He is now slowly trying to buy what rich people normally can't buy; acceptance and recognition. Don't fall for it. He keeps doing the same criminal things in parallel. The world would be better without him and people like him.

I wrote it as a tongue in cheek against the OP that said "..I really hope the tech crowd is working on jailbreaking this garbage".

Surprise surprise, that comment is sitting with 49 upvotes 1 downvote, mine that you admonish is on 27 upvotes 13 downvotes.

This kind of proves the point. The "tech crowd" doesn't owe you anything. [email protected], you don't know how much of my personal and professional life I have spent fully on open source.

Get up your feet and talk with your family, representatitives. Legislate this shit away. Nobody accepts food products that dont have a recipe or with unknown ingredients. Nobody accepts engineering projects without plans. Demand open source and interoperability.

We try. We also pivot to open source to try and regain control because it's the only way. We even share our passions with those who ask.

You folks just roll your eyes and put more money on their hands.

I just setup an old friend couple new computer with Windows. We lost a full day as the HP printer didn't work (yet worked via Android and my linux laptop without installing absolutely anything), Outlook doesn't save passwords (so we moved to Thunderbird), chrome is a mess (so we moved to Firefox + unlock origin), Microsoft excel is incredibly expensive and refused to open the only spreadsheet they needed (so me moved to libreoffice)...

A fucking nightmare. And everything worked fine with FOSS or on my laptop.

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

She weighted 2 kilos more than allowed the day before, putting her over 50, even almost making it to 53 which would be 2 weight classes over.

They put her in dehydration, diet, "trash bag" running to get all sweat out, a Sauna in the morning of the weight-in (but she wasn't sweating anymore), they removed blood from her, and as a last measure, cut her hair.

She failed.

She needed IV injections right after the moment of the weight-in by the committee. She then was hospitalized and remains hospitalized. It seems that luckily she is fine.

Disqualification is there to prevent countries pushing their athletes through these ordeals, which have long-term consequences on their health.

The code needs to maintain the copyrights and authors. They are "mirroring" usernames into their own domain, with mails that dont correspond to the original authors, stealing their contributions.

You are right, thanks! Edited

Climate change is real. We either do nothing and everything changes, or we change our way of living to save humanity. Either way, change is coming.

There's nothing to conserve. Conservatism doesn't have a ground in facts & reality, if it ever had. Hence conservatism now fights fanatically for its own survival, and capitalism survival, at the ~~behest~~ cost of all us, the progress that humanity has achieved so far, and the planet that we all share.
