That’s not the line though. Some words are not used for a reason, everyone understands it. It’s not some magical incomprehensible mystery, it’s a basic human decency.

You’re are allowed to do whatever the fuck you want. You’re not allowed to bitch like a child if whatever you’re doing will provoke the reaction that might be unpleasant to you. That’s how community self-regulates. One idiot says “unalive”, someone else tells them that they’re a fucking idiot, they don’t want to be called an idiot, they don’t say “unalive” anymore, that’s how it supposed to work.

My intentions are to promote human flourishing, and I try to follow my intentions. If I was talking about someone else, I would unequivocally qualify that as being a good person. So by transitive purposes I just have to qualify myself as one.

There is only one guy who guessed correct religion after particularly vivid mushroom trip, but he’s still in hell because he started doing correct things for the wrong motivation.

If someone never experienced the warm sharp edges of the newspaper Pravda on their bum over the shithole of a village toilet, they never actually lived. Good on them, I say.

Going there was never a problem, the part where they started killing people and bombing shit is what we take an issue with.

Don’t know what is involved in your process, but recently I made some baked vegies with cheese in a ceramic tray, and the only difference is, I had to run dishwasher on a long mode instead of regular eco mode I use. Then I wiped it with a towel and it was as clean as it was the day I bought it. I don’t know what to tell you, it’s a normal German dishwasher, nothing out of the ordinary. It’s a new one, the house I’m renting in is like 3 years old, maybe that’s the difference. But my previous one was some older model, and I also don’t remember any troubles with it.

What weak ass dishwasher are you using? Normal ones will clean everything from everything.

Why would anyone waste enormous amount of energy making a new engine, when forked Gecko works and you can backport Mozilla’s updates to it. Same way with Linux, everyone uses Linux kernel because it exists.
When/if those project die, that’s when you’ll start seeing replacements, and at some point the best or most popular will be seen as mainstream and will be a focus point of all the enthusiasts. Like Firefox now.
There is absolutely no reason to believe that a corporation is required to have a good opensource project, just because right now a corporation maintains this specific one.

These forks are in essence just preconfigured and hardened Firefox

That’s also not true for a lot of the projects. Forks maintain their own code, porting new updates from Mozilla’s stuff, but they aren’t required to port everything, and that’s the big reason to use them.

if Mozilla stopped maintaining Firefox, almost all of its forks would die.

That’s an assumption. You’re severely underestimating the amount of work open source maintainers put into those things.

Would these people pay […] Canonical for their work?

Plenty of nice distribs exist without being maintained by a corporation. Good on them, for getting to have a bunch of money of the opensource, but it’s not a necessary model for the opensource projects to survive.

I see a lot of people shit on Firefox for integrating LLM-related features

And that’s good, as it should be. They crammed this bullshit that nobody asked for, and reluctantly gave a button to opt out a year later, and it’s still on by default. This is bad behavior regardless of your stance on it.

Those people started doing it becaus a ghost told a guy that the magical energy flows through the spine and every illness happens because the spine is misaligned and needs to be straighten. You don’t need a doctor to tell you the merit of all that

They force us to commit crimes of vehicular nature! They practically make us to steal cars (not respecting private property, communism!)! What happened to this wholesome franchise called Grand Theft Auto, horror. It used to be about saying n-word, but now it’s about disrespecting our boys in blue!

Vapor World: Over The Mind is a Soulslike Metroidvania

Daring today, aren’t we? Is it also a deck builder somehow? No wonder they had to slop the slop, creative juices run out on the fourth word of the title

Yeah, but it burns muscles at a comparable rate. Those things go away if you don’t use them, very, very quickly.

Walking for miles makes you the opposite of whatever this sculpted shit is, it’s an endurance activity. In order to look like that you need to spend workdays in a gym doing specific gym things, it’s a bodybuilder’s body, not a walker’s body or “occasionally has to fight random people in a parking lot” body

True, but to be quite honest, I’m not that paranoid. The unity analytics I don’t care about, they can have that. I wouldn’t like it if they were doing something beyound checking out how their engine works, but I don’t think that’s happening yet (although I might be mistaken)

Modern tripple A games are shitty 9 times out of 10, and remaining good ones are way overpriced. But gaming is on all time rise, the amount of incredible games around, made by passionate and talented people are staggering. Indy is where it’s at!

I don’t know if they can afford gatekeep it on consoles for that long. Previously, I knew I would be buying it regardless, now I envision the internet full of posts how buggy it is and how nonsensical quests are and how sloppy it feels, and after a year of that I would avoid it even when it comes to pc. They might want to ride the hype all the way and try to push it on pc before it sauers the grapes.
It could be not true if the game is good, but come on, we all know that wouldn’t happen.

There are no main characters in Rimworld, but I now very, very worry for my organs. The only grace is, I play my colonies as nicely to everyone is possible, so I just hope I’m one of those nice successful ones, that is friendly to everyone, and is swimming in silver selling beer, lavish meals, and drugs to everyone around. And not one of the hundreds died of a mad squirrel scratch in the first quadrum

Money Dollar Euro Money Rupee. Ching ching.
