Holy shit that's rich.

You , as a mod, are in a position of trust! You have an obligation to your community.

-reddit who has fucked over th community

I play this game where I try to understand the ich_iel memes. I usually get close. Some of them are hilarious.

Lololol. The border situation that is objectively better than last year even with Title 42 ending and trending downward?

Also, these are encounters/apprehensions, which by the very definition of those terms means we are interdicting illegal crossers. So if you want to play the game of "record apprehensions!" Then, great. Kudos to the Biden administration for stopping the most people ever. More than Trump! More than Obama! More than Bush!

This is a waste of time and resources. For the party that throws "witch hunt" around, I can't think of a better term to describe this type of BS.

Fixing our immigration issues requires nuance and compromise. Neither of those things are an earmark of our current Congress or political climate.

Part of my rexxit so far has included me dusting off newsreaders and rss feeds again.

Im trying to find a good set up. Newsblur seems to be a front runner. I have nextcloud selfhosted, so I could use that with the $2.99 android app or I could pay for newsblur or feedly a few bucks each month.

Either way, having a self-curated feed of news these last few days has been pretty amazing. There is no algorithm tuned for engagement pumping news in my face. It's just stories, articles, YouTube videos, and podcasts that I want to see (on my terms).

Can I ask why you think that's too short? It seems like a long time for no activity on an account. And they are fairly generous about defining activity.

This seems reasonable to me.

I think you meant vim or neovim--the one true vim.

you have to be logged in to see that icon. I learned that as I was going to ask "what icon?! I dont see anything". I guess I was logged out, but when I logged in, the icon appeared.

Its been going on for a while.

Barry Goldwater has a few good quotes about it.

This is a fantastic response.

In that sense, isn't Redhat pushing to CentOS Stream?

We would be opening the door to allow a large corporation to do what they've done with open source for a while. They'll privatize the public commons.

But all this work [GPL licensing] was ridiculed. Microsoft, through Github, Google and Apple pushed for MIT/BSD licensed software as the open source standard. This allowed them to use open source components within their proprietary closed products. They managed to make thousands of free software developers work freely for them. And they even received praise because, sometimes, they would hire one of those developers (like it was a "favour" to the community while it is simply business-wise to hire smart people working on critical components of your infrastructure instead of letting them work for free). The whole Google Summer of Code, for which I was a mentor multiple years, is just a cheap way to get unpaid volunteers mentor their future free or cheap workforce.

Our freedoms were taken away by proprietary software which is mostly coded by ourselves. For free. We spent our free time developing, debugging, testing software before handing them to corporations that we rever, hoping to maybe get a job offer or a small sponsorship from them. Without Non-copyleft Open Source, there would be no proprietary MacOS, OSX nor Android. There would be no Facebook, no Amazon. We created all the components of Frankenstein’s creature and handed them to the evil professor.

This article is actually pretty great.

And for emphasis:

The jail one seems a little "edge case" but the dead relative one is interesting. I think Google's "takeout" would help with that.
