OS is not for everyone.

Isn't it part of the definition that it is?

It's just what the article said. I do not use Google play services or its alternative implementations. There is nothing blocking graphene anymore than any other ROM on this specific issue. If anything graphene is one or the only roms that has an option to use the sandbox Google play.

tl;dr my original response was made for one reason, to respond to your statement with what the article said and some flavor text around that. The title to this thread was not only misleading, but a full on red herring. The OP the article did not even say graphene once.

Anon account? I never signed into aurora so I'd assume mines anon as well?

I'm not your bud, friend.

There's many mpv frontends to choose from. It's a command line tool by default, certainly poweruser focused in it's default form.

Thanks!

Bud, you can both use it and not donate, and stop chuds from doing anything that benefits them. If you think challenging fascists is a problem, you're a fascist for helping them. There is no such thing as an apolitical, human-made production, which means you have to constantly weed out harmful politics from everything; it's called criticism.

Took your advice and did this. Thanks for the heads-up!

His original claim to fame was building a gaming website in the early 00s utilizing some really poorly written php. a friend then asked him to essentially build basecamp because said friend didn't know any better and DHH was the only person that kinda sorta knew what he was doing. he got lucky with ruby on rails (what he used to build basecamp) cause his previous stuff was really bad.

The reasons for forking Audacity were all valid but not necessarily important for the end user. It’s still GPL, you can still fork it and do whatever you want (GPL caveats apply).

• CLA requirement for contributors (not uncommon in open source projects)
• Adding telemetry and crash reporting (which is opt-in)
• Privacy policy written to be on the safe side of regulatory compliance (understandable given corporate stewardship)

the fact that he is where he is because of some truly horrible PHP

Could you please explain what you mean here, for those of us unfamiliar with the context?

Wasn't there some reason to have audacity and use tenacity instead? Some sketchy thing?

additionally, i'm not saying that opposing racism or bigotry is immature. I'm saying throwing out a successful open-source project because the owner is allegedly a racist/bigot (i admittedly know nothing or care to know anything about this DHH character) is counterproductive. Is the code racist/bigoted? If I make something using Omarchy as my OS, am I racist/bigoted? It sounds like that's what you're implying...

i find it interesting you think that i do not have kindness or empathy based on my stance. I'd be curious if you were to meet me in real life if you could pick me out of a hypothetical lineup.

This project has received money because it has drawn people to linux. I can still appreciate open-source code even if it's written by an asshat.

On the other hand, I won't touch an Apple product and I judge tech enthusiasts who do. I will still say they make impressive products, but I have a strong stance against proprietary code for the sake of profit.

You've fallen for the paradox of tolerance, OSS version.

The author, and you, were mistaken: OS is not for everyone. It's not about whether I or anyone else "likes" them. Nazis and corpos don't come to software communities with honest intent. They lie and mislead to gain power and control. Then they consolidate power and exploit their control for personal gain.

That isn't "political" it's predatory, and people who treat it like politics are running cover for the exploiters whether they know it or not.

I don't want to change their shitty opinions. I want them banned from our communities so their corrosive influence can't cause further harm.

Great minds think alike! I ended up installing it last night. I need to fiddle with the font size of the keys to better accommodate my fingers, but it's a good replacement so far.

I’d argue that GPL is still counterculture, it’s just that permissive licensing is more common these days and both are conflated into single umbrella of free software. Permissive licensing culture made way into traditional free software spaces like Linux and we’re seeing results of that now.

I'll be happy for the day people stop believing foss is a story of ethical philanthropy and instead understand its macroeconomic value to consortiums who need technology that isn't owned by a monopoly.

It looks great

Great read. I learned through this about the Mullvad controversy, and I think I'll stop using their services, which sucks because I think they were really ahead in the game when it comes to their privacy features. Oh well.

I'm glad this is getting a lot of push back. The FOSS community should be a welcoming collaborative space, but such an environment is not possible when bigotry is is tolerated.

It simpliefeis and unifies things too much, which is nice for making things "Just Work" but not so nice for making things work well.

Same reason I went back to init from systemd.

I like a more modular and intentional apprtoach, even if it is less simple.

Issue is, fascists engage in entryism a lot more than leftists, so there's a good chance it'll get flooded with plausible sounding but fake reports (pretty easy to AI generate then touch it up by hand to hide the telltale signs), or at worse will be used to harass marginalized folks by trying to frame 10+ year old posts (if not completely fake ones) as representative of someone today. Also you'll be creating them an easy to search solidarity list, so they'll be just supporting those projects even more.
