Are they transgender too, now?

The downvotes are probably more about what it’s being supported than it being a shitty meme (which I concur)

Yeah like, lol

Nono, Americans made peace with the natives!

That’s truly naive. The problem isn’t the man but that all the judiciary systems are in hand of people who clearly want to dismantle the democratic system

Dragon age origins

The civilians.

Because FOSS stands for both free software and people’s freedom. No one exists without a government except for external forces that are stronger than the government itself (lobbying is a way to strong arm a government), but this is another matter entirely.

FOSS organisations should exist outside a government because governments are easily corruptible, which is has happened again and again throughout history and is slowly happening right now. And obeying the law not to be thrown in jail is a nice argument, yes, and a shitty one at that: imagine how good would be a German citizen to abide to the government rule during the Nazi period. This doesn’t mean either that they shouldn’t follow any laws, but that, much like any international organisation, they should be international laws agreed on by multiple nations.

Which is essentially the crux of the matter: as long as FOSS projects work within the framework of a government (the US), the project can be easily hijacked, turned into something that goes against people interests. What are the people interests? In short, the minimum denominator is equality, freedom to speak, a right to privacy.

If FOSS projects do have to follow a government’s laws, then contributing to one is free work for corporations: laws can be changed and a democratic society can turn into a non-democratic entity, with laws that restrict the freedom of its citizens; in EU they try to pass a “chat control” law to make cryptography useless [by adding a back door] and while I believe it won’t pass no doubt it’s a worrisome sign. At the end of the day who would benefit the most from FOSS but companies, which do so already?

And to reiterate: sometime it’s better to be thrown in prison than to send someone else to their death

It really is. Relying on a government good will to protect people best interests may be the point of failure of FOSS. I hope not but I’m less and less optimistic about the future

Law aren’t always right and governments don’t always do the best neither for the world nor for its citizens. Open source projects and corporations shouldn’t rely on any government, they shouldn’t do the biddings on governments — either “good” or “bad” — and act in people best interests.

Of course this is a pipe dream and what we got is more free work for companies with none the benefits

Yes. If FOSS projects bend the knee to shitty laws just because “they are the law”, then FOSS is free labor for corporations with no gains for the people.

I just want both the Touch ID and the Face ID on my damn phone…

So do I, working with electron is the shit

Tauri v2 just got released, it’s very recent and corps move slowly; besides, rewriting a project in a different framework is a major undertaking, it would be a bad idea to rewrite a major project in Tauri, which is still not as widespread. I’m unfortunate enough to have to work with Electron and Tauri greatly improves on everything that is wrong with Electron. I have no doubt that companies will begin adopt it in the following years (or a similar tool, the underlying architecture is solid).

Obviously but so if the current storage gets corrupted /destroyed, there is no way to restore all that data?

What are the conclusions of the research? Why was it shut down?

There is Tauri which is so much better both from UX and DX.

How is there not political instability and weak governance?

It also can truncate on the BE side when using the damn varchar

Does the J stands for Jailed?
