Google: "Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified.

And we will NEVER trust you again because we know you’ll retry this next year or so in a few smaller steps that all have cutesy innocent names that are supposed to lull us in a false sense of security

Fuck Google, stop paying them for anything, stop using their services wherever possible.

These assholes literally made sure that this shutdown got everyone the worst of all worlds

Government was shut down

Longest shutdown ever is now solved by Trump, he’ll claim

Government employees went without payment (may still not even get it now)

People went without food

Democrats budged

Trump won

It’s literally everything wrong. They had one job, keep steadfast, don’t bend the kn… Never mind, Democrats are again the good little pussies that they’ve always been.

Your country is sooooo fucked.

Private equity firms are literally the cancer for businesses and indirectly, humanity.

They continuously grow, take everything they can get, and kill anything in its path

AI will never become a bubble as long as idiots keep pumping money into it!

I’ve been hearing this for years now, and predictably, nothing happened.

What’s different this time?

And how trustworthy is this source? I’ve seen many a blog like this one that is just sponsored messages from state X wanting to make state Y look bad

I hate the idea, because short term everybody loses, lose loved ones, lose their own lives, but one does wonder if a civil war would finally be able to break Russia into smaller normal independent democratic states that can take care of themselves

Yeeaaaahhh, no, that won’t stop unless indeed a civil war breaks out in Russia.

“The position of the FFmpeg X account is that somehow disclosing vulnerabilities is a bad thing. Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them.”

Yeah slave, stop complaining get your ass back to work because I’m about to dump more obligatory work on your lap that you will fix for no pay, I don’t care you have a family to feed!

Your complaining about not having any sponsor for the free work that we sell for millions of dollars may cause that you don’t get any sponsors!

The entitlement and mental gymnastics here at display is insane

Google has made billions off of open source software they got and used for free. Sure, they gave back a few fractions of a penny for each million they made with it, they gave back with adding some softwares here and there when it strategically suited them, but the simple fact is that without open source software, Google wouldn’t exist today, definitely not the way they do now.

Hell, the internet wouldn’t exist as it does today, it would be a tiny fraction of what it is today without open source software. Open source software is amazing yet most people in the world don’t even know that it exists, that it’s a concept, and that people are doing this

Yet there are countless companies profiting majorly from the work of others without giving back a dime. There are multinationals that profit in the billions from open source software without giving back properly or at all.

We need an updated GPL amendment or something that requires companies to start giving back productively in some form or another once they start majorly profiting from the work of open source projects.

OpenSSL heart bleed, for sure

Great example of corporations just taking from open source and not giving back a dime because fuck you, give us your work!

I’d love to see a GPL version where if you’re a company, and you make more than x amount of profit with open source projects, that you gotta fund it with y amount, depending on your profit or something

ALL big tech companies have gotten ginormous thanks to open source software, and though some have given back something, and some have done some funding, it’s always been such few pennies on so many dollars that it might as well have been slavery. Add to that that many times what was given back was only given back because it was a good thing, strategically, for them.

Tech companies are abusive as fuck which made them so insanely big, powerful and rich and this nonsense has to stop

Open source is awesome and ALL software should be open source as far as I’m concerned, but the abuse from tech corporations has to stop

I’ve always been like that since decades ago and my family just always had this “oh you…” attitude. Most people don’t understand.

Having said that, happy to see more girls and women interested in this! That used to be very different

As predicted, as cruelty is the point

I do not agree

Yes, it sometimes can be difficult and frustrating, but so long as someone, anyone, is willing to try and learn and fail and retry, they can get my help

Have you forgotten that you too started at 0?

pics or it didn’t happen

I saw the video, so yeah, there are pics

“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning, and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Is that even English?

So there would be 8 people on top?

You so understand that people as rich as him didn’t get to be that rich by being all ethical and having good morals, right?

And you do understand that being a nice guy doesn’t mean you rely on government assistance?

You’re not dumb, are you?

Maybe

But as long as we make “out side” hostile for people to walk over, we will make it worse for ourselves.

I’d rather treat coverts nice with the risk that they might continue to be a dick but who knows, she might see us how we actually really are, learn, and change her stance. Maybe she can even pull some more to the nice side.

I very much agree with you

There are reasons why you sometimes during a revolution or at the end of a war need to end the lives of a few people, certain ring leaders. See the Neurenberg trials for example.

But yeah, the Soviet Union went way way over the edge and started killing people indiscriminately just because terror. Something similar happened (and in some way still happens) in china. It’s the main reason why I’m veryuch against communism

Tangent that is required because I hear the tankies furiously tying: Give me socialism supported by a very well clamped down capitalist system that simply puts hard limits in how much anyone can own. Anything over (for example) 10 million in net worth goes 100% to tax. Companies cannot be worth more than 1 billion, the rest goes 100% to tax. Gives the government a huge tax income to pay for a socialist system that can pay for free healthcare, free education, free housing, hell, universal basic income even. Companies cannot get too powerful, people cannot get too powerful but at the same time it leaves the rest as-is, so we retain all our freedoms

I practice Karate and I’ve trained in dojos world wide and everywhere it’s the same, everyone is super down to earth, humility and respect are baked in and I’d be extremely surprised if any of the practitioners (at least the higher level belts) would be racist, let alone a Nazi sympathizer, as you always work and train together with people from all nationalities.

There is a huge amount of respect for other practitioners, there is simply no space for hatred over nothing

Source on that? I’ll believe you but I’d be nice to have a good source to read up on it
