Cool, I’ma go tell my wife something we disagree on is idiotic and we’ll see how it goes. Should be fine, right? It’s not combative!

What an idiotic comparison.

.

…is incredibly reductive and combative. The world needs less of that, not more.

Be the change, homie.

In any case, do recall that many of us are in enterprise environments where we’re not the only decision makers. Plus, FOSS without reliable support contracts isn’t workable for many use cases. If something in FOSS goes tits up none of my customers will be satisfied with the great discussion I had with the devs about it and how they’ll totally get to it after Furrycon.

You might not be paying for software in money but you’re going to pay for it, one way or another.

Aren’t most farms corporate operations now?

Here’s the bit that chills me:

Representatives from the Kremlin, the Russian defense ministry, and the Russian embassy to the United States did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the issue.

If they’re not denying it immediately that says they think there’s some utility in not doing so.

[Insert lengthy, nigh incomprehensible diatribe on why, well acthually, Qatar isn’t practicing slavery in the very specific and coincidentally convenient meaning of the word I invented 5 minutes ago]

[Insert picture of pig shitting on itself]

[Insert insult and throwaway line about CIA propaganda]

There, I think that covers the bases for the thread, don’t you?

Okay but Obama with Spike Spiegel’s hair though.

In Japan. One of the least religious nations on earth.

It’s quite easy to read that as “all of Israel” without the qualifiers, and I’ve seen many people on here saying just that, so please pardon the confusion.

I think the distinction is important though, and it’s why I tend to say “fuck the CCP” and not “fuck China.”

I have no beef with Chinese people, but a lot with the CCP.

It’s for sure gonna get uglier. I’m told Bibi has implemented a bunch of anti-democratic shit to rig things his way but I don’t know enough about Israeli internal politics to say for certain if that’s the case. Him and Trump seemed to think alike in that regard. (To the extent Orange Julius thinks anyway.)

Israel is not the Likud Party or Netanyahu just like Hamas is not the Palestinian people.

“Know who should make big decisions about running our software company? Finance lizards, obviously!”

pathetic Bourgeois Humanist tendencies

Calling dibs on this for my new prog band. Nobody else gets to take it. On second thought maybe it’s a better album title.

Pretty sure that’s these people, right?

Edit: Actually this guy signed onto Unity in 2014 Unity was still privately held. It went public in September of 2020. Unity’s founder, David Helgason is still on their board and served as some sort of Senior Executive whatever position at Unity. Dude still has a 4% share of their stock.

So anyway, probably this David Helgason character who hired him. And/or whoever else (including Riccitiello!?) who was on the board at the time.

The relationship between CEOs and boards of directors is so fucked up and incestuous…

In any case and in retrospect, Johnny boy was 100% hired to cue them for up for the eventual IPO and boy did he ever. It’s amazing how fast companies go down hill when they become publicly traded.

I’m sorry, did the Ukrainians just start bombing the shit out of Moscow unprompted?

Here’s a starting point.

YES. MORE.

The developing world isn’t going to tolerate a reduced standard of living because Western Europeans got the industrial revolution party started first.

Fossil Fuel Austerity is the thoughts and prayers of the climate change crisis. It’s not gonna happen, people. There will not be a global come to Gaia moment before everything goes to hell. So we best start figuring out how to capture carbon and actively manage the climate or our species is doomed.

The theory among some open, accepting Christians is that Paul was actually talking about the various abusive practices like pedophilia that were common among the ancient Greek peoples of the region.

The ancient and classical world was a profoundly fucked up place.
