I mean there are issues around facts and sources to begin with. I have had conversations around philosophies were the person wants to link things about the philosophy like it proves it or want to link something like opinion studies and want to say its a fact around the thing. So having a source does not mean anything as anything can be a source. Still its reasonable with a news article to want to see a credible source if the only source is like a blog that claims a bunch of stuff. All that being said I have been in conversations were I recognize that the person im talking with have fundamental differences of perspectives and no actual unassailable facts are being exchanged and I will start to say I disagree and eventually that look we fundamentally disagree so the convo should just end. I keep on going because they will respond with something that is a question.

As folks have said. An individual asshole has advantage over an individual non asshole. Thing is our society can only funtion with a certain amount of assholes before collapsing and it does not take a surprisingly large amount. Which is why we are collapsing.

so an illinois policeman called a guy in atlanta around a convo about a thing that happened in utah??? That policeman should be investigated.

Try to fix it since I don’t seem to have initiated it or know if it will ever end. It gets kinda wierd as so I can interact and move things? But if I play a tape or video it won’t play yeah? Its a pretty fucked situation.

Its possible but unlikely and gets even more problematic with after dictator times. Best chance would be setting up a system and then using the dictator powers to tweak or fix things till you die.

perusing comments to see if anyone would mention thx.

I don’t think you understand what the word figurative means.

ugh. I feel like you did not read my reply. Im saying his use of the word theft should not be taken literally given the context of his statement. he was not looking to say apple stole code he was looking to say use gpl because otherwise corps get code and don’t contribute back.

You were wrong for having a relationship with a coworker. Don’t shit where you eat as they say. I would avoid any girls like this. removed the condom. wtf. I would assume she was inviting anal at that point.

But that is what he was actually saying. His comment was he would rather see it as gpl because mit effectively allows the hard work to be stolen like what we saw with apple and bsd. Hes not blaming apple he is just saying he would not have issue if it was gpl instead of mit. Again its like you have to look at the whole message and context for meaning rather than the strict definition of the one line.

Yeah I think you are just ignoring context. He means steal the way someone just taking advantage of the commons might be said to. Ugh he only comes to these things so he can steal away a bunch of pastries back to his pad. The language is to mean that the bsd license allows folks to steal while the gpl requires reciprocity.

Had to look it up but its funny its towels that make me want to have something just ever so slightly easier to throw on than a pair of shorts. Like were you don’t have to lift your legs.

Although if it did happen they could be sued for breaking it. I really don’t get the sarcasm here. with mit/bsd not giving back is fully legal with gpl its not.

yes. that is why he is saying go with the gpl or at least if your adding code add it to gpl unless you are fine with your stuff being used but nothing coming back to the communities by others.

Combining two of the things I most hate. Makes sense.

some of the people who vote for them but as far as what the party does in power its lower taxes on the wealthy and fuck up as much of the government as they can while they are in charge. When not in charge they complain about how taxes are to high and how the government is fucked up and its all the democrats fault its like that.

They used to like back in the eighties and nineties but it keeps getting pushed back further. They are targeting the late 1800’s I think about now.

Wish the kilt had become a more common thing.

It was actually sorta funny to see an accusation against a fediverse member I know well enough from posts to roll my eyes at. I think I had someone call me a tankie the other day not that long after I had an interminable argument with a workers owning the means of production level socialist.

states never been better, federal has never been worse, city, town, and county have never been more meh.
