does not mean that they have to take any steps to contribute the changes they’ve made to the upstream project.

You’re partially right. They don’t have to “contribute back” by submitting pull requests or something similar.

They do have to contribute back by making their changes publicly available. Whether upstream uses those changes is up to them.

I’m going to ignore you now since all of your replies have shown me you’re a moron. Peace.

Star Citizen

Still waiting for it to release.

Part of what makes Souls games fun is that you can work together with others.

I pretty much only play them co-op.

When doing quests, you just go through the same loop of “talk to person, clear an absurdly huge dungeon, kill dozens of enemies that aren’t scaled to your level, die a couple dozen times unless you cheesed the game to become invincible, solve a text riddle, find the McGuffin, return, repeat” over and over again.

That’s pretty much all Elder Scrolls is. What’s particularly impressive is that they’ve been releasing the same game since the 90s.

That would require their customers to have standards.

It’s a shame people get paid to write headlines like that.

Ignorance is bliss.

Don’t forget to pay that subscription!

It allows corporations to take without giving back.

It’s why Sony and Apple based their operating systems on BSD over Linux.

They never should’ve gone with a weak license to begin with.

Whoever is suggesting and perpetuating MIT over GPL needs to be tarred and feathered.

So let them do that. Why should we be doing their dirty work for them?

Unless we’re stupid.

Businesses can already create their own forks of GPL-licensed software and not contribute their changes to the upstream project

No they can’t, at least not legally. Part of using GPL software is that you need to include the GPL with any changes you make.

It’s the entire point of the license and the concept behind copyleft.

Going from GPL to a weaker license was a terrible idea and whoever supported it should be held accountable.

The rebellion can only succeed with decentralized activity.

It’s because he’s a minority and has to look “super serious” in front of the white guys to feel like he belongs.

Very important.

At this stage, I see no reason to use anything other than KDE.

You should be very grateful that you have the resources to accommodate your tastes when most other people would just have to deal with it.

Don’t be embarrassed.

People like you and lifestyles like yours are what stop businesses from charging even more money.

Less than $100 just to feed myself.

I haven’t eaten at a restaurant in years and most of my meals are cooked by me using the cheapest ingredients I can tolerate.

I’d say that last part is more important than people realize.

Normies are used to the idea of whining whenever something doesn’t work. If they don’t have someone to whine to, they genuinely have no concept of what to do instead.

Interacting with the open source ecosystem is a very humanizing endeavor. Modern consumers are pretty much anything but human at this point.

if its free, you are the product

I always know I’m talking to a dipshit when they bust out this line.
