Thanks for sharing this. Maybe correct tagging could be useful. Makes it easier to ignore but not overly heavy and possibly toxic.

You don’t do open source software?

Do you understand open source licenses?

A big premise of that is attributation. If you don’t give appropriate credit, you’re in breach of license. The code AI used didn’t allow it to be distributed without it. They stole from that person.

We’re talking about the worker, not the bourgeoisie. Their labour was exploited to benefit a corporate entity. And you’re consuming stolen proceeds from the bourgeoisie and defending their contributions.

Damn. Imagine shilling for big AI companies because you gain something. Those companies stole from people to sell it. Where are your principles?

OpenSuse TW. Network seems to be permission based. If I’m connected to the Internet on one user and someone logs in, they cannot connect without my pass. Quite ridiculous.

Oh, and I used to hibernate. Then it stopped working. Now I try to sleep and that sporadically fails requiring restart.

Why don’t you support a Linux distro that runs on prehistoric hardware?

It’s very easy to spend other peoples time than offer your own for something you clearly don’t care enough about.

If you missed the comment. Previous kernel version is supported until 2035. That’s 9 more years. You need any longer than that?

Which means?

A .world user singular, complaining about .ml users plural. I’m complaining about the regular pattern of some users and it is frequent.

This is a regular narrative that all .ml users are tankies so are not worth engaging with and yeah, it is insulting.

You don’t know me and that’s fine. I’m not sure why your recognition of me is relevant? Am I irrelevant if not known? There are 10s of thousands of users on Lemmy. I put time into moderating 2 big communities here for the greater good, but hey, because I’m on this instance, I’m seen as “tankie” scum.

Another day, another .world user complaining about .ml users.

Usually the ones complaining are usually abrasive pro-US imperialist types.

I’m from the UK, so screw Russian and American foreign policy and those that shill for China make me nauseous. I’m on .ml from when .world couldn’t keep their servers up. My main alt died with lemm.ee (RIP).

User on .world account complains about .world moderation.

This isn’t a new problem, folk have been warning about it for a long time on Lemmy. Folk didn’t want to hear it. I personally have zero confidence in their moderation. The cases I saw lacked impartiality and occasionally maturity. There are better instances. .sh.it.works for example.

I cannot imagine an organisation that appointed these moderators/admins would do particularly different on a mastodon server.

Best you can do, is move away from .world so folk see there is more out there to the fediverse than them. All eggs in the .world basket is a scandal waiting to happen.

I hear India and some other Asian countries are very high.

Partial or attempted is part of the definition of genocide. You really should do your research before you start arguing on definitions.

Words don’t mean what you want them to.

It’s been learning from github in terms of downtime. Still winning though.

This is whatabouttery. I care about Darfur, Myanmar, Tigray, etc. That doesn’t take away from what is happening in Palestine.

You have yet to describe why any of those situations are worse than flattening schools, hospitals, collapse of healthcare, full blockade of food, medical supplies, water, people living in camps where disease is rampant.

How is Iran killing a number of civilians worse than killing civilians, starvation, disease, shooting babies in the head?

All your post is doing, is showing bias, and a lack of care about what is happening there. The problems is you cannot persuade someone to care about human suffering, and if you don’t, why should I engage with you in a logical debate?

Your problem is, you don’t care, and you want people to be fine with you being fine with children being shot in the head. You’re on a left-leaning platform where people give a shit about their fellow man. People who give their time to work on open source generally have empathy as a core view.

Post your pro-Israel views on Xitter, or reddit and you’ll get the validation you prefer. Its an echo chamber close to yoir political persuasion. You enter a place that think differently and prepare to be challenged. Ultimately, if you want to be an empathetic human being, prepare to be wrong. Can you handle that? Your bio suggests you won’t engage if downvoted. I’ve not down voted you, but I’ll tell you you’re wrong. I say you’re wrong because I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt and I’m assuming you’re not evil.

When the pattern of behaviour gives very clear indication of intent, the denial of this indicates that either you’re in favour of it, or don’t think it’s a bad thing.

When what folk see makes them feel sick to their stomach, such as a child being shot in the head, or families being shot in line for food due to a scarcity created by those making the people line up like animals, it’s going to elicit a visceral response. I personally could not fathom how a human being with functioning empathy could be fine with that.

You’ve already stated you like discussing with people of privilege. That I’m alright, Jack attitude when it comes to life and death is pretty disturbing. What makes us feel is what makes us human.

It seems everyone is the problem but them.

A distinct lack of self-awareness and a huge pile of narcissism.

All because they throw it into b2b with teams and ado and windows and whatever other shit they call software.

My issue is that corporate folk behind this attempted to do this. IMHO, the stewardship of the project is all wrong, and the motives questionable. It did feel like you were defending their actions. Corporate influence is not a defining aspect of open source for me. Its an unfortunate problem that ultimately leads to the true dilemma. Open source is about sharing and giving your time freely, corporate goals is how can we profit from our position in this project.

Through pushing through user antagonistic changes completely at odds with users wants and hoping people are pliable enough to forget all about trying to be screwed so you can bide time until the next at attempt to screw users?

Well, that’s the vibe I’m getting from you. I naively assumed open source was based on trust, shared effort and contributions to benefit users so they can install software on their machine that they know is reliable/trustworthy and privacy focussed because anyone can scrutinise it. Silly me.

So they raised a PR with the intention to do this?

Are you saying the only reason they backtracked is because users weren’t happy?

I think originally it was the other way and many distros use a compiler flag to stop it being opt out.
