Palestinian babies

Plenty of people in The West^R don’t consider them worthy of empathy, but a white woman of small stature who first became famous as a child might be a different story. We need a mass worldwide cultural shift to identifying all humans as part of the in group or we aren’t going to make it through this century.

It was 2 million across the country, not a single city. Still impressive though.

Italians shutting down their country to defend Palestinians and in America we can’t even strike to defend ourselves.

Oregon was originally founded as an all-white state. The PNW has lots of racists and they all live in the stix since they think Portland and Seattle are portals to Hell.

And as far as the Northeast is concerned, I think only Vermont has rural areas that aren’t MAGA.

Those might be nice towns but at this point I’m staying away from any MAGA states, regardless of whether they have islands of sanity in them.

He may be a member of the Republican party but if you just look at his record as governor, you’d probably guess he’s a Democrat. Pro choice, trans rights, thoroughly anti Trump, and even a lot of his tax cuts seem to prioritize relief for the working poor rather than the leech investor class.

Also, this is anecdotal but I’ve spent some time in Vermont and the conservatives there who I met were by and large reasonable, open-minded, and anti-Trump (there were a couple of exceptions but nowhere is perfect).

When’s the last time you tried Plasma? I felt the same way about it as you did until version 6. I’ve been driving it now since 6.2 and its at least as polished as Gnome but with WAY more features and almost infinite customization out of the box.

There are not dozens of alternative browsers. There is Chromium, Safari, and Firefox, with a few niche options that aren’t really production ready yet and may never be. The “variety” you speak of is just Chromium in lots of disguises.

You have no idea what I’m doing. Get off your high horse.

If you make martyrs you aren’t advancing the cause.

Yes, this exactly.

And what do you expect us to achieve other than getting ourselves killed?

General strike is the only answer.

Bring the economy to a halt via general strike and street marches that disrupt traffic. Nothing short of that will get anyone’s attention.

Thank you for the additional context.

2028? The fascist takeover will be complete by then. What the fuck is this shit?

That’s a little disingenuous. The Immigration and Naturalization Service had insecure men terrorizing immigrants from 1933 until they were absorbed by ICE in 2003.

The only one of your sources that directly contradicts what I am claiming is the Wikipedia line about the source being publicly available. But that is inaccurate. All the major open source licenses require source code be available to anyone who has access to the executable form of the software - not the public in general. So, if some FOSS software is available to download on the Internet without any restriction on its access, then so must the source code. Most FOSS software is distributed this way.

However, if you write software under an open source license, you are not required to share that software with anyone. The license requires you to distribute the source ALONG WITH the software. But it doesn’t require you to make the software freely available to everyone, or anyone.

Tying back to my original point, which has been derailed by myriad people who refuse to read before thinking they know things, I was saying that we don’t need exceptions for military software because it can be licensed as open source without that code being handed over to our enemies. But requiring it to be open source would, for example, preclude the DoD from building kill switches into the F-35s that they sell to our allies, because they’d be required to share the design of the plane’s control systems along with the product - again, only to the people who receive a copy of the product - not to the public at large.

Its not just GPL. MPL, BSD work this way as well. And the original post refers to open source, not “code available to all”. Come back with a commonly used open source license that enforces what you’re describing and maybe you’ll have a point. Otherwise, why are we arguing about things that can just be looked up?

That is simply not true. Go read a few open source licenses and see for yourself. They only require that the source code be distributed with copies of the software itself. The code is not required to be made available to the general public.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. Go read the GPL and you’ll see that’s what it says too.
