So that’s how they’re still alive!

Someone’s getting assassinated over this.

Can’t tell if /s

Thanks for the correction, it’s somehow worse because it low-key confirms he wants a christian theocracy, since there won’t be any non-christians left in his ideal America.

He also said Americans won’t have to worry about voting again

ngl that looks pretty good. Does it support vertical tabs?

I’ll argue that calling them unintelligent dismisses their capacity for harm.

CEOs tend to be intelligent, cold and calculated. They will take whatever decision it takes to maximize profit, with complete disregard for human life. Even when they seemingly echo conspiracy theories, they generally do it with the end goal of increasing profits by pushing some narrative, for example.

We need to understand and acknowledge that they know exactly what they are doing, and that they and their companies need to be controlled using legislation. They will not be swayed by pity and emotions, they must be controlled by other means.

Studies show that sociopaths and psychopaths are better fits for CEO roles.

If you look at it from a strictly financial angle, Patrick Collison would get really wealthy from a US annexation of Canada as his company would get access to the very lucrative and deregulated US market.

You need to have zero conscience to take the best strictly financial decisions for a company, with no regard for suffering or human life.

The same CEO who wants Canada to join the US

I found it gives better results than Google, but I’ve been refining it for about a year.

Not having competition is not a good thing. I hope a third player comes along.

Streisand effect

Well, yes, but triage is work.

I don’t disagree that this could be handled better, but it’s his decision if he no longer feels like Linux is worth supporting.

I don’t know if he gets harassed for ignoring reports from downstream builds or what, but I know this was a problem for Bottles and OBS where users became very irate and rude in the bug reports because the downstream version was broken.

Then I don’t know why you’re here in the first place.

I suggest you delete your comments if you’re going to attack people ad hominem by calling them a “cry baby” instead of clearly stating your opinion and refuse to have a conversation about it. You won’t have people replying to you about a conversation you don’t want to have.

As you said, it’s a waste of your time, and a waste of everyone else’s time.

You’ve dodged my question. Please explain how what I’ve stated is wrong.

Oh, 100% troll, I’m just enjoying watching them dig their own hole and run out of responses.

Please explain how it is wrong.

No, I understand exactly what you’re saying, you’re stating that people doing free work owe you things, and I’m stating that the licence absolves them of all obligations you claim they have.

Besides, you have not stated on what basis the developer “owes” you support besides attacking them and other commenters in this thread on an ad hominem basis.

If you wanted guaranteed support, you could ask the original author if you can get a maintenance and support contract for their application, where the limits and costs of that support are outlined in the contract.
