If they continue push upstream per the license then it works. There's a lot of Linux desktop apps that work this way; it's hardly a broken model.

RMS did a really poor job of explaining why closed source firmware is problematic to free software, I agree, and I'll explain better below. I also have some critique of activist language. First, activist language is pretty hard for any

Reddit conversations are mostly memes at this point. I have two geographic subreddits for my city. One is owned by a dude in another city, I'm pretty sure Detroit, who just doesn't moderate anything. The other is owned by a group

I don't normally comment on articles that I don't like, but this is just awful. It diverges so far away from ethics that it's practically someones moral musings. For instance: > So, for in-house batch jobs, they are starte

I guess I was surprised that they commented on political language reinvention at all. I've seen it happen a lot over the last decade and there seems to be an automatic adoption of the redefinition of words to fit political aims. Person

Both are privileges, but claiming that a remote worker can "just move close to a tech campus and get the same things" is a pitch from left field that requires at least four relays. That was the purpose in calling out that privileg

Not so much smug, but annoyed at your meltdown, and I agree it wasn't helpful. I do get that hearing about privilege, especially if you're exposed to those conversations a lot (or more than others) can be pretty annoying. I'v
