* we write great shit but people don't appreciate us
* donations are nice, but what we really need are regularly scheduled attaboys
* oh, and send us money, too! Cause we're depressed, and despite the fact I just got done telling you money wasn't the issue, money will totally make it better!
Real Linux requires writing shell scripts. If you aren't willing to write a shell script to startup an app at bootup, why are you even here? Systemd just makes shit too easy and well documented for everyone. Now newbs are going to be able to do all the shit we do writing shell scripts. Assholes...
We see one of these tales of open source developer woe like every other day now. You think maybe it's not open source that's the problem, but the open source developers who have been raised to be told at every turn that they are special, their work is amazing, and everyone would be lost without them?
If the software suits your personal needs better than when you started hacking on the project, then you are your own personal hero. Why do you need hordes of people telling you how great you are?
Seriously? Blaming video games for your shitty parenting? Jesus, when will the ad nauseaum attacks end? It wasn't video games the last 20 times, and it's not video games now. Raise your fucking children or sterilize.
Trying to figure out if "chicanery" is supposed to reference common GOP behavior or specifically a reference to classic chicanery, whereas the ass is your neighbor's field and your head is your plow.
If you are operating behind some medieval concept of limited peerage, you are not a scientist, you are a keeper of knowledge. More akin to a medieval hedge wizard than a modern scientist.
Paywalls hide the work from as many peers as possible in order to extract compensation, which undermes the fundamental sharing of knowledge intrinsic to science.
Something like Arxiv is a much better model if you want to be a real scientist who shares knowledge with the entire scientific community.
There would be fewer to read if they were not behind paywalls. Paywalls fracture the knowledge into silos, lead to duplicate work, and hide the work from as many peers as possible before publishing to a select few.
If your global peers around the world don't have access, that's not peer review, that's getting a select few pumpers to trumpet your work while avoiding any kind of significant and broad peer review process.
The peerage for the scientific community is the global supply of scientists. If you only show a few of your selected peers without allowing 99% of your peers to see the work, then you are not practicing science. Sorry, dude.
Then why not invest in stocks and come out the winner every ten years instead of the loser? You maybe aren't the 1% (neither am I), but each ten year cycle should give you an opportunity to climb that rank significantly.
The U.S. is a capitalist nation. When in Rome, do as the Romans. When in America, become a capitalist.
Mixing payment confirmation with nag messages is pretty much the definition of a dark pattern. Most of us don't have as much time on our hands as it appears you do, to read every message unilaterally and rudely sent to us.
Win for everyone. Americans keep a more open web. Europeans get draconian consumer protections and a demand for local tech. China gets a lower bar for international norms on censorship.
It's unworkable in a society which is already free. It's technically not workable to control the use of the Internet. If you can't convince the people to go along, you can't impose these types of rules.

Yeah, it's not like anyone uses Debian or Fedora or any of their derivative nowadays. Systemd is essentially dead on arrival.
If volunteering isn't fun or satisfying, STOP VOLUNTEERING!

BkWh must use some new metric prefix I've never encountered.

Or alternatively, second-system effect, whereas the second version is overly complicated by the poorly learned lessons of version 1.

That's not science.

If it's behind a paywall, it's not really science. The scientific method requires peer review.
And by media, they mean advertisements.
Where will you get red Solo cups? Perhaps you can import them...

Plasma is sterile upon donation.
It's all the other stuff you accidentally donate that's not sterile.
Actually, no, the solution to the actual problems being proposed is more spending. The tax increase is simply an implementation detail.
Microsoft doesn't decide how Amazon operates. If Amazon looks bad, it's down to Amazon alone.

Brits should get the Commonwealth back together. Pull Canada, Australia, and India back into the fold and give a proper Brexit fuck you to Europe.
