So long as it's okay for the company to hire whomever they want.
In a more civilised part of the world - they can.
But they can't refuse to hire somebody just because they belong to a union, and the union doesn't get any say in whether a nonunion person gets employed.

Actually, every big game studio has fought tooth and nail to ensure it never happens and that anyone involved in any such effort never works in the industry again.
And in the same more civilised part of the world - they can't. See above.
In some parts of the world people act like grownups.
...If you think that it suffers in some way, how about buying the developers a cup of coffee perhaps, or send a patch over for merger?...
After losing the ability to save anything other than xcf and seeing their reaction to complaints about it I'm not sure a cup of coffee will do the trick.
Be better advised to put effort into Krita.
I think he will just learn to be cutting and harsh in a polite way. It is not that hard to utterly destroy somebody while staying perfectly polite and seemingly not even getting personal at all.

Me: Hello?
Scammer: This is John from Microsoft, you computer has a virus.
Me: Have you told your parents that your job is trying to steal money from people like them in another country?
Scammer: [5 seconds of silence]... [strangled voice]...no... [line disconnects]
I tried that the last* time I got a similar call - with exactly the same result.
*Dumped the landline just after, haven't had any since.
Notice how you said you are doing something "intelligent", like reading a book and "they" are not. That's arrogant AF.
"They" are developing their bodies, bonding, creating social structures that may last a lifetime, learning nonverbal signals, experiencing actual emotions, for god's sake man.
You are reading a book.
I've done both. Reading a book wins.
"...bonding, creating social structures that may last a lifetime, learning nonverbal signals, experiencing actual emotions..."
only works if the rest of the team consists of thinking people. I've seen too many jockstrappers with less intelligence than a pithed frog to ever have any respect for anybody solely because they are accomplished at some sport.
...Ha! He's not cheering hard enough during the opening meeting cheer session!! (Really, Walmart employees have to do this ridiculous cheer because some moron somewhere is under the delusion that it makes better workers with no evidence to back it up. Typical corporate horseshit.)...
Sounds standard for mission critical systems where hundreds or thousands of lives could be at stake. Don't like
boenig's exorbitant maintenance fees? Come to Bob's discount 787 repair.
Provided Bob is licenced (ie they've proved they really understand how to fix stuff properly) - there really isn't a problem.

I'm not sure if Microsoft is preparing to do evil, or finally found the much sought after vaccination/cure...
It's microsoft. Of COURSE they're going to do evil. The scorpion is more likely to stop stinging.
...Same as you have to be a jerk (at least temporary) when grading exams, for example.
Actually, jerk is the very last thing you should be when marking exams. "Professional" is the only acceptable behaviour.
Which means that if the submitted work is of F quality then the only acceptable mark is F. Jerkiness doesn't ever come into it.

...Who is he to tell this person what "we do" or we do not do...
The person who OWNS Linux (and the "we" is the group of people permitted to contribute code).
...Who the hell does Torvalds think he is, dishing out orders like a tyrant dictator?...
The person who OWNS Linux (ie the person who dictates what is or is not acceptable code).
Do *you* own a government?
Well... yes. A share in one, but yes.
Not there yet, I've just started migrating.

So, how did they break the TOS just by doing something that is actually already allowed?
The TOS allows playing in an emulated windows evironment.
But... Wine Is Not An Emulator.
And that's enough until they think of a better reason.
...The most I did in math though was to solve a problem on the board.
Which is an example of public speaking.
...The difference being, with a live audience, the jokes have to actually be funny to someone.
The one about the spherical chickens in a vacuum made me laugh (it was the first time I'd heard it).

We're pretty sure, but we need to wait until more datums is available before we officially close the debate.

Well, that settles it: The second form just feels weird and stilted, like a grammar rule from a musty out-of-date dictionary. Debate closed.
Debate still open.
...They can just as easily walk with the other person up to that soda machine and use their chip
Or just the other person's hand...
And soon, too, if it's already at the "extend" stage...
aren't they in the public domain?
No - they were made AFTER Steamboat Willy, and Disney will keep buying legislation to make sure Mickey Mouse NEVER enters the public domain.
Someday when you grow up you'll realize that (some) fans like to financially support creators...
Disney*? Creator of Star Wars?? Or anything???
*"Create" isn't the same as "steal** from the public domain"
**Using something from the public domain isn't stealing, but locking it up so it can't be used any more is.
If I may ask, who does tech support for Windows?
The guy who keeps phoning me from India to tell me I have a windows problem?

Safe for work, unless you work for someone who wants you to cheer.
...They will watch Episode IX since they want to know how the story will end...
...or we could just read about it on imdb.
They'll continue doing what they think is profitable...
FTFY.
you changed the oil not at the dealer...
Changing the oil not at the dealer is not enough to void a warranty*. In some other parts of the world.
*Does, however, have to be changed by a qualified mechanic.

He just used MAFIAA accounting and then divided by 1,000.
