The best situation for consumers is for games to come out on as many platforms as possible. Exclusives are cancer. It’s awesome to see less and less of them every generation.

It’s a pretty solid response to people fishing for compliments.

Fuck yeah!

List of every hostage released and their story.

The agreement went through and the hostages have been freed.

I’m happy someone else came back to this. I’m amazed at how many votes the OP got here while literally just making shit up.

Are people really this blinded to just…basic facts?

The agreement went through and the hostages have been freed.

The power train (and other vital components) of a car should be air-gapped from the internet. It’s crazy car manufacturers are even able to brick a car like this.

Is your car going to get security updates 5-10-20 years from now? No. The power train should be air-gapped from the internet.

I’m talking about your average Joe in the middle that doesn’t really follow politics but was mad at things getting more expensive over Biden’s term.

Ah, yes, there are also the terminally dumb and uneducated.

This is the response to people being unhappy prices sharply increased under Biden? People are hardly ‘dumb and uneducated’ for not liking price increases…

A statement that will always remain relevant: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

The constant purity tests is a major part of what got us Trump. People don’t like that shit and additionally destroys coalitions. It’s enlightening to see a huge portion of the community is keeping up the purity tests.

Have you…never had a job?

Yep. And if customers are getting pissed due to charitable donations we are doing…that incurs a significant cost and becomes a massive hurdle for any future charitable donations.

So, as I said, lesson learned: don’t support open source projects.

Edit: Next meeting about supporting open source project: “Hey this author has opinion x, anti-x is going to hate that. Let’s just spend the money elsewhere.”

Following meeting about supporting a different open source project: “Hey, this author has opinion anti-x, x is going to hate that. Let’s just spend the money elsewhere.”

Framework appears to intend to support bad people.

Framework intends to support open source projects. That has been their goal. Ascribing a different intent to it is just factually incorrect at best.

Lesson learned: don’t support open source projects. One apparently has to get legal, pr, and a whole investigation (on an ongoing basis!) for every project. Better and cheaper to just not.

At some point you’re going to end up with hardware that needs a different motherboard and then you might as well just replace the whole thing. There really isn’t anything that can be done about that.

You can just buy a newer, better mainboard on their website and slot it into your existing laptop. No need to change out everything. I fucking love them for that.

Wow framework sells a lot of computers to real fascist psychos

A computer company doesn’t do a political evaluation of each of their customers. When was the last time you had to submit your political beliefs in order to buy a computer from…anywhere?

I think the rest of your response feels wrong in a fundamental way but I haven’t thought through why yet.

Either that or a pair of opinions you hold conflict with each-other.

Internal consistency is highly valued. As long as all opinions are treated with the same standards, then you have a nice steady base for your views and how you interact with the world.

don’t the tankies not believe in those allegations? Isn’t that their whole thing, that western media is lying about it? Ie delusional like I said.

Of course they don’t believe the piles of evidence. The point is they support the genocide either way. If we are changing the standard to purely what delusional people believe, not what they actually support, then there is a ton of people on the right we should stop bitching about, as they don’t believe their policies are harmful either…

So, back to the original question, are you going to use a software written, or just partly written, by tankies? Or is it possible that one can use a software written by people who have differing political opinions from you?

the destruction of the Ukrainians as a people and culture

This is a huge part of Putin’s current war; a war tankies widely support. You need sources for these things?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_genocide_of_Ukrainians_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War

Tankies widely support the destruction of the Ukrainians as a people and culture. One of the definitions of genocide. Are you going to stop using every software written, or partly written, by a tankie?

If you force every person to pick a team, you may not like the result. gestures at current president

People who are happy to not take a political stance on everything, particularly in their professional life, is good.
