What I would say to folks is that they should do whatever they want. If they want to eat a 99% plant based diet, then they should do that.

It’s not gatekeeping to say that you aren’t vegan if you eat bacon, but at the same time, veganism is more about ideology than diet.

Can we change the title to web inventor? I am guilty of using them interchangeably as well, but he did not invent the internet. And I used the internet before the web existed lol.

There was no implication that this was a general poll designed to demonstrate the general public’s attitudes. I’m not sure why you mentioned this.

First of all, I want to be clear that I wasn’t trying to be harsh. But it’s just your entire comment. As soon as you say, “I was looking for a library,” you’ve already indicated that you feel entitled to find a library somewhere rather than build it yourself (or pay someone to do it for you).

Do you not understand how that comes across as entitled? Meaning you feel entitled to access a software library that exists with a license you can exploit. You’ll reject a GPL licensed library because it is copylefted and you know your management would never go for GPLing the entire work.

What I’m saying is that if you’re writing your own software with a private business, why do you expect there to just be some library you can use internally to exploit and not contribute back to the community?

I was just talking about the fact that he didn’t mention politics in that sense.

That’s funny that you accused me of being obtuse and then immediately did so. Do you not understand what the “difficulty” of including GPL libraries means? Re-read their comment.

I’m not talking about an unwillingness to “give” money here. They’re treating a gratis library existing for them to include in the codebase as a foregone conclusion.

What’s funny is that she’s right. He wasn’t political. He was just a normal decent person. He didn’t talk about Republicans (which I believe he himself was) or Democrats. So in that sense, yeah, he wasn’t political.

That’s why you mandate that it not be boilerplate and AI—but you’re right that it could get tricky. As another person said, ultimately we need a federal and state jobs program.

Yep. I am 100% in favor of a federal and state coordinated job placement service. Corporations have demonstrated that they are incapable of properly hiring people.

Another thing that needs to be legally mandated. Not only should it be mandated to discuss pay, responsibilities, culture, etc. during the interview process, it needs to be mandated that you receive a fully human written rejection letter explaining in specific detail why they did not select you.

This is exactly why it should be legally mandated to discuss those things during the interview process.

“Divide the left” lmao sure. Antifa is the CIA’s dream for the left.

It sounds more like you think you are entitled to have access to a library to begin with. Why should one exist that you can exploit in a way that your business wants rather than one that respects freedom—this is where I completely agree with the software freedom folks.

If you work for a private business that is earning profit, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect to pay for a library or build it yourself. Why should something else just exist for your business to exploit?

Yes you can! We desperately need to organize along anti fascist lines without the baggage of the mentally ill maximalist fake left who describe themselves as antifa.

I don’t wanna remember nothing! Lol

Are they really able to replicate pornography like that? I know that for normal stuff, the videos are only under ten seconds or so.

We need to stop the intergenerational fighting and unite against the real enemy: neoliberal capitalism.

I was thinking a bit more medical but yes, along those lines.

That’s just a legally protected minimum. What’s a typical Canadian package like?

Yeah I was gonna say! We Xennials absolutely add the lol too. But I guess “true” Gen Xers don’t?
