You're underselling it. I see the Ukranian poster very politely telling the Russian missile and drone supplier company employee to shut up and handle his grievances through their legal department and see how that works out for them. All while he continues to listen to the daily barrage of missile and drone strikes in his neighborhood and wonder how many of those weapons are running Linux.

Honestly I'm so used to deconstructions of the basic good races vs. evil races dichotomy that when I joined my first long form DnD campaign about a year ago, I ended up having a chat about it with our DM where he had to explain to me that the orcs were intended to be an obviously "we are evil, we are the enemy, you are supposed to fight and kill us" type of enemy. There's been some more nuance since then, but even since we've moved to the next campaign with new characters, mine is once again the "wait, maybe we should listen hear out the chaotic evil demonic minions and find out why they suddenly decided to try and invade our lands" type of character.

How dare you spread misinformation on the Internet? True believers know TempleOS comes packaged with a number of Fun and Unfun games.

After Egypt is a certified parish classic. Child commits adultery to child? Really punish.

What does it take to cross the line of incendiary geopolitics in this thread?

Jesus christ. Not surprised to see yet another dowsing wand being sold for cops, but what kind of a court admits this shit as evidence?

Turns out chuds suddenly love DEI when it's about making the Russian Military Industrial Complex feel safe and included in major open source projects. My heart goes out to the victims of discrimination willingly working for military contractors who now have to submit their Linux kernel patches for review like most people.

They prefer to live in a world where publicly reported facts are owned by corporations, and no one can do anything with those publicly reported facts without paying a toll.

Yea, down with corporate IP trolls, information gatekeepers and idea landlords! Anyway, what was Perplexity's business model again?

Wow, it took until 2024 but politics have finally arrived into software. Having politics is not at all in the spirit of the GPL. Not giving these people a privileged access to the codebase is discrimination obviously. What do you have against apolitical entities like Baikal Electronics?
