Ah, I see. It's moreso like "people from this location put currency symbols after numbers" not specifically dollar signs. Like, we put currency symbols before the numbers in American English eg "Oh, that's $12.00" or "Oh, that's €12.00." A german, writing in dutch, would write "Oh, das sind 12,00 $" or "Oh, das sind 12,00 €." Many more countries do this like Poland, the Netherlands I think, etc. It's pretty common. But like the other user said, in Quebec specifically (because French lol) since they use the canadian dollar and the canadian dollar is $ for them (though, in the US we just use CAD instead, so we'd write CAD 12.00 in america whereas a canadian would write $12.00 in canada for the same currency)

They can't just say "it's puppet" because trademark. So they have to advertise as "alternative to the leading" blah blah to enterprises. This is absolutely targeted at enterprise to buy support, so gotta be legally friendly.

Sure, but people cannot cry about a service disappearing when disappearing resistant technology exists and just needs attention. Like, it's being worked on, either help or get out of the way and quit complaining

Open source is anarchist socialism. This whole platform works because socialism works. The internet is made up of protocols that people aren't required to implement but do because they're good ideas that are well thought out and work and were created without force or threat of violence like threatening the right to sue for damages even. Bad ideas get worked on and fixed. Look at Wayland in Linux, a complete volunteer driven effort that got funding because it was a good idea. No one forced all Linux desktop environments to switch from x11 because a new law got signed, but instead volunteers were like "thank you for fixing x11 in your free time."

But nope, property doesn't exist, guess it's broke!

Can you post pictures of a tank event in the 80s in China without censoring? Can you talk about these protests ?

Daring fireball is a very popular blog. The guy invented markdown. He's a very known Apple apologist. It's not wrong for someone who knows Daring Fireball to assume anything he says positively about Apple or in defense of Apple has potential for his fanboy bias.

I've been satisfied with IRC, that was social enough for me as an autistic kid yes. I've not had the luxury of developing a high standard of social interaction for my daily life.

I understand normal people are not willing to give up those unnecessary things like centralized and profiteered software. I think it's hilarious and laugh at them:) I enjoy the 3 or so friends I text regularly and the people I meet in real life. I understand most people aren't willing to live within those means, but that doesn't make it any less funny.

I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don't mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I'm talking to a right winger who's scared of anarchists and then just say "the socialist kind". It's a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever
