Fair point.

But recently I encountered several people with the opinion that ads don’t ever work on them. And while not all ads work well and some people are more susceptible to them than others, I think very few people if any can claim ads don’t work on them at all.

And then there is the whole 'we got all their products for free for review purposes. But it totally did not affect our review score. Even though they will stop sending us free shit ahead of release if we give them a bad review. Pinky promise

Same. Posted banksys message for anyone who is curious.

On the train and bus to work mostly.

You’ll get an alibi receipt for your alibi receipt btw

It actually works on smart people too.

Funny thing is, it still works.

The advantage of listening to non ad friendly music.

That’s the cuddle dog. The attack dog is over there.

I’d say it’s more likely Tucker Carlson was created and send to the world by demonic forces.

I mean, what else to spend spare money on besides the things I enjoy. Like other people spend thousands travel. I spend the same amount on a box of Warhammer. Jk. I can’t afford Warhammer.

Did it? We’re still here.

Right? For me the free as in freedom always had the upside and downside of people have the freedom to use it how they want. Within the very lenient license which might be in use of course. This can include the freedom to do things with the software which the creators and contributors might not agree with or like.

But in the end a certain trust in humanity and the concept of freedom itself mean that we believe the net sum of making your software free will be positive for everyone. And to this day I haven’t managed to become enough of a cynic to change my mind on this.

Its possible to dicuss licenses which helps prevent certain abuse cases. In fact those already exist. However people talk like this is the main issue of FOSS which I don’t think it is at all.

From all the grease.

And it’s the same reason as the one alluded to in the title.

The sub is very positive and has a very high uovote rate. My guess is good for karma farming.

Perfectly tuned is not the right environment for creativity.

If Blizzard owned something comparable to Steam they could have become too big to be bought by Activision.

The absolute absurdity of work without pay becomes blatantly obvious when you reverse the situation.

Imagine you going to your boss and asking them if they could pay you for 10 hours of work even though you only worked 8 today.

It’d be considered ridiculous. But it’s the same thing.

In a employment relationship you got a contract stating the conditions in which you trade your time and skilled labor for money and benefits.

Neither side should feel entitled to free handouts on top.

It doesn’t actually matter. A addiction will ruin lives if unchecked. No matter if physical or psychological. It’s all about definitions at that point too.

Where does physical end and where does psychological start.

It’s not a matter of one is worse than the other.
