the problem here is you guys have a 100%-or-nothing litmus test. if you want software that never changes then expend the effort to learn the libre tool and accept the limitations, rather than the proprietary tool that needs to change every year so a company can sell it again. if you refuse to learn anything and just want instant gratification, that's fine but then you don't get sympathy when the company changes the software or jacks the price up. it isn't just foss people with a bad attitude. for 24 years i hear people complaining about microsoft windows changing everything around. i've been using the same linux desktop since 1999 because i took a day to customize blackbox/openbox to exactly what i like.

"US approves $23bn sale of F-16 war planes to Turkey"

"The sale follows Turkey’s decision to ratify Sweden’s NATO membership"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/27/us-approves-23bn-sale-of-f-16-war-planes-to-turkey

"Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan initially objected to Sweden’s Nato bid over Stockholm’s perceived acceptance of Kurdish groups that Ankara views as “terrorist” organisations. Sweden responded by tightening its anti-terrorism legislation and taking other security steps demanded by Erdogan."

This is all deeply flawed.

i cant believe the fucking reddit clone lemmy is fingering my user for every install thats so fucking funny

WW3 is well underway. It began around 2021 or even 2020 depending on how you account it.

In Open Source, anyone who gets "big" enough to matter either gets onboard with corporate policy, or gets cancelled.

Look at RMS, ESR, the grandfathers of FOSS. All the ones who didn't take the corporate job got a hit put on them at some point.

Brendan Eich is a great example. He becomes CEO of Mozilla and popular-at-the-time dating website okcupid BLOCKS ALL FIREFOX USERS until he's ousted.

Think that was because he gave $1000 to anti gay marriage a million years ago? Yeah right. It's because he's not owned.

Now look at Mozilla, their browser market share has fallen deep into the single-digit zone. The company is entirely rudderless & their biggest source of revenue is donations from Big G.

If their objective was to get everyone on Chrome, they've definitely succeeded at that.

Meanwhile Eich went on to start his own browser from scratch, and it's still not on the charts - but its userbase has doubled for 5 years in a row, tapping 50mn.

Firefox could have beaten chrome, but it was killed.

@MK2boogaloo Haven't beat half life 2, tried playing it twice and got tired of running down flood canals.
