That's why it's important to use hard copyleft licenses like the GPLv3 instead of merely open-source MIT or BSD licenses wherever possible when you publish software.

rant:

I have been using Linux since 2006, a lefty and against the super-rich and big corporations since I remember (to the point of avoiding their products like the plague), also never having understood or accepted gender roles and other stupid traditional concepts, yet never turned into a communist 🤷

It baffles me that so many people think that respecting gender equality, understanding the evil in big corporations and avoiding them, valuing community and being tolerant (except for intolerance) and against discrimination somehow equals communism... I say this because I've been called a communist by many people who know me, while I have always rejected it explicitly!

Well, libertarian doesn't necessarily mean someone in line with the Libertarian Party of the US. If we want to consider the meanings of these terms by referring to how they are understood to in the US, we would be all very confused, since everything in the US seems to have a twisted meaning.

See for example, their Fascist party is called the "Republican Party"... Their Right-center oriented party is often referred to as a "left-leaning" party... and finally there's another right-wing party with slightly different positions than the fascist party, calling themselves the "Libertarian Party", because why not! 🤷

Religion is their drug, which is way stronger than conventional drugs.

Will never forget 💔

Use profiles, as @igorlogius said.

If you want different shortcuts, use the following command in your .desktop file (assuming you use Linux):
firefox -no-remote -P

for example, assuming you named your music profile music, you put the following line in a firefox-music.desktop file you'll create in ~/.local/share/applications/:

Exec=firefox -no-remote -P music (in addition to other common .desktop file fields)

If your firefox executable is not located in your $PATH (for example if you downloaded it directly from Mozilla), then you need to put the path too. for example:
Exec=~/apps/firefox/firefox -no-remote -P music

Edit:

here's a full .desktop file example for a profile named "work":
file path and name: /home/confusedllama/.local/share/applications/firefox-work.desktop

Content:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox for work
GenericName=Web Browser
Exec=/home/confusedllama/apps/firefox/firefox -no-remote -P work
Icon=/home/confusedllama/apps/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;text/mml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
StartupNotify=true
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
Name[en_US]=Firefox for work
Actions=new-window;new-private-window;

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=/home/confusedllama/apps/firefox/firefox -no-remote -P work -new-window

[Desktop Action new-private-window]
Name=Open a New Private Window
Exec=/home/confusedllama/apps/firefox/firefox -no-remote -P work -private-window

This example will give you "Open a new window" and "Open a private window" options too, when you right click on the shortcut. Also as you can see, you can even set a different icon for each shortcut.

wow too, much video

I hope they will fork MuseScore too. I really don't like the direction in which that company is going...

Corporate Coprophilia

"Business defecation"

Muslims aren’t the ones banning abortion and targeting gay people with oppressive laws in my country.

As someone who was born and currently lives under an Islamic dictatorship that has totally ruined my life, let me tell you that they will, once they are confident that they have control (or, in some cases, even as soon as they achieve a local majority.).

Relevant article from the Guardian:
‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags

Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015 but a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property has soured relations

You cannot find a single Islam-ruled country where women's rights are respected, let alone Gay rights and trans rights.

Iraq bans the word "homosexual" on all media platforms and offers an alternative
Malaysia bans Swatch watches celebrating LGBTQ rights
Iran doubles down on abortion and contraception restrictions

Also, you might remember the things that happened in Qatar during the 2022 World Cup...

There are endless examples. These are just very recent.

Islam in the government will be as right-wing as Christianity in the government. I can't understand for the life of me, why the fellow progressives/leftists in the west seem to support Islam this much. Maybe it's a position of spite against far right Christians, but please know that Islam is not our friend either. Islam is a right-wing, oppressive, fascistic religion, and will burn any hardly achieved right for anyone non-male, non-straight, non-Muslim.

It is not bigotry to try to keep something seriously threatening our equality and rights away from the government.

P.s. I'm sorry if this post reads a bit angry, and I admit I am a bit frustrated of all this shit. Also, all this does in no way mean that I hate Muslim people and support abusing and discriminating against them in the society.

Oh that's great. You're lucky to have such kind and understanding family members and friends! :)
Also, thanks for the explanation. I totally didn't get what you meant at first.

No. It's the same longkitten whose top and bottom are different colors. This is used to demonstrate the Shcrödinger's Tube experiment: When a kitten passes an end of a tube, it can be of any color.
And since the color is chosen at random at the moment of passing the end, the kitten can be seen as two different colors at the different ends, if the kitten is long enough. In this case, this longkitten perfectly shows this effect.

You post this and yet you fail to understand the science smh.

What do you mean?!

Thanks! Your explanation helped a lot!

Xitter -pronounced "shitter".

I use FreeTube, which is opensource and allows you to subscribe to channels without an account. The awesome thing is that you can categorize channels under different "profiles".

However, I think it won't take too long for Google to paywall YouTube APIs and do what it can to prevent web scraping (through disabling login-less use or attempts such as the one linked in this thread.). So our best option would be to ask our favorite Youtubers to move (or duplicate) their videos to other platforms such a peertube, and start using those platforms ourselves.

That is the only solution to all this!

To everyone: Please remove at least as much Google products/services as you can from your life. Start with the easiest ones. Have a plan and gradually find alternatives for all other products/services of them. Remove them from your life. It will help even if you do this partly. This is for the benefit of us all.

Also, let's do the same to Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Reddit etc. Let's not let our lives depend on them. They are corporations. They are programmed to maximize profit.

I know there's currently not a lot of good alternatives out there, but if enough of us ditch these ass-companies, more and more open-source, decentralized, not-for-benefit services will pop up, and the existing ones will improve greatly. These are not for-profit projects that can be bought by corporations later and used to their benefit. They will only benefit their users.

Let's do this!

Fuck megacorporations!

Not really fond of things made by genocide-friendly ass-people.
So Kbin.

I like the kbinness of it, but I can't wrap my head around its real shape! It's really confusing.
