Always funny how the people in power want to preach that the war is over.

Democrats voted against Bernie twice, but I get what you're saying.

That's a lie.

It's the disparity in wealth and rigged system that's inspiring people towards violence.

Socially liberal ✅

Fiscally conservative ✅

When the service gets its data leaked in a breach, your phone number is now visible to the public.

But then they won't have something to talk about to make them seem interesting!

in which case it simply doesn’t have the infrastructure to host a huge band.

What infrastructure? Amps? That's a non-issue.

I completely agree with you.

The whole atmosphere surrounding live shows is toxic as fuck. There are literally millions of useful idiots eager to get ripped off so they can fit in with each other.

It's a force that logic can't fight back against. We live in a world of morons, and seeing them get taken advantage of in this way is something we should just get used to.

I'm not holding my breath expecting things to change. My generation certainly wasn't the one to fix these problems.

Did they really try?

Seems like a popular group such as pearl jam could get away with selling tickets without this company.

Stop giving them money?

Seriously. Selling tickets doesn't have to be a million-dollar affair.

Odds are the venues that you're going to suck and exist to take advantage of people's low standards and excess wealth.

Piracy

Did they shut down due to a lack of business, or was it the government stepping in and imposing its mandate that everyone else has to follow no matter what?

If it's the former, good. If it's the latter, then it's very bad.

Canada would have a leg to stand on here if it didn't rely on the US military.

They choose to spend nothing on their military because they know the US will back them up if the need arises.

I fucking hate corporate use of emojis.

Just feels like some businesspeople were convinced it drives up "engagement", so that's what their underlings to do.

It makes me sick. I support any and all efforts to remove these ideas and the people who perpetuate them from the free software space.

Sorry you hate it. Thanks for being honest.

I avoid all of those kinds of devices because the price in no way reflects the mediocre hardware that we'll be getting.

When we can get 4070 Lenovo laptops at Walmart for $1,000, it just doesn't make sense to be spending a comparable price on something without a fucking GPU.

We're lining the pockets of businessmen at that point. And don't be fooled: it's all business at the end of the day.

I agree with you.

Everyone who is saying that windows isn't profitable or no longer an important part of microsoft's business strategy is just a parrot succumbing to the snowball effect.

I'd wager they have enough resources to stave it off for as long as possible, and when they can't do that anymore they will have a strategy for making money off of their "services" in the linux space.

Microsoft is part of the cabal at this point. Businesses give it money because they're expected to.

Who is the guy and how did he get that position?

I'm guessing he's just a businessman that was hired based on connections or "credentials"? Does he have any connection with the free software space at all?

We need to keep scumbags like that as far away from the ecosystem as possible. They are leeches and will take advantage of our ignorance if we let them.

I have practically no respect for the gnome project at this point, so it wouldn't surprise me if this guy was brought in because the gnome foundation wants to emulate proprietary software companies.

Looking at his list of contributions, he didn't do much but probably sucked up a fat paycheck.

That makes a lot of sense.

I personally don't like any kind of big moves in the free software space at this point. Anything that stands the test of time does so because it has the community backing it.

Whenever we put our faith into a company to do the work for us, it always ends up being really expensive and mediocre.

Don't be fooled into thinking the rules of business stop applying when dealing with a Linux company. These people still care about profit above all else and will never do anything that would get in the way of maximizing it.

There's a point where we have too many options and the space becomes too fragmented and inconsistent because everyone is doing their own thing instead of improving what others made.

I don't think we reached that with DEs, but if they don't maintain this one then it's kind of going to just be a waste of time and resources that could've been spent improving a different one.

Time will tell. DEs are massive undertakings and they have a lot of catch up to do.
