You are correct - they have no legal obligation. They do however have a moral obligation. It seems to me that if corporations want to be people when it comes to things like political donations then they should be people when it comes to their moral obligations as well.

I switched my main desktop from Windows to Linux a few months back. I’ve been running KDE, but it just doesn’t feel right. I recently tried IceWM with the Motif theme and it’s much more comfortable. I was a Unix admin in the '90’s and '00’s.

If I can find an audio mixer applet that works (volumeicon does not like my system for some reason…) and figure out how to stop the screen blanking when Firefox is playing a video I think I’ll make the change permanent.

I think the bigger question is how many corporations are supporting foss projects? I’m sure a lot of us contribute a bit here and there if we can and I’m sure it makes a difference - but if some of these corporations, making billions of dollars profit, contribute just a tiny fraction of their wealth it could make a huge difference.

It’s the same argument as recycling, turning off lights, walking instead of driving etc. etc. - yes there are 8 billion of us and if we all do it, it will make a difference, but the difference we make is still not significant compared to corporate greed.

We are being gaslit to accept yet another scenario where we socialize the cost and privatize the profit.

Interesting - mine is syncthing-fork 1.30.0.4. When I go to the App Info page it says “App installed from F-Droid” and when I tap on that button I get a small pop-up that says “No such app found.”

I installed mine from F-Droid. I just went there to turn off updates and it doesn’t exist. I have not been paying attention so it may have been gone for ages and not related?

I use a plastic one - the ones that have a floss “D” on one end and a pick on the other. They’re very thin and can also be bent to form a bit of a hook.

What’s a FP (in this context)??

They’re getting paid by the government, not trump personally - I’m assuming they’ll get paid much more than the job is actually worth, possibly as payment for some previous or future job for trump. There will be some angle to every contact issued for the whole project.

I’m the same as you, but there are a lot of people that pay (monthly fees I believe!) for pre-built “android boxes”.

My previous house had security screens on the windows with screws that I could never find a driver for - it was a few years ago, but I think they were pentalobe with the security nub in the middle. I didn’t look too hard though - it was a good excuse to not wash the windows.

I read yesman’s comment as agreeing with the sentiment in the op, not arguing against it?

Doesn’t autumn start on the equinox? (Honest and confused question from someone who grew up in Australia, where the seasons are determined by months, but now lives in the northern hemisphere.)

I’m not sure - I don’t measure it. It’s in my home server running Linux. It does everything I want and is >90% idle most of the time - so it’s fast enough. And I just realized I lied in my original comment - my laptop has DDR4 RAM, but it’s already at max. capacity so I won’t have to worry about buying more.

Shouldn’t be a problem for me - I plan to skip DDR4 and go straight to DDR5, or maybe what comes after, at some point. Still running 32GB DDR3 here.

It’s messed up that so many people believe it. I belived it! I’m not on speaking terms with my mother any more since I had a conversation with her about his “grab em by the pussy” comments and her willingness to forgive him for that, despite his obvious lack of contrition. I can 100% believe that there are people out there that would forgive him raping their daughter.

In the current political climate, I can’t understand how they got visas to enter the country and then, with appropriate visas, how/why ICE allowed them to cross the border. Of course I understand how it’s possible, it just seems weirdly wrong.

I get this one. Many years ago a former wife tried to convert me. I started going to chruch, bible studies etc. and after a while I realised that none of the people I was with actually believed anything - they were just going through the motions doing the stuff you need to do to stay in the club.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. I have god, not God. I know because I was typing on my phone and it autocorrected to God three times and I had to go back and fix it.

33% have a college degree yet only 3% are atheist. That’s batshit crazy. I can’t imagine having the critical thinking skills needed for a degree and not using those skills to figure out that god is a fairy tale.

Yes I know lots of educated people are religious - I had several christian professors when I was studying mathematics / computer science. That doesn’t make it any less crazy to me.

Denial information is available on the internet, so LLMs have ingested it. Couldn’t the above output have easily been generated with a prompt like “what arguments do holocaust deniers use?”?
