The woke, far-left, Drew DeVault-aligned, anti-Stallman faction of the FOSS movement clearly has no idea what they are talking about.

Imagine being so far to the left that you think that Richard Stallman, someone who has openly supported free healthcare, taxing the rich, expanding the welfare state, and even a universal basic income, is somehow a far-right libertarian who supports bombing children (which he wouldn't if he was a libertarian btw).

These people are so far gone, that they think that because Richard Stallman keeps the FOSS movement politically neutral outside of challenging our current copyright laws, then that makes him "far-right".

The only reason why FOSS allows people to exploit others (outside of making it proprietary in the case of copyleft software) including committing war-crimes is that most other things created for practical use allow you to do that too. But when it comes to software, suddenly people feel the need to create contracts dictating what you can or can't do with said software. That's why we have EULAs when it comes to proprietary software, and free software does the opposite by giving us freedom 0.

Finally, you can never prevent the government, including the military from using your code. The government does what it wants and will break any license and get away with it. If the DPRK can violate the GPL and create a proprietary fork of Ubuntu, then the US military (or any other military for that matter) can use your code to bomb children.

Good. Log off forever. I do not want to see anymore of this type of bullshit.

Supposedly, itch.io is looking for alternate payment processors.

For the love of God, just use crypto. You guys used to accept Bitcoin. Who the fuck cares if you get backlash from the anti-crypto crowd? They'll get over it. Some of them even use it when e-begging via the MutualAid hashtag on here.

The final boss now drops bombs. I felt like it was kind of necessary as the boss is piss easy if you have all your stats maxed. I also increased it's HP slightly.

Many are blaming "Linux" users on tthe Duckstation debacle but you have to remember that 99% of emulator developers are as unstable as a woman in her period. They will crash out and burn their entire work if their ego is not stroke and they hate having to engage with their users.

A lot of economic reports are coming out this week and it's not looking good.

July printing just 73K, far below the 104K estimate. May was revised down by 125,000, from +144,000 to +19,000, June was revised down by 133,000, from +147,000 to +14,000.

Jobs Shocker: July Payrolls Far Below Estimates, Follow Massive Revisions Lower

Really shows the president doesn't matter. The Éminence grise behind all the recent administrations wants the economy to burn.

Only someone like me would be crazy enough to drive across state lines just to visit a library and work on projects.

Another thing I'd like to see abolished are property taxes designated to go to county/city school districts, when you have zero children.
