You’re laboring under the common misconception that enticing windows and macos users is the objective. It’s not.

For anyone involved in any FOSS project (linux or otherwise), your objective is to make your project the best it can be. In this context the endless variety of distributions and their philosophies is a great strength.

Not necessarily.

Female teachers are resigning over this.

This might be a kind of unpopular opinion but in a way I’m glad that schools are going to have to confront this issue. They’re very well placed to do so.

While teachers being abused obviously have my sympathies, the school system can’t ignore this problem and then act shocked when this behavior appears in schools.

• training for all teachers on how to manage this behavior and this trajectory for kids
• social media literacy should be part of the curriculum for kids in all years
• awareness programs and training for parents
• exposure to more appropriate role models who can help young boys understand how to interact with women
• advocating for regulation of social media - it’s just bullshit that youtube et al gives this bullshit a platform

Gimp refers to sexual exploitation. Often the “exploited” is a willing participant but often not. Regardless it’s “funny” the way a 12 year old finds drawing dicks on things funny.

Libreoffice only tells geeks exactly what the product is. My team, who uses Libreoffice, couldn’t explain what Libre means, and no one can pronounce it.

Being quick and catchy is a pretty low bar. No one knows or cares about the story behind Lemmy. It sounds silly in conversation.

Just want to acknowledge that she’s put a heap of effort into that body and if I was lucky enough for her to want to snap me in half then old mate can call me fast if he wants.

Opensource projects often have terrible names.

Gimp, libreoffice, lemmy, Apache… just the ones that come to mind.

Yeah but why would it be on the front pages?

Thats what i said?

LOL even just the first picture by itself… there’s only 1 reason it would be of any interest.

It wasn’t speech to text but obviously no, I didn’t check.

Their employees and partners probably WorldCom found out about it but it wouldn’t have become the eternal meme it is now.

It was kinda implied though right?

I think that depends on the fiction between each item / cell, and the plane.

I think soap bubbles for example will always form hexagons.

Yeah this is how I feel.

I get that the world is moving forward and I might be okd and whatever but I think that a physical photo album is still part of assumed general knowledge in 2025.

These are great, but beware the threads can be super sharp.

How is that relevant?

Haah.

Everyone with half a brain knew that after Brexit Britain would spend the next 50 years trying to cut down on red tape and trade restrictions, effectively re-joining without re-joining.

Yeah.

I’m in Australia, I suspect you might be also, but for reference a few months ago our centre-left party ground our centre-right party into the dust in a landslide election victory.

I suppose I agree that its not all bad news.

However, I’m gravely concerned about the US trajectory and I’m certain it will have an impact here sooner or later.

Right now our PM is trying to negotiate the current tariffs. The US will want us to increase military spending, and reduce investment in science and research. We might resist, but it’s certainly pressure to move in the wrong direction.

I dont think anyone cares about money anymore.

They can see the problems arising from climate change on the horizon and they’re creating a ruling class and a subservient class.

If you’re part of the ruling class you dont need money.

I dont think that’s it.

It’s an overwhelming case of “got mine”.

Like sanders said, being a GOP member just means staying in line.
