  • You can put a clause in the license saying the software cannot be used for the dissemination of hate speech. The open source community has discussed this and decided it goes against the principles of free software and open source.

    Says who? How can you authoritatively say the open source community has decided something collectively on this subject? That categorically doesn’t make sense on multiple different dimensions.


  • Yup, boomers took the easy way out and drowned themselves in work rather than organize to change the system.

    I know this is a hot take but boomers who don’t even know how to live without working after they have been on this planet for decades are pathetic, second in blame only to the cruel system that diminished them to shadows of their past selves.

    Speaking to boomers here - shut up, turn your TV set to fox news off and take up birding or something else actually real, your work identity is a flimsy illusion of self, you need to actively explore who you are not contract it out to your job you old hateful, childish vampires of humanities’ future.

    …and yes before the inveitable “not all Boomers!”, I know.





















  • It’s harder to prescribe exercise, which takes time and effort and can be difficult to start for people who are depressed.

    This detail is swept under the rug in this article and will most certainly be swept under the rug in discussion about the headline.

    Telling people to exercise as a prescription only works once, after a patient is made aware that exercise would make them less depressed and they fail to undertake it, the advice becomes a convenient way of saying “just try harder” with different words.

    I am not questioning the science here, I am pointing out the consequences of how it is framed.
