ThFair enough most are free as in free beer and free as in freedom. But that is also the reason why open source is so badly funded. I donate but that is nowhere near enough. I am not Valve, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc… Do not have the funds to hire devs.

Maybe, than again Red Hat was bought for an astronomical some by IBM so they were doing something right. Ubuntu still looks like it is doing well. I do not know how Suse is doing but they still exist.

So I think commercial foss is not a failure but probably difficult to maintain.

Yeah I can imagine most people would look at you as a degenerate (which you aren’t) if you were to talk about it in person.

Yes sorry I meant trademark. It is just visual such as graphics in games that are copyrighted. That is why you still need to buy Doom eventhough the code was open sourced in the 90’s.

RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) would be an example. I am sure there are more but I am not well versed enough. There is also Ardour but I think that is more if you want a binary and build the software from source.

Not financially free but free as in freedom. Although most foss does not need to be bought, but there are foss programs you have to buy and after you bought it you are free to do with it what you want. Although this depends on the licence and copyright. For example you can fork the code and resell it (under certain licences) but due to copyright you can not use certain things such as graphics, fonts and name (depending on their licence).

Never heard of but will look it up for research purposes.

I would say I went from pretty right wing to center left. My current stance is more or less you should be able to earn millions (not billions that is just insane, no single person should have that kind of power) but everyone should have the same opportunities and rights.

Yeah, with science it is a similar situation because especially scientific literature gets so complex that most people do not understand it or get bored reading it and just like with politics lived experience can be very different from what scientist are telling you.

So it is a matter of having partners you trust and enjoy being around. Still can’t see myself ever doing it but thanks for explaining why it works for some people.

Okay, I have only ever been with one partner and always felt way out of my depth soo I can’t really imagine to stress of having to pleasure or getting pleasure of multiple partners.

The honest awnser is I do not know. It kinda just happened. One day I just caught myself watching youtubers and reading things that before I would just shun for being too woke (this was before the term became popular back when feminist were the big boogyman) for a lack of a better term.

Maybe it was just a matter of growing up because the depression and loneliness (apparently I am also autistic but I kinda doubt the diagnosis) went away much later.

Always wondered if men, women, trans (whoever you you want) actually enjoyed doing it, looks like it is more like work than actually enjoying the experience.

Not Greco Roman wrestling?

Fair enough, quibbeling about phrasing also works in their favour.

It just comes out of a place of worry with the increasing divide between men and women.

I fully agree with you that you need to call out bullshit whenever you see it. My phrase was just hyperbole to emphasise my explenation, not a direct comparison to straight women assualting lgbtq women.

But as someone that got close to falling into the whole early manosphere stuff. My personal experience is that these grifters thrive in the “broken clock is right twice a day” situations because it gives them an air legitimacy.

So although I agree with you in general I do think the way you bring a message can have effects. (Sorry if my way of writing isn’t fully clear English is not my native language).

I remember a lot of them because most were on Fox Kids in the Netherlands but I didn’t have Cartoon Network so I missed some of those shows.

I also remember watching Walking With Dinosaurs as a kid. Than you also had the two Superman shows: Superman The Animated Series and Lois & Clark: The new adventures of Superman.

And as a kid I really enjoyed Star Trek Voyager.

If I am not severly mistaken from reading all of this. The point he was trying to make is a phrase like “All men commit sexual assault.” Which can quite easily be disproven will give ammunition to the vile men like Andrew Tate to draw in young men that feel like they are being labeled as a criminal.

Maybe a little skooma could alleviate the pain.
