The "free" part is clearly not working. Or rather it is working as is now intended: free labour for the private sector to exploit.

I remember seeing a thread about redis on r/linux where lots and lots of people were basically defending Amazon as if from an anarcho-capitalist position. This confused me as I always saw foss (and foss users) as leaning socialist and anti-corporate.

I spoke to someone about that and they linked me this article (and the article linked in the first sentence) which really opened my eyes.

The TL;Dr is basically:

FOSS is not socialist. The free software movement is right-libertarian / "anarcho"-capitalist, and the open source movement is neoliberal; neither of these is even particularly close to socialism.

I mean, I installed Kate just to do a comparison before posting, I can show you the screenshots if you want. Or just continue believing what you want.

Apparently recognizing and handling fascists.

And if you only ever used it for describing weather, that would be an argument to make. But you use it everywhere, I mean just search for the term "cooking temperature" on Google images and you'll see a bunch of nonsense.

But even using it just for weather, this is still not a good argument, as the perspective of hot and cold is very very subjective, and changes constantly. To me, an outside temperature if 10C feels freezing cold in September, but it's reasonably warm in January. Or an inside temperature of 24C will feel amazingly cold on a 42C July day, but super warm on a -10C December night.

Every time I thought the US was stupid for doing a thing, the rest of the world followed with the same bullshit a few years later. Some sooner, some later. The US is not more stupid, they're trendsetters.

They seem good on paper - every time I look for a phone on gsmarena's phone finder I get a few of their rog phones in the results. But then I look at the price tag and the gamer aesthetic, and I ignore them.

Well if they dislike taxes, they probably hate transaction fees even more.

If you have to say a certain phrase in order to get granted a right, then it's not a right, it's just a spell you have access to.

It was an embedded system. The user wouldn't be able to download and install stuff, they just turn the thing on.

As someone who likes to actually own and customise all my devices, devs like you are the bane of my existence. Read up on software licensing, and pay special attention to the history of its enforcement and what it enabled us. Then please reconsider your user hostile stance.

I've played this game for over a month now, maybe two, and I haven't encountered a single instance of that happening. The next answer is always deducible by logic. I have gotten stuck plenty of times, and a few times I even thought the game was totally and definitely wrong, only for me to realise that I missed something.

If you continue playing, you should know that the games get harder as the week goes on. The weekend ones tend to sometimes take me 15-20 minutes to work out.

Baking soda or baking powder? Because some (most?) baking powders do contain aluminium salts and some people are put off by that. Maybe that carried over to baking soda too.
