Georgia has more counties than any other state*. We're fuckin' overflowing with counties 'round here!

(* Edit: except Texas, which I forgot about, but which doesn't count because having a lot of counties makes sense for a huge state)

One man's "battery drain" is another man's "built-in UPS."

My text editor doesn't access shit on my drive (unless I ask it to) because it's Free Software and my Linux distro package maintainers audit it to make sure it doesn't contain malware like that.

You're praising a pathological solution to a problem that shouldn't exist to begin with.

What do you mean, "most?" Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.

Dark mode just doesn’t make sense for professionals.

What, you don't skateboard down the hallway to the server room?

The authorities say their goal is not to eliminate Uyghurs but to integrate them

They’re actually doing the false balance thing.

When even the "false balance thing" includes relaying an admission of cultural genocide, you know the reality is really fucking bad.

If I understand correctly, hexbear is where the refugees ended up after Reddit banned r/ChapoTrapHouse.

Only the latter definition is valid!

You can still view the source code. That’s what open source is.

No, it's not. It only counts if it provides the four freedoms listed here:

  • The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
  • The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  • The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
  • The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

And before you say "but that's the definition of 'Free Software', not 'Open Source'," even the latter, misguided as it is, at least still requires freedom 0!
