That sucks, and I'm sorry you had that experience. To provide a viewpoint for your short-circuit, the FOSS software is a tool, yes, but the FOSS movement is politics and philosophy. To them (us, but I like to hope I'm less of a dink) software made unethically is similar to advocating for socialism or unions as a means of empowering the people against forces that would oppress them. For some people, using proprietary software might be like using products made by slave labour.
Some people who are more puritanical than myself might refuse to use anything that they can't use freely, the equivalent of you obstaining from using a laptop at all if Linux doesn't work for you. I think most people, myself included, would consider that extreme, but I bet you've heard from those extremists.
None of this is meant to excuse the people who've been crap to you, you should do whatever you need to. I'm just trying to explain why people get so worked up about it compared to a screwdriver. Or a hammer, say. A hammer and a sickle, even...

Too true, too true...
Here's what I will say: I hope before it dies that it gets archived well. There is a lot of cool shit we all put there before it became poop. Internet history, forum answers, AMAs with cool people, etc. A lot of my search results still hit something from Reddit 6 years so or something.
So I hope that gets saved when the company burns to the ground...
I love Outer Wilds, but when they said "one where you're not just dumped in and have to figure everything out for yourself", it sounded like they were excluding us in particular 😛
You can't hear hyphens
Oh I see, so you hate Free Software! Fucking typical, unsubscribed, and I will not be returning. 😛
The "clever" part is describing the effects of capitalism, that a business owner profits off the value of the workers' labour without working themselves, but re-encodes it to instead be about how the workers' hard work and wages are being taken and "redistributed" to someone who didn't earn them.
This "the lazy person gets your hard work" framing is one of the most popular ways Americans are scared away from socialism or communism, so by turning the situation upside down here it's attaching the same framing to capitalism instead. And then arguing for a united workforce to protect "capitalism" from the dangers of "communism"
First they came to put tits on me, and I said hell yeah, because tits are dope

I don't want to be a dink but, like, the photo is right there! And in that photo is an animal without tusks. So why did the cartoonist draw a walrus? Walrus aren't sea lions.
ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.
In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?
The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.
How about this one?
The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?
Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.
My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?
This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?
Thanks very much for any help you have!
Hello folks! I have these switches in my bathroom.
The rightmost is the lights, and the middle one is the bathroom fan, and I'd like to replace that middle one with something I could load tasmota on (or some other open source firmware), without replacing the other switch, the sockets, or the faceplate.
I haven't seen any smart switches that have a form factor that would fit through this faceplate, though; they seem to mostly want to be the entire electrical box.
If it weren't for the electrical plugs I could maybe replace this with some kind of 2-gang thing, which isn't really what I want but could be fine, but as it stands I'm not sure what my options here are.
I don't need the new switch to necessarily look like the old one, I just want it to fit in the same box and use the same faceplate. Do you folks have any recommendations?

I mean... I don't love Tobi or Shopify, but this is a bit disingenuous.
Yeah, Shopify Pay offers an installment paying option, and yes those suck. But you can be a Shopify merchant without using that feature, and that feature didn't exist for most of the company's lifetime.
It's shitty, yes, but if that feature went away Shopify would still exist and Tobi would still be a billionaire, it's not, like, where the money comes from.
