Fushuan [he/him]

Personal wall of bs full of fringe leftist commentary and hate.

Dude can’t hold himself from insulting anyone he names

I didn’t even got to the third paragraph

“”" For context, these are the first three paragraphs of the article. There’s no mention of a single name, it’s basically the introduction. The third paragraph is the statement that they then are supposed to support with facts. This is standard in writing a document:

Some time ago, I noticed some new organization called FUTO popping up here and there. I’m always interested in seeing new organizations that fund open source popping up, and seeing as they claim several notable projects on their roster, I explored their website with interest and gratitude. I was first confused, and then annoyed by what I found. Confused, because their website is littered with bizzare manifestos,1 and ultimately annoyed because they were playing fast and loose with the term “open source”, using it to describe commercial source-available software.

FUTO eventually clarified their stance on “open source”, first through satire and then somewhat more soberly, perpetuating the self-serving myth that “open source” software can privilege one party over anyone else and still be called open source. I mentally categorized them as problematic but hoped that their donations or grants for genuinely open source projects would do more good than the harm done by this nonsense.

By now I’ve learned better. tl;dr: FUTO is not being honest about their “grant program”, they don’t have permission to pass off these logos or project names as endorsements, and they collaborate with and promote mask-off, self-proclaimed fascists. “”"

Did… Did you read something completely different? What the hell? The only thing remotely hateful in the first three paragraphs is them using the word fascists, right in the end, and you dropped the article before giving the author a chance to support their claim? Are you 5?

Sorry, that was maybe too aggressive, but you might not even reach this text if you drop stuff the moment you read a word you dislike lmao.

Thanks for the recommendation, I usually don’t read the articles themselves unless they say something controversial to fact check, but this was a very interesting and through read.

By freely published you mean papers that are published by paying them, right?

They take money for papers to be published, they force researchers to freely peer review, and then they paywall the fuck out of that paper. It’s one of the biggest scams I’ve ever read about, 10 years ago… Thank god computer science, math and physics (basically most STEM) have arXiv…

Technically yes but I’d prefer for it not being done by this administration. As an outsider with national ID, they managed before, I prefer if they waited dunno, 4 years before implementing it? Random number.

Better never meant good. It means less bad.

They specifically asked not to comment on the PR, comments on the PR don’t give the issue any extra visibility. They didn’t ask not to comment here or to stop making threads, they linked a PR and then asked not dogpile that specific PR.

What does that have to do with the fact that a pill being ingested has no direct relation with the place it has an effect on? That’s the point I was trying to imply, thus countering the point OP was making.

If we don’t know how those processes work but we know the effect they cause, how can you so confidently say that the hair growth thing is BS? Knowing how it works is besides the point, if we know the effect it causes and it being ingested, how can you call bullshit to another thing having an effect in a different part of our body than where it’s introduced?

I didn’t prove your point and I’m sorry to learn you think I did.

I meaaan, Paracetamol goes through the same process and it lowers headaches.

Actually no. “At least we are not Nazis anymore” isnt worth shit. Germany owned their past pretty well if you ask me, much better than the US with the confederacy or native Americans. They deserve to complain about their leadership in peace.

Wasn’t this govt pretty big on anti immigration? It feels weird that they are putting money on neighbouring countries. Like, making neighbouring countries better is actually a great way to combat immigration, but anti-immigrant politicians usually are fuelled by hate, not logic, so it’s surprising.

Banning social media for minors isn’t a new thing they are pushing. At all.

Why are you talking about the internet as a whole when the context is apps on the play store, a (extremely poorly but yet) curated subset?

No one is talking about banning X as a whole. Well, you, since you misunderstood apparently.

No. X is an app that’s a sizable on google Play. If they are banning dokindoki, why not ban X, which has far worse shit?

That’s what they meant. is the one doing the banning, so it makes sense to criticise it even if they are not the owners of X. Reading comprehension.

You do realize many people don’t generally read every comment in detail

That sounds like a them problem. Really. If they can’t read a comment that freaking short before jumping ship then don’t interact with it at all.

By the way you react to people, I can tell you have trouble with both of those.

It’s a different user. I’m a third different user. Maybe read the whole thing before criticizing so strongly??

It’s not really that they get the clear texts, but that they get access to who you talk to, when, and kinda how long are your messages. That metadata is super valuable. Over long periods, just with that metadata there’s a lot that can be inferred.

Dunno where you live but even old genZ would remember that.

Nah man, it’s ICE. We don’t need to link it to Germany anymore. Maybe the KKK if you want but MAGA and ICE have become prominent enough that there’s no need to link them to Nazis. If Trump came before Hitler, they would call Nazis MAGA.

If they are at that level of critical thinking they would not have survived Linux anyway so, idc.

I’m a data engineer, ofc I know that. But you were excusing it as if their service has costs. That’s bs, because their reported earnings that done without whatever profit they are going to gain from this harvest of train data already were very profitable.

That’s why I said you were in the wrong. Not because you expected them to sell everything they could, so did I, but because you justified that behaviour from the free to play model. That model exists in plenty games that are extremely successful without harvesting things beyond metadata.
