Unless you cause harm to others (like accidentally starting the next pandemic), how could you ever punish someone for treating themselves? 🤣

We don’t, as far as I know, make cutting your own arm off illegal and I fail to see how this is different.

PS: I’m not arguing against you, just noodling philosophically.

Fuck

I don’t know how, but I would still manage to lose this day one.

I’m an older generation and (generally) refrain from swearing myself, but seeing censored posts on Lemmy drives me fucking insane. This isn’t a preschool nor is it an advertiser-friendly place. We should keep it that way.

If you’re suggesting something like cryptocurrency or a return to the gold standard, I challenge you to explain how that would help in this situation.

But you couldn’t release your own projects based on this under pure MIT or Apache-2.0. Presumably you’d need to include the same restriction about selling on Atlassian’s marketplace.

Gifs that end too soon.

Absolutely. GOG has a much better license and distribution model, but it’s still a license.

That’s not true. You still only receive a license to play the game, you do not own it. Directly from GOG’s website:

We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a ‘license’) to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this license in some situations, which are explained later on.

Practically this means you cannot resell your GOG installer in the way you could resell a physical book.

Damn you meme, making me learn a new word.

There’s a loud subculture of furries who insist sex is shameful and something to apologize for.

Split meaning equal shares, or split as in each person pays for what they ordered?

Canadian checking in.

Biggest oddity to me is that the default for restaurants is one bill, and waiters get annoyed if you ask them to split it by person.

Like why would I want to either:

• do math correctly splitting the bill while trying to leave; or
• be worried I ordered something more expensive than the average and unfairly make others cover it?

It’s complete insanity to me.

Two questions: are you still on Gentoo, and have you tried LFS?

I will never not be jealous of the pure joy a cat must feel stretching.

I’m going to need to see a reenactment or video before I believe this.

Which book?

“No, in fact Tolkien said the exact opposite. Jews are based on dwarves.”

See how that works when you don’t actually provide a source? To be honest, I have no idea if Tolkien based the races of Middle Earth on human peoples, and would’ve liked to learn if he did. But instead of actually teaching me something, I’m left here with intellectual blue balls, so thank you for a wonderful start to Locktober.

Time to swap it out for an unlabeled one I guess 🤷

Finally, it’s Gentoo’s time to shine!
