Usually it’s rolled into the price of the product or service, which clearly nobody has a problem with.

I see them acting rudely to restaurant staff and grocery store staff often.

I agree with you completely but at the same time I have disdain for gig workers because they all seem to operate under an entirely different set of traffic laws and social conventions. At least where I live.

I will sooner implant a bullet before this proprietary bullshit

I don’t get it, can you explain please?

I have read this braindead take a thousand times at least. There is no country on Earth without random violence.

I live a country where metal can be sharpened and I assume you do too

I’m not trying to get stabbed in the neck. You should consider this risk too.

Ahoy

Lot of talk about Mozilla, but what about Firefox? I’m not using the CEO as my web browser.

Also my first thought

Why?

Spread misinformation rampantly to lower the average IQ, thus making you smarter by comparison.

Third choice: Delete your account and never look back.

I always dissuade anyone from buying Intel for any purpose. A backdoored CPU undermines your security and privacy to an unacceptable degree.

Just curious, why a 5?

If you don’t believe me, there isn’t really anything I can do to change your mind. It doesn’t matter to me either way, but no I don’t go on stackoverflow because it’s toxic and unhelpful. I go on forums or IRC if I want to discuss the development of a library.

Honestly, I am pretty used to the “you can’t do things your way, you have to do them our way or it wont work” shit because practically every neurotypical thinks this way. All I’m saying is there’s a reason I’m faster than my peers. I don’t know how much of that is due to my avoidance of “crutches” but I’m certain it’s nonzero.

Isn’t this why we use external libraries?

I don’t get how you could think that’s what I meant. Every person with an internet connection uses a search engine. I use search engines to find relevant documentation. I assumed that went without saying.

I’m IP banned due to my VPN. If they don’t want my business, that’s fine. I’m not getting off my VPN just to interact with proprietary software.
