I don’t think that applies if the enemy of your enemy is a Nazi/Nazi sympathizer

I don’t care what you’re talking about, your point is nonsense. Tiktok is censored. If they censor one thing, nothing is off the table.

That’s irrelevant. The claim was that Tiktok is uncensored, not that it didn’t censor the things “Americans at large are being blinded to”. If they’ll censor one thing, they’ll censor anything, as we’ve already seen with pro-Palestine content.

Mention the name, coward

In what fantasyland is Tiktok uncensored? Tiktok is the whole reason we get screenshots where words like sex, kill, dead, gun, assault, rape, and every swear word imaginable are censored. Tiktok is the reason for euphemisms like “seggs” (sex) and “grape” (rape). There was a time when food content struggled on Tiktok because you’d get shadow banned for having a knife in your video.

Lol no, the most writing I do is comments on Lemmy

One of the first things I did at my first full time job (while my very under prepared boss was looking for “junior-dev-friendly” tasks for me to work) was go to git-scm.com and just read through all the man pages I could. I spent a few days doing that, then my boss asked me to create a PowerPoint and present what I learned to the team. It was instantly apparent that I was the only one who knew anything beyond git commit -a on the team at that point, and I was promptly appointed the “title” of “source control SME”. I’ve been heading up version control best practices for every team I’ve been on since (which is scary because the git cli has changed quite a bit since I read all those man pages but I haven’t had a chance to go back and refresh my knowledge).

I’m sure you’ll find something

Carrying a grudge? “This long and vocally”? Who? How?

And I’ll say it again - it isn’t toxic entitlement for users to expect to receive support on the platform they’ve been told to use to receive support. I’m not sure how you can argue differently, unless you twist words to the point of meaninglessness.

I meant it’s not “toxic entitlement” like the other commenter I replied to claimed. Edited my original comment to hopefully be clearer.

It should end at the dev putting out some sort of communication stating they’re not responsible for packaging, and to reach out to the package maintainers with issues installing from a package and not from the officially documented/supported installation procedure. That isn’t out of the norm at all for the open source community, and is one of the main reasons for releasing source code - to enable other people to build it and try to get it to work in whatever environment they want to.

That shouldn’t require a change to a much more restrictive license, and it certainly shouldn’t require implementing changes to your code that force it to fail on specific OSes (like what was recently added for Arch).

Except the Duckstation developer changed the license to where they don’t accept contributions from others, so we couldn’t help even if we wanted to.

It isn’t toxic* entitlement to seek tech support on the platform the developer offers tech support on.

Edit: added “toxic” for clarification

Lol so predictable. In a comment or two you’ll devolve into name calling

Lol. Lmao even. Poor reading comprehension, strawmanning, and false equivalency all in one short comment, congratulations. You’d do well troll comment golf! You even snuck some childish huffing in there without adding too many extra characters!

Those tactics are literally working this very minute. What tactics would you rather see?

Wait! Don’t reply here, go make a post about it! I promise that will be more effective than continuing what you’re doing here.

I think the people using the biggest whataboutism argument I’ve ever seen are the ones acting like middle schoolers, but that’s just me.

Feel free to make a new post listing senators’ contact information, walking people through calling their senators about those issues, and giving them a rough script or an idea of what to say. That would be a hell of a lot more productive than all the whining and complaining y’all are doing in this post.

You mean like exactly what’s been happening over the past few days?

Does anyone remember the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 mouse? It had vertical thumb buttons instead of horizontal, and I loved that layout, but it’s literally the only mouse I’ve ever seen like it. But now that I know there’s open source mice out there, I might have to mess around and learn CAD so I can alter one of these mice to have vertical thumb buttons

That analogy doesn’t really apply though. The decision to change master to main was a collective one, not made by “some corporate board room 1000 miles away”. It may feel like that’s how it went down because you only noticed when GitHub changed their defaults or whatever, but that decision was not made in a vacuum, it was the result of lots of people saying “hey, this is a problem, let’s fix it” for a long time before any actions were taken.
