It’s kinda wild that an IT Certification company can’t handle Linux, but I’m sadly not surprised.

Not sure. Some enthusiasm is understandable, but Go and Swift don’t draw out evangelists the way Rust does.

Well, if they make it good, it has a permissive license and future updates and forks can take it private.

What’s this got to do with women?

I will see people do this for other FLOSS developers, and I think it’s bad in those cases too. I don’t want to name them because I feel like that’s not worth the effort and frankly we shouldn’t give any attention to complaints about a dev’s personal opinions or character.

By contrast, I respect the critiques of his actual software, which mostly seem to be fair. I do wonder how much people would even be looking into it if they didn’t have strong opinions about his opinions, but as long as it’s accurate that’s what matters.

Dhh has bad politics. Not sure about the software though.

I ain’t got no empires, jack.

But your criteria for a state being a “good” one is that it has resisted a bad one. I’m sure anyone with two brain cells to rub together can understand how that doesn’t follow. As for why some folks might not like it, I could just vaguely gesture at all the western media that repression of speach and thought there and ask if there’s anything reliable that can gainsay the claims. Haven’t seen it.

The above meme references a resolution that forbids NK citizens from working outside the country to send remittances back, as a part of a sanctions regime against the country for nuclear proliferation. It doesn’t forbid travel. So, you’re the liar in this case. Idk why, scarcely care.

Okay cool. So I’m sure there’s good evidence somewhere that that NK isn’t a cult of personality built around eternal president Kim Il Sung and the Kim family.

I’m here for it. Lay it on me.

Yeah that’s cool. Which is part of why I don’t get why North Korea gets any fucking love. I mean, times are hard for everyone I’m sure but aesthetics aside they don’t seem any more “socialist” than the “national” socialists. Even in all the dubious circumstances where a communist country had a presidential effectively served for the length of his natural life, aside from a brief interlude by Raul Castro none that I can recall have shown dynastic tendencies.

I’m willing to accept that there’s been some exaggerations made about how bad the DPRK is.

That doesn’t mean I think it’s good.

And obviously false memes like the OP don’t convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

Some folks think you just gotta love every country that calls itself communist, or voices opposition to the US, like a fun house mirror version of conservative nativism.

Crazy how it makes sense when you read it.

What crap. But I guess making useful software would require effort.

No, because nothing happened. Does sound like it was projection though.

The second panel should include “I still get paid for the work of one.”

See the guy in the meme asked for a thing the genie liked, so the genie granted the wish and gave him extra wishes. Hahahahaha

Can’t tell if this is anti USSR and Pro Russia, or Pro Ukraine and pro USSR. I’m hoping it’s the latter but I just can’t tell.

Valid.

Ooohh a useful response.
