There’s a very good reasons why people and organisations will pay for proprietary software when there is a free alternative available.

And there are also very good reasons why people and organisations are stopping relying on proprietary software and switching to open alternatives that won’t lock them up.

That has not much do to with FOSS but with the people you are working with. Proprietary software you can’t even contribute freely to begin with

it would be absolute chaos with no direction, conflicting goals, incomplete projects, and limited oversight

You are describing the current scenario where everything is proprietary

And that’s why government men are not going to stop using X

they are both authoritarian police states same as usa or russia

You may want to check the history of your country. It’s your past your present and your future.

Going from an authoritatian police state to another doesn’t sound like much of a difference

Why there was a ban to begin with and how does this help ukrainian people?

He can but he’s fine with it.

There’s no way these people are eating “peasants” food. This looks more like an ad

We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.

Last before what?

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world,

And that’s why they are not going to eat any fast food, they are making ads

The food looks unspoiled, are they actually eating that or just making ads?

Nobody can do shit about it anyways so they are going to do it for whatever reason. Red and blue party just won elections and it’s going to win again in 4 years, government gonna do whatever they want.

I believe the lack of footage from gaza and the censorship of the press is doing a good job at keeping public opinion controlled. If pictures of dead kids would be on the news daily you will see a public outrage.

Serious information should also not be spread through memes. Lemmy homes are always filled with shitposts, try to upvote more serious content and less memes.

I’m not looking to insult anybody for their nationality, see this thread https://feddit.nl/post/22918080

Go for it

I’m not looking to insult anybody for their nationality. I’m just wondering if the double standard reserved for russian (insults against the rules) are now going to be applied for all americans too

Now that USA is ruled by a fascist are they going to expel from the linux kernel every maintainers who work for american companies?

You definitely are going to sleep better by not supporting any criminal with blood on his hands. There’s many other things other than voting you can do to change things for good, if you are not fine with Jill Stein and believe she’s evil don’t vote for them either
