Is it the Ur-Quan masters, aka Star Control II?

Ah, Telegram gets paid 300 million dollars for this action. Understandable.

No they did not. You are literally spreading misinformation.

You are allowed to criticise the leaders of israel, its not banned.

It is because their admins are in Germany and they fear the extreme repercussion that the German State has done recently. Did you even read the post you pasted? Are are you intentionally trying to stir up drama?

Not everyone lives in safety these days. Fascism has made it hard to do things like host a volunteer run online forum safely. There are cases where the heavily armed anti-terrorism unit SEK search peoples houses at gun point for this. Do you think online moderators should be required to catch a bullet for your posts?

I mean, yes, obviously. Still, “made in the same city” is a wierd description implying that all ram produced there has the same quality.

What do you mean “the same city”? What does this statement say about the quality of the chip? I get when you say " the same factory" or “the same company” but “the same city” says nothing. Isnt lots of different tech produced in a few chinese cities?

The ideas we explore in concrete work should be informed by what open source licensing proponents seek to restrict (the individual freedom to refuse), the tools they employ (software licensing), the language they attempt to monopolize (“Free as in Freedom”), and what the established systems and cultural norms do in practice

The article doesnt use the wording “Free Software Movement” it uses “open source licensing proponents” which includes the Free Software Movement.

As for the genocide per default part: Its nonsense to believe that if open source didnt exist or was different that it would somehow lead to less genocide.

“We know that there is a clear relationship between corporations which expend focused energy explicitly and implicitly promoting the use of Open Source Initiative-approved licenses to independent developers, and the genocide being committed in Palestine.”

“The Freedom to refuse”

This article is bonkers. It manages to twist the Free Software Movement, that I would argue is intrinsically radically anti-capitalist, to be somehow pro capitalist, because free labour. Completely ignoring the whole mutual benefit and means of production held in common part of the deal. It tries to paint restricions of who is allowed to use the software (breaking F(L)OSS definitions) as a “Freedom”, the freedom to “refuse”. Actual use of Orwellian phrasing there. And then somehow: Open source = Siding against Palestine.

No they dont, not with the current american administration.

oh wow, no one is left from that disagreement, they both resigned.

They finally found a bagholder!

Theres a “do not disturb at night” option on all modern phones nowadays for people who dont want to become unreachable

Alright, fair. I was more refering to the content of the message, not the (botched) metaphore of maintainers as a force of order.

I read the “thin blue line” email and it seems… reasonable and sensible? And seeing how he is so appaled by it makes me question his judgement a bit.

Its finally happening??

Oi, you got a loicence to pay that ransom fee?

But…they can already do all of that? And nothing is stopping you from having a secret offshore account in a foreign currency, instead of cryptocoins.

its not near, but im sure some companies will claim they have it(and then get sued)

no.
