Free market!

But dumbasses will eat that shit up

It's interesting to have closed source for some use cases, (sensitive or top secrets programs for instance) but open source should definitely be the default rather than the exception in my opinion.

Well, that vastly depends on the license it's under but yeah, that's the gist of it !

It means that you only have access to the compiled binaries of the program (the files on your system) and not to the source code.
Which means that you cannot see why and how the program functions the way it does. You can try and reverse engineer it or decompile it, but it will be different from the original code. As you stated, you can't fork it either because you don't have access to the original source control.

You could argue they're salting the land as they're dumping sea water. I wouldn't be surprised if some morons used this as an argument.

It's one less argument for them to use. Just think of all these morons conflating weather and climate, and denying climate change because "snow in my garden".
Words and language have a massive power over people's minds, might as well use them in a way to reduce confusion.

That's what happens when the economic wellbeing of a country is based upon numbers on computers instead of the actual wellbeing of its population. Fuck neoliberalism.

That's a big reason why Global Warming is not a good name. Climate change or climate disruption is much better at conveying that the climate is changing in an abnormal way, instead of just warming up.

Paradox of tolerance right there

Bring back the trackpoint you bastards !

Looks like The Exorcist

It's almost like lefties, or autistic people. Now that there's widespread awareness and easy(-ish) medical diagnosis available, people end up figuring out they're zebras instead of weird horses.
And, like left handed people it will most likely plateau at a steady percentage after a while.

Yeah look at all the gays and trans kids that got propagandized to be straight and cis because of all the heteronormativity in the media!

There are two three two of them.
The old bastard (Rest in Piss), the bastard daughter and the bastard niece

They have a use for truth, but only when it suits them, otherwise it's just an opinion like any other.

Dude's a convicted felon already, and he is tough on crime kinda guy. His sons and wife have also been involved in shady shit. And he still roams free.

And importing tons from France now that the reactors are back to full power.

A fine is a monetary punishment, it's supposed to hurt you. It should be a percentage of revenue or similar, not a fixed amount. That's less than a slap on the wrist right there.

$2M fine on a company with $9B revenue. That's pocket change and just the cost of business at this point...
