  • I did give it a knee-jerk reaction, true. I've since had my morning tea and am mostly just wondering what you get out of yelling at people on the internet. Not that I don't occasionally do the same. Maybe I'm asking you to better understand myself.

  • Honestly I looked at your comments and they're all just aggressive, and I was genuinely wondering why. You're not trying to share info, and you're not trying to convince anyone of anything. What's the point? Is this helpful to you? It just seems like you're upsetting yourself.

    EDIT: Actually, I take that back partially. You are sharing links. On my mobile app I only saw your comments, not your posts.

  • Good thoughts. Did you follow the link to thread that was the tipping point for the blog author? The thread creator was very rude (according to, due to his own mental health situation). We all have different levels of tolerance and patience, but I can totally see why the blog author would be fed up after such a comment, if things were already stressful.

  • Discord has real advantages over many of those, and communities are slow to pick up and move. It'll take either a very bad decision from discord or a good competitor. I want that competitor to be Matrix, but it's far from perfect.

  • Also not a lawyer, but you can also grant exceptions to the license (if you're the sole owner of the code), so you can license code one way and let a certain org use it another way.

    Which is essentially already what's happening. The default "license" of something is that you have full ownership and no rights are given to anyone else. You've essentially give your company an exception to use it for that project.

  • That's true, I was simplifying a little bit because it certainly depends on how you lose it. Crash diets are the worst because they can really mess with your organs, but liposuction or more balanced changes can avoid the worst of that.

  • The correlation between weight and health is a lot murkier than media in general, and these shows in particular, represent. It's much more reliable to measure blood and vitals, such as cholesterol and blood pressure, to establish wellbeing and risk.

    Rapid changes in weight tho, in either direction, are well established for having permanent harmful effects. It also tends to make it more difficult to maintain weight loss, and more likely someone actually increases in weight over time.

    These shows make it seem like losing weight at any cost is desirable, and don't put focus on the actually accurate metrics of wellbeing, while ignoring the negative long term impacts of rapid weight loss. It's a very warped view of health that focuses on an aesthetic feature.

    I strongly recommend giving this podcast a try if you want more analysis: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biggest-loser/id1535408667?i=1000505824482

  • That saying isn't trying to explain all of IP law. It's referring to products where there is no way to buy a copy you have permanent possession of. There's a reason you don't see the same fervor around pirating books.
