You’re right: you were being a condescending asshole. And then OP replied in good faith, and you proceeded to look like a dumb condescending asshole with nothing to say. Great job.
I am begging you too to read a book, any book. In good faith I am recommending to you Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life by Larry Winget. Some people, not me, have called him the ‘Pitbull of Personal Development’ so you may get something out of the 272 pages. ISBN 9781118024515
Were they engaging in good faith when they posted this massive thread moaning about getting banned for “slight criticism of tankies communities” when it was actually for hating homeless people?
You don’t give someone infinite chances to engage in good faith while they keep moving the football like Lucy from Peanuts, fuck OP.
It isn’t enshitification in the sense of trying to make the platform make money, but it is throwing up new roadblocks in the way of using the platform. It makes it harder to just show up, register, and post code. It creates multiple tiers of users who have different privileges on the platform. And from here it would be easier to move to, with some of the same justifications, some sort of requirement to pay for code hosting.
It is absolutely a political issue. To quote Chico Mendes, one of the greatest conservationists, who was murdered for it, environmentalism without class struggle is gardening.
You may not like that politics is involved with conservation, that’s fair. But it is, and the people doing the destroying are the ones who control politicians.
Actual memes are often political because almost nothing is fully nonpolitical.
If you think it’s nonpolitical that just means you are fine with the politics to the point that you don’t notice them.
The act of you deciding what you think is “political” is itself a political act between what you’re comfortable with and what you’re uncomfortable with.
Pretty much nothing that can be imagined is fully nonpolitical. If you think it is, it just means it has politics that you’re comfortable with that you don’t notice.
Until the last sentence I thought this was about the erratic behavior of Seal, a singer known for his song “Kiss from a Rose” from the motion picture movie Batman and Robin.
The romantic nature of Batman and Robin’s relationship is heavily implied throughout the movie, although we never see them perform acts of affection such as “smoochin”, “gropin”, “tongue kissin”, “hand holdin”, “sword fightin”, or “butt stuff”. It was, nonetheless, the fist ever movie to show a superhero in a committed same-sex relationship.
I don’t think so. Enforcing two-factor auth to be allowed to do certain things with an account just makes sense. It’s definitely not an attempt to squeeze profit out of users per se, but rather an attempt to limit liability and the risk of costly support problems caused by passwords being compromised.
I think it’s even more important with contributors of large projects and libraries used by a vast amount of software out there.
It’s not inconceivable that someone’s account gets hijacked, and someone uses their trusted account to add a small snippet of malicious code in a commit, enabling a supply-chain attack.
