Same dude has posted two lying propaganda pieces by this same author this afternoon. Seems like an agenda.

Nothing about this is honest. This is trash-fire pro-fossil-fuel propaganda and nothing more. And it comes across pretty clearly in the tone; there is no attempt to sound neutral at all.

Is there a law like Betteridge's law for the use of "honest"? Because almost anything that explicitly calls itself honest is just full of shit.

No. No it is not.

FAFO. Sounds justified.

They literally titled the blog post "The Future of Open Source".

Not OK. It's bad enough as it is right now.

I get it, but that's just going to annoy me and probably annoy thousands of others.

"I demand you purchase ad space from me. It's my legal right to force you to buy ad space from me."

Fuck off, dickbag.

Except in the context of your jam example open source has always meant free software and has never meant non-free licenses. Hence the term source available.

And now "fair source" are you kidding me? "Business friendly" yeah have fun. It's your software and your license. But you don't get to unilaterally redefine what we understand to be open source just because you're butt hurt you got called out on your misuse of the term.

A semantic difference only. They were "made redundant", "let go", "laid off", "fired", "terminated", and any other set of convenient choices.

Please don't lie.

Yes.

One enabled this, another perpetrated it.

The list of overused words and phrases is good and I agree with a lot of it, but the recommendations is just more of the same blather stated in a slightly different way. As dwaltrip says elsehwere in this thread, it's not the words per se, it's that we know you're lying.

No it won't.

Just a country with racism built right into the founding, and a history of racism, and existing racist policies. But not a racist country.

I mean this interview is filled with incredibly racist rhetoric, but sure. America is not a racist country.

Keep telling yourself that, you racist asshole.

Yes this is a huge miss. It's IE all over again.

This is not a strong argument. In fact it sounds downright reasonable.

"best in the market"

I think the evidence shows that no, they aren't.

Agree. This seems to just be a trashy clickbait headline with a vaguely related thought piece about effective communication following it.

This is a ridiculous statement. The backlash isn't over spending money to support open source software, which is obvious from reading the comments on the announcement. The backlash is about an open source project using the AGPL 3 license (right there in the project repository in the LICENSE file) is "selling licenses to use the software" while making vague promises that "nothing will be paywalled".

Yes, you can sell open source software but the way they're going about it is incredibly tone deaf and brings up real worry they'll change the license in the future, maybe making it not truly open source. Even if this isn't the case the communication is really terrible. Why should we trust them when they're already this ham-handed?

Oh come on, where are the details in this report? How is the farming integrated with solar operations? Are the modules installed high with growing underneath? Or is spacing significantly wider to allow for farming between rows. Is this fixed tilt or single-axis tracking? How is shading being managed? Is the "alfalfa and forage crop" discussed being harvested or grazed?

Someone spelled Chrome wrong.

So what? They can not enable third party processing (I would probably avoid it personally anyways) or work with one of the approved vendors.

This is just a DIY version of a cheap nugget from the bad old days.

Eventually they will invent the Suburban. "We enclosed the truck bed".

It was to buy a place no one could shut him up. He adores censorship as long as its of other people. Dude gives exactly zero shits about free speech.

This is a complete joke. But there's not much content here once you get past the giant picture and general awfulness of the NYT web site.

"Mr. Musk has volunteered his sperm to help seed a colony, two people familiar with his comments said."

Yeah, the guy is a creepy weirdo. This is not a surprise.

"Mr. Musk told SpaceX employees in April that he now expects one million people to be living there in about 20 years."

This won't happen. I'll put money on it.
