Why proprietary cloud-based IoT isn’t sustainable.

That looks like just choosing to violate the GPL because you want to.

That’s fair. Only "free as in beer "

I’m going to stop using good free software because I read a blog post by a sketchy guy saying the guys that wrote the software are sketchy. 🙄

No material harm is described in the post. This is a drama blog.

I trust Immich and the AGPL more than this blogger.

In the last thread he posted in they’re already talking about the author/article in the OP.

Internet drama truly is a flat circle.

I ain’t got no empires, jack.

But your criteria for a state being a “good” one is that it has resisted a bad one. I’m sure anyone with two brain cells to rub together can understand how that doesn’t follow. As for why some folks might not like it, I could just vaguely gesture at all the western media that repression of speach and thought there and ask if there’s anything reliable that can gainsay the claims. Haven’t seen it.

The above meme references a resolution that forbids NK citizens from working outside the country to send remittances back, as a part of a sanctions regime against the country for nuclear proliferation. It doesn’t forbid travel. So, you’re the liar in this case. Idk why, scarcely care.

Okay cool. So I’m sure there’s good evidence somewhere that that NK isn’t a cult of personality built around eternal president Kim Il Sung and the Kim family.

I’m here for it. Lay it on me.

Yeah that’s cool. Which is part of why I don’t get why North Korea gets any fucking love. I mean, times are hard for everyone I’m sure but aesthetics aside they don’t seem any more “socialist” than the “national” socialists. Even in all the dubious circumstances where a communist country had a presidential effectively served for the length of his natural life, aside from a brief interlude by Raul Castro none that I can recall have shown dynastic tendencies.

I’m willing to accept that there’s been some exaggerations made about how bad the DPRK is.

That doesn’t mean I think it’s good.

And obviously false memes like the OP don’t convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

Some folks think you just gotta love every country that calls itself communist, or voices opposition to the US, like a fun house mirror version of conservative nativism.

Crazy how it makes sense when you read it.

I like Aegis.

Congratulations, you’re not an asshole. 🙃

Also apparently it’s already been forked 🎉

No, because nothing happened. Does sound like it was projection though.

So what’s the solution to keep abusive access from psudo-ddosing open projects? IP range blocks? Keeping access behind accounts as a speed bump for bots and a tool for tracking abuse?

The second panel should include “I still get paid for the work of one.”

See the guy in the meme asked for a thing the genie liked, so the genie granted the wish and gave him extra wishes. Hahahahaha

Can’t tell if this is anti USSR and Pro Russia, or Pro Ukraine and pro USSR. I’m hoping it’s the latter but I just can’t tell.

My eyes! 😭
