“Joe Biden when the moderator asks him a question during the debate: ⬆️”

This is what you sound like.

Aren’t you basically just describing FOSS and framing it as a complaint? Valve for example has a vested interest in improving their software stack, and they do just that by donating both money and engineers to various projects. If these open source projects did not exist, they would have to spend the same or even more money on a proprietary licensed alternative, or to develop their own solution.

I wish that news articles would actually cite how they know things

Yep. When I actually started reading some news articles and quickly found out that I was on my own if I want to learn more or verify what I just read, really put me off that stuff.

When I actually post something informative, it seems crazy to not include the links I already have anyway. And make sure it’s viewable in the wayback machine if it’s something so predictably ephemeral…

If you’re willing to believe a couple of random news outlets:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/9/altoona-pennsylvania-mcdonald-reviews-go-negative-/

Not hard to imagine thag G**gle would be on the case, deleting reviews by now.

That shading work on the meme tho, excellent

Since you linked to Miniminuteman, I assume you are familiar with the excellent Brad Hafford of Artifactually Speaking who dunked on corrected some of Milo’s mistakes in a video, and they later collabbed. Archaeology right from the trenches! (I thought I’d mention him anyway, here’s a link, too)

There is a specialized player for that. Just run this command:

cat podcast.ogg >> /dev/null

Gets rid of all the uninteresting parts of any podcast!

…Are you being purposely obtuse?

Do you think an unwanted pregnancy doesn’t affect the biological father’s life in any way?

Well, specifically women

How do you figure?
