The interesting part as far as the salaries they are not obscene. Many of the people who started learning at women who code could easily be making more than the CEO by now.

I mean, quite a bit of that stuff people pay premium for is already counterfeit even at stores like whole foods. I don't know how common it is, but it does exist.
Amazon probably wouldn't help much though yeah.

> Apple offers quite a bit of free software when you purchase their hardware. This includes OS upgrades and their office suite as well as Xcode and Garage Band, among other things. It's quite nice and they are well made.
Most of that is not "free software" in the way this blog post is talking about (FOSS). XCode has FOSS components, parts of the OS are FOSS, etc. However, much of it is not.

perl also grabbed a lot of things from CL, like moose(their MOP, at least so I hear).

I mean, at least in a social (not clinical) setting, i'd say the burden of proof is on society to prove that it doesn't exist.
I understand not wanting to clinically treat it if there isn't much evidence.

I mean, given their logic I think the Mister Rogers example would work too. The idea is having a consistent presence, I believe.

How can it be debunked? It's all internal to a person. I'm not comfortable telling people what they feel/who they are is wrong.
I know multiple "collectives", as I've heard them called, on some online chatrooms. They seem perfectly functional and logically consistent.

To be fair, while still awful, that's not a National Security threat.

I think it'd go a long way to make laws that require software that is embedded on devices to 1. be patchable by the user and 2. The software has to be open source if the company is no longer able to maintain it.

We have a bit of that in the US too. Not super popular though. Usually just chocolate but also some other stuff.

In case you are wondering about the downvotes:
There are millions(trillions?) of lines of code out there that is maintainable and dynamically typed.

I know way more great developers who contribute to open source than great developers that don't.

Maybe your area really sucks, but i've never had the misfortune to work at jobs even half as bad as the two you've described here. I'm not in a tech hub at all.

With that definition of fact, very very few facts actually exist at all.

Why would you include religious texts in a fact checking process unless the subject is religion?

> indicating she no longer thinks her accusations hold any water
This is the only thing in your summary I disagree with. From my reading of the issue and knowledge from following it I think Leah still very much believes in her accusations. She just has realized that at this point even if she's right nothing positive is going to happen and realizes she handled the whole situation awfully so is apologizing for that.
I didn't read anything that suggested that she didn't think the accusations were true anymore.

You act like that is the project's fault though.
The whole point of libreboot is to be a purely free software alternative and they can't do that with modern AMD/Intel.
Sure, that means the project will never be mainstream but it doesn't mean it is dead in the water.

If your definition of trivially easy is hiring a lawyer and waiting months or longer for a trial all while having a hard/impossible time to hold a job. You'd still have no guarantee of winning either.
azrazalea | 9 years ago | on: For 18 years I thought she was stealing my identity, until I found her
This happens all the time in the US, especially for poorer/disadvantaged folks. They'll be advised to plead guilty whether they did it or not because they'll be given a lighter punishment + be done with it instead of missing more work going to court and possibly still being found guilty.
Hell I did it and i'm white middle class, but I was actually guilty too so...
