There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.
With Paradox, you get a complete and very complex game right from the start.
And then they shovel mountains of DLC on top for those who haven’t played anything else in the past 5 years.
If you played it with all DLC as a beginner, you’d be completely overwhelmed.
The cotton plant, hemp and flax do grow fabric for clothes, and willow bark contains the active ingredient of Aspirin.
Flowers (Fabaceae) can even pick up nitrogen from the air and deposit it into the ground where it acts as fertilizer.
Depends on your definition of free speech.
If that’s “you can post literally anything and there is no moderation”, then likely none.
Cause it would attract pedophiles sharing child sexual abuse material, drug traders and Nazis making lists of targets.
Why should anyone pay upkeep to host that? No advertiser will go near it, and it’s only a matter of time before the cops take it down and arrest people.
If it’s “post anything that isn’t blatantly illegal everywhere”, then try 8kun. But unmoderated platforms do not attract rational discourse:

No, but Pizza Hawaii was invented by someone born in Greece.
Invented in Ontario by someone born in Greece, who was inspired by Chinese food to put a fruit from South America on an Italian dish, and named it “Hawaii”.
Apart from the food, sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system and public health…
Also, the quickest way to get new software versions, in most cases.
git drunk
Ballsy, just casually dropping the G-word here!
Aluminum doesn’t belong anywhere near food. Get a stainless moka pot!
Surely, if nobody is using the software, then there’s no incentive to keep making it.
Making a tool you or the company you work for need yourself, fun, learning, community, doing good, showing off, status, being remembered, (even if it’s just in a circle of 10 people)…
Marketing generates interest. Interest gets users. Users (hopefully) get donations and/or contributions to the project.
Irrelevant for the vast majority of open source projects, which will never be financially profitable.
why not be clear and avoid wasting people’s time as they try to figure out what exactly a project is about?
Maybe because the volunteers working on the project in their free time are programmers, not marketers or good communicators?
Also, they aren’t wasting anybody’s time by creating useful software and giving it away for free.
I realize I’m being confrontational towards you, but this mindset of demanding things from people who literally give away free stuff with no strings attached rubs me the wrong way, every single time. And this mindset is much too prevalent, even to the point of harassing, insulting and threatening open source devs for choices they make in their projects.
The devs owe you nothing. If you don’t like what they do, simply don’t use it.
There are other options out there, but they may come with a $23/month price tag.
Open Source software is not a product that needs marketing.
The devs making Gimp gain literally nothing from you downloading and using it.
Stop applying capitalist logic to one of the few aspects of life that haven’t been monetized yet.
I hope at some point people will add inurl:lemmy to their G***** search to get better results.
No they are a symptom of a deregulated industry that can raise prices by 100% even though their costs have only gone up 2%, as long as a convenient excuse is pushed by the industry-aligned media.
Then, when the chicken plague is over, they lower the prices a tiny bit, to about 80% more than before, Trump declares victory, and the rich have become richer again.
They are the opposite of “set it and forget it”.
Probably the most maintenance-heavy distros out there.
They’re like Arch, if the Arch maintainers didn’t care about keeping the system working.
German is spoken in different versions by Germans, Austrians, Swiss, Luxembourgers and that one Belgian.
I speak the correct version.
(not so) fun fact: This entire text mirrors the sentiments of half of Russians today.
So expect to be lumped in with the rest, enough Americans support this to represent the county as a whole.
You don’t even need hardware for it. Barrier is a software solution.
