I didn't realize the situation in Japan was so serious to start affecting even the Dolphin!

The tiger wasn't interested in her. The vet advised him to avoid trash food.

The only innovation happening with these giant companies is how to monopolize the market, rewrite laws and enshittify everything. Not to mention them destroying the planet in the process.

As opposed to food chains throwing away perfectly good food?

Not aware of the toxicity... any starting point for this storyline?

not available in India too

The amount of people who feel like they’re entitled to the previous code and are calling the license change scummy make me sick.

But you're not sick at the fact that they licensed it as LGPL just to get their product popular and then said "I got the eyeballs I wanted, time to milk this!"

This developer put their own free time into this project

When your code is open source the expectation is that you are sharing code with people for free so that the community can enjoy the work and hopefully you gain respect and popularity as your product matures and a lot of people utilize it. People might even fund you for your hard work if you become popular enough. Maybe a whole new product gets developed on top of your product and you become important. That's how a lot of successful open source projects work.

If you are entitled to quick success, we are entitled to our ideology around FLOSS.

they made sure to not accept anyone else’s code.

So they just wanted people to test their product and market them for free? Who's entitled here?

(Also that argument is not going to work in court when people sue them for violating LGPL terms)

and they understandably felt they deserve to be paid for their time

What about the compensation for people who beta-tested this product for free and recommended them to others?

But otherwise, you should really reflect on how you’re giving back to the people who make the tools you feel oh so entitled to.

The giving back part is increasing respect, popularity, and a community of contributors who will grow YOUR product for free. Don't act like this small project is a gift from God.

Also, the author literally didn't accept contributions. That just means they were looking for free marketing and eyeballs. As soon as it was convenient for them to pull the rug they did so without even thinking about the community. Who's the scumbag, you tell me?

A silent portion of the community actually prefers that normal people don't adopt linux. Those with entitlement and wanting to be spoonfed everything are best left to suffer with windows.

Its kind of unfair because the playing field is not level. Microsoft made sure of this decades ago.

The problem with linux is Microsoft. They worked hard over half a century to make it difficult for linux adoption. They paid hardware vendors to keep windows exclusivity. They forced secureboot starting at windows 8 causing problems for linux users.

They made sure linux never got the mindshare that windows has.

I would do the following:

Build a PC, Buy a bike and travel, Buy a bicycle and ride it on trails, If single: casual dating, Develop a skill like musical instruments or learn a language.

I don't like going to the gym because lifting weights and treadmills are quite boring. Instead I would play sports like football, badminton, etc.

This is not a correct comparison as rust strings support UTF8. Try doing that with char*!

Indian courts are fellating the current govt. hard so complying with their orders is akin to giving their govt. a free pass to suppress dissent and arrest civilians under their notorious UAPA. They use their "enforcement directorate"(shortened to ED) as whips to keep people in line. ED and courts are the lapdog of their government.

Somehow personal failings never happened in communism? I am from a formerly communist nation. Capitalism has been a disaster.

Communism is bad for the people who want money. Capitalism is bad for everyone except the person who wants to hoard money.
