Syncing on Apple devices across the board is pretty bad. A great example is the Notes app. It took me a year to convince my wife to migrate our grocery list away from the Notes app. So many arguments about missed grocery items that never synced.
I agree that all three are aggressively Linux specific, but let's be real. From a market share perspective Unix is dead. Linux itself threw the Unix philosophy out the window some time ago.
I don't think I do (I'm generally not easily put out by weather), but I would argue that the weather isn't free. I have to survive and deal with weather (clothes, shelter, etc) no matter where I live or what I do.
I'm not trying to shame anyone into silence. I'm not trying to shame anyone. However, I would like to see people complain less and act more. Being on the other side of open source software is eye-opening. It can be very disheartening to get mostly negative feedback for something done out of passion (even if you might make a bit of money for it).
When the last discussion of X being abandon-ware came up one of the things I wanted to say, being the creator of a highly used open source project myself, is that people are ultimately responsible for software. I was going to speculate that the maintainer of X might be burnt out and that none of us have any right to his free labour, and that the people whining should probably step up or shut up.
Open source software is also free (as in beer) software.
There's a word for people who complain about free things.
I think market retribution would take care of their decision pretty handily. I also think the same is true for Republicans. Twitter could never survive the market retaliation if they banned the Republican Party, but they have every legal right to do so.
Also, changing the players in my scenario has nothing to do with anything, mine isn’t an opinion it is a matter of rule of law. If you don’t share that assumption with me than I have to fall silent.
What does free speech have to do with this? Cloudflare and other companies have 1st amendment rights as well. One of them is that they can serve customers as they like, as long as they are not violating the rights of a protected class. Political ideology or party affiliation is not a protected class, nor should it be. Twitter could ban every Republican on its platform tomorrow and it if the government tried to stop them the Supreme Court would likely side with Twitter.
Companies are allowed to discriminate against political ideology as much as they like. It’s their 1st amendment right to do so. So 1st amendment advocates should be on the side of company censorship, not the other way around.
Do you not think that there is clearly something wrong with humanity. A quick glance around the world shows that we are positively evil to each other. I think we are also good, but there is immense suffering in the world. You can be an atheist and think that there is something wrong with human beings. Non Christian folk for millennia have a rich tradition of seeing something wrong with human beings:
First of all, the Christian theological vision of redemption incorporates a much broader view of humanity than one individual's salvation from damnation, it shares much in common with the Marxist view of the end of history in that it also puts hope on a stable everlasting peace and prosperity, where the "lion will lay down with the lamb".
I'm not advocating for Christian theology at all, but it would be foolish not to see the Universalist connections between Marxism and Christianity, they both have a vision for the "end of history".
So even if the Pope weren't engaging Marx on his own terms here, speaking plainly of a Materialist redemption, which it appears he is doing, his Christian theology would presuppose a good deal of shared understanding in Marx's hope for Utopia. The Church has a love-hate relationship with Communism that needs to be understood before their analysis of it can be cast by the wayside so easily.
