What’s your problem with it? I read parts of the documentation and it seemed like a very elegant language combining good features from many other languages.

There are many more examples of this here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freedom-to-run.html

The problem is that “human freedom” and “human rights” are very general and somewhat vague terms and some people’s freedoms and rights are sometimes in conflict with each other. So it’s also often meaningless to say that you support “human freedom” and “human rights” without asking what freedoms and rights and for whom.

FOSS is a very specific subset of human freedom and human rights, it’s the right to control, modify and distribute the software one uses. All other parts of human freedom and human rights aren’t something that the free software movement necessarily has a position on. (Free software can certainly be used to, at least arguably, violate human rights, for example armed forces can use free software too, and should be able to!)

Yes, you did: OpenID.

I remember when I first read about it (late 2000s? not sure when), I thought it was an awesome idea and surely the web of the future would be full of “log in with OpenID” buttons.

Instead it is now full of “log in with Google”, “log in with Facebook”, “log in with Microsoft” buttons.

https://xkcd.com/810/ was oddly prophetic

Confusing because there is a DB client called SQuirreL.

But also relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1989/

It’s possible in general, but I don’t think that’s what’s going on specifically here; not many people read IP addresses in such detail to notice such things at first glance.

Typical Linux distributions are almost objectively harder to use than Android

So are Windows and macOS.

Is the source code already available?

at least https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22780466/why-cant-my-program-compile-under-windows-7-in-french was actually funny

I miss the days when making money from posting things on the Internet wasn’t really a (widespread) thing. In the earliest days of YouTube there was no partner program, everyone who uploaded anything there did so out of enthusiasm; if we still had that, maybe we’d have fewer videos overall, but no one would have a reason to post AI slop or other low-quality videos just for profit.

Yes. Try jobs where you just develop internal software for big companies. Not guaranteed, but not unheard of either.

At my job I don’t. I once used it for some open source code where I implemented a fairly complex one line formula; I did eventually figure out the problem and don’t remember how helpful the AI’s suggestions were.
