I know. But I can’t find the humor in imagining a pool with fire. Also, in spanish we would say “on” instead of “in” to apply the secons meaning. Or at leas to me that’s how it would really mean that there’s fire at the pool: “la pileta esta en llamas” vs. “hay llamas en la pileta”.
Anyway… I am just an overthinker…
“Cuidado, hay llamas!” … I don’t get it.
And I wouldn’t say the use here is just a swearword. Saying Iran is under a fascist regime should unite us to identify a problem, the suffering of their population. Do not allow semantics to be one another reason why we are fighting among us, the people with radical decency.
Since when are we getting so heated debates about fascism? Trump has ICE, and no one discussed if he wasn’t facist before that. Learn to see the cues. Elimination of competing political rivals is just one aspect.
Plus, if we were to look for a definition, might as well take one that accounts for understanding that facist regimes are, beyond all, a process. See for example the text by George Orwell: ‘What is Fascism?’ (1944)
By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come.
But Fascism is also a political and economic system. Why, then, cannot we have a clear and generally accepted definition of it? Alas! we shall not get one — not yet, anyway. To say why would take too long, but basically it is because it is impossible to define Fascism satisfactorily without making admissions which neither the Fascists themselves, nor the Conservatives, nor Socialists of any colour, are willing to make. All one can do for the moment is to use the word with a certain amount of circumspection and not, as is usually done, degrade it to the level of a swearword.
Some GPLv2 projects monetize by selling: support, extension via custom features, or simply the permission for a commercial use. This is possible, and it’s what I called “the legalese package”. Imagine ffmpeg being able to charge every year any amount they want to the biggest clients, like GAFAM. Yet you’re still able to use it non commercially… To be fair, there’re some middle uses, that get the disadvantage of having to break the license or ask for permission. For example, if you create anything with ffmpeg, then as an indie dev you’d need to launch your product breaking the license or paying them… But even so, situation is manageable (e.g. ffmpeg could spare you and/ or give a 1 year permission to small businesses)
“Allow me to interject and explain the four liberties…” (Or, goto fsfe.org/freesoftware )
If I understand correctly the biggest issue for FFMPEG and other projects is not only the Google and Microsoft that use them without giving back, but their chosen License. They gave permission to corporations to do this. One of the potential ways to fix this situation, is to change the license. For example from LGPL to AGPL. And then they can sell the legalese package of allowing them to break their license. The biggest difficulty is that, as a project, they’d need consent from every past and future contributors. So, yeah. I get it. This is a mess.
It would be way more easier if more corporations donated to open source projects… There’s too much labour that’s invisible
I believe it’s intentional. Then, you interpret the original post this is being replied to, as the content of such bubble. Alas, I am still figuring out what’s the meaning of it all…
It’s been communal tradition ever since ThePirateBay got into these “DNS wars” and “Domain switching”. In the end, TPB kind of faded out. But same practice goes for many pirate sites. That’s the point :) so, be aware it’s a great way to find URLs for these o7
Let’s have the scientists’ and governments’ patents sold to them for pennies!! /s
Thanks. I know about the compromise, having a 24/7 box with all I want to hear. But that can’t include new songs that I am yet to discover.
fwiw, engineers round Pi and are fine with it…
purple earth was all RNA, or not?
Reminds me of that post about a new species and someone had to ask “how come scientists never saw it before?!”
It didn’t specify but it’s titsex in elevator
That’s why we have tmdb.org themoviedb ;)
Child gambling? You mean like Android videogames and Google not caring about it for a while until some EU law??
I didn’t knew that involved Valve too…
This is only a few centimeters big. There’s no way it could predate on dinosaurs… /s
That’s John travolta. Or not. I’m still confused.
I fail to see the connection between the meme and the community where it was posted. Anyone cares to explain? Ty in adv.
