It’s a great way to know who to cut off from the conversation as it should be apparent that they aren’t interested in discussing the subject in good faith. (Plus, you can remove GNU part from Linux entirely nowaday.)

Trademark, the onus is on the business owner to litigate to protect their trademark status of their property otherwise they can lose it.

Do you have any pawn store nearby? Auction? I’d start looking for local community around if I were you, if nothing else, maybe print some flyers and post them up in the neighborhood and to have people contact you on certain email. (Make a new email account, don’t use your main email, because you never know if it’s going to get spammed to hell.) Also don’t bring cash to the meet up with stranger, just check them out first and if they’re legit, you can use paypal to transfer money to them once the transaction is decided.

If that option is out, then your options are pretty limited, one of them being that you need to leave your country temporarily to obtain the PlayStation from another country and I don’t know how importation works in your country, so it might be an issue.

Good luck convincing people that it’s End to End Encrypted when it’s not open source.

Well it disrupted my other IDE tools and other stuff, and caused various issues to arise when running start up applications… sooo maybe that environment is specific to me, but… say what you will.

https://alternativeto.net/ would be it.

I honestly don’t like to have to see only English speakers on every single community, I wanted us to open up communities to international audience, I think it honestly a lot better overall if we have more diversity of opinions and languages in every community rather than sitting in an echo chamber. Sure, specific community can enact their language policy, but for overall server, I think we ought to open up a bit to the international community. That just my opinion.

I think Mastodon did serves as an OkCupid platform to a degree, I’ve seen a number of “love posting” on the timeline from time to time where they share their expression of love toward each others on a regular basis. (They date IRL, so yeah.)

Yeah, this happen sometime and it’s something that have precedence historically specifically Amazon’s fork of Elastic Search. Basically, this is what raise the issue of making a project open source. I fundamentally disagree on the #6 definition of Open Source which is:

“6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor - The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.”

We ought to have some imposed restrictions on commercial businesses and unethical organizations from using our free/open source software that forbid them from taking advantage of us. I’m all ear for further discussion on this, this been something that on my mind for a while. I have A LOT of projects that would be a benefit to overall open source community, but the biggest problem is with the open source licensing that is simply too permissive and open to exploitation from existing corporations/companies that may use my projects against my community like the Linux Community.
