  • Yeah, really don’t get this one. As an example, I’ve been supporting the guy who writes most of the software I use via Github sponsors for a while, now. It’s nice to get access to additional support chat rooms and perks and stuff, but just the feeling alone is satisfying enough.

    I genuinely recommend those with gainful employment to consider supporting the people who make the software and media you like (E.g. Patreon).

    Issue reports and the likes are nice, but they’re really not a substitute for cash (in my opinion).

    I’m annoyed to see you getting down voted - I had a similar issue years ago with my work MacBook (couldn’t run a custom WM because any modification to the Finder was blocked without putting the machine into “unsafe” mode).

    I love OSS, but without a verifiable way to distribute it large swaths of the workforce won’t be able to use it.

    F-Droid is great, but sadly it isn’t enough.

    This place is known for both their price and portion size. I generally get two meals out of a single $30 sandwich.

    Regardless of how popular the place is with tourists, it is still a classic.

    And, bonus: if the line is too long you can just go to Russ and Daughters a block away and grab a pastrami lox bagel (see attached).

    I agree that Pitchford is a dick, but I sincerely disagree about the art style comments: I don’t think it’s morally correct to “copyright” (or, reworded: claim exclusivity of) art styles, especially in this context.

    I think the two works are completely independent, and Gearbox being inspired by the short film is completely appropriate.

    Anything else would be no different (in my opinion) than cases like Roger Dean (the cover artist for Yes’ early albums) suing James Cameron for the floating islands in Avatar.

    It’s not stealing to be inspired by someone else.
