I agree people can and do create without IP as a motivation, and would continue to in its absence. I believe in a perfect world where everyone’s needs are met, IP may not be necessary at all. I would argue, though, that in the world we live in, the economic incentive IP creates has tangibly contributed to many valuable innovations that benefit humanity. Many people and companies rely on that incentive to be able to fund the work needed to create.

What is the incentive to create and innovate FOSS? Altruism? I’m genuinely asking. Maybe I don’t know enough about the movement.

Just because intellectual property can be voluntarily relinquished to great effect doesn’t mean the option to retain it should be abolished.

There is noodd.

I’m not a botanist, but I’m like 99% sure those are rosehips.

Yes.

Something like this:

A little bit. Different groups might engage more with different aspects of my personality, so I find myself naturally emphasizing different parts of myself accordingly. Code switching isn’t that unusual, I don’t think.

Lavender syrup is very strongly flavored in my experience.

But your example is also anecdotal? Catholics aren’t more like your friend or more like his. They’re both Catholic. It’s a diverse group. Sweeping generalizations don’t help anyone.

f.lux is a lot more tweakable.

I agree it’s easy now. For non-technical people who aren’t interested in tech, even that would be too much. They’re not building their own computers, and prebuilts almost always come with Windows. Going out of their way at all and learning to switch from Windows, which works fine for their needs, to something else doesn’t make sense to them.

It’s not broken. It’s indicating a left turn, but the left blinker looks like an arrow pointing to the right. That’s a mixed message. It’s meant to look like the Union Jack, but that caused mixed messaging so it’s a problem caused by mixed messaging.

Google tells me you’re the one who has them backwards. Here’s an article from Carnegie Natural History Museum explaining the difference.

Acshewally, Oppenheimer is the single greatest work of art known to man. Since you’ve failed to provide even the faintest sliver of evidence as to how you could possibly find such a masterpiece “unenjoyable”, Occam’s Razor leaves us with no option but to assume you are simply so monumentally stupid you couldn’t begin to comprehend even 4th grade level long division, much less the subtle nuances of the mathematics necessary to the creation of the atomic bomb. What other outcome could you possibly have expected posting such baseless, inflammatory drivel? I hope you stub your toe on your couch every morning for the rest of your life, you doddering ignoramus.

I do not have easy access to an outlet intended for a high voltage device to plug an electric kettle into. Your point doesn’t seem relevant. That is, unless you’re suggesting we pull a frige or stove out from the wall every time we want to brew a cup of tea.

Waterfox and Librewold are both popular examples.

Is proton also a work around for easy anti-cheat now?

Usually, yes. There are reusable pods you fill with coffee grounds now, though.
