A lot of the people in my neighborhood are actually pretty friendly, in an idealized-small-town sort of way. But I live in one of those “scary” “inner-city” neighborhoods with The Blacks™ and The Gays™ and whatnot, so it’s a little different for me.

Meanwhile, my Boomer parents, who live out in the suburbs, complain that their subdivision has gone completely to Hell. Funny, that.

Do you? Or do you remember when they falsely claimed to mind their own goddamn business?

Well, you sure sound upset, and you’re downvoting both me and the other guy who replied to you, so…

I don’t mind it being a rule, but I do mind it being a secret. It needs to be mentioned in the sidebar (probably as an addendum to rule #2).

You’re the one who’s upset about it.

Does this community not allow videos? I tried posting a link to it directly yesterday, but Automod removed it instantly.

One of @FauxLiving@lemmy.world’s comments linked to a bug report about it. Turns out the real reason is that Krita uses a plugin architecture that allows additional file types to be supported, so it can’t actually know the complete list of MIME types to put in the .desktop file at application install time.

Krita makes it possible for plugins to extend Krita with additional file format support. Those plugins come with a desktop file that tell the desktop that krita can load those file types. Of course Krita’s main desktop file cannot have the full list of supported file types, because that’s implemented by plugins. Most of those plugins are shipped with Krita, but that is not necessary. People can create extra import/export plugins that still need desktop files so your desktop can know that Krita can load this file format.

I’m not completely convinced that’s a good reason (compared to, say, having each plugin installation modify a single krita.desktop file or something), but I think it manages to upgrade it from “indefensible.”

Why don’t you file the bug report, since you apparently feel so strongly about it? Instead, you’re not even complaining but meta-complaining, which is even worse!

The link text goes to the legitimate video, though.

In a weird coincidence, the Bizarre Beasts YouTube channel just came out with a video about what happened to Japan’s real wolves.

Exactly. The point is not the technical details of the implementation. The point is that their act of capitulation endorsed the concept.

As Free Software developers, they had an ethical obligation to resist and they didn’t.

Weimar-style hyperinflation, here we come!

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck!

The author gives the situation benefit of the doubt that it does not deserve. It is not “mutating” or “creeping;” the ABSOLUTELY INTENTIONAL, ORIGINAL PURPOSE is simply now becoming more and more obvious, even to the people who desperately want to pretend it isn’t happening.

“Everything that contradicts my naive worldview is just ragebait”

Sure, buddy.

Fucking barbaric. Every single one of the law enforcement personnel involved ought to be [redacted].

But that second part is what’s happening. You aren’t getting any compensation for contributing to the training (and no, merely accessing the site doesn’t count), and that data is kept proprietary by Google, not released to the public domain.

No, the problem is that people believe “[concept] on a computer” is somehow magically different from “[concept] IRL” when it’s not.

When you buy a game from Steam, you buy a game, not a license, and the First Sale Doctrine applies just as much as it does if you buy a board game from Walmart. Any claims to the contrary are simply lies, and any government support for such lies is simply tyranny.
