No! I apologize for not being clearer.

The point isn't that foss has to be cash grabbing

It has to be likeable, lovable. Something that becomes familiar and comfortable as soon as a user starts using it, WITHOUT the nefarious monetization that the corps hang on it.

Think of it as your favorite cookies a friend bakes and gives out for free. Everyone loves them, their I. Demand, and their free

I hope I did a better job explaining my position. I'm not batting A thousand today in that arena lol

People use the web channels that convert to cash. That's what it is. Meta and their ilk have spent billions in marketing and persona research. They know what color makes you press a button and how to stimulate your brain into releasing dopamine when a certain product is mentioned or used.

Here's some free advice to foss enthusiasts and developers.

Products don't get sold because they're better, they get sold because someone wants it. Not needs, wants. A person will put aside need for want.

Make people WANT your product and they'll switch to it. And no, free isn't a good enough tactic

I'm not saying Foss needs to sell its soul, I'm saying that those creators need to find a way to compete in that area.

Love the down voting of what I actually had to do yesterday. Fuckheads.

No wonder Trump's in office

Lol

A person has 35 dollars for the week. Glasses or food for a family?

If you walk up and ask for a pair you can keep because yours were broken, they'll give you them. Don't have to steal. Just be kind.

Safety glasses that are actually safety glasses aren't two dollars

Name names.

This is a terrible, terrible article. poorly written, antagonistic. And I'm not expert.

And this isn't a thing. It's called people making relationship choices. Who fucking cares. It's their choice.

And they need tostop making up new words to be edgy. Sounds fucking stupid. We have plenty of words to use that everyone's familiar with that would perfectly fine to use

Mankeeping. Jesus if the shoe was on the other foot and a man wrote a female aimed term using those same words, they'd be lambasted.

Let me save you all time and tell you what the article REALLY says in a non war of sexes fashion.

As people get older our friends and support systems get smaller , and our partners have to start accounting for that support.

It's hard. Some don't want that. So they stay single, opting to focus on themselves.

See? No need for attacks, name calling, or this article

Fuck em. Tear gas is on outlawed war weapon. They should have been jailed for it's use.

I don't care what reason a cop has anymore. They are liars all of them trained and required to be. That right there takes a certain lack of care for fellow humans

So cops and law enforcement as they are currently practiced are as big a threat as trump.

Until they turn on trump, they are complicit

Good. Let the cowards face their victims

Remember this, service men and women, when you are given your orders to oppress us.

You are also one of the oppressed.
