"Confuses new users"

This, he thinks that the users are idiots.

I realized that running a 2010 single-core celeron laptop salvaged from the trash with #Debian for about a week now today has inadvertently signed me up to the #oldcomputerchallenge. I think I will be documenting some of my findings sometime soon in another blogpost.

I was refused to get rapid antigen #Covid19 test at an official site b/c I had no mobile phone number.

I don't understand this hostility I'm seeing around Gargon just because he makes money based on donations, the most innocent of income models.

People pay him because they want to- they're not obligated to in any way, and he's not even offering an exchange.

b) conflate licensing with copyright

c) shoot the messenger, as if by talking about licensing we're to *blame* for making things messy

instead, they were *already* messy

And as I said, the #iOS app is open source. I’ll request a Crowdin project soon. However, just because it’s open source doesn’t mean that we’ll accept any change through PRs. If you want to be sure, contact me first.
