Depends on the license I suppose.

Is not using Adobe a realistic option in professional settings atm?

Just go on Khan academy and do a lesson a day. It will take time(years) but you’ll learn.

RCS, Signal, or Lemmy

I wish. But I don’t know a single person that uses any of those.

Google the history of xmpp. This is exactly the same.

It’s not a good thing.

the recipe may be visible to all, but the chef’s expertise in crafting and adapting the dish, as well as the dining experience provided, is what customers pay for.

I mean, you cant ctrl+c ctrl+v the dish. That’s the difference. If anyone could ctrl+c ctrl+v meals I think most restaurants would go bankrupt. Right?

When software is open-source and monetized, it strikes a critical balance. Users gain the freedoms associated with FOSS – the liberty to run, modify, and share – while developers receive the financial recognition for their contributions.

I never understood how these two concepts can coexist.

Lets say you made something FOSS and sold it to one person. Can’t that person just… redistribute it for free? Which kinda makes you trying to make a living out of selling it much much more difficult or downright impossible?

No, we are sad because the decrease in posts lately have left behind the worst parts of reddit.

How so?

They obviously were landing pads for alien ships.

my computer?

“Your computer?” – Microsoft probably

Not gonna lie. This is the kind of tech illiteracy people are talking about.

In the specific case of setting up Jellyfin, it takes about 10 minutes, you do it once, never have to do it again, and it has no programming skill requirement to it.

These services google offer thrive on ignorance of alternatives, they’re not any easier to use than the alternatives.

I feel most of these issues are just due to how small the userbase is.

If it’s not obvious those rules are in place to punish women. Not to protect. They will never ever be applied in a protective way. That’s not what they were made for.

Entirely agree with everything you said. I never implied otherwise.

My entire comment was replying to this:

but there shouldn’t be divisions based on sex or gender.

There absolutely should. Reasoning: in my previous comment above.

Only counter argument I can give you is have a bit of empathy.

Imagine that you were a young girl and saw this game. Chess. And you wanted to learn how to play.

The first person you asked was your mother and she told you oh that’s a boys game. But you still wanted to learn.

So you decide to just read up on the rules. You don’t really know anyone that plays. So you just kinda play vs yourself and redo. Old GM matches you found in old magazines. None of them are like you btw. They all seem like old men that live on the opposite side of the world.

You really like the game tho. And eventually you realize oh. There are actual clubs/tourneys near here I can go and play with actual people!

You go. And there’s not a single girl there. Because of all the hurdles you had to jump. Most others that would have been interested just quit.

So you get there. You are obviously underprepared because you didn’t have the support system that made learning it easy. Because of that you just get wrecked.

In addition to that you probably will have to hear some dumb jokes. That if you didn’t have such a rough patch to get there in the first place they might have been funny to you. But they aren’t. They just felt like you were being punched down.

Having exclusive tournaments and leagues is a very minor way of rectifying awful historical disparities. It’s not perfect and it’s not a solution by itself. But it’s absolutely needed.

Being a minority in any social setting brings difficulties that others just don’t otherwise face.

Having a women’s category for chess is a way of creating a safe environment for everyone to thrive.

They do pay me for it actually, in in-game currency,

That’s somehow even worse.

What’s the conversion rate between the dollars you are making them and the schrute bucks you are being paid ?

Not gonna lie. I think most people just don’t want work for free for some company’s benefit.

Why are you providing a service for some live service game that doesn’t pay you for it ?
