Then build a new condo there because of the rich culture and force the festival to shut down at the new location.

I've had to deal with gentrification before, the only time I've seen it lose was when someone took a tractor and ploughed asbestos into the ground around the proposed site. The clean up costs were in the billions and the projects died because of all the bad publicity. The site getting known as the toxic exclusion zone was just the cherry on top.

You can embrace acceptance that people are different and realize that differences make some people better and worse for certain things.

I find it astonishing that blatant abelism like yours is acceptable in polite society.

You can embrace acceptance that genders are different and realize that differences make some genders better and worse for certain things.

You can embrace acceptance that races are different and realize that differences make some races better and worse for certain things.

When I can call you sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist and a nazi before breakfast addressing the issues misses the point of why the issues are being raised.

Pretending that these people have any morals past gathering power is as stupid as pretending that the mob burning down your restaurant is your fault for not installing enough sprinklers to put out napalm.

FreeCAD 0.19 5 years ago

That sounds like 3 years of work given how much it has improved between this version and 0.14 which is the last one I used extensively.

There's a list of quotes just as wrong for spacex.

The issue isn't the predictions. It's the time frames he makes the predictions about. We will have everything he's said one day, but in the mean time we need to call him out for what he's done: lying, and why he's done it: to get money.

I don't get how people can think like this.

I buy a SF house and start paying the SF mortgage with my SF salary, I spend the next 10 years living there with a cost of living that's around 40% higher than Texas.

At the end of it I sell at SF market rates and move to Texas. I now have an extra $1.24m even if prices didn't increase by a cent.

"Open source" and "free software" have always been mostly interchangeable and have since their inception not simply meant "source available".

Free software was coined in the 80s. I wasn't there for that.

Open source was coined in the 90s because we didn't want people to think that software which let you see the code was free of charge.

Then when they sold out a bunch of tech bros from SV decided that they knew best and redefined open source to mean whatever made their valuations go to the moon. The plan did work as expected because dot com crash.

The people around the OSI have always been share croppers that have been trying to get paid for other peoples work.

Different words for different things is good, in my opinion.

And yet people are fighting tooth and nail to redefine open source to mean OSI approved licence instead of using OSI approved license to mean OSI approved license.

To see why just change the thread title: What’s up with these new non-OSI approved licenses?

It's an article that you can have a reasonable debate about without stacking the deck against the people you're arguing against. Which is why the people who make money by stacking the deck are so dead set to redefine the word to mean exactly what makes them the most money.
