Well for a website about a permissively-licensed operating system, the author clearly has no problems violating copyright licenses by using these girl's photos in branding.

Unless you're a teenager or actually writing about kpop that directory full of those girl's images looks ridiculous and screams creep.

There is something to approve. There is a copyright holder and the way these images of the women are being used is a creepy form of advertising.

I guess now I just learned they are members of a Korean girl group. Not sure they'd approve of their pictures being used to promote "linuxreviews.org".

having images of you splashed all over accompanied by statements of how much people like you

If only. These are selfies of women being used in the logo space. It changes to a new selfie every time you reload. Very creepy.

Creepy website. I bet those women didn't consent to having their pictures being used like that. This isn't /g/.

Try explaining that to Rhea from RedHat. She seems to believe the opposite

"A skill perhaps, to which women are born vastly inferior. There are separate categories in physical sports for a reason - men and women are not the same, neither physically, nor mentally. In both ways one could say that women are weaker"

The fact is that we live in a society

My friends in IM told me I was stupid for not "building an email list" for my high traffic website.

Still see no good reason to do it.

Normies galore after that RMS Twitter drama

You're missing the point of free software. You own it and can change it how you like. It's not problematic this is how it was made to be.

Here's two examples of how distros patching software has been helpful for me.

1) SquirrelMail (abandoned) patched to work with PHP 7.3 thanks to FreeBSD contribs

2) Abiword patch builds in the AUR that fix a broken default install.

This "problem" you talk about is not a problem in my view but rather a essential freedom in free software.

People's computers are like their cars we like to customize and mod them because it's cool and remember, you own it so it gives a sense of pride.

You must be joking, she wrote the article silly.

I don't get that at all. She seems like a caring mother. Of course she is going to show them the things she knows. We are only human.

Inspiring. Just when I was thinking our culture is "doomed" the young ones surprise me like this. Wish the best to the family.

New logo needed. The chopped off head is bad luck in parts of Asia.

Sounds good... in theory. Truth is we don't know this, their mail client is proprietary and even if it was open source we still wouldn't know what their servers are logging. I am in a similar situation and I trust Google more than ProtonMail with all that Tesonet data weirdness pointing back to one guy. These shell companies can go and disappear overnight, something to consider.

The condescending attitude is troubling me

"Rosenberg said that farmers usually apply fertilizer once, water the crop and hope it grows. AeroFarms, meanwhile, applies fertilizers many times, adjusting along the way to optimize plant growth"

Not true. Most farmers I grew up around follow the recommended fertilization guidelines provided by their local coop, it's not a one time and "hope it grows" thing.

“I’ve learned how ignorant we are about how to make plants grow.”

Who is we? People who use "we" like this always use it to assume and judge things they feel.

“A plant doesn’t necessarily need 10 hours of darkness,” said Rosenberg. “Maybe it needs 10 minutes.”

Yes it does if the plant is photoperiodic. Many are.

“When you can really play with those environmental factors and all these tools in a big data way in a farm the size of [a] building, it really becomes illuminating of how plants react in different ways.”

Indoor and greenhouse growers have already been doing this forever. Welcome to the club.
