Take a number

Reply in thread

Have you ever waited in line for an order, with a ticket, and it seemed like you got skipped? I assume that was a coincidence, and probably your order just took a little longer, or the ticket numbers aren't in order anyway. This comic jokes that it's intentional to spite you.

Crit Success

Hmm I'm mixed on this, you could see it as homophobia, but just the hero falling in love with the BBEG in itself could cause the exact same comic, no? In which case making either a woman could have misogynistic implications instead.

Without knowing the author I like to think they're making the "hero seduces BBEG" joke, just more inclusive because it's gay now.

Petition to formally recognize open source work as civic service in Germany

I assume only German citizens can sign this? I upvoted here if that helps, because it sounds like a great initiative, maybe if this gains traction this can go europe wide?

The difficult part is measuring work done I'm afraid though. For volunteer work as e.g. reading books to kids or cleaning streets it's relatively easy to see that things are happening, even if some are better/faster than others. Unless you're going to force people to work in live calls or whatever, or just trust self-reporting, that's going to be hard, no?

Or do you mean more like subsidies for nonprofits working in open source?

Either way, good initiative, I hope for its success!
