Open Source Collective shutting down

This post is unfortunately quite misleading : OpenCollective is not shutting down! The news is just that the Open Collective Foundation, a fiscal host on the Open Collective Platform, is going to be dissolved and that collectives using this fiscal host will have to transfer their funds to another fiscal host.

Terraria developer bashes Unity, donates $200k to open source alternatives

Reply in thread

This is not a great comparison tbh. Unity are not distributing a resource, you could rather compare them to a company building the motor for the car you use. Even as the end customer, their product is clearly perceivable and distinguishable from competitors' products. You don't need to build cars to have an opinion on Unity motors and the ethics of their business. And if they fuck every contractor over and abuse their power in the market to retroactively charge additional fees for every time someone starts a car with their motor in it, of course you would be directly hit with the consequences as a customer. Therefore, it is justified to not leave this discussion to car manufacturers, but to 1. let unity motors know that they can go fuck themselves and 2. to support more ethical motor manufacturers in the future by buying cars built with them.

Faustschläge, Hitlergruß und Beamtenbeleidigung: Neonazi lässt es in Obergünzburg richtig krachen

Holy shit, der Ton wird selbst in meinem langweiligen Kaff Obergünzburg rauer. Ich meine, es überrascht mich wenig, wenn ich daran denke wie erst vor ein paar Monaten der Söder dort im Festzelt eine Bühne für Polemik, Fanatismus und Faschismus bekommen hat und das ganze Dorf in frenetischen Jubel ausbrach. Ich fand meine Heimat mal schön, heute widert sie mich nur noch an.
