I don’t want to have children, but if I knew I was going to get Alzheimer’s at 65 I would plan to leave this world at 64.

Indeed, it is in reference to its long wings, not a penis. There are several other insects and birds whose scientific names include this term.

Maybe if we didn’t spend all our money on… whatever this is, money wouldn’t be so tight.

I don’t agree with this position but I also don’t agree with the attacks against them for having this position. It’s not “pathetic” that they don’t implement features you want. The point of free (libre) software is that you don’t have to share the position of the upstream developers, as you can make a fork that has the features you want. That is what has happened with NewPipe.

It’s not okay to pretend your software is open source (Drew DeVault, 2018)

Making it more difficult to actually break the system is a good thing, insofar as it does not actually restrict the freedoms of the users who know what they are doing. I think the fix introduced by PopOS:

To prevent such incidents in the future, Pop!_OS patched the APT package manager. Now, POP!_OS won’t be able to enter “Yes, do as I Say”. Instead, they will have to add a special a file to enable it (if someone really wants to remove the packages).

is reasonable, because the user can override the protection if they really feel they need to (and know what they are doing, of course).

People are going to complain no matter how they try to make money, but this should at least have been opt-in with clear consent. The alternative of course is being beholden to Google search referrals. They can’t photosynthesize funds.

Vivaldi, Brave, and their stans are getting their pitchforks ready, forgetting that they don’t have to do the hard work of developing an engine because Google already does that for them.

Being a free software GNU distribution is also the point of Guix, and it’s part of what attracted me to it (although its practical abilities are nice as well).

You’re being heavily downvoted because this instance is “a community of free software and privacy enthusiasts” as the title on the front page suggests, and this in particular is the !opensource@lemmy.ml community. Discord is the complete antithesis of this, as it is a proprietary application locked to a centralized server that also spies on its users.

That being said, there are modern alternatives to IRC, such as Matrix, XMPP, Zulip, Mattermost, or RocketChat. However, I think IRC is fairly good at what it does.
