Oh that's not at all what they implied. They implied you shouldn't use the project based on the author's opinions. That's very different from implying the author isn't entitled to their opinions.

Boycotting the software doesn't infringe on the author's rights to have a shitty opinion. It's called consequences for being an asshole.

Did the OP say they couldn't have different views? You must have replied to the wrong comment.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - $8.29 CAD (80% off)

Probably my favourite ARPG. You play as a peasant with no skill, and that actually translates in game. If you've ever rolled your eyes at games where you effortless smash waves upon waves of enemies, this game is for you. Beating even the lowliest grunt can be quite challenging, forcing you to play in ways other than "beat everything up".

The neat thing is the story is not only based on real life events, but all the towns exist (still to this day in the Czech Republic), the geography is super accurate (relative distnace, rivers, ridges, etc) and even the buildings are modelled off the real things (some are still standing, or you can still see their ruins).

This game ticked so many boxes for me, and is a steal at $8

I think you have a very optimistic view on how far crowd sourcing this is going to take us.

BTW, you think web developers aren't already using editors that use AI to generate alt text automatically? AI alt text is going to be everywhere regardless.

Also I'm not saying that's a good thing. It's just an inevitable thing.

I get the principled reason to do this. But most people aren't set up to pirate. And even if they were, it's inconvenient to have games not attached to their steam library. I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of this masterpiece.

If the prospect of pirating is holding you back, just buy it. The game is too good to miss out

From the post:

Whether it’s a local or a cloud-based model, if you want to use AI, we think you should have the freedom to use (or not use) the tools that best suit your needs

If your goal is to help people transition to that future, would you engage with the people who are already there?

Maybe try travel? Bring your laptop / deck / switch so you can game on the road. But do it from some place new. If you can work from home, maybe try moving around on short term rentals. Doesn't need to be anything exotic, could be the next town over.

Anything to break up your routine a bit. Don't look at it as a means to an end. Try and enjoy the journey itself

  1. doesnt have time, unassigns themselves

Because someone else took over, as the person even says in a comment.

  1. Priority gets set lower

Priority got set back to the priority it was at 4 minutes before. The priority being changed was clearly a mistake.

  1. A guy wants to work on it
  2. That guy doesnt work at Mozilla anymore

OK?

  1. The bug went from priority P5 to P1 and doesnt block anything anymore

It got retriaged. There are processes for this and it's totally normal.

This is really bad. Especially as it seems like not that big of a change.

No it really isn't bad at all. And it's a massive change, the linked bug is a meta bug which means it is simply used to track the actual work. See all the bugs in the depends on section? That's where the real work happens and there has been a ton of progress made.

Also believe it or not, lots of discussion happens outside of bugs. You really have no idea what is going on just by looking at bug activity.

I don't hate Apple in terms of privacy. I hate Apple for a myriad of other reasons. Mostly related to locked down ecosystems.
