Manual curation of great Lemmy discussions and threads

FOSS is great since it can't be leeched for money because it can't be monopolized even as a free service with other means of generating income such as collecting and selling data. So money parasites stay away from them (unless they can steal parts of it to use it as components in their proprietary softwares).
But there are many who try to do so
What about Dessalines, the founder of Lemmy?
I guess that's an exception.
Do you think Dessalines doesn't loath Trump, as much as any other lib/fascist?
I mean, he's to the left of netanyahu, so the assumption among centrists is that he's a trumpist.
Considering the time he, and the rest of the tankies, spend regurgitating Trump/Putin propaganda, and only ever complains about "libs" but never actual fascists, no I don't think so at all.
The biggest criticism we have of libs is that they enable fascism. Naturally, libs interpret calling them out for creating the machine and working with fascists the whole time, then handing the reigns to the fascists as somehow supporting the fascists because the alternative would require self-criticism.

Weekend at Ian's
Imagine waking up one day and saying to your makeup artist "I'll take the cheeto look please!"
More on topic, I can't EVER imagine the republicans open sourcing anything the government has made. There's not a lot of money in open source, or so it would seem.
And even if you tried the Cheeto look for fun you’d probably want to rip your face off the moment you’d look in the mirror
isn't ran
I've got to ask - what is with that conjugation?
I've seen it a few times from Americans in recent years and it just seems bizarre.
Based on the username English might not be their primary language. Either that or they’re a weeb which means they aren’t smart amirite aayyyoo
isn't ran
isn't run
Man, does it get tedious seeing that one
To be fair the present verb and past simple suggests the history of the subject is not neglected in the statement as compared to "isn't run" which is exclusive to the present.
and even if they were there it wouldn't affect the free code they develop
