I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It's been a pain but I've managed. I'm just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.
It's not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don't care.
I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.
My first thought was "wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?" No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.
Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.
Edit:
Actually it's worse than that, isn't it? They're seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.
Good luck with that I guess.
I was thinking about this the other day. I support some very, very technologically limited users and I wondered if anyone out there is working on a distro/DE that looks and feels just enough like windows to get them by
I would never have considered this before they announced Recall. Now it feels like I'm waiting to see just how hard they push it
Is it not clear which definition of Crypto he's using?
Linus coming out against cryptography seems so unrealistically silly to me that it's not even worth considering.
It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.
The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.
Google is worse than useless to me now.
How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?
I'll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.
So your solution is to vote in protest for a party you know won't win.
I'm actually curious now, what possible good do you think that's doing?
More like "you think you're helping but you are not"
In a two party system, voting third party will only ever result in your vote being thrown out. It is taking a stand against reality for the sake of your own personal idealism.
A lot of left-aligned voters learned that lesson the hard way in 2016. If you didn't learn the lesson, you either weren't paying attention or your idealism is more important to you than the actual outcome of the vote.
Doing that willingly, despite (or maybe because) the rest of your side screaming at you not to fuck this up again, is absolutely a level of betrayal.

AJJ - People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People
I knew them by their original name (Andrew Jackson Jihad) and was basically given this album as a demo from someone who knew the band.
There is something so raw and real about this album that just did not make it to anything that came later. It was like they gave up the edge that set them apart when they rebranded to make themselves more marketable.
I get it, the original name was bad. Like actually pretty bad. But I also genuinely feel like the name wasn't the only thing they changed.
The "two steps forward, one step back" maneuver. Classic.
