I can have sympathy for people with more money than me, but not for their financial situation, because their finances are objectively better than mine will ever be, and I'm not feeling sorry for myself.

The Kim dynasty.

Won't someone think of the poor multimillionaires?

I any know about that, but it's the basis of a lot of English/American law. It codified Habeas corpus, for example.

It just sounds like they didn't understand the relationship between Forgejo and Codeberg. I didn't either into I looked it up just now. IMHO their comment is best interpreted as being about Codeberg. People running their own instances of Forgejo are tangential to the topic at hand.

Or just make authenticated requests. I'd expect that to be well within with capabilities of anyone using MELPA, and 5000 requests per hour shouldn't pose any difficulty considering MELPA only has about 6000 total packages.

What has Microsoft extinguished lately? I'm not a fan of Microsoft, but I think EEE is a silly thing to reference because it's a strategy that worked for a little while in the 90s that Microsoft gave up on a long time ago because it doesn't work anymore.

Like, what would be the purpose of them buying GitHub just to destroy it? And if that was their goal, why haven't they done it already? Microsoft is interested in one thing: making money. They'll do evil things to make money, just like any other big corporation, but they don't do evil things just for the sake of being evil. It's very much in their business interest to be seen as trustworthy, and being overly evil runs counter to that need.

I'm an atheist and I also think you're a poser.

I think a lot of the classic rock vibe was about being anti-establishment, with little or no care for the actual ideas behind it. MAGA people see themselves as anti-establishment (despite, you know, everything), so it makes sense that a lot of the more superficial classic rock people would adopt it as their persona.

I didn't think that was the kind of freedom they were referring to.

And "made" is relative. I'm an atheist, so I skipped the "under God" part. I was in a pretty liberal school district so I'm sure I could have gotten away with not doing it at all, but peer pressure is a hell of a drug.

...and then history.

I think the abundance of trans women (≈ women who were raised as boys) is proof the social conditioning the only factor in why there aren't more women in STEM fields. Women love this shit just as much as men, but they're actively steered away from it.

(Yes, women face other challenges beyond lack of exposure, but I think all of them can be traced back to social factors as well, such as how men are conditioned to treat women.)
