Open-source software in a nutshell:
"This is great! But it kicks me in the groin every time I use it. I really, really don't want to be kicked in the groin by it all the time."
Responses:
"There is a workaround, but it punches you in the neck instead of the groin, then throws sand in your eye."
"Have you learned to like being kicked in the groin?"
"The developers specifically made it so it would kick you in the groin each time. This is because it is more powerful this way."
"There was a GSoC project to make it not kick you in the groin, but it stalled out because the developer lost interest after the project ended and it was never merged."
"Use this weird fork, but it punches you in the nose instead. And it crashes each time you use it."
"Why wouldn't you wanna be kicked in the groin?"
"It's free, what do you expect?"
"Well, [closed-source competitor] kicks you in the ass instead!"
"Patches to stop the groin kicking welcome."

If it's Firefox:
"We heard you hate the groin-kicking feature. That's why in the next version, we are making it so it kicks you in the ass instead, with code imported from Chrome. Also, you can *technically* opt-out of the groin kicking, the face-slapping, the feature that hits you with a club we just added, unfortunately you can't opt out of the ass-kicking feature..."

@quinta ne sono assolutamente convinto anch’io; anche perché già con Capitol Hill Trump aveva dimostrato le sue intenzioni e fu solo la posizione di Mike Pence che validando i risultati elettorali permise l’uscita di scena di Trump.

@GustavinoBevilacqua @yaw ecco, magari un po' (tanto) meno elitista di una Castalia, essere qui per scelta consapevole sì, ma se la scelta è “perché qui vedo gattini e shitpost dei miei amici (o di perfetti sconosciuti) senza che vengano coperti dai gatti generati dall'ai degli influencer alla ricerca di profitto” va benissimo ugualmente

I've been boycotting Samsung for years now. People outside Korea often seem surprised when I mention this—after all, Samsung is one of the most recognizable Korean brands globally. So let me explain.
It started after I read <cite>Think Samsung</cite> (<cite lang="ko"><ruby>三星<rp>(</rp><rt>삼성</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>을 생각한다</cite>) by Kim Yong-chul, a former Samsung lawyer turned whistleblower. The book exposed systematic corruption, slush funds, and how the conglomerate wielded its influence to evade accountability. It painted a picture of a company that operated as if it were above the law.
But what pushed me from mere dislike to active boycott was the 2015 merger between Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries. This wasn't just questionable corporate governance—it was engineered to help Lee Jae-yong consolidate control of the Samsung empire. The merger ratio heavily undervalued Samsung C&T, and the National Pension Service, despite its fiduciary duty to Korean citizens, voted in favor of it. Korean pensioners lost billions.
The whole affair later became central to the corruption scandal that brought down President Park Geun-hye. Lee Jae-yong was convicted of bribery. And yet Samsung continues as if nothing happened.
I'm under no illusion that my personal boycott hurts Samsung in any meaningful way. But some things aren't about effectiveness. They're about not being complicit.
