  • Is there a License that requires the user to donate if they make revenue?

  • The FSF and OSI do not allow licenses that limit corporate leech or restrict profiting of software without giving back.

  • That's the FSF definition. Most users and developers of open source do not care at all about that, and certainly do not care about protecting corporate right to use their software without giving back.

    To many of them, open source is about transparency, community driven development, open contribution model, forkability, etc.

  • it is not FOSS

    If you take the OSI or FSF definition, sure. Not all of us take that definition.

    For many people, the appeal of open source has nothing to do with how easy it is for corporations. It is about transparency, the ability to contribute, and the community driven product as a result. It is about the ability to pick up the project if the original developer stops using it, even decades later. It's about the ease of interfacing with said software.

    Again, you may quote the FSF, but there are too many users of open source, as well as developers, who got into it for the reasons I stated. I can assure you that they are not doing it so that corporations can profit off their software without giving back.

  • Wayfire is not tiling right? I imagine its a similar reason people didn't use open box much. It's a non-tiling window system, and people who go that route tend to to full DE. But I am with you. I wonder why not many more people use them.

    Doas is cool. I actually switched to it shortly before ditching both it and sudo, and deciding to rely on a users/groups system.

  • Most middle Eastern countries do not have arms trade with Israel. This places them morally ahead of Turkey.

  • The growing controversy over Israel’s Eurovision song entry

    Jump

  • These polls are misleading because they ignore many factors. Yes, it's true middle easterners are less likely to proclaim support for LGBT (and that's what the link you provided prices). In Europe (and particularly Eastern Europe), there's the issue of rampant hate violence against LGBT, often even by their own family. This is pretty rare in the middle east. I would consider this a more important issue than that poll reveals.

    This isn't to say the middle east is an LGBT paradise in any sense at all. I still acknowledge it is a homophobic place. Those who are publicly LGBT will unfortunately face rejection and ostracision by society, and most LGBT only keep it secret except to trusted friends and family. Moreover, some middle Eastern governments go after LGBT activists and influencers. I think this doesn't happen much in Eastern Europe anymore (I didn't check every country so I may have missed some).

    In the end, it's not all black and white. Two homophobic nations may still handle and express their homophobia differently, and homophobia may not always be the issue on top of mind. The LGBT cause is not something that's top of mind in the middle east like it is in the west, and in the times where it does come up, it is often about a stupid conspiracy theory of the west trying to force LGBT on them, rather than something internal.

  • Given that Hungary literally bs outwardly said "we don't like euro vision because it's too gay" and Arabs said "because it harbors a genocidal state", then the evidence is clear. You people have this notion that only Arabs are exceptionally homophobic. What more does Hungary have to do for you to stop Arab exceptionalism?

  • The growing controversy over Israel’s Eurovision song entry

    Jump

  • So based on your comment, Arab and north African nations didn't refuse participating because it's gay. It's because the organization harborsca genocidal entity (Israel).

    they would be ok with a song like this?

    Yeah I don't see the issue and I'm an Arab myself. There's homophobia in our land, but I'm not sure why you people act like we're the only exceptionally homophobic place on earth. I sense its a projection of how your nations handled homophobia at its peak. Arab nations are unlikely to have a song like this of their own, but they won't boycott the competition for it.

    most of them would still abstain from Eurovision because of the lgbtq.

    Wrong and you have nothing to prove this :)

    In many of these countries, women arent even allowed to wear a miniskirt

    Wrong. There's probably like one or two countries that do this (depending on how far east you are including). Saudi Arabia is the notable one (the state created by Britain), and Iran if you go that far east.

    Turkey

    Hungary

    Not Arab or north African.

  • I did specifically talk about invading another member state

    Yes, I noticed from the very beginning. That is exactly the hypocrisy I was addressing. :) humanity and ethics must not stop at member states. I actually did not know Libya was a member either until you mentioned it (and googled the date).
