Taxing corporations a lot more, is the only way to avoid dystopia. A small island country with 100 factory workers and similar number of supporting jobs/businesses, replaces all the factory workers with robots. Suddenly, no income tax from half the population, with half the population in need of assistance.

Is there kibble with low, almost no grain percentage? For dogs there are decent options.

I cannot tell if you are trying to express agreement or disagreement, and I cannot be bothered to check your history to try and deduce which.

If it was supposedly in agreement, then I'd politely suggest you go romance a goat. Rejecting logical fallacies is not the same as disagreeing with the point they failed to make.

I'm genuinely curious. What do you mean by "We’re going to remember you collaborators."? Feel free to explain in depth, because it sounds awfully like a threat, and I've always wanted to have some dialogue with a terrorist (in the literal, dictionary definition of one, that is).

Lol. You throw out logical fallacies, then immediately play martyr. It's just too good.

Naah, you see. There is a different point of view that you aren't considering. If you cannot correctly identify racism, all you're doing is making noise. Which is perfect, if you'd rather quibble over bullshit and ban episodes of Community, while systemic racism is everywhere in the US.

Also, of course it didn't bother anyone, since it had fuck all to do with racism. That's kinda my point. Racism is a very real thing, and a very real problem. So people who want to make a fuss about these things can go fuck off and see if they can't figure out what racism actually is.

PS: I'm also not bothered in the slightest if I name the branch main or master. I'm not sure if you'll believe that. What I do take offense is the failure to identify that this in fact, has nothing to do with racism.

PPS: Feel free to downvote me and move on. I'm annoyed that I brought it up.

Yeah, ok bud, go fuck yourself.

Why's that? Why did you take offense at that in particular? Surely you're not a white dude who's been offended on behalf of someone else on this very topic, right? It would be somewhat amusing in this otherwise pointless endeavour. How dare I belittle the importance of this "good deed" that made you feel good about "doing something"? Do you have to do something else now? Sheesh. Wasn't that enough?

Sure. But, people still know what the words mean, right? You don't get offended by all the racism in Uncle Tom's cabin, and want to ban the book, right? You wouldn't get offended if someone cosplayed as a black elf, would you?

Or, maybe you would. People are, after all, fucking morons. Myself included. I don't really care if I have to call a branch main or master, just so that's clear. But it's 100% a stupid reason for the change, and anyone who thinks that matters in any way, I'll think less of, and probably avoid in social settings.

After outcries from a bunch of attention deprived individuals with, I'm sure, little melanin, GitHub changed their naming convention of the master branch from master to main. Because apparently, some haven't mastered the English Language, and definitely don't have a master's degree in etymology. Which is fine, maybe they studied music and became a maestro. Maybe they became a master craftsman instead, or ended up as a teacher, and eventually headmaster. Who knows? Anyways, where was I? Ah yes, people are fucking morons.

What permissions does the extension need to work? Then, what is the maximum level of damage a malicious update to said extension can do with those permissions?

You are absolutely right (in how it should be in a functional democracy). I also think you might not be aware of how close to fascism the US is. It really is one political party very clearly saying this, and making public a plan for how to do so, which might very well work.

I'm not. You implied that my point was that it was easy to write OpenOffice, or the equivalent. From the context, it should have been obvious that this wasn't my point, and I'm not interested in entertaining such straw man arguments, and my responses tend to be rude. Apologies.

I don't feel like paraphrasing myself either, but in the spirit of good intentions: I made the comparison that document productivity software is orders of magnitude simpler than something like Blender. If you disagree on this, that's fine. Inferring that this means productivity software is easy, that's all on you.

If you read what I wrote, in context. I'm sure you can get a better idea of what I meant, than what you're implying here.

should also see what they can do to make Microsoft improve/fix their ODF implementation since it is an ISO standard. There has to be something to get that ball rolling.

The answer to this should be the same as when some standard S is implemented in software X, Y, Z. If Z doesn't follow the standard, blacklist it until it does. That's the whole point of having a format standard, that it shouldn't matter what software you use.

If people, companies, institutions and governments have this stance and attitude, MS will need to compete on actual user experience, and not degrading the UX of the competition.

They'd get their shit together mighty fast. I'd expect them to lose too. Software to edit documents isn't complicated. If we can have things like blender, which I'd say is about 3-4 orders of magnitude a greater endeavour, for which use case has the inverse potential user base, it's pretty obvious that the only reason that MS Office is a thing (i.e. in raking in billions in license fees... 49 billion USD in 2022), is shady business practices.

It still pisses me off that in my country, when they had a group of experts make the evaluation of which document standard to follow, all experts agreed on ODF. But, because of shady MS money being thrown around, they ignored the recommendation, and went with DOCX.
