@SteveTheDragon thats not communism or socialism, it is capitalism. Capitalism allows people to give things away for free, and it is their choice under what terms they do so (that is the key). The fact that you can pick 20 different types of open source licenses, or none at all, is capitalism.
If it were communism you wouldnt even have the option to decide to open source your code, the government would just take it from you and then set whatever demands on you they wish on your own code.

XVII( I do not love you)
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
-- Pablo Neruda
this is one of my favorite poems 🙂

That time a philly mob broke into city hall by climbing the gates and brought a keg with them to have a party inside. Now this is how you have a riot!
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.
-- Walt Whitman, Song of myself, 1892
The rewatch was worth it...
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”
Well we are absolutely fucked, there foes the fourth and second amendments right out the window.

Ya that’s why I joined. These guys are serious. A lot to learn here.
@AusOcean We all know they are called octopussies. Little known fact, they are a close cousin of the common house cat which is why we call cats "pussies" as well. An octopus is basically a cat without bones.

South Australia is home to the worlds only known giant cuttlefish aggregation. Or, as we like to call it - Natures biggest orgy 💙

A quick 15 second summary of the Harry Potter series:
A story about a child kidnaped by an old gay guy who secretly has him raised by a physically and mentally abusive family to "toughen him up" so he could convince him to commit suicide when he is older by having another dude who is into necrophilia willfully kill him.
Moreover the old dude was a habitual kidnapper and and we later find out actually kidnapped the necrophilia dude when he was a kid too. In fact he kidnapped him, convinced him he had magical powers, and then after he grew up spent most of his life trying to kill the poor kid he kidnapped before ultimately just giving up and getting the second kid he kidnapped to commit suicide in the off chance it will solve the fucking mess he made.
