There is no ethical obligation. You just want them to release new work under open source licence.

They already had. And for what purpose you think?

They gave code for free, under open source, but you call them assholes if they do not release more code for free. So who is the asshole here? You or them?

Nestle started a charity to give free baby formula to mothers in African villages. Once they all stopped producing milk, they stopped the charity and made the formula so expensive it was barely affordable.

Also oh-my-posh supports transient prompt and AFAIK starship.rs does not.

"Transient prompt, when enabled, replaces the prompt with a simpler one to allow more screen real estate." https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/configuration/transient

Here is my config for oh-my-posh https://github.com/rofrol/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/oh-my...

I have found this old comment:

* Battery life is a lie, especially since it drains almost as much battery closed as it does open.

...

Overall, I think I am probably going to switch back to a macbook after this, not being able to go a day without charging and your laptop always being on low battery is a bit anxiety inducing.

They must have a bug, because my System76 laptops drain way less with the lid closed than my Macbooks.


@cthalupa

> Trump didn't even get half the popular vote. That's not a mandate.

I think you confuse USA with some other country. Read about electoral votes.


I didn't say he wasn't elected. I said he didn't have a mandate.

If he did not secure even half of the popular vote then it is obvious that the median voter does not align with his views.


"Not even half" is being intentionally misleading: He did get more than his main opponent, by over 2 million voters.


No.

We are explicitly talking about a mandate - the will of the median voter. Someone who did not receive even half of the popular vote is not representative of the median voter.

Just winning is not enough to receive a mandate.


Mandates would come from popularity, not from weighted numbers.


I just had to check since I am admittedly sick. Even wikipedia has mandate[1] as

"mandate is a perceived legitimacy to rule through popular support. Mandates are conveyed through elections, in which voters choose political parties and candidates based on their own policy preferences."

Even if we play around with concepts here, in a very, very practical sense, if the mandate is conveyed through elections, at least at the very beginning of the administration, that administration has a mandate to govern. Now.. this perception may change, but you can't honestly tell me this administration has no mandate for one simple reason:

If it does not have a mandate, neither of the previous administrations did.

> If it does not have a mandate, neither of the previous administrations did.

I would agree with this. I think the last time an administration had a clear mandate was Obama's first term.

Every election since then the margin has been to small too clearly say that their policies reflect the will of the median voter.


Mine roast:

- Spends so much time talking about Zig that even their keyboard autocorrects 'big' to 'zig' - Has probably spent more time configuring Nix than actually using the software installed with it - Could write a PhD thesis on build systems but still can't build a consistent sleep schedule

:D
