Elementary receives a million dollar donation

Autistic distros like Gentoo won't go away anytime soon.

Don't be so sure. If they see the chance to appeal to normalfags and stop being the backwaters no one cares about they will take it.

You don't avoid taxes by donating. I mean, you can, but then you lose the money to the org instead of the government - no benefit unless the org is yours.

kys. Normalfags only bring garbage, everyone starts catering to them because they care more about number of users than quality of users and everything becomes worse.

Since when has Gentoo been interested in that specific audience? It's been around for 18 years having the same architectural structure the whole time and you're casting doubt about their inherent mission. I am very sure that they will not change the way they do things.

It's easy to stay in your bubble when you're a big fish in a small pond. It's quite different when you're a small fish in a big pond.

No, things become better because normalfags converge towards something better, it's a slow process and you have to be patient. More users means more stuff is catered towards us.

That's what forks are for you contrarian imbecile.

Trisquel.info won't change.

Just like video games :^)

Yea forks exist. Look at how successful the mozilla forks are.

what if we made a dsitro os that is only systemd and then you cant remove systemd without removing the entire os?

So why is it important for Gentoo to feel that they're a small fish in a big pond? It's not important at all. Gentoo will never have any interest in changing its way for the sake of increasing its popularity.

On archlinux even chromium depends on system==D.

deadmau5?

except or a bunch of crypto billionaire channers

Lennart is the worst thing to come from Germany.

...

So suddenly you care about success? Writing this from a mozilla fork BTW.

The main problem of GNU/Linux becoming a popular desktop OS would be way more malware targeting it
Ubuntu already has all kinds of normo apps built right into it (which isn't that big of a problem imo)

Yes like video games, video games are the only reason people are even bothering to fix the graphics stack.

Success depends on mass appeal, you can't have both.

You're obviously retard, so shut the fuck up before you embarrass yourself even more.

Ubuntu has minimal install now.

You’d be surprised. There are some people out there who can’t think of better ways to spend a million bucks on themselves. The fact they picked Soy OS too is unsurprising.

This. See: Everything Poettering touches.

Yeah, it took two years for them to upgrade to a current stable release. Kek

I wonder if the donor is some clueless oldfag who doesn't realize Elementary is just window dressing?

Do you not understand how much tax breaks you can get for donating to a non-profit?

Yes, GNU/Linux becoming more popular would mean more targeted malware for it,and here's why that's a good thing but because the code is open source and auditing is possible, over time it would become more secure, and even the demand for GNU/Linux security research will increase as its development continues. Apple and MS are such shit partly because they're pajeetware, but also because they sell proprietary code that can only be exploited and never audited. It's a hacker's paradise. iOS/OSX used to be a lot more secure than MS but due to its astronomical market share increase + being closed source, today it is just as much a botnet as Windows.

If this isn't a CIA nigger honeypot then I don't know what it is.

soyface = opening mouth?
(I'm just not an expert in soyboys)

It's part of the multiple characteristics of a soyface.
Basically soyface is a combination of: over excitement + hype + baitclick articles/videos + mouth opening + beard + young adult + political left. You can also pretty much add cuckold to this too.

You'd be surprised horrified at what some people do with their money.

Holy fucking shit this screencap is absurd on so many levels. Absolutely fucking unbeleivable. Imagine being such a sperg that you fap 5 hours a day to your imagined wedding with some ugly streamer from the internet. After then slowly realizing how fucked up you are and moving on with your live...you AGAIN THINK you finally found your wife whom you are spending your remaining inheritance on and conclude with the audacity that the only reason why some random whore that you spent literal thousands of bucks on won't marry you is that you made fun of her eating habits.

Do you have any more caps like that? Reddit soyboy-sperg hating is best hating.

Translating from nigro-marketese to human, this actually means nothing more than "we will ensure lots of RAM and CPU is used, and each button press takes at least 100ms to register".

typical redditor

Why do people say it's unlikely that they're just investing in the project, as clear as that.
What if you're that frustrated with the fact that the quality is poor, that this is what it takes so you do it, because you can. Just like every other philanthropy style investment. Why not.

This made me physically uncomfortable. Good lord.

It was so pathetic I had to stop reading too, hopefully it was a larp.

Many such cases

Mastedon is botnet?

kek what a retard, instead of learning throwing money at women with nothing in return is a bad deal the guy just keeps cucking.

Probably not, but it attracted a lot of unbearable faggots to GNUsocial and then attempted to force GNUsocial to abandon freedom of speech.

Do you know how much tax Amazon pays in the UK? £0. Fucking 0!

Tax break better than that.

People like that don't get millions. just another cuck paying E-hookers.

why do men think they can be friends with women ever?

Good lord. I used to think the whole beta-orbiter thing was a gross exaggeration.

It's an extremely effeminate pose, normal men don't do that.

Fucking titty streamers lmfao

My mind makes the assumption "money laundering". It has to be that way. I refuse to accept another reality.

you really underestimate how "addictive" twitch is.

Your money brain tells you that if a girl hangs around you for hours on end then she's at minimum your friend and likely interested in you. So you spend all your time hanging out with "fictional" people on the internet, your brain unable to understand that the internet exist does it's best to respond to the situation. The situation being that these people who hang out with you are close companions.

As an attractive female who has shown she wants to be around you, your objective becomes to breed with her. To do this you have to show you have resources and she gets a small taste but has to shack up with you to get them. So you donate a little.. you give her some courting fits.. and then you realize she doesn't know you exist because from her perspective you're text on a screen and not a person.

It's not money laundering, it's an environment completely hostile to the way the human brain works.

I've been using it for over a year now and I really like the overall apperance. It's actually less bloated than Ubuntu. RAM usage afer boot is around 650 to 700MB. Will install the new version which is in beta testing right now.

So, if I fork a lot of open source projects I will get money?
A DE build on GTK+ has no future.

GTK is awesome. But you don't know that, you're a Qt shill who never wrote a single Qt application. GTK has so much great concepts (especially signals) that make GUI design a breeze. With Qt the only option is to use a GUI designer and end up with 20 QML files.

Lol, Qt sucks too. It's not even standard C++.

lol

O god the soy

muh bloat

Technically Poetteringd comes from Guatemala.

Soy posting, on my Zig Forums? It's more likely than you think.

bet the CIA niggers did this.

also manchildness

How is that a soy posting?

To think in that mindset, you'd have to be a soyboy. Anyways since you're owning up to this, and it's all anonymous here, how much money have twitch girl streamers taken from you? How long did it take you to stop entertaining your fantasy?

I’m curious as well. I’d never see myself getting sucked into that money trap, but stranger things have happened.

Another one I don't get are camgirls. Guys spend thousands on them, when you could find the same girl or better on any number of streaming porn sites. Is it all for those little "thank you's"?

Also porn is degenerate and you shouldn't view it.

Ok, not bad
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is there a worse thing one can give money to? Maybe donating proprietary software or systemd?
Giving money to elementary OS is like giving money to a homeless.

The software itself is bloat but I don't think it's botnet. The developer is part of the nigger cattle and his decisions only amplifies it, he's also part of a datamining scheme on his instance and there's more with the search tool that he's trying to push. He's was also manipulated into adding blocklists and other negative features which really damaged the idea of federation.

If I had to guess, it’s the thrill of making a girl do something sexual, even if you are paying for it. Like if a girl starts fingering herself because of you, I guess that’d be sexy. I’ve never really even gotten off to girls pleasuring themselves so I wouldn’t know. The social element is there, however.

I think twitch streamer fags are even sadder because you’re paying for synthetic attention from a girl. Not even sexual, though titty streamers are a thing. It’s just all in all sad.

Yeah whatever. Porn addiction is degenerate, I’ll give you that. I don’t buy into Victorian notions of morality.

I've never donated a single penny to a female streamer. I don't watch female streamers.

I understand this mind set because evolutionary psychology goes in depth about family in group and out group. If you put a man on TV in your home every night your brain considers him part of your family. It's simply time+positive experience = bond. In Twitch's case you have a woman talking directly to you so you form an even stronger bond. It's why you have so many betas orbiting on Twitch like this. She's cock teasing them with attention and they're so lonely or desperate for attention they fall for it. It's like if you introduce a chick into a nerd tabletop group, it becomes an instant vipers pit to win her favour.

Depends on what they're after. They may have a niche fetish and they want to build up to it before they reveal it to her. Some are just idiots who get their jollies watching a girl fap and interact with them. You're ultimately forming the twitch bond while also getting sexual signals in the brain. Sort of like an eternal foreplay I suppose. I don't get this myself.

All porn is degenerate because it destroys your sense of self worth at both ends of the spectrum. Your brain goes "dude, you've for 10,000 chicks naked for you right now! you're a fucking stud!" and on the other end you're wasting energy jerking off which limits your drive to get laid and have a family. This drive being weakened then has to contend with your Harem sense telling you you're fucking all these hot birds and it would be stupid to settle down with just one chick.

And porn influences your sex life. If your thing is anal and you're watching anal sex every day you're going to end up moving up to fisting or some other more extreme act. This then becomes something you want in real life, which isn't realistic for most sex lives. Porn made you want the porn experience rather than the real experience. It's the same way men pay for the girlfriend experience because the only relationship they could get would be shitty. Fictions just better and you have the money/unlimited access to porn so you prefer that and neglect reality.

Now fuck off back to whatever commie shit hole you came from. You have to smear your own feces on your face and tell everyone you're so enlightened by having the moral standards of a barbarian goat fucker.

I was just having a laugh mate.

...

mods being faggots as usual

Actually tax writeoffs are specifically made so that in the end the richest are paying less taxes. Some of them go ahead and donate to a real nonprofit, most of them donate to their friend schlomo's nonprofit in exchange for (((benefits))).

ok actuall it's 571, just wanted to verify my guess

3DPD isn't worth it. Not everyone should breed; too many CIA niggers are spreading as a result.

They already use a premade gentoo with spyware built in. It's ChromeOS.

My fucking sides. At least he had the good sense to fuck off and stop orbiting the slut after he learned the truth.

This, Elementary was just backdoored. This is on top of the Ubuntu backdoors and the backdoors they shoved into Debian after Ian (((died.)))

Cool, but shame they receive it after they fucked up the design entirely, like really, my first GNU/Linux distro was elementaryOS Luna, and it was fucking awesome, but what they did with freya and loki... holy fuck, how can you fuck up that bad? only thing that was missing in Luna was couple bugfixes ;_;

But we make cool anime girls!!!!!!!
