Kind of goes against the underlying principles of FOSS to hire a team to work on a project. Not that all FOSS work is volunteer based, but once something becomes an incentivized project the FOSS part starts to become a bit ambiguous.

As someone who makes a living supporting servers running various forms of software, almost all of which is open-source, even just the things I know of the top of my head have large dependency trees. Just look at a base install of Ubuntu, you probably have no less than a thousand projects supporting the system. That doesn’t even begin to include additional functionality, install PHP or Python, even just system drivers, and you can easily double or triple that count.

Make a list of all the FOSS/OSS things you use in your daily life

I wasn’t prepared for a project of this magnitude, seriously OSS is everywhere

If this isn’t proof of a dystopian reality, what is?

No corporation wants to support a progressive party. No one profiting from corporations want to support a progressive party. There goes 99% of the wealth in America.

She can’t interfere, her job is to monitor and observe and only stop Haruhi if she’s going to endanger the universe. So even with the ability to stop her, she can’t do anything by the code of her position.

As annoying as it was to slog through the episodes (I think I went through 5 of them before realizing I wasn’t missing much skipping the other three), there is something to be said about how much it captures that feeling of uselessness that Kyo and Yuki have. Kyo begins to realize each time and Yuki is forced to be aware through each repetition. Haruhi is so powerful that she creates an endless time loop, that was both amazing and terrifying.

What’s funny is that watching The Endless Eight already feels like you’re watching 93,884,313,611 episodes of Haruhi

The article doesn’t implicate cars as the main reason, or even necessarily indirectly, it does mention climate change which can be linked with cars but I think it’s secondary to the abundant use of pesticides and general attempts to reduce bug populations than cars themselves.

That being said, fuck cars.
