This is a wholesome reply, so not saying this to shame or anything, just to inform. I don't think it's something many people realize.
But the statement "we're all Canadians" is quite literally untrue. Many indigenous people do identify as Canadian and that's great. But many others vehemently do not. What's more is their right to self government is enshrined in the constitution, so they are actually sovereign nations living within Canada.
Oh that's not at all what they implied. They implied you shouldn't use the project based on the author's opinions. That's very different from implying the author isn't entitled to their opinions.
Boycotting the software doesn't infringe on the author's rights to have a shitty opinion. It's called consequences for being an asshole.
Did the OP say they couldn't have different views? You must have replied to the wrong comment.

Probably my favourite ARPG. You play as a peasant with no skill, and that actually translates in game. If you've ever rolled your eyes at games where you effortless smash waves upon waves of enemies, this game is for you. Beating even the lowliest grunt can be quite challenging, forcing you to play in ways other than "beat everything up".
The neat thing is the story is not only based on real life events, but all the towns exist (still to this day in the Czech Republic), the geography is super accurate (relative distnace, rivers, ridges, etc) and even the buildings are modelled off the real things (some are still standing, or you can still see their ruins).
This game ticked so many boxes for me, and is a steal at $8
I think you have a very optimistic view on how far crowd sourcing this is going to take us.
BTW, you think web developers aren't already using editors that use AI to generate alt text automatically? AI alt text is going to be everywhere regardless.
Also I'm not saying that's a good thing. It's just an inevitable thing.
I get the principled reason to do this. But most people aren't set up to pirate. And even if they were, it's inconvenient to have games not attached to their steam library. I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of this masterpiece.
If the prospect of pirating is holding you back, just buy it. The game is too good to miss out
Wait, was the any doubt about a conservative majority even before this result?
From the post:
Whether it’s a local or a cloud-based model, if you want to use AI, we think you should have the freedom to use (or not use) the tools that best suit your needs
If your goal is to help people transition to that future, would you engage with the people who are already there?
Maybe try travel? Bring your laptop / deck / switch so you can game on the road. But do it from some place new. If you can work from home, maybe try moving around on short term rentals. Doesn't need to be anything exotic, could be the next town over.
Anything to break up your routine a bit. Don't look at it as a means to an end. Try and enjoy the journey itself
Woah.. So do they also use the name moose? Or did I watch a translated version of the Holy Grail?
A fractured government where things get done with more deliberation and compromise is a feature, not a bug.
