The meadow is lush with a variety of wildflowers, including sunflowers, purple lupines, and pink globes, creating a colorful and diverse landscape. Butterflies are visible, adding to the scene's natural beauty. The sky is clear with a few clouds, and the overall atmosphere is bright and sunny.

There are some applications that are rather tricky to get workign on a Linux platform. The technos will know how to do it but the ordinary punters like me just do without.

But - what I really like is being translated into the open source commons and all the other things that work on the basis of shared rather than locked-down knowledge.

I think it's done in bad faith that 6 years after the incidents which Felix has properly addressed and condemned, that people are still trying to portray him as a bad person (unless something happened recently).

bad apples exist everywhere, but I don't see how Felix is now responsible for it. he has changed.

Yes, I successfully installed a Linux distribution this week on an old 2009 MacBook Pro and gave it new life. Perfect technology to keep older machines very useful. Runs very well.

I will install on my newer MacBook Pro as well.

Oh goody. Finally someone who speaks up for fascists is interested in Linux.

Hooray. What a huge win.

People do bad things and good things. This is a good thing, whatever this person did in the past, and you were right to say so.

You guys know he's a white supremacist?

@rickyx I understand, but it is an easy dilemma and all come down to: "should we praise the good actions of someone who did shitty stuff in the past (or continue to do it)."

I'm on the team of 'yes', especially if the action has impact, well done, and I think this is one path to escape a polarisation/manichaeism effect. But still! Acknowledging and informing about what this person did for context, and sharing about it is also important. My first post was incomplete in this regard.

When XKCD gets explicitly political, I'm reaaaaal nervous about the state of the world.

I don't have links to the actual laws, but there are multiple sources documenting it. Here's a few I grabbed with a quick search. I'm sure you can get specifics if you take the time to search particular states listed here.

@hosford42 @Lassielmr @TenderheartTreasuresKy Well, Ford was a big admirer, who also gave freely to the Nazi cause.

If we go with the stuff that is very well documented:

* the Ford Werke gave Hitler's birthday present 1939.
* the Ford Werke produced about one third of the critical important trucks for the Nazi Army.
* Ford get the highest award Nazi Germany gave to foreigners.
* Ford even was mentioned positively in Mein Kampf.
* Ford was raging antisemitic.
