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 don't hate Apple in terms of privacy. I hate Apple for a myriad of other reasons. Mostly related to locked down ecosystems.
How can costs only be $600 / month. Do they not pay themselves? I guess that's admirable, but it doesn't set a good precedent. Will any young developers read this and internalize that they shouldn't ask for money? OSS maintainers deserve to get paid for their efforts.
I'm not American and I almost never read the Times, so I don't have first hand experience. But I hear the same rhetoric about outlets here in Canada.
My take is that yes, outlets can have bias on certain issues, but that doesn't mean we should write them off completely. Trust in media is at an all time low, journalism is struggling to survive. There's no media outlet in the world that doesn't make the kinds of mistakes that you outline here. The key is how do they respond to them after the fact. Do they issue corrections? How quickly? Where do they put them?
Some of your 'evidence' also doesn't seem like journalistic malpractice. For example, are they obfuscating poor sources, or not revealing an anonymous source? The latter is not malpractice. The former doesn't sound bad either.. Who decides if a source is poor? Maybe the source didn't have much to contribute so that's why there wasn't much detail on their background. I'm not arguing that you're wrong, just that as an outside observer that point doesn't seem very bad.
Anyway, I do think it's important to be aware of any biases in the media we consume, so conversations like this are important. But my fear is that if the conclusion is to wholesale stop trusting the media anytime they make a mistake or a bias is revealed (I.e all media outlets), we're going to be even more fucked than we already are.
Here's my headline: Why obsessing over battery degradation is unhealthy and you should just do whatever is easiest for you
I mean if you've beaten the main line and faction quests, you've likely put in at least 80 hours. If you had fun, that's pretty good value. Why does it need to be longer?
I got bored after 30 hours, but had a good time. I'm not complaining. I'll probably come back to it eventually.
You can't give UBI to a subset of people. Then it's not universal anymore.
But if you did give artists a basic income, how much art would they need to produce to qualify? What qualifies as art? The law doesn't do well with those kinds of questions.
Better to implement true UBI. Give it to everyone, and afford more security to folks who want to focus on art.
Why bother even trying when you can be sure you'll be bullied by whatever monopolies dominate your industry while our politicians stand idly by.
Our governments are only interested in keeping the established companies healthy and strong. It's mind bogglingly short sighted.
A fractured government where things get done with more deliberation and compromise is a feature, not a bug.
