You are deluded if you believe there are additional responsibilities
beyond what's in the license agreement(s).

That is the typical response of a shallow-minded asshole.

How does one comport ones self in public? The law (i.e. social
license) says little. The law only says that we are not allowed
to bash others over the head (assault) or engage in loud, boisterous
activity (disturbance of peace) but otherwise there is little
guidance.

Yet each of us (except an asshole) is well aware of our unwritten
social responsibilities. We are to behave in a civil manner and
treat others with courtesy and respect.

It's the same with FOSS. Only a fucking asshole would fail to
comprehend.

FOSS is a community and the unwritten law is that each user should
contribute or give back in a way that is equal to what he has received.

Yet leaching organizations (e.g. Ubuntu) foster a climate of leaching.

They should write that in the license then.
Idiot.

If the license says I'm allowed to download and use it then I'm afraid
you can't get upset if sometimes that's all I do.

Why are you having a go at mere users anyway?
Surely it's the people who build Linux in to products that they then
sell for profit that you should be upset about?

The more I look at what you're saying the more stupid you look.

You appear to be saying that the only people who should be allowed to
use a Linux distro are people who have first created a complete Linux
distro all by themselves.

Just spotted the one line you wrote that I agree with.
I don't use Ubuntu for exactly this reason.
I tend to use Debian on the few occasions I use Linux.

You are an antisocial, brain dead and anonymous Troll.
Why should anyone have a serious discussion with you?

I notice he didn't do anything like give us his Github user name so we
can see his contributions.

It looks like you don't know it. It changes pseudo regularly but it's
the same barking dog who posted on cola for years. It's stupidity has no
limit.

It's a Windows user making believe it's using Gentoo, but I don't buy
it. It's to stupid for that. In fact, I don't buy anything it claims.
You can answer it if you really want to have some fun, but if you are
hoping to have a really interesting exchange, you are wasting your time.

I'm pretty sure it's a Windows user who want to make believe every Linux
user is as stupid as it.

I don't use ubuntu because it doesn't suit me. But in fact, for new
users, there are goods and bad things for ubuntu. The bad thing is that
there is snap which is a bad solution for a real problem. The good thing
is that for some computers locked by Microsoft, it can be the only
choice not that hard to install.

Not that anonymous. It changes pseudo but it's style is easy to spot.
It was more in cola, someone sent personal information about it, don't
know how trustworthy it an be (the personnal information, not the
barking dog of course).

> Why should anyone have a serious discussion with you?

You can't have a serious discussion with it. You spotted the problem
before: brain dead.

It contributes to nothing because it claims that others are slowing it.
But I'm pretty sure it doesn't contribute because it's to stupid to
that.

I see how you "comport" yourself in public. You talk about "social
responsibilites" and rant on about "assholes." You're so full of crap it
oozes out your gill slits.

That's basically what his constant trolling amounts to. That and switching
nyms about every time he posts (which I guess he finds "socially
responsible").
