Genuine question, how did you know BDSM but not gimp?
Surprisingly measured comment section on that article (at time of writing). Given how harmless this software is it’s a pretty easy conclusion of “if it puts you in harm’s way, don’t use it”, and as the other commenter here says, it can always be forked if people don’t like the political messaging.


Anyone I talk to about this agrees that the IP theft itself is not a problem but the difference in punishment between the big tech companies and the average person. If someone in a basement had made chatGPT or equivalent, they’d have been put in prison for life, or fined into oblivion. OpenAI does it and suddenly one of the richest companies in the world says “if anyone even thinks about suing or holding them to account we will defend them with our literal army of lawyers”. Then China does it and suddenly IP matters again.
I had similar issues with other distros on old MacBooks, unfortunately it’s the locked down nature of their drivers, especially WiFi. I would have continued to use the hardware as it’s good enough for simple use cases but fighting with custom WiFi drivers isn’t my idea of fun. Gave up and got a second hand ThinkPad a year or two ago, no hardware issues since.
