They aren’t forking US tech because the US tech doesn’t pretend to be open source, so they can’t fork them.

The are building Euro-Office specifically to stop reliance on US tech though, it’s not targeted at once nation, it’s targeted at all nations that try to control tech. Which is mostly the US.

IDK what tangent you’re going on with the other things you’ve said, that’s off topic.

But yea India, like all nations, shouldn’t rely on foreign tech for infrastructure.

I don’t think people are discriminating against Russians. They just recognize that we can’t depend on Russian tech.

Most people don’t have issues with Russians, Americans, Chinese etc.

But fuck all three those countries, and we should not rely on either of their tech, and cut out dependencies on their tech, especially in the government sector.

Wait, how is it racist? This has absolutely nothing to do with race?

Russian isn’t a race, just like South-African isn’t a race.

Yea that’s complete BS

The Open Source community really sucks at naming things

If all they do is force OnlyOffice to no longer use the AGPL3 liscence (or remove those restrictions)

That would damage their brand permanently, they main reason people use OO is because the pretend to be FOSS.

Many of their customers would start looking for alternatives

Thanks I really hope to find someone too, dating sucks 😅

Most of my dates are from Breeze and Hinge, I put in good amount of effort the last ~8 months to get good pictures.

And had some of my girl-friends curate my profile and pick pictures and prompts that they think girls would like to see.

Us guys are often clueless with these things, and what I used to think are bad pictures turned out to actually work the best.

I also don’t chit chat, once I match with someone, I have some playful banter, ~6 messages back and forth, and then I arrange to grab drinks.

I also meet some people IRL, by having friends introduce us or organizing a get together in a park or something, but those take more effort and don’t happen as frequently.

Ah that’s the best tip I’ve seen here thanks, allow them the choice to lead it more spicy or not.

If they’re comfortable with more spicy they might pick that route

Yea sure of course I won’t just start off spicy, but transitioning into spicy is what I’m not yet sure how to do

I specifically made this post because I’m keen to experiment with more risky topics, if it doesn’t work then I’ll adjust or go back to more tame things.

I’m fine not playing it safe, if that puts some people off, that’s fine, I’ve had dates like that in the past and they were great, so want to recreate that.

I obviously don’t want to do this “an awkward foray into “so you ever done coke?”” this whole post is about finding a way to bring up topics you wouldn’t talk about at work, but in a natural or not awkward way. Dates of mine have done this, so it’s possible, and I’d like to figure out how

“You have such a nice face"
(Response doesn’t matter)
“I’d love to wear it”

Certainly will be a conversation to remember

I already do that, but that’s not spicy. I’d have those same conversations with a colleague at work

Same, I already do that, but that’s not spicy. I’d have those same conversations with a colleague at work

Thanks, I’ll check it out

Yea I like her stuff, I’m a casual watcher though.

If she’s a POS I’ll change my mind on her, but I haven’t seen anything that makes her transphobic as some has called her
