Why start a hate campaign against a person because a petition didn’t get enough signatures?
A single meme or people complaining under articles isn’t a hate campaign. And he was hostile and rude enough right from beginning to earn some clowning.
He spawned a bunch of misinformation that people are repeating to this day every time the petition is mentioned. He was by far the largest negative influence on the campaign. Even if it was always doomed to fail, who would you have OP clown on if not him?
You may consider signing the UK effort, but that isn’t looking chipper either.
It really was a good ole’ internet argument where he was just obnoxiously wrong in his interpretation and remained just as confidently incorrect the entire time.
If you really love something, set it free (software)
7zip doesn’t have a builtin gui on Linux. Your file manager’s “compress” and “extract” functions should be able to utilize it as needed. Only power users need all the bits and dials beyond that, and they can use the terminal to harness all the power of the 7z command.
Update: it’s now been reverted to the original!
Ross specifically didn’t engage with him beyond a comment politely informing him of his mistakes and misunderstandings because he was rude and hostile from the very beginning.
I wouldn’t condone harassing him about this. He didn’t directly engage with Ross either, so we can both respectfully keep our internet bickering separate.
And you shouldn’t. While his resume sounds impressive and I’m sure he knows way more about game dev than I ever could, he too is plain wrong here. He approaches the initiative as “this could never work in the current landscape” while the whole point of the legislation would be to legally obligate changing that landscape, or not sell in the EU. This is how iphones got USB-C, so why couldn’t it work here?
Edit: I meant Ross didn’t engage with him before this as he obviously threw some hands in the latest video
