Well for a website about a permissively-licensed operating system, the author clearly has no problems violating copyright licenses by using these girl's photos in branding.

Unless you're a teenager or actually writing about kpop that directory full of those girl's images looks ridiculous and screams creep.

There is something to approve. There is a copyright holder and the way these images of the women are being used is a creepy form of advertising.

I guess now I just learned they are members of a Korean girl group. Not sure they'd approve of their pictures being used to promote "linuxreviews.org".

>having images of you splashed all over accompanied by statements of how much people like you

If only. These are selfies of women being used in the logo space. It changes to a new selfie every time you reload. Very creepy.

Creepy website. I bet those women didn't consent to having their pictures being used like that. This isn't /g/.

The fact is that we live in a society

My friends in IM told me I was stupid for not "building an email list" for my high traffic website.

Still see no good reason to do it.

Normies galore after that RMS Twitter drama

You're missing the point of free software. You own it and can change it how you like. It's not problematic this is how it was made to be.

Here's two examples of how distros patching software has been helpful for me.

1) SquirrelMail (abandoned) patched to work with PHP 7.3 thanks to FreeBSD contribs

2) Abiword patch builds in the AUR that fix a broken default install.

This "problem" you talk about is not a problem in my view but rather a essential freedom in free software.

People's computers are like their cars we like to customize and mod them because it's cool and remember, you own it so it gives a sense of pride.

You must be joking, she wrote the article silly.
