I am surprised you found this thread considering how long its been. Unfortunately, she is not into me. However, we became really great friends and hang out a lot. So there is that.
Sci fi or not, I kinda want them to get this one figured out ahead of time. It is kinda like assuming that a convicted felon could never be President. You wouldn't think that rule would need to exist because come on, how could a country possibly want to elect a convicted felon? Its a completely ridiculous notion that could absolutely never happen.
It isn't really about edginess. People tend to continue believing in whatever religious preference (or none) they have unless something convinces them otherwise in whatever direction.
To an atheist's point of view, it legitimately doesn't make sense why someone would be religious when what they see is nonsense. It is a genuine confusion and not necessarily meant to be rude.
This isn't just an atheist thing that happens, religious people can often not understand why someone would ever choose anything other than their religion. It doesn't make sense to them either.
I can't tell what's worse, the thought you just pushed a man to his death, being thrusted under a truck dazed but alive, or the thought you flattened someone you had no way of stopping from hitting. Life altering events for everyone!
I would argue that they are financially motivated to keep proton and Linux gaming going and not just out of the kindness of their hearts. They are competing with Microsoft and their store. When your competition has complete control of the OS you need to run your store on, you are at the total mercy of them. They can't afford not to keep on their current track. Especially now that they are successfully doing it, going back would be a death sentence.
It was a joke about the significant portion of lemmy users also being Linux users. Also that Linux users ( like myself) would be oblivious that somebody could dislike Linux or not be interested. So it is assumed that they must like Linux then and would care about things Linux users care about. With the magic of circular reasoning, you can then say that since they must obviously love Linux that they would then agree with the person and want to hear what they say.
It was a far stretch for a joke but I will stand by it.
That's not really the point. Innocent people have the right to not have their things searched and dug through. Every person has some level of privacy that they want to keep. Let's say you have nudes from your significant other and yourself all over your phone. You don't want that information being seen by anyone else because it was meant for you and you alone. I guarantee your partner doesn't want random people seeing them either.
It is well known there have been bad actors in the IT and police that will make copies of that for their own personal use while they are supposed to be doing something else. Would really want to risk that?
