  • This is a rare case of an accessibility feature often being someone's roadblock...

  • It would be nice if the default wasn't being on, or it asked during installation or something.

  • That would be good, except my work doesn't allow me sleeping in a timeframe more suitable for me, also I'm on a medication quite infamous for ruining people's sleep (Depakene) with no way for me to switch (health care is terribly underfuded, and doctors don't have time for "checking out a thing that could be fixed with a mattress").

  • Political sadism isn't viable on the long term. On the short term, you can rally up your supporters to be cruel against your political enemies for cruelty sake. On the long term, it breeds emotional instability.

  • We need a federated game launcher platform!

    Some guy on Mastodon already made some framework for achievements, so it's not undoable. Issue would be a copy protection, which depending on your standpoint, either is completely malicious, a necessary evil, or a mandatory thing for anything other than a free game made as an experiment. Having an open source copy protection method would immediately guarantee a workaround, the best we could achieve is to disable some official servers, achievements, etc.

  • They also seldom moderate hatespeech in Hungary, especially when it comes to government ads...

  • In fact, under a lot of authoritarian systems, the ruling class has no rules to follow, or they're symbolic and vague.

  • anarchy is a state

  • Issue is, Elon Musk has a lot to gain by allowing hate speech on his platform.

    There's a strong correlation between hate speech and wanting to give corporations both tax breaks and absolute power.

  • Walter Bright had a lot of back and forth over the Digital Mars C compiler and Symantec.

  • Nowadays, there's a lot of AI used in advertising, often advertising nonexistent products.

  • Mixed with the attitude of Eric Cartman. Most of them aren't even interested in their own well being, but instead how they can harm other people, even if they're getting screwed over in the process. If I wrote a character in a book like that, I'd be trashed for writing yet another psychopath, but here we are with a lot of people that act like Hollywood psychopaths, that are voting, and even outside the US. Fidesz is pretty much being held in power by the utter sadism of a bunch of ultra-authoritarian people, even met some of these kind of people within the Polish far-right and some Israeli Netanyahu voters.

  • My first encounters with it were very rough to say the least. Developers getting used to the jankiness of the graphical user interface (if they had one), was commonplace, and often I was pulling my hair when I was forced to use older versions of Blender and similar productivity software, and any suggestions for UI improvements were met with massive resistance from the developers, due to wanting to avoid "spoonfeeding", and "not introducing users to write their own shell scripts, thus making them lazy and never discovering its feature of automating complex tasks".

    However, this changed when I started to get into drawing and downloaded Krita. It showed me that open source software doesn't have to be an absolute nighmare to use, and not hiding handy but less-commonly used features behind a barely documented CLI. Even Blender became more usable in my experience than many more expensive 3D rendering software.

  • Mario, I'm 12, I have a dier now!

  • Needs more beans and Stör.

  • Sometimes, you're bombarded with stupid ideas from boomers, and at one point, you've to at least partially give in...

  • Police katana of the gun world.
