What did he say

Apparently xrel.to doesn't always have films listed, IMDb does. I couldn't even find Boefje

There seems to be a pretty universal consensus view in leftist spaces that pejoratives based on marginalized groups are a form of microaggression and/or discrimination towards that group and should therefore be avoided. I'm wondering if you disagree with that general principle,

Yeah I guess so. No need to walk on egg shells just to live a little.

or do you just have a problem with the word "retarded" being included in the set of problematic pejoratives?

Both?

How did he dodge the lawsuit

Ok moral agent of the status quo

Way out of line dude. Stop imposing your morality as the gospel. And you again misinterpret what I said. Who is gonna be the arbiter of what words are harmful? That line can be a slippery slope.

And the use of retarded was directed at something, not someone, in case you missed that.

I feel like you have the impression I lean towards a radical view of free speech, but I have not alluded to that. So hold your horses. I simply stated I was hesitant to donate to an instance that banned users based on the use of the r-word. I wasn't looking for an alternative, I simply talked about an idea I have had.

That's not the kind of filter I'm talking about. I mean that all content in still there and accessible (to everyone) but only hidden depending on user's settings/preference. This should not require manual labor, if filter is functional enough. That way it's not outright removed, preventing said consequences of potential biased censorship.

I'm not saying said filter is easily implementable but theoretically it'd be the best solution I think.

Perhaps a filter on the user side is better than to outright censor things. Then you preserve the free flow of ideas and opinion, while limiting unwanted exposure to uninterested people. That way you eliminate the biases of what is deemed permissible and what not. I think that is a good solution for both sides

Lol everything for short term profit huh. Who cares what happens in the future, right, nut my job

Sure, I just don't agree with the approach. I think it will backfire in the long run. But this is not a place to debate these things, I know...

It's tempting to donate but I was banned for using the r-word (against things, not people). I'm not sure if I want to support censorship though. But that's just my two cents... Idk

Hardcoded* Hungarian subtitles. Those were the days

Looks like a lostedit meme

What is shit about it

You're saying the original Oculus is a better performing product than its modern counterpart? I don't think you're really saying that, so why won't you be clear in what you're actually saying instead of being vague and pretending you're making such a smart and perceptive comment.

Perhaps you're talking about his business practices or his work ethic that you don't agree on. Say something that doesn't sound ridiculously stupid, and in such a manner that I can ACTUALLY understand what the fuck you're talking about.

I see, but wouldn't it make more "human readable sense" to order spaces before any other character? Any human working with analog archives would rank 5 A before 5.5 A, since they think 5 is 5.0 in their head

yes yes I get what you're saying but it's still odd. Didn't humans do this differently in the old analog days? I'm sure any human when working with a real paper archive in front of him, order 5 A before 5.5 A. Perhaps it has something to do with viewing 5 as 5.0 and 5.00, since they are mathematically equivalent, and come before 5.5. Although humans would also be inconsistent because they would order 5.9 before 5.11 if the context were to be chapters going from 5.9 -> 5.10 -> 5.11. But if these papers were to represent values, humans would order 5.9 AFTER 5.11. And computers obviously don't make exceptions based on context like humans do.

edit: if I understand correctly, I'd be cleaner if spaces come first in character ranking of ANY character. Perhaps that'd make it more human readable.

I know he also wasted a lot of money (software side of metaverse), but he also put a lot of R&D into virtual reality headsets, which he will continue to develop.

Maybe but then it should be either one of these, not just the abolishment of one.
