It seems like we also don't care what the damage is or else we would make at least some effort to secure our IT systems. Of course the robber should be blamed but those who leave their doors wide open are guilty too. If we care so much about the consequences of ransomware attacks, why do we not act and avoid shitty software that only compromises security and instead built more resilient systems?
Yes, I think this is what we're gonna see. Even more so once the far right takes power. They will use the anti-hate speech laws against their creators because they are easy to abuse.
Lol, no one who just "expresses concern" will be sued in Germany. It will always be insults and incitement to violence that will lead to this.
However I would say that there have been trials because of really "easy" insults, started by politicians. And here you've got a point IMO that these laws are also used for intimidation. As a politician you should be able to tolerate some insults without having to sue each and every offender out there.
Yes that moral imbalance also striked me when reading this. When grandma has a gut feeling towards brown people and talks about that, she'd be called a bigot here. But when it's about men, the highest upvoted advice is to listen to the feeling of fear in your gut...
I didn't follow everything he's been doing but I don't understand the negative sentiment. Populous and Black & White were fantastic games IMO. But these games are old so maybe this view of him as a liar is more recent development.
When I read articles like this, I have to wonder: Either these people are complete lunatics or arms dealer lobbyists.
Why did countries develop their nuclear arsenals again, ensuring mutual destruction in case of war? So that we now stockpile stupid amounts of ammunition for imaginary wars between powers that can destroy humanity for good if such a war ever happened? We should again sacrifice millions for what? There'll be nothing left worth defending.
So no. I will never prepare am mindset for war. It's the utmost idiocy.
Yes but not using inclusive language is far from counting as a moral failing in my world... It's far from racism, let alone nazi stuff. So what's that comparison good for?
Sure everyone's free to use it or not, contribute to it or not. That's not related to my argument. I was only talking about making a connection between someone's political views and how much trust they deserve when it comes to e.g. security.
So you think you can draw a connection between someone's views on inclusive language and whether an individual or org can be trusted with software security.
I'm sorry but to me this line of thinking is bonkers. The two things have nothing to do with each other whatsoever. What if a conservative individual argued that they have trust issues with an open source project because it features inclusive language now? The person might argue that they don't understand why devs would devote their limited time to such cosmetics instead of focusing on code quality. How would you view this argument? On Lemmy it would probably be ridiculed, and rightfully so. Yet it's the same line of thinking that I see if I interpreted your comment correctly.
