Sega had a chance to hold on to enough market dominance to remain as the third console player even after this, but then their fate was sealed at the very instant they decided to put a CD-ROM drive in the Dreamcast instead of a DVD drive.

Anybody who thinks that feature should ever have been included in the first place should be given a dunce cap and a Vsmile

They added features that benefit power users and developers? I'm sure someone at Mozilla will be fired for this soon enough

Diversity that seems natural to the plot and diversity that seems to be the plot are treated very differently by different kinds of fans. The former seems to be well received even by people that aren't huge fans of diversity. The latter seems to be grating on a large number of fans.

I actually really like social commentary, I don't like tired, hamfisted, and insultingly performative puppet shows of social commentary. STD gave me vibes that a boardroom full of old white guys in expensive suits had a conference call with the writers that went something like "market research says progressive bullshit sells well to our target demographic, so I want 24 scripts about being ethnic or queer or something on my desk by morning. Make sure you really spell it out, too, the [slur]s are fucking stupid to get it otherwise."

busy filming Vampire Academy

Reminds me of Denise Crosby leaving TNG to go star in such blockbusters as Relative Fear and Mutant Species

What if I were to tell you that it was possible to buy software online before the Google Play Store existed?

And yet it's the only argument you'll hear. I don't know what possesses some people to act like critcism of systemd makes you an entitled manchild, I suspect they might be imbeciles.

I dispute the validity of the basis of your argument. Whether or not ease of access to advanced tools will cause problems for people who don't know what they're doing is irrelevant, and no design decision should ever be made with that consideration in mind. Whatever happened to RTFM? Put up a warning if you're worried about it. And you covered that:

And also a warning that is displayed when you start the advanced mode, for example, will not be useful. Nowadays, this will be often ignored.

That is the user's problem. Efficiency should never be hamstrung in the name of handholding. Ever.

Enjoy your botnet

If such settings are easy to change via a graphical interface, I see the danger that users with insufficient knowledge will tinker with them, which may lead to problems.

I'm guessing you're one of those people who answers questions on stackoverflow with "Why do you think you need to be able to do that?" instead of an answer.

I mean, all you have to do is click on Dessalines' profile, his banner image is Chairman Mao. He also posted on reddit years ago bitching that r/Socialism banned him for his beliefs, which of course were posting LaRouche cult nazbol nonsense and genocide denial. It's all right there on Google dude. Plus you can see removals on the mod logs.

The admins are tankies and remove tons of content as being Orientalistic or some shit. It's pathetic.
