Ja.

Und wer hat das zugelassen und einfach weiter gemacht?

Vollidioten.

Arguing against violence and war when that is possible is fine.

Arguing fanatically to lay down weapons when one side is very clearly not going to do that, is very stupid.

In the sense that there will always be people who are going to be tricked into a fascist, violent, superiority cult, because there are just that many people, and in the sense that sometimes and regularly moderate or intense violence will be necessary to stop them, because some people are closed off to arguments and peaceful discussion, opposing that violence is taking their side, yes.

And it's fine if you disagree, I simply think you have really finished thinking about it. The reply is always going to be a "... but what if they just stopped being fanatic fascists" and I think that is not how that works.

So ultimately I agree with Orwell.

If you haven't played it, try hollow knight. It also doesn't do those things. It's relatively clear about the story that you need to know and why you're doing things.

Basically, the good parts of free speech arguments.

I do think there are things that can just be banned from existence, and be made illegal, but it's significantly more tolerant than the current vibe.

Reality doesn't give a shit about our systems of morals. There is a certain "mainstream, harmony and political correctness" creep that sometimes happens. And what's bad about that, is that bubbles brain wash themselves into believing that the way they think the world works is really how the world works. And what they hold isn't just a perspective and an opinion, but a fundamental truth about the world and deviation needs to be purged. And that eventually collides with reality. This is both true for racists and for people who think racism can be "cured" or "educated away" or "people can just consider the facts and change their mind".

The fediverse allows a more gradual interaction than centralized social media sites. Because centralized social media must decide how to deal with... depiction of politics, religious subjects, NSFW topics, which btw, covers everything from violence over nudity to medical conditions.

If there was a medical community sharing discussions about medical topics, I can block that and be unburdened by it, but there is no central fediverse authority that needs to decide if that medical picture is not allowed because there is a boob in it.

In short, banning a social group on social media, like racists, doesn't convince anyone or remove that group of people from factually existing and factually organizing.

Open Source Software works the same way, you can't be sure that math library isn't being used to control a remove controlled ballistic missile, but pretending that you can "ban math" depending on the purpose is stupid, so there is no point in worrying about it.

You can just form a regular institutionalized user group / hobby association and run that this way if you want.

That's the end point I see for the fediverse too, localized specialized interest groups that run themselves, know each other IRL and both finance the space because they see the value it brings them and democratically decide how to run it.

... but it doesn't work perfectly with sign ups being unlimited, anonymized and open to the general internet.

Menschen die die Globalisierung ablehnen, können gerne ihre Flachbildschirme, Smartphones und sonstige digitale Technik zurückgeben. Mit Öl heizen wird geht dann auch nicht mehr, Plastikverpackung ist nicht. Und keine Bananen, Mangos oder Avocados. Exportwirtschaft können wir dann auch einpacken. Achso, Solarzellen gibts dann auch nicht, weil heimische Produktion gibts nicht in dem Ausmaß.

Weiß nicht was dann der Plan ist, das wir dann gegenseitig versuchen uns Kartoffeln zu verkaufen klingt nicht so geil.

Also viel Spaß, ohen Strom, ohne Heizung, ohne Unterhaltung, ohne moderne Bürotechnik, ohne Absatzmarkt für die Wirtschaft.

Bei aller Kritik an verschiedenen Ausbeutungsformen sollte niemand die Augen davor verschließen, das niemand die Vorteile wieder abschaffen will.

Being a personal fan of video games isn’t necessarily required to succeed in running a gaming company.

What the F***, yes it is.

(that's arstechnica saying that though, not the new xbox boss person)

If you write something that you base on your previous work, but you don't cite your previous work, that's a problem.

How is the peer reviewer supposed to know who the author is, I thought obfuscating that was the whole point...

And to reward you, we’re giving you 24-hour visibility

(which is nothing special; there are 6 slots available for this visibility every day of the year for various Steam invitations).

He has no clue what he's talking about Steam in 2021 had 69 MILLION daily active users. WTF do you think is a bigger number 130.000 wishlists or getting even 1% of 69 million people to look at something in the reel?

People don't understand the size of steam or the value of that space (that one of six slots) sometimes. It's wild.

And also, THEY noticed, THEY informed him, THEY apologized, and THEY offered some form of compensation, which they legally don't have to.

I am soooooooooooooooo tired of indie devs blaming everything from the constellation of the stars to the quality of the donuts on a different continent for their game not doing well, except that maybe the game isn't that good, and also those 100.000 already sold units is the actual size of the market for that game.

Teen was third employee of city bike safety center to die in bike crash

Ah yes. It's not that A CAR crashed into her, it was a bike crash.

/s

Awful. Just awful that this keeps happening.

Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn't have these restrictions.

Also, updates.

"hey computer! Update!"

"Sure thing, here is a list of 57 packages I will update, y/n?"

"y"

"ok... done!"
