That’s rough. It sucks when people take things too seriously like that.

Axolotls are adorable! Check your DMs.

Ewwwww.

What’s wrong with my username? I named this account after a fictional animal in a game I play.

Or at least take a pocket knife or something. Knives for self defense are generally not the best because people tend to end up hurting themselves with them, but just pulling a knife out could be enough to scare off a group of scumbag teenagers.

It depends on the industry. In some cases, being literally anything other than a cishet white man is a massive advantage.

White man here: maybe back in ye olden days, but not anymore.

They should have to pay you for your time if you spend more than a couple of hours on them. What bullshit.

Nah, games can be mostly peer to peer and still get shut down. Mario Kart 8 isn’t down yet, but they make you pay for the privilege of P2P multiplayer.

The funny thing is that religion is sort of like a contagion in that sense. Religions that encourage their followers to proselytize spread faster and further, much like viruses that hijack cells and force them to produce more viruses.

That’s a feature of Market Socialism, but we can’t call it that because sOcIalIsM sCaRy, so let’s go with Democracy in the Workplace.

Does anyone distro shame Mint? The only distro-shaming I’ve seen is against Ubuntu, and that’s because of Canonical’s repeated attempts to turn Linux into Windows and push their own proprietary bullshit.

Personally, I’m a fan of apps that use your system theme automatically so they don’t even need to ask you.

Plus, if it did work the way it was supposed to, there would be zero harm done.

Cars already do that with having their own cell connection that you can’t turn off. It’s dystopian.

Lots of game developers started off as hobbyist modders when they were young. Maybe they’re trying to eliminate the future competition. More likely, Denuvo’s actual primary purpose is DRM and anti-cheat is just how it’s sold to players.

I’ve never used Ubuntu and I don’t have a 4090, so I am wholly unqualified to answer that question. My comparison was between Mint and Pop. That being said, Canonical has had its more than fair share of controversies in the past, so you’d probably want to avoid them if it’s convenient to do so, all else being equal.

I can confirm that PopOS works well on devices with both an iGPU and an nvidia dGPU.

I think you have an overly optimistic view of the world.

Yup, that’s a great way to start a marriage. “I love you with all my heart and want to be with you forever. Also, I don’t trust you, so let’s get a prenup.”

The law needs to protect people by default. It’s just impractical not to. You have to keep in mind that humans are not perfect rational agents.
