Texas will run out of bus drivers to send once a few are arrested.

I think you mean for OP to consider the personification of death ie; The Grim Reaper. It sounds like you’re telling OP to go jump off a cliff if they’re a creationist, or to at least eat shit.

Edit: I should mention I laughed really hard either way

I know Valve and others have done a lot of the legwork already, so maybe it won’t be so difficult for Apple to catch up, but it feels a little bit like Microsoft’s last attempt at making phones. It’s been a minute since the starting bell, the competition has the software catalog already, and it’ll cost the consumer more.

How would you like them to fund their providing you with this data?

Q’plah, Christ!

If a vote was taken, of all the people of the West, and all the people of whatever you define as not the west, and you asked all the free people AND slaves whether they think slavery is good, what do YOU think the results would be? There’s your Present Day Broad Moral Context. Nobody wants to be a slave. You don’t want to be a slave. Slavery is bad for humans to do to one another. This is easy.

Why is the best defense for the actions of the UAE that “the west” has done it as well? I thought you guys wanted to be better than “the west”. If we’re such a poor example of morality, surpass us instead.

Never knew I wanted this. I’ll add it to the list of cyborg enhancements I’d be okay with, like camera eyes, a thumb drive thumb and deployable roller skate feet.

I believe I mentioned I wouldn’t be going to such places, but I appreciate your concern for my well-being.

by our standards

The only standards I’ve got.

I believe in cultural relativism, but I don’t think it’s an absolute. It only goes so far. It’s just (like) my opinion (man), but anybody who reacts that way to an insult loses much more face or respect than a person who is big enough to have a measured and reasonable response, rather than taking months of a person’s life as punishment for less than 30 seconds of speech.

So they overreact when their feelings get hurt there and I shouldn’t go. Got it.

Fair enough. I wish we could fork it.

Edit: by we I mean someone who knows what they’re doing or even what should be done. Which isn’t me.

So that is true it doesn’t do those bad things, but what makes it actually good and not just not bad?

That’s true, but their apathy or ignorance is a threat to any networked device. There’s definitely an argument for “my device,y software, my rules”, and technically you can run windows 7 as long as you want, but Valve shouldn’t be perpetually expected to support deprecated software either. In their case specifically, if would be hard to ensure their anti-cheating software isn’t being circumvented at the operating system level, meaning the experience of everyone on any OS would be lowered by continuing to support a 14 year old version of Windows.

It’s ancient, unsupported, and closed source. Nobody can create or distribute security updates. People would have been happy to keep using horses and buggies if there’d been an automatic horse shit shoveller.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Lemmy hug of death before! RonPaulItsHappening.Gif

I think he meant it’s wild we’ve been conditioned to not even think about government takeover of publicly funded assets. Like it still feels like the nuclear option even to Americans who believe they are socialists. Not that your comment was insufficient. I understand why you would feel defensive, the Internet can be a mean place.

Ha! That could be it too, but I had meant more like a wrap around the pole.

Oh just fuck off. You’re seriously chasing me around the comment section, butthurt because I’d rather talk to somebody less unpleasant. You’re not changing my perspective if that’s why you’re doing it.
