Sorry, life got in the way. I’m not surprised you’re not familiar with such matters.

I am surprised how much you support spreading hate speech by removing the ability of moderation.

You didn’t answer my question.

Who would pay for the platform, and who would moderate it? Or do you just want even more hate speech to spread?

A public forum, I assume paid for and maintained by the taxes of the public?

Ah, so you’re pro moderation when you personally find the contect to be even indirectly harmful.

“Double standards are bad, no matter which side.”

Why should anyone get to own the only effective avenues of communication? Communication is what determines how the world works.

Who currently owns the “only effective avenues of communication”?

CP is illegal obviously, and jihad doesn’t make sense in the cute cats category the way ‘straight only game mod’ makes sense in the ‘game mod’ category.

“Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective.” Seems there’s a limit to the ugly you’re willing to put up with, and you’re quite willing to silence perspectives yourself.

You cleaely still want people to moderate social networks. I assume you’d want these people to outside the company?

Major media outlets and companies should not be considered private platforms.

Really? Now I’m curious, how do you imagine that?

I assume the company still pays for the platform, hosting, development, etc. Since it’s public, are they now subsidised by taxes?

Who moderates the platforms then? Are is it all just unmoderated?

Will companies get compansated for lost revenue?

I genuinely curious how you imagine this working.

Anyone can sign up and post while they use their money and influence to decide who gets heard.

Yeah, because it’s theirs. They own it.

If I let everyone into my house for a party, doesn’t mean I lose the right to kick people out.

Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective. I don’t want an echo chamber.

I’m okay with an echo chamber if it means I don’t have to put up with CP and jihadi execution footage in my cute cat feed.

I assume it would be no problem for you.

No, but you can’t forcibly take and use someone else’s megaphone.

So private platform and private parties shouldn’t have the right to moderate and regulate their own spaces?

You’re using HTTPS, do you have child porn?

Hopefully that’s the only way you’ll reproduce.

Oh sorry, I was under the impression that you had at least a basic knowledge about software and software development.

I now see that that’s not the case.

Open source is an area where software patents don’t generally protect the product, and yet it’s the most innovative space out there. And in cases where patents are brought in (see the rust trademark incident) they are rejected by the community. And yet open source is still around, and powering most of the internet and present in most devices.

If what you said about patents were the case, that would not be so.

I don’t know how to convey to you how important it is to incentivize innovation without worrying someone else will simply steal your ideas to make millions from your hard work you did inventing something while they literally did nothing.

If I make something and someone else can simply take it and dominate the market with it and pay me nothing for the work i did, why the fuck should I even bother making anything?

TIL that open source doesn’t exist.

When working on an OS project you are doing it out of altruism and/or fun, fully realising that you will never be compensated for this work.

That would imply there are no devs or even entire companies working on open source software and getting paid.

Just because you work on open source, doesn’t mean you don’t get paid.

Yeah, imagine if there was an area of software development where people could freely view, copy and modify each others works.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.

The quarantine mission.

I didn’t have it spolied, and I got really attached to my men.

The beginning was bad enough, but when they started saluting…

Also, Red Dead Redemtion 2, the ending. Man, that sunrise was beautiful…

(If you liked the vibe of RDR2, check out these two songs by the incredible Gavin Dunne.)

So some drivers are not installed like I said

No, you said:

First of all they’re going to have to release a distro which actually has, shock horror, proprietary drivers installed on it, because your average user isn’t going to understand how to install them.

You’re moving the goalposts.

Wow, you wrote a game engine in machibe language?

Can we see it?

I don’t think there’s a standard term for people subscribing to the “woke” ideology.

Empathic?

Decent?

Not a piece of shit?

There’s plenty to choose from.

Notice how he’s only posting clips from made up media as his “arguments”, not anything remotely factual.

Fair point. How about this:

Let’s compare the number of cases a conservative didn’t get consent vs the number of cases a non-consentual kiss brought someone back from clinical death 🙂
