Quoting: namiko

Quoting: Mountain ManIn other words, you are opposed to freedom of speech because you wish to place arbitrary limits on what others are allowed to say.

Think the hypocrisy is a good point, though. There are people saying that you enable freedom through limitations on many different sides, but that's not really the case, it's all authoritarian in nature and overreaching.

Well, obviously, disallowing murder protects my freedom to live (and all other ones, as I couldn't use any when being dead). Enabling freedom through limitations is very, very broadly agreed upon. So the question usually is not if we want to limit peoples' freedom to protect other peoples' freedom, but just to what extend.

Quoting: EikeAs purple, I don't agree with you (there's other important harm), but it's at least a consistent standpoint.
Just the other day I saw someone thinking they would be defending freedom by forbidding gender aware speech by law.

Are they in a position to make their wishes happen on a governmental level or not? A lot of inflammatory words from people in general can be safely ignored unless this person has the power to implement change you're against.

Ah, it wasn't meant as an example for harmful, it was meant as an example for an inconsistent "conservative" standpoint.

Quoting: namikoThat's why I was suggesting actively trying to make changes to laws in the first place. If it's disturbing you, DO something about it instead of worrying that people say or believe things antithetical to your beliefs, since those people will always exist. It's turning something you can't do anything about into something you could possibly change for the better.

I'm fine with the laws we've got in Germany, disallowing e.g. insults. (It's just hard to actually enforce it in antisocial media.)

Quoting: ZeloxWill be interesting to see if we can fight with Mac by the end of next year ☺️

Funny you should mention that, I had just calculated the macOS user share for English users for comparison and it's 3.35% versus the 2.97% for Linux.

Which makes me wonder . . . I knew the Chinese essentially didn't use Linux, like, at all. For desktops/gaming, anyway. But what about all the other non-English speakers? For the overall percentage to be less than half the English-speaking percentage, no-Linux has to be very common out there. Why is Linux so terrible at penetrating beyond the English speaking (gaming) world?

Some people here said they are using Linux not in their native language, but in English. So 3.35% versus the 2.97% might be off. (I'm using Linux in German, though.)

Quoting: Purple Library Guy... it's generally obvious the modern conservative conception of free speech involves nobody else being able to have it.

I don't care what you choose to say or where you choose to do so, you should be allowed to say it without any arbitrary limitations. So long as that speech doesn't cause physical harm to someone else, it should be permitted.

As purple, I don't agree with you (there's other important harm), but it's at least a consistent standpoint.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPAt least for sequels/DLC I don't see why that would be so bad.

Binding of Isaac: Repentance anyone? (know that's a Linux-only case, but it was still a dick move)

What happened?

Quoting: M@GOidIt is stuff you see over the years. Is the case of developers thinking "the bait should be good for the fisherman, not the fish". To me, when you make a game, you should look out of your comfort zone and see what people want.

This will not create anything deserving the name art, though.

Quoting: 14I don't see this as a good idea. When are people going to use it?

I could imagine it at the backseat for the children.

Quoting: soulsourceI want to play those fake example games soooo much. Someone really needs to make the Custard Castle: Small Claims Court.

I just wanted to google for "It's probably fine" :sad:

Quoting: basedFrom after Q3 to Q4, I'm happy that I got expected months instead of another 'after'. Nice!

Same here. While on first sight it might look bad, it's basically moving from "We don't know" to "in a few months".

Quoting: basedDeck is why I decided to try Linux gaming again the start of this year and I don't want to use Windows ever again

Welcome aboard, penguin!

Quoting: elmapulhopefully they will be at stores by christmas.
if that happens they might explode in sales.

Even if they put them in stores (which I don't believe, they didn't even do it with the Steam Controller), there's still not the production capacity for an "explosion".
