Quoting: namikoBeing "canceled" means being too offensive to work with, associate with or even to be spoken positively about at the worst.

Are some things so offensive as to make it necessary to remove someone from the public sphere, sometimes permanently? (banning, firing, refusing to associate with, maybe even being fined or arrested depending on where you live, etc.)

I don't know where the boundary on offense should be because I can't predict the future, times change, laws and policies also change in a waxing and waning of liberal to conservative and back again (in a general sense, no political parties implied). If this kind of de-personing is going to be the default, we're isolating a lot of people. There's a dark path to be gone down when we start thinking people are permanently irredeemable, even if they sincerely apologize. Or even if they are accepted again, can we say they're sincerely accepted, or is there a permanent, invisible "scarlet letter [External Link]" of sorts that will hang over their heads indefinitely?

It feels good to be a part of a group that's "better" than the "bad" one(s), it's a rush that's probably chemically addictive. That's why I can't see "cancel culture" stopping anytime soon, it just feels too good to be more "right" than the person or group being accused.

If there's no road to forgiveness, can any of us honestly say that we're above reproach when it comes to our words or actions? Whether or not we think what Stallman's done or said is acceptable doesn't matter, it matters because we'd want a chance at forgiveness if we were in his shoes.
This is pretty much what I wanted to say, but couldn't find the right words for it. Thanks :)

Quoting: chrBut more trust (maybe sometimes?) and more empathy and more calming down and being friendly is what we all need.
THIS :)

Being an open source program it would have been great if they have included nextcloud in the list of cloud saves.

Amazing work anyway, some of these new titles don’t really know them but happy for Blade Runner and re-play it again after so many years.

Fantastic looking beat 'em up Shing! confirmed to be releasing for Linux

Somehow graphics remind of Silver. Interesting approach moving the weapons with the right stick, might give it a go.

The non-linear hack-n-slash platformer Blasphemous is still coming to Linux but it's delayed

Not sure if I will enjoy this better on the Switch but after what happened with Bloodstained, which I'm suffering now, perhaps wiser to go for the Linux build when available.

My deepest condolences to everyone that knew him. Very sad news indeed.

You got me at: "borrowing some ideas from The Seven Deadly Sins".

The Humble RPG Bundle seems like a really great deal for Linux gamers

I was looking for an excuse to get Tyranny... no any more :D

Dead Cells feature filled Who's the Boss update out now under a new company

Quoting: sneakeyboard
Quoting: ArehandoroIs the new company also a workers co-op or a traditional one?
Likely not as that was why they "changed" things in the first place. Article seemed to focus on the update but I am curios; might be an EU thing.

Either way, they've earned my money more than once...I think I might just go ahead and get it for the switch.
That's a shame. I thought they could set a precedent in the industry, in terms of values, politics and quality, but if due to success they already change and become/create another normal company more...

Of course, that doesn't mean they have earned their money or that the games they'll release will be worst :)

EVERSPACE 2 announced, with more of a focus on exploration and it will release for Linux
20 Aug 2019 at 9:45 am UTC

Awesome! The first is a great game, which I'm terrible at, but the changes to an open-world space with more exploration as story seem to me like the kind of change I was hoping for. I might back it on Kickstarter actually :D
