If they want to say, “I think this theft is justified,” that’s a coherent position.

That’s what they did… And then you complained that people were being too flexible with their morals.

You can keep shifting the goalpost now or just accept you didn’t word your OC very well.

You do not get to have a moral framework that changes depending on who benefits from the outcome.

I do, though, is the thing. As does all of society. We always have and we always will. And you’re lying to yourself if you think you don’t take advantage of that flexibility yourself.

it would still be murder unless there was a legitimate justification for doing so. The morality of an action cannot be determined solely by how much we dislike the target.

So in other words… There’s nuance. It’s not just how much we dislike the target, there’s other stuff to consider too. We need

Context 😲

Either theft is wrong regardless of who the victim is, or your moral standard changes depending on whether you like the target.

Amazing that your ‘gotcha’ is just two false statements.

Theft isn’t wrong regardless of the victim - it’s nuanced, just like all crime. That’s why we have very complicated legal processes to determine guilt and appropriate punishments.

Our morals don’t change depending on whether we like the target - it’s that our judgments are based on context.

The cool thing about ethics, morals, principles, etc… They’re all made up. We invented them. They have no objectivity (as far as we know) and therefore can and have changed based on our feelings. “Ethics” is just humans agreeing to do things a certain way because it makes us feel good, or doing things the other way makes us feel bad. There is no objective truth to it that you can so easily plug in a problem and get an objective answer.

Or is the world you want to live in just completely binary? No room for nuance?

Well, what am I supposed to label you as? The lady got Calgary and the guy got Ottawa. Are you claiming all of Canada? Making your label “Guy from the entirety of Canada”

According to who?

Also, what’s the difference? If I down vote you to bury your comment for being irrelevant, poorly worded, bad faith, etc. or down vote you because I don’t like your comment, the result is the same.

It was never taken.

It’s AI…

I found Florisboard’s swipe dictionary to be… Weird. Like making up words or acronyms, or just suggesting words no one would ever use.

But, Heliboard lets you import swipe dictionaries, so you can get Gboard’s without using Gboard.

Unironically, the Google Pixel is ironically one of the best phones you can get to de-Google your smartphone experience. For now.

Use Steam.

Download Battle.net Launcher.

Add it as non steam game.

Run it and install like normal.

Do not sign in. Close it.

In a terminal, type this: find ~ -name Battle.net

Look for a line like: /home/_you/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compdata/#############/pfx/drive_c/…

Those ###s are Battle.net’s steam ID on your system.

Back on Steam, right-click Battle.net and click Properties.

Change the Target line to: “/home/_you/.steam/steam/steamapps/compdata/~your numbers~/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net Launcher.exe”

Set Compatibility to Proton 10 beta.

Now launch Battle.net and install WoW.

Can you give some examples of shows that you feel knowingly do this, other than Ancient Aliens or Ghost Hunters?

They had a warrant.

It’s okay to have privacy concerns regarding that, but don’t make shit up to make it sound worse than it was.

Sure you can. Wouldn’t that have been an easy excuse for this guy to reply with instead of all this defensive bullshit?

1. Of course not, because you refuse to answer a simple question.

2. Just because you were offended doesn’t mean I was being offensive. Learn the difference, kid.

Instead of being so defensive about it you could just answer the question… Did you have so much free time you decided to try signing up for a service you had no intention of using just so you could complain about it?

Seems a fair question to ask someone who makes a post to direct people away from a service under the presumption that they were trying to use it, only to find in the comments that they already use a different service that they not only enjoy, but are happy to freely advertise for.

Also, your justification for their lack of crypto payments is that they use a payment system they designed themselves, which I find funny since most of the complaints I see about Proton (granted, not yours) is the unverifiability of their operations, leaning on “Just trust me, bro.” which is the same thing as this site’s payment processing system. 🤭

Are there any non-self-hosted services where that’s not the case?

This is an unfortunate truth. I occasionally teach a short course on basic computer networking with a short segment on Unix/Linux to students ranging from ages 18-25 and only about 1 or 2 out of every class of 20 even knows what an “operating system” is.

Why are you trying to sign up for Proton if you already use another provider?

So, they operate a repo of open source code as a cover for their internal repo of completely different code?

There is a soft tag built into the post itself: the title. It says “Ikkitousen.” If you know what Ikkitousen is, you know it’s an ecchi anime. If you don’t know what Ikkitousen is, you have to decide for yourself if the post is worth opening blind. On an anime community it should come as no surprise that people would post characters from ecchi (and not necessarily hard-defined NSFW) shows.

Though I don’t disagree with your suggestion for having more user control, the root of this is entirely a personal problem that others shouldn’t be expected to accommodate for you. Go into your display settings and turn off thumbnails and be self-policing in what links you click on.
