Yes, that’s how syndromes work. Having one or two of these things is expected. Having half of them isn’t.

It’s too hard to change anything if one believes in laws, rules and the general idea of a fair justice. They don’t have this limitation.

One of the problems that annoyed me in the past is the complexity and ambiguity of deleting an email over IMAP. Depending on whether it’s the last label of the deleted email, deleting an email from a label’s directory either removes a label from this email, or actually deletes the email.

Considering labels are very non-standard, which caused trouble over IMAP since forever, I wouldn’t count on that part.

Let’s try the same text with a Nazi salute. Maybe even a literal photo of Hitler. I wonder if they’ll stay up. (I expect they will)

While I agree with you in general, let’s not pretend the implication isn’t obvious. Reddit just doesn’t like that implication, and that’s telling us a lot about Reddit.

Do you have more of these?

We want other options to be allowed to exist. This is “you just want everyone to be gay/trans/whatever” all over again.

Same. Most news sites treating this change as a “Kindle issue” is borderline disinformation. This is an “Amazon issue”. Kindle the device isn’t changing and there is no reason to switch if you already own one (just please don’t buy a new one).

Infinite number of universes doesn’t imply anything about their contents and their variance. Think about it like this: there is infinite number of even numbers (0, 2, 4…), but that doesn’t make “3” one of these infinite numbers. Likewise, the absence of “3” doesn’t make this sequence any less infinite.

I’m fully aware I’m deep into the “fun at parties” territory.

Apart from that I’m fully with the ancestor comments. If it’s fun, harmless and insignificant, it’s real to me.

What the hell is vaguetweeting though?

For what it’s worth, Eurogamer itself called the first game bigoted and refused to rate it. It’s really a strange case.

Personally I see no benefit in having them in the same application.

There is always SMS for these.

There you go, mate. https://archive.is/2025.01.30-220414/https://www.404media.co/zuckerberg-says-everything-i-say-leaks-in-leaked-meeting-audio/

Not even necessarily end-to-end, just encryption. And possibly encapsulation within an already allowed protocol, like it’s extremely common with HTTP these days.

That was my point too, I guess I wasn’t clear enough so thanks for elaborating. The protocol isn’t at fault, but something being a protocol (and not just a proprietary service) isn’t enough if the vast majority of the market share is being held by a few corporations.

Sadly look at email. Technically you can host it yourself but if you’re not one of the 15 or so big providers, good luck not being marked as spam before you even do anything.

The real problem is with the oligarchy controlling everything, service or protocol. This is why Threads was/is dangerous.

When Tim fucking Sweeney calls you out on your bullshit, you know you’re a special kind of piece of shit.

If you insist upon saying one store is more virtuous than the other… okay? I personally don’t like defending companies but you do you.

Could you please not put words into my mouth? Neither is “virtuous” and I am not defending them. Let’s stick to the facts instead. It’s clear that EGS is being actively hostile towards Linux, while GOG is merely negligent. EGS actively removed Linux support from previously supported games on at least one occasion (Rocket League).
