At some point needlessly banning words just empowers bigots by letting them claim larger and larger parts of the vocabulary. Shouldn’t we try to reclaim words instead, and deprive the words of their power? Just “banning” words, especially in cases such as this one when the connection to master/slave is pretty weak, actually increases the negative power of the words and I’d argue empowers people with malicious intent

The comment says monopolistic. Epic games does exclusives on PC. Does steam do this? Which one is monopolistic?

Referring to Epic I presume?

Wow! You’re a true climate hero!

Just be careful that irrecoverable damage hasn’t been dealt to the game industry and traditional distribution methods by the point that the enshittification starts. What I’m really concerned about is that Microsoft will do everything in their power to smash the current games industry to bits and then rule the ashes. The games industry will end up smaller and worse off, but Microsoft still makes more money since they control a larger share even if the pie shrinks and shrivels.

When people say that they want a third part I doubt they mean it literally, as in they believe there are literally only two parties, but rather I suspect they mean that they want a third party which is large and influencial.

I agree, but tell that to advertisement departments haha

He owns 13%. Still significant, of course. But it’s very unlikely he’d sell them just for payback, since that would massively impact his own wealth. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/insights/052616/top-4-tesla-shareholders-tsla.asp

If wages rise in conjunction, I don’t see any issue. The theory is that slight inflation encourages putting money to use, either by consuming it or saving in a bank account (where the bank can lend it out) or investing it etc. That’s why some inflation is generally considered desirable.

Immersive commerce is totally the top priority of all players and developers! Players, don’t you have wallets??

That’s impressively awful

So what key are they gonna put there when all cheap generic Chinese keyboard makers start including this button on all their variants of keyboards?

Not a single soul wants this. They just want to use every foul trick to get you to use copilot (by accident even) just like they do with bing and their other garbage.

Nah programming is awesome 😎

The guy only looks unhappy on the outside, inside he’s pleased to be programming lol

GPL isn’t the only open source license. This comment is beyond bizarre because it seems to imply that all open source software is GPL? And of course when software is licensed as GPL, that license can be enforced when someone breaks it (like your example). The original comment never mentioned GPL, it was about when something was licensed ss free. So when you give an example where it wasn’t licensed as such, what was the point?

Violoncello is the proper full name of the Cello! They’re the same thing.

People don’t really know what the term means. Any media where the users create the content is a social media. That’s what social media means! YouTube, reddit, Lemmy, Instagram, Snapchat… All of these are social medias! Perhaps we need some different term to differenciate them based on whether you’re more expected to interact with friends or anonymously with strangers though.

Since it’s probably reasonably rare it’s a good demonstration of the stability of Wayland. It makes sense to mention it imo

The universal part is basically the point of UBI. It’s income for everyone, no strings attached. So calling it UBI is definitely misleading I’m afraid
