I just think games should not push real world politics, period. This applies to that stream thing, and also to this thing you are talking about.

Which is so open ended that it's impossible to not break it if you have an opinion and are speaking to a global audience.

You are a professional player in a tournament, you should not use an official stream to spew political opinions... or opinions of any other kind.

...and? I'm just offering an explanation, I didn't say they should "git gud".

He lost his job for using an official stream to push his politics. That's a huge difference that everybody is deciding to ignore for some reason... outrage culture I guess.

I'd argue that this is completely and absolutely political. Just deciding that this guy is a tyrant is political.

Hmm, reminds me that a loooong time ago I used a Linux distro that had a log viewer, and the icon of the log viewer was a pile of lumber logs.

Go to Europe and say the holocaust didn't happen, see what occurs.

In fact many countries in Europe have blasphemy laws and they uphold them: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/its-not-fr...

"Human rights" = politics. Blizzard can choose what they broadcast using their streams. I'm sure if someone decided to wear a tshirt with a fasces in it you'd agree... but since this is on the other side of the spectrum of politics, you disagree. Honestly, very short-sighted.

Into your message is built the assumption that all "politics" is the same.

Not really: there are politics I agree with and politics I disagree with. That doesn't mean that I believe Blizzard should give a loudspeaker to those who agree with me. I think that's stupid because it could turn against me at some point. Some people seem not to think ahead.

I doubt Raymond cares, it's not like they are going to fire him.

Seems reasonable that they don't want to allow players to push their politics using the official Blizzard streams. They are free to do so in their spare time.

What do you think Blizzard would do if some guy wore a MAGA hat in an official stream?

Raymond has always made it very clear that this is his personal blog and that it's not official by any measure.

Reminds me of the good ol' "what kind of person would assist the ICE finding and deporting illegals". Answer: not everybody agrees with your views on politics.

That is exactly my point. If you've never heard a word you can never know how it's pronounced. That's not the case with Spanish where I can make up a word and everybody will pronounce it (almost) the same way.

I disagree with spoken English being a sane language. I have yet to find a deterministic way of knowing how to pronounce a word I haven't heard before. I can make up a word in Spanish and I know everybody will pronounce it the same way.

I think they are reading too much into what basically is a question of design, to be honest. They just want to display videos fullscreen.

I dislike advertising as much as the next guy but really, what alternatives do websites like reddit have?

It's more like the writer was saying "nobody cares about poor people, but hey, if we say the victims are blacks and latinos... that's going to get some support from someone". Which is rather sad since being poor is bad for everybody, no matter whether you're black white or green.

You just have to look at the Twitter feeds of these two to see why things are going where they are going.

In the United States, these users are mainly made up of economically disadvantaged individuals, who are disproportionately black and Hispanic.

I mean you could say the same thing about everything. This affects poor people, and those are "disproportionately black and Hispanic". It's like the writer is trying to trigger someone.

I don't find it to be unreasonable. If a trans person clearly states that her pronouns are "she/her" and you twist your sentences around to avoid using pronouns at all, that could certainly give the impression that you don't recognize her identity as valid.

...and why should I? Why is this a given? Reminds me of when Andy Bernard goes to therapy and when he comes back he asks people to call him Drew.

Using Firefox on Windows appeals to me, even if Windows is closed source.

I bet all the residents who used to have pissed filled building corners consider it a net good.

Sure, but now there are more people inconvenienced by that problem than before. So it's a net loss.

NXDOMAIN unlike SERVFAIL is cached for whatever the regular TTL is. So yeah, seems like this person is complaining about something that would've gone wrong anyway

I get captchas on google.com all the time, especially if I make several complicated queries with operators in a short time span. And as this other guy says you are guaranteed to get a captcha from Tor

Cool chart but... why are the countries not labelled?

My computer needs to contact Google to make those captchas work

I've exclusively fried stuff in EVOO all my life. I fill my deep fryer with EVOO. It's perfectly fine.

Seems like they call themselves "Turtlesoft" for a reason.

In a civilised country the government would force Comcast to share infrastructure and would set maximum prices regarding what they can charge for it.
