Highly addictive drugs destroy lives and families. The little girl who’s father has a heroin addiction sure didn’t get any say in his choice, but she’s affected by it. The citizens…

I can logically understand why this is a good thing. I enjoy running and biking myself. I often walk to places instead of drive during the rare times it’s a viable option. Despite …

I want, so desperately, to find a new problem or space that I can truly feel passionate about. But it seems like nothing I see really captures the entirety of my interest. I’ve not…

Maybe a silly question, but how can I find this “Python 3” game? Googling just shows tutorials on making a game in Python 3. Searching “Python 3” on steam doesn’t turn up anything.…

Unity was never FOSS. Nor was Figma, to my knowledge

That just means it’s about the opinion of the government, which isn’t much better in my opinion (and is arguably worse).

> knowingly > exploitable > vulnerable None of these are cut and dry. How vulnerable does someone have to be before you can exploit them? How harmful does the behavior have to be b…

Businesses don’t operate for the purpose of giving people jobs.

Displaying ads has nothing to do with GDPR. They can still display ads that aren’t targeted, they just can’t save your information for more targeted advertising.

I had a similar experience! I can’t recall if it was strep or what, but I do remember a particularly nasty illness from which I never really feel I recovered from neurologically.

Wow! I wonder what the reason behind this is?

I can tell why it’s a problem for working artists. I never suggested otherwise. What I disagreed with was the premise that it’s immoral or inherently wrong. A problem posing a diff…

I disagree with you, simply for the fact that artists have been learning from one another for thousands of years. We can see a clear timeline of art and it’s progression throughout…

It drives the average wage down as well, as now employers have almost twice as many potential candidates and therefore don’t have to offer as competitive pay.

You’re speaking from the position of someone clearly privileged enough to afford all the services you’d like to continue using. There are vast swaths of t people for whom an additi…

Hey Michael! Love the project. Is it open-source, per chance? And if not, could it be?

The fact that you felt the freedom to part and fuck off until 26 speaks to a degree of privilege and freedom that your safety net of parental wealth provided you that you don’t eve…

I wouldn’t share that with people. It just makes you sound like you were a privileged entitled bum that took advantage of your less privileged friends hospitality. Because that’s e…

The first sentence of your initial comment I responded to was ‘It would be great if such "creative" works were simply impossible to monetize.’

If not for the ability to monetize, there would be a small fraction of the total available work out there. From music, to movies, to video games. And for many, the quality we come …

That’s… awful.

Eh, I could definitely see the artists losing. The most obvious scenario that comes to mind for me is, imagine an independent artists launching their (book/film/album/etc) and the …

That’s just survivorship bias (or perhaps, the opposite). You don’t hear the happily ever after stories because they don’t tend to reach out to the media after a few years and say …

Anything in excess is bad. Having a couple drinks throughout your week is fine, going on a bender and downing 20 drinks one night per week isn’t. Having a snickers bar is fine if y…

I have the base model $1k M2 air and it functions excellently as a development machine. Both web dev for work (running multiple react clients, node servers, Pg instances, docker co…
