    Is this because they are also using Linux or do they plan to use it on FreeBSD?

    To me it's not about "don't judge", but about not treating sexual things like they're special. Notice how both of your examples of potentially over-the-line content are also of a s…

    In that case there should be a page for the control group without brains.

    That may be all there's to it, but I bet the fact that it's sexual makes all the difference. Do you think Bucephalus355 would have bothered to complain about it if the scene was of…

    It's dumb and it's there to pander to an edgy audience, but it really shouldn't be a problem. Why does that scene bother you? Isn't it just because that stuff is taboo?

    "Art" is mostly meaningless as a concept so I don't understand the point you're making.

    >How does that change things? The point is that there won't be a shortage of new music even if everyone stops being paid to make music.

    My point is that that crazy amount of work is being wasted on a music career.

    The importance of music and the importance of software is worlds apart. Not to mention there's enough music already made to cover everyone's need. Software is nowhere near that.

    Should we really be incentivizing making music as a career? And besides, I don't think the bulk of music is being created by people being compensated for it.

    I can't think of any good reason why music should even be copyrightable.

    This has already been discussed around the web.

    They can't if you're running Lineage OS.

    Wayland worked really well on Ubuntu 18.04 for the period of time I tried it.

    >A very bizarre set of reaction tweets, was Terry big among the alt-right/4chan crowds? What makes you say that? And what does the alt-right have to do with 4chan?

    Not at all since you aren't using Windows of course?

    AOSP is not "useless own its own". I don't know how you got that idea. Custom ROMs are every bit as capable as Google-flavored Android.

    It's not optimistic, just simplified. Surely you agree that Valve could escape Google's claws on Android much more easily than they can escape Microsoft claws on Windows? Heck, the…

    No, because Google doesn't wield the same power over Android that Microsoft wields over Windows. If Google decided to disallow Steam from Android, Valve could just fork Android and…

    I want Windows dead because it's a proprietary surveillance machine that has stayed alive thanks to really strong lock-in and network effects. I don't trust Google and Valve either…

    The whole Steam on Linux thing is believed to have started because Valve saw the Windows Store as a threat to their business model. IIRC, at the time it looked like Microsoft would…
