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.

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.

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.

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

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…

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…
