> What right do you have
A first amendment right.
> You have absolutely no right to complain
Freedom of speech includes freedom to complain.
> in much the same way I don't have any right to look at your Github repo
...per the fourth amendment for my private repros. I'll assume you're referring to my public repros instead of trying to compare as "the same" something that goes directly against someone's constitutional rights, with something that's explicitly protected by someone's constitutional rights.
> tell you you're a terrible developer and you should never touch a computer again.
...but this part is well within your first amendment rights as well. And if you think I've been undermining the pursuit of life and liberty as much as broken crypto can, repeatedly, despite fair warning, I'd dearly hope you'd exercise said rights. Rudeness and hurt egos are more survivable than broken crypto. Learning crypto is fine, but not at the expense of those who's lives may depend upon it. Whether or not they'll learn isn't the question: learning takes time, period, full stop. Time that cannot be afforded by those who would depend on said crypto.
- 02 13y agoNot everyone lives in the USA. Your amendments are utterly irrelevant to Europeans, for example.
- MaulingMonkey 13y ago> Not everyone lives in the USA. And? The same ideals and rights embodied within our constitution can be found as similarly protected rights well outside of the USA. Even ignoring that, the point would still stand: The blanket statement that "you" (generalizing to all those harshly critiquing the continued development of Cryptocat) "don't have the right" is incorrect. If you suppose that freedom of speech isn't a universal human right, you could argue that not everybody has the right. But I would disagree with that assertion, as would the signatories of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. > Your amendments are utterly irrelevant to Europeans, for example. They are utterly relevant not only in history, and how they affect those you may interact with, but also -- as is occurring here -- in the discussion of what rights one should (or shouldn't) have, by pointing out what rights were deemed worthy of enshrining in the highest laws of one of the largest countries of this world. They may not be law in Europe, but that's a far cry from being irrelevant.
- jessaustin 13y agoJeez dude. Stop oppressing Europeans by discussing speech rights.
