If I'm following you correctly, you're implying that in order to debate with others to determine what truth is, you must have the freedom to say things without being bound by how the act of saying them would affect other people,

I mean, I agree that practically PG will never feel any serious repercussions for saying whatever he wants _because_ of his wealth and influence. I don't think that's healthy (as wealth and influence are often afforded to people d

The behavior he's calling "heresy" here cannot be evaluated in a vacuum; these kinds of statements are all contextual, ESPECIALLY hinging on who is saying them. And the reason that is the case is because the consequences of s

The problem is that he has way more influence in the world than you or I due to his status, money, connections, etc. The amount of harm resulting from him being in an echo chamber is much larger, especially since he actively posts in order

It's not one or the other. It's both an artistic decision to leave no remote possibility of altering the difficulty, and a moral one to exclude folks whose disabilities make the game vastly more difficult than it is for others. Th

Oh yeah, you can make lots of choices on how to integrate them or what features to offer! Celeste assist mode lets you control the game engine's speed, modify how many jumps you have, etc. Hades gives you a mode where you get a permane

I think Miyazaki's games are great and I enjoy them myself, but the continued (even in this article, somewhat) framing of accessibility features as ruining the artistic vision of hardship is a little disingenuous at this point. Many di

I mean, no, there's lots of crimes you can commit in jail that can lead you to an even worse sentence. But also recidivism isn't simply some moral badness in a person, there's tons of factors that feed into it, including the

Fair! I didn't finish the thought, which was to address those shortcomings by either making free software work better for those needs (e.g. work with tech unions to negotiate guaranteed funding of projects used by companies) or by maki

Your conception of free software is not how free software is generally understood; free software is about the rights of the users, not the expectation that people contribute to it. Sure, if you _define_ free software as being about a lack o

It's a bit wild that the sum total money spent on salaries for engineers handling potential problems stemming from this or defending against the possibility in the future could probably have covered paying the maintainer a living wage

If we've learned one thing from capitalism it's that it is _not that unlikely_ for a small group of people to get more than half of all the money. The structure still concentrates power.

Micro is my go-to git commit message editor, especially because it can correctly syntax highlight verbose-mode commit messages (passing -v to git commit will put the diff you're committing below your message as a helpful reminder).
