Your argument was, literally, that piracy decreases sales. But all of the evidence points toward piracy increasing game sales. Therefore, the indie dev in your example would make more money. I'm not saying that piracy is good or bad; I

Interestingly, you seem to be the only person on the World Wide Web to ever have used that phrase (three times over three years?), but it's such a perfect description of such a common phenomenon that I'm pretty sure its propagatio

Ryujinx isn't actually the only Switch emulator; between Ryujinx and Yuzu, you can emulate basically everything the Switch can do and play most of the games it can.

How is any of this abusive? It's a scenario where a minority of workers in a geographic area decide they no longer agree with their employer, and voluntarily quit. The market implies it's cheaper to replace them, because they&#x27

The minority of conservatives in progressive cities on the West Coast are cheaper to replace than the majority of liberals, though. It's how the market works.

They've been doing it for quite a while; RMS pointed out that they retroactively removed 1984 from people's libraries nearly a decade ago. No regulator cared then, no regulator will care now. Banning books isn't a particula

That's loyalty, because it implies the employees are more likely to stick around. Employees that feel their input is valued more often than not do.

Corporations are made of employees. Even their executives are just employees! Employees, as you might know, are people! They have opinions and preferences of all sorts! The high-value workers and executives for Amazon are located exclusivel

How is that political? I found it interesting to see the (long) process to get where we are.

I know that liberalism and progressiveness are different things. Liberalism isn't tied to progressiveness, but progressiveness is inherently tied to economic justice. Socialism is certainly a progressive stance. Liberalism can be dropp

What's good about liberalism? They seem more progressive than ever; an open socialist nearly won their primary last year.

It's not enough to make up the gap, though. Further, hippies rarely voted, and weren't the majority or even close to the majority of their generation.

That does show that people were deradicalized; read the Metafilter thread linked.

Hellbanning has a history of working well for deradicalization of online communities that were a lot worse than twitter is; Jeff Atwood has a good post giving a brief look at the history of it: https://blog.codinghorror.com/

200 people isn't very much. Twitter has 192 million users. Assuming (extremely generously given that twitter is on the Internet and has a userbase that skews younger) that twitter matches America's partisan divide, it probably has

The winning approach is obviously in waiting for the other side to die off; the left is currently the majority, and the right is, on average, old. In this regard, it's absolutely a "viable approach": By making it low-status t

And yet nearly every UNIX system that was well-designed isn't case insensitive. I was pointing out correlation, not causation.

Because case insensitivity causes ambiguity and complexity for no meaningful benefit, and more often than not causes problems like in the post. This isn't a "Linux" thing for me; every UNIX and POSIX system that has been well

Yes, but no sensible people use case-insensitivity on Linux, and the amount of other people that do in a relevant context can probably be measured with four digits.
