You seem to be arguing in bad faith, perhaps from an emotional standpoint. But you seem to be genuinely stuck on the terms 'violation' and 'violence', so: The post I replied to introduced the term 'violated'. I

I think they mean it in the sense that they shouldn't have to. Why do you think they should have to?

I'll just add that it's highly likely this person just has queries set up to find mentions of their name. It's pretty common for people who (are likely to, or hope to) appear in news or other publications to set up Google Ale

Your line of questioning makes no sense. You are introducing the medium as an issue -- why? If you have would have a legal leg to stand on, ask a lawyer. Do you have a moral right? Yes, of course, you've been violated. Also, the "

Pretty much. Although in my case it just reminds once every few years that I set up some queries about an apparently uniquely named project that doesn't really exist any more, and the infinite monkey theorem.

The whole stack is undoubtedly doing a heap of clever things, they are very impressive devices. I'm not sure what "fully aware of touch precision" means exactly. I mentioned precision a few times to hint at the common misunde

Your web browser is broken. Well, they all are. Browsers on small screens should be built to browse web pages on small screens. There are seemingly obvious things to do like increasing font sizes[0] and margins -- the browser decides what t

It sounds like you think there's some conflict there, but I don't think they're making any claim that developers don't need income/support/food (they pretty much state the opposite) or that open source projects

At the heart of the issue is the fact that car traffic has been disrupted. To say this is an insult to the people of Australia gives the interlopers more respect than they deserve. Do not let the terrorists win. They are without honour. P

I think that's a fair question (and shouldn't be downvoted), but you're being na:ive. A couple of points: - The term 'media' is often applied with a broader scope than "traditional news media". - There are

It was a small part of the post and I think it was explained fairly. It's part of the context, and they don't think it should be ignored. JeanHeyd doesn't have to have mentioned it (or even thought about it) for it to be cons

Leaving (or excluding yourself from) something because of "personal reasons" is very different to excluding someone else because of your own discomfort, though.

Yes, it (often) is, and the set of "creative" occupations given are also (often) highly analytical activities. I don't think this is surprising to the programmers, at least -- "being able to create something from nothin

Gentle reminder that criticism isn't something you win or lose, and: - art criticism isn't objective and is not majority-rule - it is possible and healthy to criticise media that you enjoy - negative comments about a game you like

"A.I.-PR industrial complex" is a bizarre term, presumably coined by the author. I'm not sure what they mean by it, but seeing as "crypto" was one of its predecessors (as in the crypto-industrial complex?? The crypt

It's not that the inclusion of this one word is offensive and so the entire product is ruined. It's a matter of accessibility. The more of it (accessibility) your thing has, the more accessible the thing is. Why add something to

I find the shock / surprise / "but isn't this the same Microsoft that ..." reactions quite interesting. It happens with lots of topics, but Microsoft doing ~anything is a very reliable trigger. Yes, it's the sa

Yep, that's the same company. The same Microsoft is partnering with ifixit to sell (and control the sale of) parts and tools.

Don't worry about it. Nobody (potential competitors) cares. They might look up once your product is successful, but then you already have a successful product. > Are patents a good idea ? No.

Having your mouth washed out with soap is a "traditional" punishment, usually inflicted on those that have committed a mouth-related offence like swearing (if you can believe it) or smoking. It's now mostly a figure a speech.

Not sure if this is "prove it for fun because obviously they're lying" or serious mode, so I have several answers, none of which are bad advice and all of which are not jokes. - Assume it's not, because it isn't. Th
