Another problem is the term 'harm' (just like 'freedom of speech') has also been poisoned by those on the left who would have you believe words are more dangerous than actual violence. When actual discussions and convers

I do believe that should've also been in their threat model - these guys should've acted like they were hosting The Pirate Bay 2 given the state of American politics. For instance, they could've had a low-traffic backup in re

As much as I don't like Parler's digital death sentence from Silicon Valley, they should've known this was coming and prepared. It doesn't take a genius to know that such a controversial website is going to get dropped,

They probably said the same things about cargo planes once.

Yeah, Steam's DRM implementation is ancient and well known to be compromised. They never really push it, but publishers demand it to "feel" safe. The biggest hook is that many people prefer games on Steam due to the added ben

Stubby still uses HTTP as the transport layer. You're probably thinking of REST.

C++ still dominates in most of Google's 'big' systems, most of which are implemented as HTTP servers.

No, the Steam for Linux + Hardware effort definitely got Microsoft moving: https://www.onmsft.com/news/the-story-of-how-valves-move-to-...

I think the poster means that Hillary Clinton has a habit of glorifying violence, as do most US politicians.

I did not create a throwaway to troll, but for safety. People have tried to harass me out of my job for being a conservative (not Trumper) before. > I find it mind numbing that the same people that want to live on Parler because "fr

Yup that's pretty much it. To Monzo's credit they seem to make a point to work without Google Play Services, but iOS users would be screwed in the event the App Store was blocked.

Why is a moderation strategy required at all? If I wanted to create a platform which followed US law and nothing else, I would be instantly deplatformed. Really, all I need is a legal department.

Many banks don't provide HTTP endpoints (except for business versions). My bank, Monzo, does not. My other bank TSB does provide a website, but it's awful.

From the perspective of an "irrational actor": Brexit was much more about not liking the political policies of the EU than about cutting the UK off from the rest of the world.

Eh, investing in something like a Mars mission could return on investment many times here on Earth, that might solve those problems quicker. E.g. vertical farming tech.

If we condemn it for one, we must condemn it for all. Or is egalitarianism (even for the worst people) no longer a principle most people uphold?

You know, if these people weren't pushed off the mainstream platforms they may have been de-radicalized by regular people before things got worse. Just look at how QAnon festered underground until it was too late to get rid of.

Creating a cancel culture is exactly what the Nazis did to push their agenda. I can be anti-Nazi and pro-free speech.

There is not enough people in the world to moderate social media.

Well, I'm European and also believe in absolute free speech. Doesn't seem that ridiculous to me.

Why don't you post your LinkedIn if you feel so strongly that we shouldn't be anonymous for our own protection? I hate both extremes and I don't want to risk the thugs from either side (nazis or communists) bashing my skull i

You're joking, right? I for one am proud of Cloudflare for taking a stand against cancel culture, because one of these days it could hit you or me and I want to support people who will stand in behind me in the name of free speech.

What's wrong with going to restaurants and public events? If people don't want to be locked down, there's not much you can do about that.

> Increase taxes on the wealthy, etc. Anyone working for a Silicon Valley company as an engineer is almost certainly considered "the wealthy" by most of America.

I recently ordered a Valve Index + gaming PC. How's the VR support on Linux looking like? I'd rather not install Windows if I have to.
