This can go both ways. A majority view may be held complacently without being challenged much or often. A minority view encounters constant resistance and reminders that it is not held by many, and may potentially be more robust because of that. Either way, a belief ought to be based on facts and sound reasoning rather than group pressure, and even the most strongly held position ought to be held provisionally and subject to revision in the light of human fallibility.
I am not coming out swinging - my comment was very much about the reaction to the game and I never tried to pretend otherwise. I said my impression is that it's a B+ game at it's best, which means that its horrible technical failures and unscrupulous marketing are particularly glaring.

It has not been regarded as a flawed masterpiece, but something more like 2001's Anachronox - a solid game with strong elements, but in many ways mediocre and hardly justifying a tortured development cycle and myriad bugs.
Censoring is not good or bad. It is a tool. However, most people would consider this "bad".

Democrats do not control the Senate, and will not until after all of Ossoff, Warnock, and Harris (as VP) take office, which will be not earlier than exactly when Trump leaves.

More to the point, it takes a 2/3 vote in the Senate to convict, and Democrats will, even after all the newly elected figures relevant take office, have a bare majority due to the VP’s tie breaking vote, not a 2/3 supermajority.
i've used something called the "media bias fact check" to determine the left/rightness and reliable/unreliableness news sources are:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com

I have no affiliation with them, just perplexed by the same problems everyone else here is mentioning, and it has been helpful to use.

I also think it would be helpful if reporters listed their registered political party on their bylines, ie, "John Smith, Democrat/Republican/Libertarian/etc". Or if the TV reporters wore a sign stating as much.
This is a bit of a blanket ad hominem - these are not necessarily the same groups of people even if they occasionally share the same message.

Even with ultra-conservative circles, there has always been some unpopularity with the party line on economic issues. Free trade, education, etc.

> you could look up your own vote and the votes of your friends to confirm

You can't do that because visibility causes voting fraud.

By coercion. If votes can be checked by other people, a very large number of people (enough to change the result) will be forced under threat by someone else to "vote correctly".

The same happens if you can check your own vote, because any mechanism that lets you do that can usually be used by someone else - "give me your phone so I can check you voted for X like I told you to" (while holding a gun).

That's why free & fair elections have secret ballots, without personal identification on the ballots. To prevent coercion fraud.
Over the past 5 years r/politics has quietly banned users for thoughtful critical comments devoid of profanity (the proof has been shared elsewhere such as WatchRedditDie), and deleted inconvenient current event posts before they hit 100+ upvotes. The mods leave alone flippant casual unpersuasive conservative comments knowing they'll be downvoted and make conservatives look bad, and censor the thoughtful persuasive ones.

It hasn't been just the downvoting, but as the crowd is thinned, increasingly more bots inflate votes, and those who remain are more deeply steeped in their bias perhaps it will be mainly downvotes from here on out.
You sound like the guy to ask but what it actually looks like is she did nothing wrong and will not be reprimanded.
This isn't about censorship.

It's about supporting authoritarianism & getting people to tolerate the idea.
No, this was not protested IIRC, as it seems appropriate for speeding-tickets, running red lights, biking without light etc. Or Corona-measures for that matter ( which went through parliament ).

This almost makes me suspect that the Facebook executives behind this decision are secretly die hard pro-Trumpers.

Sure, it's definitely a bit spooky that people are going around saying the election was stolen when, as far as I can tell, there's no hard evidence of widespread cheating. (I'm open to changing my mind given sufficient evidence, I'm just saying that I haven't seen it yet.)

But this is the equivalent of Facebook saying "hmm, looks like there's a fire going on over there, better go and dump a barrel of oil on it to put it out". Of course people are going to notice that their posts are being deleted. And even if they didn't notice, Facebook is loudly and publicly announcing that they are removing those posts. This will naturally result in those people saying, "aha, this confirms that there is a liberal elite conspiracy against folks like me". It will only make them more certain that the election was stolen.

Honestly, I can't say I blame them for suspecting a conspiracy, given we've had similar moves by other tech companies. As a generally left wing person, what am I supposed to say? "Yeah, we know that all these social networks are acting all biased and stuff against people with your opinions, but it's not actually a conspiracy, just a bunch of people without the ability to predict what others will make of their actions all being idiots at the same time due to simple memetic contagion." I think that's actually what's going on, but I can definitely see how from the other side it looks like a conspiracy.
Where is this latest information? The articles timestamped today or yesterday still quote two officers saying he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. I don't see reference to your last point.
Most hardware vendors that implement this sort of functionality add prominent warnings to the lowest level boot screens notifying the user the device is "unlocked" or in "dev mode" or some such. The idea is that the absolute lowest levels of firmware remain signed and controlled, while giving the option of loading unsigned code on top.

So in theory, you get the best of both worlds. I don't think there's anything really stopping Apple from doing this, but as many others have said, it's not really their jam ;)
As has been said so often in the past year about other protests, they were “mostly peaceful“. It would be very difficult to prosecute on charges such as kidnapping, etc. because they are generally not true and very difficult to prove.

I assume you feel the same way about the antifa and BLM protesters who stormed the houses of the mayor of Seattle, the governor of Washington, and the mayor of Portland?

You might have a high enough meta score to get away with it. If you create a brand new account and post "stop the steal" it will probably be dead instantly. Or if you have a long history of posting unfounded inflammatory conspiracy theories.
Have you seen Parlor? It actually hosted and glorified violent videos. In comments, people were celebrating beating of cops.

As for BLM, I don't know if they have any central location where they plan any violence and then share videos of that.
Yes.

The "make producers pay" trope is also a fallacy imho. Packaging cost is just passed through the price to the consumer. Packaging and recycling are quite cheap for most products, so unpackaged goods are barely cheaper (often even more expensive, since enviromentally conscious stuff is "premium"). And unpackaged goods are damaged more often than properly packaged ones, so they'll rot on the shelves to be thrown away in a higher proportion. Consumers like their products nice and undamaged in presentable packaging, so they will subconciously prefer packaged goods. Therefore even with a slight decrease in per-item profits, producers will choose prettier packaging. So with only a slight price increase like paying for recycling, packaging will stay.

So to get rid of plastic packaging, we either need to ban it, make it vastly more expensive, far more than the consumer would want to bear, so they'd pick something unpackaged. But that is dangerous, because a cartel of producers could stay with packaging, then it is just another tax the consumer cannot avoid. Or we need to just ban certain kinds of packaging.

Also, there are hurdles for the sale of unpackaged goods, e.g. meat: I cannot take my own (reusable) plastic or metal box to the butcher's and have it filled with meat because of hygiene regulations preventing the butcher from handling my box. Supermarkets also are ill-equiped to deal with unpackaged goods in great quantities, dispensers, scales and stuff needs vastly more space. Just imagine the jam-shelf taking up as much space as the produce section, with some sticky floor due to the drippings...

> The consequence of not pushing back has done irreparable harm to this country...

Have you watched mainstream news sources over the last 4 or 5 years? Everything that Trump has done (for better or worse) has been met with constant pushback and criticism.

Even when he does something that everyone should see as a good thing (like multiple Middle-East peace deals), they find something to criticize about.
Why does it have to be in the US or Canada, places known to have extremely few protected bike lanes, and almost no protected intersections?

Look, on safe, Dutch-style infrastructure, you'll have even six year olds riding bikes semi-independently around (their parents will be near, but not, like, constantly bodyblocking cars from them). I know, because here in Munich we have some infrastructure like this, not as much as the Dutch, but some.

Now, how many six year olds do you think can safely 'take the lane' on busy American arterials independently from their parents? The idea is absurd on its face.

I have actual experience here with our son being as young as five, biking on city streets with us, and not just the calm local residential roads, something I would never do in the states at that age, and certainly not having him 'take the lane'. If I did that, I'd probably be getting a talking to from CPS, and rightly so.

The first step is to measure whatever can be easily measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can't be easily measured or to give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.

wrong thought will not be tolerated and is to be actively censored.

boy, we've taken quite a turn from where we were just a few years ago with conspiracy theories spreading like wild fire regarding Trump and Russia.

it would probably be better to actively engage believers of "Stop the Steal" with facts about the election vs. removing content that they are creating.

> This is illegal, and should be heard by a court. Maybe you think it was! But they don't.

Right, and this is the core of the issue. They were. That's a fact. You're saying "kowtow to people who are unwilling to accept reality and instead grasp onto increasingly violent conspiracy theories". I don't know what to do with that.

Conciliatory approaches haven't worked, in fact they've made things worse as they've allowed people to further radicalize.

> Completely insane people like Lin Wood are now where these people will be getting their information.

He was their source of information prior to any deplatforming. They were already only listening to the most insane voices. That's how we got here.

Removing the most insane elements is deradicalization. Showing people that actions have consequences is deradicalization. Refusing to kowtow is deradicalization. Anything else further emboldens those willing to share the conspiracies.

Living in Poland it was quite a surprise seeing a Polish company become a major success story in video games. Polish games failing time over time used to be a meme in Poland. That's why Witcher books' author wanted a flat fee instead of royalties. I suppose for people in the West CDPR was an indie darling, an unlikely hit plus relatively exotic setting. In Poland, it's a trailblazer and the definiton of AAA.
> Interesting business tactic. We'll have to see how that plays out.

I'd be happy if every mainstream ISP does this. Not because I agree to be clear, but because we could use some more competition in the market.

What unfortunate circumstances we find ourselves in when the cost of doing business with a company associated with white supremacists, insurrectionists, and murderers outweighs the benefits so much that other private businesses won't sell them things.

Everyone is entitled to force themselves on Apple, Google, Amazon, Twilio, Stripe, et al., right?

I find a depressing majority of the people screaming censorship at the top of their lungs believe people are not entitled to health care or free education in this country. That would be big government. People however are entitled to make you do business with them, even if it's financially damaging to you.
The baking company isn't the only game in town. But things like YouTube are factual monopolies. Therefore they should be treated like a utility.

Now, if every bakery in town refused to do a gay cake - that would be a problem.
I think you have this backwards. Once a government establishes censorship there's no going back from it, and nowhere for private citizens to escape it. Private individuals or companies censoring their own platforms is far less serious since, ideally, there are many ways to legally escape it.
Even with templates you can still keep the ABI stable, se for example libstdc++. Which is not surprising as they compile down to the equivalent C code.

I'm fed up.

Back in the day I would pay $50 and get a game like Tomb Raider 3 - I would play for hours and hours and no patch ever was needed because...ya know you can't patch something that's on a CD-rom as easily as when you're on Steam or some other launcher. Maybe there were some texture glitches but I never felt like I couldn't complete a game because of some missing feature, or major bug in the story/gameplay.

Well now - 23ish years later, games come out and they're full of bugs - when will it stop?
In both of the racial examples, people are attempting to correct past injustices. BIPOC people never received a court settlement for the injustices against them. Politicians left it up to citizens on how to repair the damage, so to do nothing seems far short of adequate, but it's a fair debate about how far to go.

How many black people still alive today saw signs that said "No blacks allowed" back in the 60s? I guess your neighbor saw the Buy Nothing post as basically saying "No whites allowed".

I could see the original poster's intent being "I'm sorry BIPOC that you haven't been treated as fairly as I have, and I want to help". Calling that discriminatory is a bit harsh, but I'm sure that doesn't feel good to a non-BIPOC person who's struggling and could really benefit from the item.

I think there's a concerted effort since George Floyd to understand the plight of BIPOC people and help them feel safe and respected in the community, where they at times have felt the need to be invisible to be safe.

It's like doing a fund raiser for indigenous people, trying to acknowledge that a group has been wronged and trying to help that group feel respected again.

But it's a fine line for sure. At the point it becomes an anti-white thing rather than a pro-BIPOC thing, the conditions change dramatically.
No, the one that says "well regulated"
If you only need to VLAN-tag the 4 ports on that one device, you can do it with like… about literally anything? e.g. an Archer C1750 with OpenWRT does that easily.

The benefit of UniFi is that you can centrally control a bunch of switches. It's definitely overkill and overpriced if you just want an all-in-one.
So it's only blocking for people who requested such blocking, then the title is just click bait, I guess "ISP let's it's users block websites they dislike" is not as catchy.

> Many of the worst bugs originated in story pathways that would only be triggered if various conditions had occurred

I think the absolute worst bug I encountered was because of this, but I don't believe the story pathway that triggers it was uncommon. In fact, that condition apparently has a major effect on the story later.

Basically it was part of a main story quest where you have to wait a day for a character to call you before the quest can continue. But I never got a call. I saw a lot of threads on the issue, and it seems the bug happens if you did some optional dialogue right beforehand. But unlike other optional dialogue in the game, this optional dialogue was really hard to miss. I had to actively run past an NPC to avoid it.

I ended up losing about an hour of gameplay from that bug :/

I agree with you that it was likely because they changed something last minute and never checked it again; a QA failure for sure. And my theory is the COVID situation made QA testing a nightmare. Still ... that bug was brutal. Every "wait for X to call you" quest after made me anxious.
