My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me
I think it’s the only fair compromise. I think we should respect a right to delete. But I don’t think that right to delete should be powerful enough to smother discussion. The person who started the communal thread should not have the power to silence everyone who participates.

Sooooo… he’s NOT leaving YouTube?
Dig 2 didn’t really develop things like I hoped but they’re both fun little games
You’re into Blender also? We should have tea sometime.
It was cheap so I bought it on the basis of this thread and it’s a fun little game but the “programming” elements are vastly overstated. Compares with Noita, not with Desynced, or a Zachlike
You’re not going to satisfy unmet emotional needs with logical arguments.

It’s not enough to simply not purchase EA product. One should actively oppose theme. ALESSANDRO.
why? what’s the commonality?
It’s fucking my shit right up that AW apparently ran on SCUMM??? That can’t be right!!
They don’t have “a” narrative that can be refuted. Any narrative that they present is facile and can be changed in mid sentence. Addressing the things they say is a waste of effort, even as counter-propaganda. It costs them orders of magnitude less to spread bullshit than it costs you to spread the antidote. This is just another way that they get you.
I don’t mean to devalue organizing and peaceful protest, but the benefits are what it does to us, not what it does to them.
I really love this model of Snoopy.
If you don’t drink, don’t drink.
I think the distinction between data acquisition and data application is important. Consider the parallel of photography; you are legally and ethically entitled to take a photo of anything that you can see from public (ie, you can “scrape” it). But that doesn’t mean that you can do anything you want with those photos. Distinguishing them makes the scraping part a lot less muddy.
Yes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.
Are you saying that the mere action of scraping is fair use, or that absolutely anything you do with the data you scrape is also fair use?
An “off” switch… She’ll get years for that! Off switches are illegal.
You can bring your own containers. They will tare them (ie weigh them and mark them with their mass) and then you can fill them as much or little as you like. On Sundays, you get an extra discount for bringing your own containers.
I am less concerned with the long term traces we leave. Social interactions are ephemeral (or were, prior to moving them to the Internet) and we are here trying to meet our social needs, not necessarily to Build A Better World. I am all for the things we say naturally expiring and falling out of the record.
What bothers me is how a living conversation can be killed. And in such a way as to make it difficult even to find the people you were just interacting with again, if you don’t happen to remember their account ID.
