  I wholeheartedly agree, the only censorship should be in the individuals hands and only affects them. Aka blocking other users or content from being displayed on your own account. My moral compass does not need to be everyone’s moral compass.

  As much as I hear you that this happens with other retailers. It doesn’t happen with Amazon from my experience, and those I’ve known personally. They take what you send back back and refund you, they sometimes say just keep it and we’ll send another to you, do with the old one as you will, they go to bat for you with Manufactures who are trying to weasel out of warranty responsibilities. So I can fully get on with not buying from Amazon for a ton of human reasons, Bezos, employee treatment and such, but when it comes to customer support they are top notch.

  I’m trying to tell myself that too and resist this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation”⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the same conversations have occurred in my household. I think you made the right choice here. I’m a huge gamer myself and developer, not on Roblox. Usually if anything it’s me being the lenient one when it comes to games in our home, vice my wife. This is one that I did not allow from day 1 regardless of the age of the kid. It was apparent to be a bad apple to me from my initial looks at it, and has only proven that point over the years. I can’t imagine though how hard it is for most parents who are not entrenched in that industry to navigate decisions like that.

  Federated doesn’t mean open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok requires users to “forever waive” rights to sue over past harms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like a potentially abusive spouse, asking their future spouse to waive all rights to seek legal recourse if they beat them in the future. This crap shouldn’t be legal.

  Nobody wants to do that

  It’s a cloud service now, so fully usable via the browser.

  I don’t see how any of this would hold up in court. I’m pretty sure you can’t be liable for a new tos for what is essentially new software that you didn’t use in your project. This company is clearly run by fucktards who are hoping to prey upon devs that just don’t know better or can’t fight back.
