  How is what you quoted “standing up” to anything? Am I missing something?

  Lol

  Yeah it is because you don’t have to worry about responsive, cross browser compatibility, limiting asset use, accessibility, SEO…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was surprised to have a fairly unusual setup with fairly unusual peripherals, and everything pretty much worked out of the box, except for one software (philips hue sync) for which there is an open source alternative (huenicorn, and it wasn’t built-in as Linux drivers are, because it’s specialized and requires a special interface)

  When you ask for a refund under Steam’s 2h/14d policy, it’s Steam offering the refund. Past that, the request is passed on the developer

  At least that’s how I’ve heard it described, idk for sure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Nickel and Cobalt considered ferrous?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not considered ferrous because they don’t contain iron, if they’re considered ferrous in some domains then I suppose it’s a jargon use of the term specific to that domain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the problem you’re describing, it does happen to me as well, but OP is specifically talking about spelling, which I generally do find to be worse in posts from native speakers

  They only implemented those in bedrock edition, available in the MS store… I’d rather they add it into Java edition so us Linux gamers can use them, and not tie them exclusively with NVidia

  Mojang’s “stealing” started from at least the pistons in 2011, 3 years before the acquisition. Credit was given to the original mod author under “Additional programming”, and they did reuse the actual code from the mod

  I don’t think it’s fair to call that stealing, for multiple reason:

  • copyright of game mechanics should never be supported, if we serioussly consider this stealing then a lot of innovation will be completely hampered, and videogames will be subject to abuses worse than what exists in other creative industries. Copyright on game concepts would be akin to copyright on camera angles, special effects, etc…
  • mods are only available on PC. Taking ideas from the community and incorporating them into the base game makes the content available for everyone, even vanilla PC players
  • Mojang’s has been very decent with OG mod authors, often being assisted by said authors to incorporate their content into the game, see how they worked with the author of Mo’ Creatures, a mod for animals, to add the horse into the game

  AFAIK you can’t overdose b12, but in any case I’d follow a doctor’s advice

  Lol no, this is because this community is managed by leftists who are squatting the name lol

  Stop infantilizing women.

  "Are they consenting adults"is the only question people should be allowed to ask about a couple without being publicly shamed.

  I mean, if your instructions were to quote some random name which does not exist, maybe you would ask your professor and he’d tell you not to pay attention to that part

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Putin only exists because Russians resent the west after having been sidelined despite foregoing communism (which Gorbachev did in the hope that Russia would be able to join, and benefit from trade with, the liberal bloc)

  If you think they’ll resent Putin and not the west for every minor (and some major) annoyance brought by sanctions, you are ignoring decades of policies done in the same spirit and resulting in the exact opposite of the intended effect. All this does is demonstrate to the Russians that the west is indeed their enemy, and thereby reinforce Putin and the likes of him.

  All sanctions do is target innocents and reinforce whatever government the US is supposedly targeting. See literally every single country sanctioned by the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone has a VPN or can use proxies extremely easily nowadays, especially in Russia. Literally all this does is creating a precedent of a parts manufacturer (““manufacturer”” in the case of nvidia), and y’all are cheering because “fuck russians”.

  All this does is creating this bad precedent while accomplishing exactly nothing

  Absolutely idiotic take that endangers not only Linux but fractures the concept of open source itself.
