I think you can generalize it even further to don’t reward bad behavior. That should include purchasing goods and services from organizations that try to exploit people or commoditize art.

I tend to go for the fire hose approach with news agencies AP, democracy now, CCN, RT Al Jazeera, BBC, France 24, Fox, common dreams, NPR, pew research, open source post, and a few geographically local sources. Entertainment pbs has a few, tvline, xkcd. Using capy reader.

- Comment on Setting up a DOS/Win98 system for gaming 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s true, if you want to expose the file system to them to add/remove ROMs it’s probably not the right option without a dual boot or USB stick with another distro on it.
- Comment on Setting up a DOS/Win98 system for gaming 2 weeks ago:
Another option to consider is batocera if they are going to use it exclusively for retro gaming and you want to keep the UI simple and easy to use. Dos x86 emulation and a bunch of other emulators including scumm, consoles, handhelds, etc.

- Comment on Aged like milk 2 weeks ago:
If I got this right you took something I didn’t say as your foundational point to argue against, said that I should say what you want me to say instead to be truthful, and that advocating for intolerance against the intolerant is dumb because you’ve defined it to either include or require political violence.
I guess you get points for boldness, but -10 points from gryphondorf for arguing with yourself.
And to be clear; supporting assassinations & enjoying the poetic justice of someone who advocates for gun violence and that some people should be killed for who they were born as and not their choices getting killed by a gun are not the same thing.

Nobody is immune to bias, you just have to know what the right bias is to push in your marketing. It’s what makes advertising propaganda so insidious, it’s like the flu everyone is susceptible.

Same argument Sony gave when EverQuest 2 launched with stupid high required specs. World of Warcraft launched a month later you could run on any video card from the last 5 years and the whole franchise still hasn’t recovered.

Return to monkey island was pretty fun if you enjoy the originals or telltale versions. The movement and gunplay in d2 was a lot of fun, too bad they screwed up so bad with the expansions and monetization.
- Comment on Aged like milk 3 weeks ago:
He did support gun violence, wasn’t his whole motif the only way to stop a bag guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, and armed guards in schools to prevent mass shootings? That’s clearly advocating for gun violence to avoid the obvious solution of better gun control regulations. He was willing to accept violent gun deaths in support of his 2a position.

“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.” - Karl Popper

Get wrecked white supremacist fascist, advocate for gun violence and against empathy means you shouldn’t be surprised when someone takes you up on that bet.
“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - G M Gilbert

Pay scientists to do peer review and reproduction studies, it’s negligent for any organization to fund novel research only and not also contribute to error correction and resilience when LLMs are now available. If you can’t pay for it at least release the data for reproducing the analysis. To do neither should be seen as incomplete and suspicious.

- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 1 month ago:
I switched from using paper notebooks to take lecture notes to using a computer for most classes around 2nd year of college and it was about the same. I mostly used the notes for spaced repetition when going over the material again a week or so after the lecture and helped keep my focus on the material during the lectures. It’s also easier to share notes with a study group if they’re already digital.
