When I open my task manager I see flatpak-session-helper near the top of the list for ram usage and am suspicious

Literally billions of instances of censorship every year, the DMCA is such an awful law

but I’m playing it in English, so I guess I wouldn’t have anyway?

The text in the screenshot in the reddit post they link is in English

The article brings up good criticisms, like all the minors getting molested due to the platform being negligent, and manipulative in game spending options. Paying for online content creation work doesn't seem as bad as that to me though.

Ms. Chatman was struck, in part, by her own experiences at the school in contrast to Mr. Damsky’s award. She had proposed teaching a class during her time there called “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.” But administrators at the law school changed the name to “Entrepreneurship,” she said, before listing it in the course catalog.

She attributed the change to Florida lawmakers’ crackdown on diversity-oriented language and themes in public education, a push that preceded the Trump administration’s broader war on progressive ideology.

Sounds like the college agrees, though maybe not about which ones

“It’s just that — neutrality,” she added. “The government — in this case, our public university — stays out of picking sides, so that, through the marketplace of ideas, you can debate and arrive at truth for yourself and for the community.”

Some at the law school agree with her stance. In an interview, John F. Stinneford, a professor at the university, said that it would be “academic misconduct” for a law professor who opposed abortion to give a lower grade to a well-argued paper advocating abortion rights.

This makes sense to me as a principle, but the idea that the paper is genuinely making a good argument seems really questionable.

Among originalists, though, this interpretation [apparently that “We the People,” refers to white people, and therefore the constitution applies to them exclusively] has been widely rejected. Instead, conservatives have argued that much of the text of the Constitution “tilts toward liberty” for all, said Jonathan Gienapp, an associate professor of history and law at Stanford. They also note that the post-Civil War amendments guaranteeing rights to nonwhite people “washed away whatever racial taint” there was in the original document.

Sounds like not even other originalists take it seriously. On its face the idea seems really stupid, since the wording of that part of the constitution doesn't involve race, and whiteness has always been a very loosely defined concept with a lot of ambiguity that wouldn't be a natural fit for a legal principle. So maybe the paper is getting a high grade and an award is itself a display of personal bias.

To me it seems fine, especially if there's still a free version that's basically the same or it gets released after a delay. I don't think I'd pay for something like this myself, and maybe they're taking some legal risk, but if the money lets them spend time making media accessible, how is there a problem that outweighs the good?

Doesn't that game already have a "behavior score"?

Its not a “boomer” issue. Its a rich vs poor issue

This, real estate is a form of wealth, and as the distribution of wealth becomes more one sided housing is naturally going to follow it as long as the law enables it to be used as an investment.

Unfortunately at the end of the day people like this will still be rich and not have to worry about the problems the rest of us do.
