It’s foolish not to buy what’s on sale.

“Also, that guy over there is using a magnifying glass to light paper on fire, ignore me using napalm since fire is just fire”

There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.

But that costs $ and Microsoft doesn’t make money by spending it when they absolutely don’t have to.

Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)

And…

but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.

Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

Hah. As somebody that had to be driven to the bus stop because it was over a mile away, I call BS.

People go to casinos and play slots for a hit of brain chemicals. They’re not there for art. Nor are whales in most mobile games.

I’ll bet some exec thinks an AI-enhanced Skinner box would interesting to see.

Non-existent in the US thanks to whack-ass tariffs unfortunately. We love hindering our adoption of climate change reducing technology for political points.

Thanks to federation, the copies of the eggs are. You can’t stop one instance from selling data sourced from federated content until it’s too late.

Oh no, it’s the consequences of my actions by putting all my eggs in one basket and giving a corporation incredible leverage.

Maybe they should derisk their infrastructure then…

You think Microsoft has no assets in Europe? Asset seizure is a sure fire way to get paid when companies refuse to cooperate.

Arch isn’t going anywhere. There will always be builds for power users. If not, forks will happen.
