Either you can't distinguish bullet hell games from porn or you're projecting.

Touhou is just a bullet hell game, relax. Being this upset over it is more a reflection where your mind is at rather than everyone else's.

This is pretty cool! I like the creativity. The games this is based on are pretty good too. Danmaku are hypnotic

Apple doesn't get to dictate what constitutes a good user experience. Especially for me - that is my prerogative and mine alone. So yes, I will be extremely happy with it. This opens doors to all kinds of software that can compete wi

I disagree. As far as technicality goes, PGP is a pretty strong decentralized model. GnuPG is a pretty solid implementation of PGP. Are they perfect? No. Do they merit this much criticism? Obviously not. This whole thing reads like an opini

Parents, for their children’s best interests, have a prerogative to control what their children are exposed to. Social media is absolutely within that domain. I’m inclined to believe anyone who disagrees with that principle is a potential p

Nice straw man, but I’m right here. Go see what I’m actually objecting to after reading my post a little more critically. Read the other post in this thread while you’re at it.

Amazing. I make a case for the legitimacy of authority of parents and your first reaction is a veiled attack on the nuclear family unit. Please, go on. Tell us all just what you intend to do with those children.

Predators go on social media sites to pass off as children in order to groom those children all the time. Don’t feign ignorance at the fact that age verification techniques helps site operators weed those weirdos out.

Anyone who’s looked critically at the studies of social media on teens, especially teenage girls, will observe how catastrophic its effects are on the mental health of the minors. It spikes anxiety, reduces confidence, and induces dopamine

No, he’s right. The GPL has everything to do with freedom. Money and monetary aspects are entirely orthogonal to the GPL and the FSF as a whole. This is said by Stallman and the GNU projects itself. https://www.gnu.org/philo
