I just think games should not push real world politics, period. This applies to that stream thing, and also to this thing you are talking about.

He lost his job for using an official stream to push his politics. That's a huge difference that everybody is deciding to ignore for some reason... outrage culture I guess.

I'd argue that this is completely and absolutely political. Just deciding that this guy is a tyrant is political.

Hmm, reminds me that a loooong time ago I used a Linux distro that had a log viewer, and the icon of the log viewer was a pile of lumber logs.

"Human rights" = politics. Blizzard can choose what they broadcast using their streams. I'm sure if someone decided to wear a tshirt with a fasces in it you'd agree... but since this is on the other side of the spectrum

I doubt Raymond cares, it's not like they are going to fire him.

Seems reasonable that they don't want to allow players to push their politics using the official Blizzard streams. They are free to do so in their spare time. What do you think Blizzard would do if some guy wore a MAGA hat in an offici

Raymond has always made it very clear that this is his personal blog and that it's not official by any measure.

Reminds me of the good ol' "what kind of person would assist the ICE finding and deporting illegals". Answer: not everybody agrees with your views on politics.

That is exactly my point. If you've never heard a word you can never know how it's pronounced. That's not the case with Spanish where I can make up a word and everybody will pronounce it (almost) the same way.

I disagree with spoken English being a sane language. I have yet to find a deterministic way of knowing how to pronounce a word I haven't heard before. I can make up a word in Spanish and I know everybody will pronounce it the same way

I think they are reading too much into what basically is a question of design, to be honest. They just want to display videos fullscreen.

I dislike advertising as much as the next guy but really, what alternatives do websites like reddit have?

It's more like the writer was saying "nobody cares about poor people, but hey, if we say the victims are blacks and latinos... that's going to get some support from someone". Which is rather sad since being poor is bad f

NXDOMAIN unlike SERVFAIL is cached for whatever the regular TTL is. So yeah, seems like this person is complaining about something that would've gone wrong anyway

I get captchas on google.com all the time, especially if I make several complicated queries with operators in a short time span. And as this other guy says you are guaranteed to get a captcha from Tor
