Supporting free speech doesn't mean that you support absolute free speech without any limitation. We all have a lot of rights, and exercising those rights can impinge on the rights of others. Why would freedom of speech be somehow spec

I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. It's clear that the discussion is about general public-facing government websites. Something for which the intended audience is a large portion of the population.

The sentence "seems ... to me" already carries that meaning.

If I understand you correctly, the issue is that the Swedish government used jargon masquerading as a common word, and as a result people didn't understand the meaning. That's another example of jargon being a problem!

I don't have the book at hand. Do you have a more precise quote?

Your examples are not jargon, they're metaphors. Jargon exists because specialists in a subject want to communicate quickly among themselves, instead of paraphrasing all the time. I'm a mathematician, if I had to use plain-English

Well, what's the difference between a "strong non-legal mandate" and a "helpful tip"? Either it's mandatory or not.

Using fewer words introduces less cognitive load and drives your point better. For example, you wrote "The advice [...] seems somewhat pointless to me." Well, are you saying that it is pointless, or not? I don't know you, so

This is not the reason jargon exists. What made you say that? > It's the reason that the speaker used all of the tech jargon (launching a website). If they didn't do that then we would think they didn't know about websites

I'm tired of installation instructions that consist of "curl | sh". Especially since this one just tries to detect the platform and downloads the correct installer for me. I know what platform I'm running, and I don&#x27

I don't think anyone has ever asserted copyright on the bible. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about? As for pamphlets, copyright can never prevent you from printing something that you created.

This is especially infuriating as a European visiting the US, where a bunch of services are geo-fenced to American IPs. In several towns, I couldn't pay for parking or buy a bus ticket because the online service is geo-fenced and there

That's a nice saying, but it does not really hold true. Sure, banks aren't going to repossess Musk's house or anything like that. But they will recover what they're owed, in some form or the other. That's pretty muc

Is he asking for nothing? Half of the post is about how Mojang got millions then billions and he got nothing. If he's not asking for what he considers to be his share of the pie, then I don't know what the whole post is about.
