Censorship is bad, but Facebook and X's entire business models revolve around spreading content that is at once false and inflammatory, either just to create engagement or for more malicious purposes, and they reach a huge portion of the population directly, including children, teenagers, the mentally ill and other vulnerable populations. This requires a new understanding of accountability for spreading information.

I wouldn't agree that it makes sense to hold a Mastodon instance responsible for what its users post, because they don't have a financial incentive or the ability to promote misinformation at a massive scale. Twitter does. As Aristotle said, we must treat equals equally, and treat the unequal unequally according to the form and extent of their inequality.

It's not an official Nintendo product.

I think that the point is "Rowling claims to want to protect cis women but even cis women would be harmed if she got her way, so nobody actually benefits". Maybe it's too charitable an interpretation but then again maybe not.

I squarely disagree. People who dedicate as much time and energy to making life worse for others as her are clearly living with intense negative emotions that they don't know how to deal with in a healthy manner. Happy people don't campaign against rights for others. Rowling is clearly a miserable and pathetic person. In the game of life, she's losing to the average favela musician who has no money but loves their community.

The sea is not "a salt brine in itself". You need a much higher salt concentration to pickle anything than what you find at any point in the ocean. Enough to prevent microbial life forms from surviving and consuming whatever it is you're trying to pickle, which is why it doesn't rot while pickling.

uBlock Origin works in Firefox for me. No ads on YT.

You talk as though closed-source developers reviewed all the upstream code. The exact same problem exists with closed-source, except there isn't even the possibility of reviewing all the code if you want to. At worst, the lack of review in FOSS projects is on par with closed-source projects. At best, it's a much smaller problem .

Use Bazzite or Nobara Linux. SteamOS is likely to stay focuaed on gaming handhelds for a while still.

Ah yes, censorship in the service of capital.

Thanks for the comprehensive lesson. Not living in an English-speaking country, I was utterly confused.

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! Releases Killer Instinct Gold

Does something shitty. (in all likelihood)

It's not strictly a cover since it's oficially promoted by the band and even has Till Lindemann on vocals but Sven Helbig recorded a wonderful piano version of Mein Herz Brennt by Rammstein.
