I dunno, this is an ascending scale of innate power. Sounds like privilege to me

I'm torn between "keep our girl's name out your fucking mouth" and "hell yeah, badass, long live the queen". Leaning toward the former tbh

I'm a proponent of the theory that the weasel in the LHC is what opened the rift

The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren't the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don't know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren't part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

It's the statutory rape comment that I don't like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don't think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be "cancelled" here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

I see now my comment didn't reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.

Notch back in the day, now this dude who I had immense respect and admiration for. At least we still have Kyzrati (please no jinx). And I swear to God if Tarn or Zach ever fall from grace...

"Completely normal" takes that are on the level of "I'm not racist, but...". That is the proof.

A take can be common, pervasive, and bigoted.

It is a loss if someone doesn't feel comfortable supporting or even touching the game after hearing this. It's a beloved game that unfortunately, but deservingly, will be tarnished by the dev's public views.

I'd love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I've ever eaten.

It should have no issue continuing as it looks to be a hard fork. I use it too, so hopefully it just becomes the de facto app.

Nearly irrelevant xkcd

At least in software we know where the linchpins are on some level.

Obviously there's the overall juxtaposition, but I really like the proportional dampness.

Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.
