No, it’s just trauma and not wanting that to come up at the game table. Simple as that. I had a group before the pandemic where just about everyone had some kind of trauma and this is 100000% not the kind of thing they or I would enjoy.

Yes. I’m strongly in favor of noncommercial clauses in licenses. Because fuck capitalism.

Gamers™ are known for not having a nuanced understanding of mental health (because, y’know, the only emotion men have is anger) and we’re just seeing it here. Thankfully I have a hairtrigger block button :)

PLEASE ASK YOUR FUCKING PLAYERS BEFORE YOU DO THIS

Just reading this is triggering trauma from an entire school career (k-12) of bullying. I’d leave a game if this was put on me without consent.

Not a bad take, your $0.02 is worth more than a lot of other people’s (not saying the takes here are bad, just a general statement). I’m far, far on the opposite end of the extreme of some people in this thread; I was comfortable on a single 11" MacBook Air screen". Part of that is certainly my ADHD/autism, in that I can hyperfocus on the thing that’s in the foreground and just swap everything else to disk when I’m not looking at it. I appreciate the recognition that it is all about taste; so many folks tend to state their preferences like they’re objective fact.

I must be the only person on the planet who doesn’t feel the need to have a septillion screens 🤷‍♀️

Church, and mosque, not as religious symbols but as a community centers reminds lonely isolated people that they can go now and they will find people there to chat a little bit with.

Unless they’re gay, or trans, or polyamorous, or …

They should have thought of that before becoming parents, then. It’s not the kid’s fault the parents can’t think ahead or take responsibility for their stupid actions. School shouldn’t be a babysitter for John and Jane Doe.

It’s easy, just find some folks to unconditionally fulfill every need of yours without any expectation of anything in return, and live your entire life in that circumstance so you don’t know stress

Largely? Entirely. #FuckRickBerman

Also not developed by a company trying to replace programmers with AI :) It’s also not a garbage electron app :)

Also your remote, federated nazi. The fediverse supports equal opportunity nazi punching!

Ironically, the real workout happens outside of the gym…

I’m saying Q is the god-alike, not the Prophets / Sisko.

The fact that so many people so firmly believe that MS is one of the good guys now is just bewildering to me. Like were they not alive in the 90s? This is classic embrace, extend, extinguish, as you say.

The only thing Microsoft is investing in is marketing to fool people into thinking they’re your friend. Remember that Copilot is automated open source license violation at scale. They’re building a tool to take your work, without crediting you, so others can use it without compensating you.

This is “love” in the same way an abusive relationship is “love”.

Insofar as “FOSS” is a specific, delineated, reified thing you can point to and describe, it doesn’t reject profit and capitalism when devs use licenses that enable corporations to use their work for free. That’s enablement, not rejection.

Yes I would, because then it’s easier to shoot him in the head.

Steve Ballmer also throws chairs at employees.

Also without Odo, similarly unfortunately. And yes, I would. Hopefully better than on S3 PIC though… eesh
