Either theft is wrong regardless of who the victim is, or your moral standard changes depending on whether you like the target.

Amazing that your 'gotcha' is just two false statements.

Theft isn't wrong regardless of the victim - it's nuanced, just like all crime. That's why we have very complicated legal processes to determine guilt and appropriate punishments.

Our morals don't change depending on whether we like the target - it's that our judgments are based on context.

The cool thing about ethics, morals, principles, etc.. They're all made up. We invented them. They have no objectivity (as far as we know) and therefore can and have changed based on our feelings. "Ethics" is just humans agreeing to do things a certain way because it makes us feel good, or doing things the other way makes us feel bad. There is no objective truth to it that you can so easily plug in a problem and get an objective answer.

Or is the world you want to live in just completely binary? No room for nuance?

Well, what am I supposed to label you as? The lady got Calgary and the guy got Ottawa. Are you claiming all of Canada? Making your label "Guy from the entirety of Canada"

YOU are the one that cannot tell the difference! You seem to not know where you are.

You: Don't believe it! It's a shitpost!

Everyone: Haha Yeah it's a shitpost. That's... Why we're here.

You: No, you don't get it! It's not real!

Everyone: Yeah, we know.

You: I'm the only one who knew!!

While the content of this article may be valid, I couldn't help but scoff when he mentions his test running Meet through Brave.. Pot, meet kettle.

Fuck that. Add bigotry filters to appease the bigots? No offense, but that's a terrible idea. These people need to get out of their ignorant bubbles, not have more tools to stay in them.

It's just as easy for you to skip reading their rants about a game as it is for them to not play the game in the first place.

Unironically, the Google Pixel is ironically one of the best phones you can get to de-Google your smartphone experience. For now.

Yet a major factor for people being hesitant to switch is how their gaming experience will differ, so seeing differences might be useful.

Use Steam.

Download Battle.net Launcher.

Add it as non steam game.

Run it and install like normal.

Do not sign in. Close it.

In a terminal, type this: find ~ -name Battle.net

Look for a line like: /home/~you~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compdata/#############/pfx/drive_c/....

Those ###s are Battle.net's steam ID on your system.

Back on Steam, right-click Battle.net and click Properties.

Change the Target line to: "/home/~you~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compdata/~your numbers~/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net Launcher.exe"

Set Compatibility to Proton 10 beta.

Now launch Battle.net and install WoW.

I don't like microtransactions, but can you come up with a source of revenue for a game that allows for constant updates that include new features, mechanics, artwork, audio, etc. that isn't MXT or ads?

The people that will be angry about MXT are the same that would be angry their game hasn't seen any major updates in 5-10 years, like their initial investment somehow supports unlimited development. It's just not feasible.

I installed it a week or so ago.. it was alright. Didn't care much for the DE animations, switched back to Mint the same day. Good for the lulz (and on-demand waifu pics).
