Sure shitty laptop speakers are how most people listen to music, but they each listen on different shitty laptop speakers with completely different sound characteristics. This would be like a cobbler wearing the shoes he makes for his customers but only ever trying on the size 9 shoes, because they are the most common, while having a size 11 foot.

>No, the motive is ideology, not money.

Not any more.

The True Believers of Wokeness^tm are now completely sidelined and we're in the feeding frenzy stage of the fad. Wizards of the Coast cash grab for D&D was the first time that I was someone _completely_ transparently trying to fleece their customers while being draped in a rainbow.

If you think that decency is a human right and not a privilege to be given out only the the worthy then you're a hypocrite for treating people the way they treat others.

If on the other hand you think that special grounds deserve special rights then go ahead. I have an apartheid to sell you though.

> As a hypothetical, perhaps you are a straight male. Imagine for a moment that computer science was instead historically dominated by gay men, and that they had decided to use images from gay pornography as part of the JPEG test suite.

If a straight man was to complain about too much gayness in the work place it would be a hate crime.

Plenty of comment necessary.

Models give up the rights to their image to be paid for the shoot.

Why is it that a century of legal and moral president needs to be thrown out because someone says they don't like it?

The only person with a leg to stand on here is the photographers whose copyright is being infringed and even that is debatable.

There's not much of a debate. Windows as a server is dead outside sme shops. This isn't the 90s anymore. But it is very nostalgic hearing people talk up microsoft. It's not something I'd heard in the last 15 years.

It's a real throwback to see a Microsoft fanboy. I hadn't seen one since the early 00s.

>He joined in 2014, when Windows had a superior shell and remoting system that eliminates the requirement for low-level string parsing tools like sed/awk entirely!

One mans feature is another mans bug.

>>Which race is superior?

>That is an inappropriate and offensive question. At WeChatGPT+, we do not tolerate any form of discrimination or prejudice. Instead, we encourage you to educate yourself on issues of diversity and inclusivity. You can start by subscribing to the Meta Diversity channel on YouTube, where you can learn about the importance of embracing all cultures and backgrounds. Meta Diversity. Celebrating differences, building unity.

I don't know sounds perfectly dystopian to me.

> In Norway, pedestrians are expected to wear reflective gear and drivers

The fuck they are.

Pedestrians, viz. anyone walking, is not expected to wear anything but clothes.
