I like it more here because I don’t get banned for saying I think more conservatives should drink raw milk so they’ll get listeria and die

Socrates didn’t have access to modern science. This shit rots your brain.

Because most people who search for that are looking for the nazi stuff, not advertising fluff for a Slavic-inspired video game

It’s literally the first result when searching the phrase “Slavic emoji” on google. Hanlon’s razor applies. Most normal people are not aware of any nazi symbols other than the swastika

Given it was an advertisement for a game inspired by Slavic mythology, “Slavic emoji” means “advertisement for a game inspired by Slavic mythology” in this case. Do you think the developers of The End Of The Sun are nazis?

Debian won, I’m trying it first. So far so good, using KDE because Arch ran pretty well with it, but will likely try i3 if this gets slow. Side note: This is the first distro I’ve tried that shows accurate colors on my laptop! I’d resigned myself to always having a slightly washed out, slightly cool color palette. Not anymore! It looks normal!

this sequence can only be found on a site by or about Nazis.

I mean, that exact sequence is in the header of the first result for an ostensibly innocent google search. Spend some time where normal people hang out, and you’ll find that a lot of them can’t clock Nazi dogwhistles. I’ve personally had to explain the significance of “14/88” to people who thought I was nuts for calling the My Pillow guy a nazi

This is what you get when you google “Slavic emoji” BTW

Oh hey look all of those emoji from the email are on there

Is there literally even one other time in the entire history of their company that they’ve shown anything that suggests sympathy towards white supremacy? Hanlan’s razor applies until there’s at least one other use of a questionable emoji

Literally impossible for it to age like milk. They can’t remove games from your library, the way every other storefront can

It’s not a nitpick, but also that newsletter is not indicative of GOG being a Nazi organization. The idea that they specifically decided to advertise a new game based on Slavic mythology specifically so that they could send a mass advertisement to half their user base intentionally using Nazi symbolism is wild. It is much more likely that some marketing dimwit Googled “Slavic runes,” and copied some random ones from the first site they found.

It’s one data point, not a pattern. Definitely something to watch out for, but there’s literally nothing else in the history of the company to suggest that they have any white supremacist tendencies

I don’t even buy on Steam anymore. I’m tired of my shit being stored on other people’s computers. If I won’t own the game I buy, then I don’t buy the game.

I don’t recall any sexualization of minors in SEL… Can you point out a scene? I’m generally pretty strict about what goes on that list, and am always happy to prune it

Well nowadays there is “someone else” (for a given definition of “someone”) with a set of controls. Kids are being taught to drive in machines that literally drive themselves, and they need to learn that every decision that the self-driving computer makes ultimately falls on them as the driver. I think they were saying that this is a concept that needs to be taught, not a law that needs to be enacted.

That’s not to say that a manufacturer is blameless when a FSD car careens into the side of a building at 80 mph. Just that immediate legal responsibility for the movement of a vehicle generally falls on a driver.

I’m someone else! I actually keep a running list of shows that don’t include the typical anime turnoffs. No sexualization of minors, and no incest.

Bolded titles are my top recs. Series listed in chronological order of my seeing them:

Why would they catch pedophiles? Their founder is one

Hey, it’s this meme again!

This seems as good a place as any to ask. I have a shitty old laptop that ran Arch pretty good, but I’m not good enough at Linux and I managed to fuck it up. Something about the root partition being full, and discussions about the fix went over my head. So I pulled all my stuff off of it and installed Mint like my other computer has, because it’s braindead easy to use. But even Mint Xfce runs like doo doo on this machine.

Is there any good middle ground that’s more beginner friendly than Arch, and runs on weaker machines than Mint?

Weak ass GI tracts lmao

I’m not surprised either. I just wish there was human intervention before a week long ban was enacted, rather than making me beg like a dog after
