  • I cancelled my Netflix several years ago literally the very first time I got an error that too many people were watching or a screen wasn’t authorized or whatever the specific “you can’t share your account anymore” error was at the time.

    The fact that account sharing was tacitly allowed was literally the only thing keeping the value proposition of having the account afloat.




  • Does no one else notice that both of these responses point out that how the recipient feels makes a difference? They’re addressing the unfortunately most common experience, but also including that how you feel or if you’re okay with it is important.

    As for the “bias” being presented here, there’s nothing wrong with responding to unequal things unequally. Women are far more likely to experience unwanted touching and that’s just the sad reality.


  • also pretty wierd that he’s so about open source, and yet doesn’t consider linux a “social warrior” project

    isn’t it about giving to society? if not, what is linux about?

    He literally speaks to this point in his comment. He states that the goal of the Linux kernel project is to develop the Linux kernel, period. The social benefits from it being an open source project is a side effect. Just because it’s widely viewed as a “social good” doesn’t make it automatically a champion of every social issue that happens to show up in the course of its development.
