"it's weird and should be more stigmatized" that seems to be making a moral claim right? I guess you never explicitly said that it's because it's weird that it should be stigmatized, but it certainly seemed to be structured like that.

And ah maybe I misunderstood, what you were saying just sounds like how a lot of ppl talk about it on the vegan forums I used to regular, lmao.

I don't think "it's weird therefore bad" is a good argument. If you're gonna argue for veganism (which I don't have a problem work doing!) I think there are way, way better reasons.

But in this analogy, instead of disabling the ink/internet, they disabled your entire printer/computer. They didn't withold further service, they actively made something this person already owns useless through a malicious backdoor.

I think that's ridiculous. I vastly prefer FOSS and so I won't use this, but clearly professional software being ported to Linux is a big deal for Linux and its userbase.

Should we ban discussion about any distro that's not certified by the FSF? Should we ban news about proprietary Nvidia drivers?

I'm a nihilist and I don't think that's true whatsoever. At least to be a moral nihilist, it just means I don't believe in any metaethical framework (no "oughts")

Regardless of whether or not I think killing me would have or create some objectively bad property, I have an egotistical attachment to living, and of course I'm going to try to avoid it.

My ethics and my desires are related but different.

??? There are thousands of companies that do business in the US that aren't american.

This seems like a very reasonable and pretty tame warning?

This is such a ridiculous and biased article, and it's not world news.

Wanting to restrict the rights of minorites isn't a valid position. It's vile and worthy of hatred.

That's a lie that the US government has desperately been trying to push for decades. The creation and detonation of nukes was an entirely avoidale atrocity.

Plus all other media
