  • Somehow this makes me more confused whether the spelling of sworn instead of swords was intentional or not.

  • Will Smith’s comeback has been a disaster – but does the punishment fit the crime?

  • I suspected it was that one. I never knew it had anything to do with Scientology when I first watched it, I just know that it was pretty terrible. Thanks for the answer.

  • That's not the reality and you know it. If the fact that humans are generally stupid is news to you, you are just being ignorant. And thinking that your common sense applies to everyone is what makes you elitist.

  • Man, you're really missing the point of that video. I guess when you want to hate on something, most people turn off the logical part of their brain.

  • Most people who has never dealt with Linux will ever understand that having to type a sentence signifies that it is an important message that needs to be read thoroughly. Its more likely for them to think its just a quirk of using Linux distros, such as using sudo.

    Honestly, the average person would never figured that out unless they've had experience with it before. Most people can't even read short error messages after something has gone wrong, let alone lines of text full of technical terms they have never seen before in the process of figuring out something as mundane as installing Steam.

    I seriously think you guys are a bit out of touch with how non-technical people deals with their OS. The fact that you think its arrogance that made him not consult people instead of him playing the role of a non-technical person really says a lot about your own comprehension skills.

  • Again, when you have no idea how much the command line can do, and the instructions is literally for something as basic as installing Steam, nobody would expect to nuke their DE.

    You're also expecting that people should be able to parse an long ass message full of technical terms that they are unfamiliar with the first time they see it.

    You guys really overestimate how competent the average person is. Linus was playing the perfect role of a "knows just enough to be dangerous" noob.

  • Complaining about Linus doing things like an inexperienced user when that is the whole point of the test is pretty stupid, honestly.

    I would expect someone who knows just enough to follow troubleshooting using the command line but not knowing how powerful it can be would do the exact same thing in his position.

  • Yes, you said it shouldn't be easy and glamorising the fact that things had to be fought over more than a lifetime. Your words, not mine.

    It is better. Sure, it's better for you that your country can misuse its power longer. Not for people in other countries.

    Sounds like you should be involved, then. Sure Jan, tell me how I, a non-US person, is supposed to be involved in the mess that is your political system?

    It sure is easy to keep the US government in check compared to a bunch of for-profit payment processors, isn't it? I can just call the US government support number to voice my disapproval, can't I?

  • We're talking about the difference between government owned payment processors and for-profit ones when it comes to solving the issue of them giving undue influence to online stores.

    Your argument for supporting goverment owned payment processors is that it shouldn't be solved within this lifetime because that's better? Wtf are you talking about?

    When we win this one back, I think VISA should restrict you specifically from buying any porn games.

    Here comes the American way of doing things. And you wonder why I don't trust the US government to not immediately misuse their power if they actually own payment processors. Thanks for proving my point.

  • Tell me when you guys finally get free healthcare and sane gun control laws.

    How about something simpler, then? Get back to me when you guys finally stop funding Israel's genocide.

    Even easier? Get your government to stop vetoing any UN resolution for a ceasefire in Palestine.

    Show me how easy it is to change your government's mind. I'll wait.

  • The US goverment can't make porn illegal in another country. A US owned payment processor can force other stores in other countries that uses their service to save money to ban porn as well. You're just advocating for giving governments of wealthier countries more control over smaller ones. I say no thanks to that nightmare scenario.

    Why don't you prove your government can do their job and prevent payment processors from being such massive monopolies and maybe I'd trust that they won't immediately abuse their power.

  • Because they can't make it illegal in another country. I'm sure plenty of countries would just use US or China owned payment processors rather than spending money to set up their own. This would just give them more control over other countries than they already have now.

  • Well then, I guess you actually don't care that porn games are being removed from the stores right now because having the government be in charge will require you guys decades before such decisions can be overturned, just like how long the fight for free healthcare and sane gun control is taking in the US.

    Maybe some governments are more receptive to their citizens plea than the US government, but most governments are definitely still in the pocket of people with big money.

  • So you admitted that people have succeeded in adding loopholes to the US government that makes all your argument no longer true, and you think they still should be allowed handle payment processing? To me it just sounds like you're arguing for transferring the power from one corruptible party (for-profit payment company) to another one (the government).

    It would be easier for the government to actually regulate payment processors so they don't become so big that they can influence online stores that use them than preventing people in governments from turning corrupt and misusing the control over payment processes. Even then, the US government has failed to do the former, so how do we expect them to do the latter?

  • Your government representative only has a voice in the government, but they don't control it. Calling for profit companies en masse pushes your message directly to the people in charge who are scared of losing profits over this.

    Tell me, when has calling your representatives ever resulted in a change in government policy within a reasonable time span? How often does a government do a major change in policy without you needing to vote someone out first?
