4chan was sterilized too, during the heyday of gamergate. There are those who think that self righteous, attention seeking victimhood is an example of 'internet asshole.'
The problem is that 'harassment' now includes offending someone with words that do not conform with left wing viewpoints, so the debate ends up being about political correctness vs freedom of speech.
Yeah, but those applications that do target multiple platforms natively will offer superior experiences for users of those platforms while they all interact with one another. The last thing I want to depend on is yet another browser based turd that's here today, gone (or butchered) tomorrow.
Honestly, this sounds like bible thumpers claiming the bible is misinterpreted..
"they only got that job because they are black and there is a lower bar for them"
It's not 'problematic' if it was true. The only way to respect equal opportunity on merit is to abolish policy that plays favorites on irrelevant attributes on some assumption of bias. killing off affirmative action would be a good start.
Denying the problem is not automatically a 'microaggression', especially when the denial is truthful. That's why this kind of language is always seen in these 'behavioral guidelines.' It's to silence criticism, giving one side the trump card at the expense of the other. "Your policy is bigoted!" "No, it's not, here's why." "See! your denial is proof!"
It initially targeted the universities in the 50s.. now it's built up 5th columns in every major industry and institution in western society, especially the media and government.
Expecting a sanitized, politically correct cleanroom environment is NOT reasonable. Criticizing these expectations and demands is not bigotry. The only way you'll be able live in the kind of echochamber that allows such 'progressive' communication is if you get all of those SJW types to both finance and host it themselves (instead of expecting the taxpayer to do it).
something to be said for that, but I think most people would see running one program at a time as getting in the way of productivity. Personally, I do miss the simplicity of those days.
Right. The software handling such input would be the OS, or at least its shell. We had that already too, it was called 'Active Desktop' and it sucked horribly. Today, they call it 'semantic desktop' and it still sucks. For whatever reason, MS, apple, google, and others keep trying to bring it back, and make it stick where it doesn't belong.
The whole point of passing laws like this is to encourage people to attack one another, preferably in the form of class warfare. Populations fighting themselves tend to ignore the tyrants at the helm.
They're not going to do that. Their goal is to turn out complete projects ASAP and get paid. Certified acad drafters command high premiums so companies who employ them are willing to spend thousands on workstations. No one is interested in crippling that for politics.
Well, I think autocad was used as an example and not as a complete list. The point being that most people expect to be able to run whatever software they need on their machines. Since most of their time is spent interfacing with proprietary software stacks at work/school and for hobby/entertainment use, linux is of limited utility. Sure, linux is fine for web browsing, but so is everything else. There's actually quite a bit of useful software out there in OSS land, but the unfortunate reality is that software is not usually the industry standard. It's certainly possible to use linux as a desktop for personal use and be productive, in fact, much more possible than it was a few years ago, but it does not replace systems that do run industry standard software like autocad/adobe/etc. Most users don't care what os they run, they just want access to the software they need to run.
Obviously not. Running stuff through wine is fine for casual use, but it is not good enough for performance sensitive software like autocad. I am sure that's why anon listed it.

It was a reference to a generality. A lot of sjws work for publicly funded organizations.

You'd think they'd've heard of those chinese sites. After all, SJW types and communists have a lot in common.

So how would you do away with the operating system and still enable people to 'get something done'?
No thanks. As it is, today's systems suffer from too much dependency on non-native bloatware.
I have criticized specific women (as well as men) for bad arguments and bias. That is not bigotry.

a committee of People's Deputies of Tolerance and Love of course.
I never said get rid of checks and balances, nor did I say get rid of government entirely.
No thanks. Big government is the problem, here. It's used by the wealthy to enslave the rest of us with our own money spent against our will.
Sure they do, for those of us who like high framerates. 1080p with maxxed out settings and low/no AA would also be useful.

No, but it is a good reason why linux is not chosen for desktop use by most people. It would be nice to see, though.
Obviously not. Running stuff through wine is fine for casual use, but it is not good enough for performance sensitive software like autocad. I am sure that's why anon listed it.
Sure, with a 20-50% performance hit. Are you serious?
The issue was the malware wrapper. It abuses the rep of the developers as bait to get people to install the adware.
