Just stop using the products of those American companies. No government intervention needed.
BTW, your mention freedom of speech is especially laughable. Yeah, sure, as a Chinese or Indian person, you can totally expect the domestic business to provide you better freedom of speech with the helping hand of your freedom-loving government.
It's not racism, whether "technically" or "non-technically". Your last but one sentence is true. Been a while though since I met someone who made that kind of generalizations about all members of some group like "Mexicans".
The way I read the heading at first, I thought that the automated copyright filters somehow interfered with the operation of some IoT light fixtures and those started sending messages by themselves to EU structures asking to disable the filters.
I have no problem with this. If I find a social network useful, I'll be willing to pay some amount to compensate for the lost ad revenue. OTOH, just removing ads is not nearly enough. Please give me a static, time-linear friend feed containing everything I'm subscribed to unless I've explicitly told not to show it, with the ability to easily return to a specific place in the feed. Maybe even paging. Then we're talking. Depends on the price, of course.
"That last lawsuit against Google could be funded by Google against itself for all I know, to show that they're not showing bias in firing people since people from both sides are suing them."
This. Also, I predict that this lawsuit, unlike Damore's, will be settled for a sweet sum.
A general understanding that you should be hygienic and bathe doesn't make a workplace hostile.
No, it constitutes odorism. Or maybe smellism. That's similar to racism, sexism, ageism, lookism etc. At least, that's what I have been taught by the progressive public.
I certainly do observe patterns that you're describing here, but I don't think that all of it constitutes whataboutism or that whataboutism per se is dehumanizing. It could perhaps be used for such purpose, but that's about it. When I say that someone is not in a position to blame me for X because they indulge in X themselves in a comparable context, I'm not saying that they're not human.
I can't see what's wrong with whataboutism if it's used correctly (observing proper context â" for example, you cannot compare a rule with an exception). OK, by itself it doesn't directly refute or disprove the opponent's initial argument. So what. It's a tool to show that the opponent is not in a position to criticize for certain behavior, especially when the issue at hand is highly contested.
I'm not American either, just wondering. For the record, I'm actually against the existence of so-called "protected classes" and believe that a company should have the right to fire for whatever speech it dislikes, but when a company is coerced into this directly or indirectly by the government, it stops being a private issue.
In a way, you're right. I for one like clear and unambiguous policies, even those I don't agree with. That way, people who defend and implement moronic policies can't weasel out of this fact and have to take personal responsibility for it. It does make me happier.
Which exactly part of the payment URL did you replace and with what? Recently, I was unable to pay for a product using PayPal without logging in (even though the store was saying it WAS possible) and was so annoyed that I chose another payment method that was more expensive but bullshit-free.
Our AC troll presumably thinks that this proves that black people are naturally violent, or some such nonsense. Nope. The USA is very far from a colour-blind society, so the figures aren't all that surprising. Black Americans are far more likely to have the misfortune of growing up around violent gangs, etc.
Is it really important for a potential murder victim whether the potential perpetrator is "naturally" or "culturally" violent? Do courts accept that as a defense in a murder case?
The first sentence in the quote above looks awfully like an attempt at a strawman. But of course, I do agree with there being no need to deny seemingly awkward facts.
Slashdot Mirror
Does it seamlessly support Chrome extensions?
I hope it's because of all the fucking.

I guess non-assholes are those who are ready and willing to redefine the words as the SJWs require.

Is it only me who read it as "needs more bugs"?

I meant proprietary as in "not FOSS". For example, the licenses for Windows, Office etc.
Are they going to do the same about their proprietary licenses? Yeah, sure...

Sshhhhh. It's so kharam to say that!

With this liability in mind, is this really, ultimately, NOT a 1st Amendment issue? A genuine question here.

They failed to do it because of Russians! Somehow.
No it doesn't. If it did, it would actually be the most useful info source. But alas...

In the 2018, you can even choose between the ribbon and classic menus. But I haven't tested it yet, being on 2016 currently.
SM office is IMHO the most MS compatible out there.
A 'Safe and Ethical' AI is, of course, the one that produces a wrong answer if the correct one offends a bitchy social group.
That I agree with.
