  • I’ll assume you pulled that mental gymnastic routine out of the same place you store how you think the word literally is supposed to work.

    At no point was “pull requests deserve death threats” even hinted at.

    Semi-reasonable takes wrapped in logically dubious arguments is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Doubling down with a retort that only requires you to read 5 lines to see it isn’t true is wandering in the fields of free and easy victory and choosing to drown yourself in the 2 inch puddle of defeat.




  • I’d say it’s less a legal fight than it is a fight for control , using the law this time.

    Pretending that what people are upset about is the field rather than the pre-capitulation is not helping the cause.

    Most of the hate isn’t for the technical implementation of a field, though some FOSS people are upset at that as well.

    You can sidestep the legal fight by not serving the places where it is illegal.

    That’s doesn’t necessarily align with the goals of whatever project, but it is possible.


  • That’s a sound argument, mostly (in the quote, i mean)

    If the technical implementation of how they would try and force age verification was the problem people were concerned about, this take would be very useful.

    Physical locks on glass doors are easy to bypass, doesn’t mean you won’t get shafted if someone just so happens to catch you in the act.

    If third party age verification is legally mandated the implementation being technically difficult (or easy to bypass) doesn’t stop it from being illegal.

    Being a condescending prick works better if the position you take is unassailable, you do you though.
