apotheotic (she/her)

Thats a tangibly different example though right? Isaac Newton isn’t alive to benefit from your support so the moral downside is basically gone. If a modern genius was out here breaking new ground left and right in science but he was also a raging Nazi I certainly wouldn’t be promoting him and I’d be very wary of using any of his breakthroughs

However, let’s centre the conversation back on what it is: a flashy tiling window manager made by a bit of a knob

Who is the Western supremacist in this scenario and what relationship do they have to morality? Kinda makes or breaks your whole argument

No worries I’m glad we could discuss it in a way that was helpful!

I don’t have a lot that I would add, but I would just assert that the “user might donate if they’re unaware” is a big enough reason on its own. Even if you promote it alongside a caveat mentioning the moral shortcomings, the people who start using it because of your promotion might also promote it, but there’s no guarantee they’ll keep the caveat (in fact I’d consider it likely that people who will use the product despite the caveat are exceptionally likely to neglect to mention anything in their promotion).

And to your second point I’d say that its pretty indisputable that they are being given a platform, as evidenced by the platform they have. It is a platform that is, as you mention, not subscribed to by a lot of people with a moral backbone, but it is significant.

If I had to give a one-liner for why it is bad to promote the things a shitty person makes, I’d say “its a bit of a Nazi bar thing”.

How much wrong does a person have to do for you to consider it morally wrong to promote the things they make?

Fuck hyprland All my homies hate hyprland

Because promoting hyprland is morally wrong? Its pretty simple

Celeste, Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forest

Oh yeah no I get the idea, it just distinctly reminded me of Scratch

When you want your whole system to look like a Scratch project

Devolver was one of the few people I absolutely trusted to keep investing in new and upcoming indie stuff, this is sad to hear :(

I really do hope that deckard will include inside-out tracking even if it also supports base station tracking

Boot licking, lmao. Dude, fuck Epic and everything they stand for. They could collapse tomorrow and I would celebrate. Whining about free shit is just weird. If you want it, take it, if you don’t, move on.

River City Girls is a pretty sweet game. Also its a pretty weird look to complain about the free games you are being given for free.

Unreal that AI is so ubiquitous apparently in programming, that I as a non-AI-user had to come to the comments to understand wtf this meant

It can indeed be recycled after it degrades into copper, but it will take far longer that you claim for it to do so.

The half life of nickel-63 is 101.2 years which means that after 101.2 years approximately half of the core will have degraded to copper, then after 101.2 more years approximately half of the remaining will have degraded, leaving approximately a quarter, then after 101.2 more years there’ll be approximately one eighth, and so on. This is how radioactive decay works.

The battery, they claim, functions for 50 years or so, which is probably because after 50 years the radioactive decay has slowed by over 25% (can’t be bothered to work out the actual amount but its at least this much). This 50 years doesn’t mean that all the radioactive material has decayed, just that a portion of it significant enough to render the battery dead/less effective/etc.

In fairness the collar compliments my skirt quite well

Yeah I hate it when companies checks notes hire furries and femboys because dei

I think passing judgement on people who are trying to get mental health assistance within their means makes you far more of a fucking loser.
