Sorry, I didn’t realize you were exclusively arguing in bad faith/trolling. I’ll stop responding.

You’re the one that decided an entire culture of thinking, feeling people are born objectively evil and can be killed en masse. And that’s fucked up.

I think that’s where the issue falls apart. You want them to be thinking feeling people who can change. They don’t have to be. If an evil deity creates Goblins, and makes them evil for whatever reason, they can inherently lack the ability to freely think and evolve.

And there’s nothing “fucked up” about it.

Look at some villains who are just objectively evil. People point-out the Adventure Time Lich all the time, and that thing is just evil. There’s no point trying to argue with it. No point trying to convince it to right its wrongs. It doesn’t care, because it’s just evil.

Why should a group defined by plundering travelers be more acceptable than a group defined by being short with green skin?

Because in a fantasy world, where we can know for 100% certainty that gods created life, it’s not impossible for those gods to have made a certain creature type objectively evil.

In some settings, Orcs are the way they are because their god is the last one to pick a place for them to live, gets pissy, and decides that “Fuck you guys! If that’s how you want to play it, my orcs are going to plunder the shit out of your guys’ lands!”

In other settings, there has to be some kind of cosmic balance to things, and some gods are just evil because there has to be a natural counterpart to good, and so the creatures they create are just inherently evil.

I think the issue is with this kind of debate is that that it’s referred to as “race”. We don’t really have a one-for-one on this IRL (because Goblins don’t exist) and we don’t refer to animals as “different races”.

I guess they could prevent you from doing that by:

• Creating a timestamp
• Sending you the ad
• Refuse to send you the rest of the stream until “Now - Timestamp >= Ad’s runtime”

You don’t have to save your files to Adobe cloud, if that’s what you mean. It does check for a valid license occasionally, but I’ve used Photoshop when my internet was out without any problems in the past.

Meh, potato poboom-

Uhm, yes? Kill codes are dumb. Use a dead man’s switch instead. If you don’t enter the code it self destructs. Now that’s privacy!

Whenever someone brings this up, someone also brings up the fact that ads are proven to work in general not on everyone. So I guess it’s my turn today.

I’ve had an RPI3 running for 7+ years (currently running Home Assistant on it). Still uses the original SD card that shipped with it, too. These things are durable and reliable as hell, as far as I’m concerned.

I find it makes my life easier, personally, because I can set up and tear down environments I’m playing with easily.

Same here. I self-host a bunch of dev tools for my personal toy projects, and I decided to migrate from Drone CI to Woodpecker CI this week. Didn’t have to worry about uninstalling anything, learning what commands I need to start/stop/restart Woodpecker properly, etc. I just commented-out my Drone CI/Runner services from my docker-compose file, added the Woodpecker stuff, pointed it to my Gitea variables and ran docker compose up -d.

If my server ever crashes, I can just copy it over and start from scratch.
