Free software is, at its core, about the users having control over their own use of the software - the software isn’t controlled by some owner and licensed by the users, but instead all users have equal ability to understand and use the software. If you consider communism to be political, then free software is political, because free software is communism in its purest form.

Unity would probably work under windows 11, since Windows is generally good at backwards compatibility. However, I can’t confirm myself since I don’t use windows or Unity. Perhaps ask if your son would consider using Godot instead of Unity in case it doesn’t work (or even if it does, since Godot is the better engine for most use cases anyway IMO).

Not deleted enough, though. Youtube has its own big alt-right problems

Communism for the rich, capitalism for the poor

1. I don’t think anyone really says that. Most people people in the mainstream would say that religion has a place in many people’s personal lives, just not in legislation.

2. Saying that people should face consequences for harmful things they say is not the same as opposing free speech.

3. The mainstream still thinks that society is a meritocracy, it’s only leftists who’d say that success is primarily based on luck (with birth being a major element of that, because it determines your place on a lot of privilege scales such as economic, racial, gender, and many more)

4. You literally can change the world without cleaning your room. Do you think they hold bedroom inspections for everyone before they’re given power? “Hold on, Mr. Putin, you can’t declare war on Ukraine: your bedroom isn’t tidy enough.”

There’s no limit on when an abortion is or isn’t ethical. If the foetus is developed enough that it’s possible to induce early birth (without risking the parent), I think that should be done (so that would cover your 8.9 month example), but in general the parent has the right to change their mind on the pregnancy at any time.

I don’t think 1984 is supposed to be a critique of socialism - more a critique of authoritarianism. Ingsoc is socialist in the same way that nazis are - in name only. Animal Farm is more about socialism that 1984 is, and I think its message is that authoritarians can use socialist rhetoric to gain power and then turn around and start exploiting the working class just like capitalists (as we see in the real world in China, Russia, and a lot of state capitalism in general) rather than something like “socialism bad”. All in all, I don’t think Orwell was anti-socialist, I think he was anti-authoritarian, which is why some of his books were banned in both the US and USSR.

None of these things are remotely controvertial except by the far right.

Edit for context: they were complaining about some very uncontroversial things (ie. this as well as the same company recognising Russia as the aggressor against Ukraine, and one other thing that I forget).

From personal experience, the Cowboy Bebop opening text (around 700 characters) is the most I could fit on a QR code while still being able to print it and scan it with my phone, in case that helps.

What about the “sources” section of said page about the Uyghur genocide?

Based on something Linus (Sebastian) said during a LTT video about a surface laptop with rounded corners, Windows doesn’t recognize the corners as rounded either. It just draws to the screen as if the corners are there and hopes that it works. You can even move the mouse off the screen by moving it past the edge in the corner.

That implies the existance of a fungible Tolkien

I think when people talk about UBI replacing wellfare, they’re mostly talking about things like food stamps and disability pay. Basic infastructure like public transit and basic necessicities like free universal healthcare and education would not be negatively affected.

Nah, they hire artists who actually do know how to draw and then they waste their talent by forcing them to draw in that style
