So when h266 or whatever comes out you can't watch video anymore because your cpu can't decode it in software even if it tried?

What if that new variant is also engineered?

Exactly what I was going to ask. They wrote the UI in javascript with obvious consequences. The day they rewrite it in a normal language they will see me again.

It makes sense since there aren't enough houses for all the people who want to live in an area.

That is not necessary because I'm forced to wear a mask. If we are forced to wear masks, it's because masks work. Right?

On the other hand, I fell ill for an entire day after taking the second dose, and I refuse to go through that again.

Masks work. I don't dispute that. I just don't want to wear one for the rest of my life. I don't want my government telling me what to wear.

I got vaccinated months ago because I thought that would be the end of masks. That was the entire point of vaccinating: not needing a mask because the virus could do nothing to you. The vaccination rate in my country is almost 80% and we still have a mask mandate. I will not even consider taking a booster until they do away with the mask.

We already have laws against violence.

That is a good idea, it is what I did. I don't visit any social networks, I don't read the news, and I stop talking to those who send me information that I'm not interested in.

So impeding the speech of two people is a better outcome than impeding the speech of none? I don't get it.

>the situation in America where everyone is a fucking edgelord in their spare time

So don't read them, as easy as that.

There is a difference between having a set of rules and doing ad hoc moderation.

I don't see the difference between the algorithm putting those posts in your feed and putting ads. They are both unwanted content.

Discord couldn't afford to buy discord.com, so they bought discordapp.com. They didn't think of buying discord.io or discord.app or some crap like that.

>different pricing

.com is the cheapest

>different restrictions

.com has the fewest

Anything else?

The stupidity of thinking what "the best TLD for your startup" is.

In the meantime all respectable startups and big companies use .com like normal people.
