I understand that, but if a third-party was to make a mod that restores the old names, I don’t see how they could possibly be held legally liable for it.

The very act of floating this idea is election fraud. Even if they don’t do it, threatening to do it could discourage voters.

I wish someone made a mod for this game that restored the names of the units and buildings to all their Total Annihilation equivalents.

I’m calling it: they’re going to have Palantir set them up with a database of likely Democrat voters paired with facial recognition and detain everyone who is a positive match on their way to the polls until the polling station closes.

And then they’ll have the mail-in votes thrown out.

It’s like a joke from The Simpsons for crying out loud

Like it was stopping them before.

If the authorities can now ignore the law protecting the citizens, how can they expect the law to protect them?

That’s how they got rich

He knows he is going to have his ass kicked in the midterms. Watch out for dirty tricks. He will try to pull all of them.

That point was never made I had to make it myself to conclude this stupid disagreement with something that made sense. Even after I did so, essentially agreeing to disagree he kept going, making it obvious he wasn’t even taking this seriously. The guy was just out trolling while accusing me of not wanting to have a “discourse”.

Seriously, you post one opinion that isn’t necessarily popular but that you believe in, someone hijacks it with an immediate downvote and some comment to twist it around to make you the “bad guy” and people just pile on the bandwagon because snarkiness seems to beat arguments in places like that. People can’t be bothered to read more than 2 lines. I thought that shit only happened on Reddit.

I’ve had aliens visit me to tell me they’ve used their unfathomably advanced technology to prove beyond any doubt that I was right and that your sources were wrong. But you’ll also have to trust me on this. Quid pro quo.

Either that or I just find that logo ugly. Pick whichever.

You’re ignoring the rest of the logo that puts it all together. Ultimately I think what makes the Debian logo particularly ugly is the “painted with a scraggly brush” effect.

Since you haven’t given me a point to counter, there ain’t much else to do. I’ll try another approach.

Let’s see your original point, if you can call it: “…strong wrong opinions…”

So you appear to say that I’m wrong to say that the Debian logo is ugly. From that we can conclude that you find it pretty. I mean, it’s fine. You could have simply argued that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and that it looks good to you. I would have respected that. Here, I’ve created an adequate retort for you. You’re welcome.

And since neither of us will ever be bothered to do an unbiased street survey on the beauty of a curled twig we will have to leave it at that.

Comes back with the same assertion as before except with added verbal frills, thinking it could pass as substance.

To be fair to Debian though I don’t think it ever was intended for being used as a desktop daily driver.

Downvotes. Calls the opinion wrong. Refuses to elaborate. Ignores the discourse going on. Complains of lack of discourse.

We agree, it is ugly. Most Linux logos are made by programmers, not graphic designers and it shows. My point still stands that Debian’s logo stands out as being particularly ugly. I don’t care about the tribal fanboys who predictably took it as a personal attack and piled on the downvotes. Every time I used Debian the first thing I did is get rid of that eyesore everywhere I could.

Also while we’re on the subject can we talk about the K shaped antlers on the KDE mascots? They just never looked like they belong there.

If there was a tier list of Linux Distro logos based purely on logo design quality, Debian would be on bottom tier. It is just an ugly logo. The top would probably be OpenSUSE.

Edit: Suck it, fragile fanboys. The logo IS ugly. The fact that we can’t even point it out without having the downvotes piling on is the reason why Debian still has that eyesore for a logo.

To me it looks like they’re trying to make Alberta Canada’s Crimea.

American oil corporations have been financing those separatist groups and their astroturfing campaigns in Alberta for a while now. I wish the Canadian government called it for what it is. They are trying to make Alberta Canada’s Crimea.

I’m getting strong vibes of AI companies buying up 70% of next year’s world RAM production for their future data centers that might never exist.

Have they even figured out a use for these robots that would justify theit cost yet, other than as fancy remote controlled puppets that simulate an independently functioning robot to manipulate investors?

I’m calling it. It’s going to be another Cybertruck fiasco. There will be a handful of early adopters who will buy them with a huge markup and then the reality that the product absolutely fails to deliver on most of its promises will slowly spread, leaving them with a huge unsold inventory.
