Actually I think you have to use the Arm version of Windows with Parallels. But it has been a while that I tried it, may remember incorrectly.

web site has much more information about you that it can connect.

I think it is a pretty reasonable response to the type of comment that was directed at me. ("you, sir, are a fire. in dumpster. omg."). I don't think you will find a single instance of me insulting anybody without them directing hate and insults against me.

Yet somehow you protect those people and not me. Sorry I can not respect you for that.

I did nothing that is against the guidelines, and you did not repeatedly ask me to stop whatever (I honestly don't even know what you mean). I think you are just projecting something.

I did nothing in this thread that is against the guidelines whatsoever. And not in my previous comments, either.

The only thing I did I guess is to voice an opinion or inconvenient truth that you personally don't like. I can see no other explanation for it.

Perhaps it is the comment on the "personal pronouns", because you belong to the group of people pushing that new ideology. But I did not even say you should not indulge people's request for their pronouns, just that people should not be forced to use them against their own convictions. As I explained, there is a clear analogy to the pronouns issue from the "personal manual", that is why I chose to mention it, because it is a well known issue.

Honestly, I just don't know what personal issue you seem to have with me.

People attack me, and you ban me. Classy as always. I even took the time to patiently explain what I meant, except for the one guy who was just spouting insults. Even to him I merely explained that he doesn't understand what I meant.

How is that "taking threads into flamewar hell"?

How many threads did you have to go back in my timeline to make the claim that I "always do that"? I clicked several pages and found nothing, even defending your own Sam Altman from insults in one of them.

You are just completely clueless, I don't think you even understand what I am talking about.

I choose to know some people better than others. Nobody has the right to demand my time and waste it with being forced to "know about" their fake persona they want to present.

You are also clearly imagining things, I never said I would be against getting to know people or colleagues. I am against enforced individual rulebooks.

Lol wtf - you don't think people have a right to their own thoughts and perceptions? I have no words. A mess indeed - but not on my side. Enjoy your next brainwashing session, as that seems to be your thing.

I support people's rights to write user manuals for themselves. The idea is even amusing to some degree. I just don't want to be forced to read them, and especially not be accused of not adhering to the rules in the manual.

And yes, I admit the word "snowflakes" popped up in my head.

I feel sorry for you, too. But have fun memorizing those hundreds of instruction manuals.

You can ask and it is polite to adhere to the wish, but you can not demand it.

Ultimately you have no right to intrude on my brain, sorry.

"Would you be ‘abused’ if I mentioned my same-sex spouse and it violated your assumed reality?"

Probably not because I could see that your spouse has the same sex as you, so it wouldn't violate my perception? I don't get the point of your example.

The point of the "publicly state you believe in something that is obviously not true" is a symbolic subjugation of the person made to do it. It is "swearing in" to the ideology. Like Gallileo announcing publicly that the sun revolves around the earth.

It costs money, so it is a value statement about you as a developer. Either you are "worth it for your employer", or you are "worth it for yourself".

(I personally still use Eclipse)

Cool, and then let's make it harassment to ignore the instructions in somebodies user manual (not just ignoring their pronoun preference), so everybody has to learn the user manual of all their colleagues by heart.

Sorry nothing about the soviet union was capitalist. It was a planning economy, and people were not allowed to make their own fortune. Industrialization was needed either way to give people a modern lifestyle.

Coops based on voluntary participation are entirely compatible with capitalism, you can already set up a coop today in capitalist countries. Socialism is not voluntary, it forces everybody to participate. It is the most exploitative system, because everybody is supposed to only work for the common good, not for themselves. It also sets the wrong incentives which is why it usually ends in misery.

Fortnite only has cosmetics as rewards if you buy the battle pass, which costs less than 10$ for a season that usually lasts about 3 months. That is less than for example World of Warcraft used to cost, which was more like 15$/month (iirc).

It is an ongoing massively multiplayer game which also incurs server costs, so I don't think asking for a voluntary subscription is too much.

Yeah, "but it wasn't real Socialism/Communism/Marxism" comes up as an excuse by leftists all the time. Of course it wasn't - because "real Socialism/Communism/Marxism" is impossible.

That is just certain games that rightfully have a bad reputation, not all F2P games. As others said, in rocket League or Fortnite you don't get advantages from buying things. You can buy levels in Fortnite, but they only unlock cosmetics.

Why is it worthless? Aren't for example a lot of chess servers also free to play, and thousands of chess players play there all the time?

So what? I don't know what you are implying? So you never like videos of young women dancing? You go on TikTok and are very disciplined to only click on videos with CSS hacks or something?

I uninstalled it for two days, so I really don't have a guilty conscience of secretly liking young girls or whatever. It was ultimately just annoying.

I don't get those young girls (I mean children as you seem to imply) - but replying to your message, I assume some did. Or rather you did, or else how would you know they are "very young girls"?

It seems really off to accuse random people on the internet to be attracted to kids.

What I was saying is that I was shown young women, but it still annoyed me.

As for attraction - that is what TikTok's algorithm started out with, and I liked some of them, because why not? As I said, they are cute and they put in the effort to do some funny stunts or whatever. I didn't dislike them, so why not press "like"? Doesn't mean I want to see those girls all the time. Also yeah, I am a heterosexual male, so young women are attractive to me.

I probably would have liked a lot of cat videos, too, if TikTok had shown them to me. Doesn't mean I want to see cat videos all the time, either, and also not that I am sexually attracted to cats.

I only tried TikTok for maybe two days, so I really think it is a failure of the algorithm, not a reveal of my subconsciousness.

Since everybody was raving about the TikTok algorithm, which is what made me try it out in the first place, I assumed that I wouldn't have to be super careful in "training" the algorithm. Apparently I assumed wrong.

What for example is dishonest about the "free-to-play" of Rocket League or Fortnite? It literally is free to play.

I play Fortnite which is from the same company as Rocket League (afaik). I think their model is extremely fair. You can play for free, and you can buy outfits that don't give you any advantage in the game.

At first coming with "old gamer mindset" I also thought "who would ever pay for that nonsense". But now I simply see it as supporting a creation I enjoy. I buy the "battle pass" every season (maybe 8$), and every couple of months perhaps a funny skin.

Back in the day, I think a World of Warcraft subscription was 15$ per month, so I still pay far, far less than I would have paid for WoW.

There are other games that annoy me, as they basically push gambling onto my kids. They will literally have a push notification telling them to try a spin on the lucky wheel.

The refutations of leftist ideologies are also freely available to read. It rather seems you have run out of arguments.

Marxism wasn't a success story in the real world, either.

I found it very stressful because I couldn't get rid of the annoying stuff. Swiping it away would just bring up something new that was also annoying.

Most of what you say is just leftist framing, like power being a bad thing, and mining companies paying minimum pay to make people dependent. That is completely backwards. You pay people because you need something they can give you (their work force, or something they own or make or whatever). If wages are low it is because of supply and demand. If you demand people should be paid more, their jobs might go away completely and they would be poorer than before.

As for wealthy people being not natural, as I said, usually you become wealthy by giving people something they want or need. That is the best thing to reward in a society.

What do you mean by "natural power imbalances", like somebody having more muscles than others? Then why can't you imagine that some are better businessmen than others, too? Was Steve Jobs just an evil guy becoming rich by exploiting his employees, or did he become rich because he made the world a better place for billions of people? Would the world have been better if Steve Jobs had been shot down at an early stage to give somebody else a "fair chance" in his place?

I don't think capitalism was at risk of breaking down from the banking fees.

Not really - just mostly Asian, so perhaps to you they look younger than they are.

TikTok didn't work for me because of the young dancing girls. Yes, I clicked "like" on some of them, because they ARE cute and put in the effort. Doesn't mean I want to see young dancing girls all the time. TikTok showed me stuff and since I liked it, I clicked like. So TikTok shows me more of the same stuff, and not the other stuff which I might also like.

So I guess you have to be super disciplined to get a nice TikTok feed? Or just try it long enough? Or it only works for women, because they may click less on young dancing girls?

It could also change the way its reward function is being computed.

That would be true in any system, for example strong people have more power than weak people, intelligent people would have more "freedom of thought" than stupid people, ruling politicians would have more power, and so on. In capitalism however, you only have power if you give people something they want. In socialism for example, being "rich" would just mean being a part of the ruling elite, but you would still have people who are "rich" and have more power than others.

And nothing in capitalism says you have to value buying a yacht higher than anything else. There is also no rule that says capitalism should have no laws whatsoever.

Power is also a good thing, for example being able to cure cancer or feed people is a power.
