Ah, I didn't recognize the username. My previous comments were on mobile, so I didn't have both pages open to draw the comparison. Now, I'm not looking to contribute toward giving you more grief than you've already gotten, I'm basically just expressing an opinion on the situation and that's about it. So I'll justify my opinion a little, but leave it at that.

I would agree that originally, asking him how you should phrase the notice was a good gesture. He suggests "'This user requested their work be removed from this web site.' And then link it to this issue?"

Then you respond and recommend "BurntSushi disagrees with sneering at cryptocurrencies, and in protest asked his crates to be removed." in which, while he did say something to that effect, and that is related to the reason, you asked him what he wanted and then completely disregarded his wish to recommend a more snarky message.

BurntSushi actually responds and gives an okay to a more accurate version of what he said.

Then you respond with "[...] so I plan to develop "making a stance for cryptocurrencies" dedicated feature and move both of you there. [...]"

And I read the first portion of how BurntSushi responded to that, and stopped at about that point because the whole thing seemed asinine. It would appear to me that you made him out to be the party in the wrong throughout the entire exchange to that point because he didn't want to take part in your site.

Partway through he started suggesting things that just blatantly misrepresented why burntsushi was asking for his stuff to be removed. Even if he did the reasonable thing in the end, he shouldn't have been so antagonistic about it.

"Quackion, the Aspect of Ducks" sounds like a title Dwarf Fortress would generate.

I was going to say it's a shame, and in a way, I guess it kind of still is. But then I saw the gitlabb issue where the creator treated burntsushi like crap for wanting his packages removed. That makes me feel less bad about it.

There's probably an internal concept of turns, but it's not directly exposed to the user. You place a pixel, you wait 15 minutes, you can place another.

As far as larger works of art, it's a lot of people coordinating together and carefully crafting something.

I like how there was an article about it losing players and now they're suddenly interested in going to steam after all these years of doing their own thing.

Real trash tube is loading the YouTube homepage in a private browser and scrolling without signing in. Most of the stuff on it I wouldn't watch while piss drunk.

As mentioned, war is a billion dollar industry. But also, international law is complicated to enforce. Countries aren't so easy to control that you can just fine them unless there is a greater consequence for not doing so. That greater consequence is often war, or some form of sanction.

But you also have nuclear powers in the mix, making war an ineffective method of enforcement, because the risks of war between two nuclear powers is greater than can justify whatever enforcement caused it. Leaving the next best tool to be sanctions. But not every country will honor those sanctions, and you create these crazy little countries like Iran or North Korea, who build nuclear weapons and cozy up to your enemies instead of you.

I hate that people consider that to be the usual use case when referring to a deceased person. I'd say that says more about the people roasting than the poster.

It's a small locally owned one, they contract with another service to provide the online functionally, I think.

Sony also didn't like it that companies bought PS3s in bulk and used them as cheap compute power. They sell the consoles at a loss but make that up on game sales and licensing. Someone buying them and not gaming is cutting into their profit.

My bank's app is incredibly detailed about customizing locks on your card. You can go by retailer, type of charge, set geo fences, or even have it only allow purchases where you're physically located if you let the app have background location.
