Steam also allows a user to view the raw information if they want. At least the last time I looked. The option could definitely be more obvious though. Giving the user the ability to see the like/dislike data over time…
Microsoft could just not give discounts to computer suppliers that don't have UEFI secure boot on forced on. I definitely recall Microsoft killing hardware manufacturers putting Linux on the machines that they sold by…
Interestingly just removing the US location restriction it looks quite different, with KDE being far more frequently searched for than the others at the moment. Searches for Linux desktop environments look to have…
Yeah the lack of consequences for those that administer justice is (I believe) the strongest reason an innocent person is convicted or punished far too harshly for the given crime. The only time I have heard of judges…
Here you go: DavidXanatos on 16 Aug Interesting driver, is the process termination feature of PH the only thing MSFT has a problem with? I mean if its the only thing they don't like, may be its worth moving that feature…

Well as someone who does that on occasion, not very often, far more on this site than real life, the answer is fear. If I was to do argue for free speech, I'd think twice because from experience I know that I will get…
They certainly have. Here is one from 2010 when they held over 600,000 euros from Markus Persson, the creator of Minecraft for 'suspicious activity' that they wouldn't disclose. It's a good thing for him that he was so…
Take this as you may, but I would just like point out that this is even more strongly implemented in courts via an offence called 'contempt of court'. Here is what is advised to do to avoid being charged with contempt…

Yes, another way to discredit someone with a valid concern is use name calling as the basis of their argument, just like what the parent post does here. School yard bullies used named calling to socially destroy the…
Do remember that something like 'fossil fuels are destroying the environment' would be called 'hate speech' if power shifted a bit. 'Hate' is an emotive term used to bypass peoples thinking so that criticism of certain…
