- Comment on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content 1 day ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding the user of the term “public” here. A mall is a public space in the sense that people can go, but it’s not a picnic space in the sense that it’s not operated by the government, it’s a private space. I’m using the term public space in the governmental sense, not in the publically accessible sense.
Also, talking about Europe as a whole is wrong since different countries can still have different rules on the subject.

See the US section, the use of the term “public space” in this conversation is acceptable as the term “public” is used in opposition to privately owned and not public in the sense that it’s open to the public like a mall is.

The government cannot usually limit one’s speech beyond what is reasonable in a public space, which is considered to be a public forum (that is, screaming epithets at passers-by can be stopped; proselytizing one’s religion probably cannot).

I’m talking about the users commenting on Helldivers patch notes. Just like with Starship Troopers, people on the right see Helldivers as inspiring when the message behind the media is anti fascism.

No it’s not a public space.
Public space would be a place like a national park or the sidewalk. These forums are owned and operated by a private company, they’re private spaces and can be moderated however the company sees fit. Same thing for Twitter or Facebook or Lemmy.
A senator has the right to tell them that they need to do a better job at moderating their platform if there’s reasons to believe they’re letting people threaten violence or incite criminal activity.

Most commonly, yes, just frites. Was just saying that pommes frites wasn’t exactly right

So? He doesn’t have to protect free speech on a private platform

Never heard of kids committing suicide due to being bullied?

First amendment is for public spaces, a forum owned by a private comment isn’t a public space.

Right wing and not understanding second degree, name a more iconic duo

French fries as in they came from the French part of Belgium, maybe?
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 2 days ago:
Pommes de terre frites or patates frites

Slightly?
Also, let’s say it’s truly just slightly, how long was it way worse before it became slightly worse?

Wrong angle to the grips on the deck, wanna get my hands on an Ally to compare and possibly replace mine with that
- Comment on YouTube devs be like 3 days ago:
The problem with the “free” part is that hosting videos isn’t free so there needs to be monetization in some form.
- Comment on Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me) 3 days ago:
Yeah, that’s the rip off right there, 250$ for a printer and it’s not a Brother? Fuck no.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 5 days ago:
Doesn’t matter, the process to ask to be allowed in is the same.
Also, in this specific case, the rape accusations were in civil court so they’re not accusations that would prevent him from entering Canada. The charges that made him a felon are the ones related to the hush money.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 5 days ago:
For the fifth time, he just needs to fill up some paperwork and the Canadian border service agency decides to allow him in or not, the same right is given to any person with a criminal record visiting Canada.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 5 days ago:
The host country can recognize it and arrest them… or not. Technically Mongolia should have arrested Putin when he visited not too long ago, they didn’t because that would have been political suicide.
The international court is a completely different beast from a national court.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 5 days ago:
Unless you make it extremely clear from the get go that it’s just for fun then flirting with someone you’re not interested in is risky and even if it was made clear, there’s always a risk something will develop.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 5 days ago:
They’re allowed if they fill up the right paperwork and it’s approved by the Canadian border service agency, it’s not about immunity, it’s a process that exists for anyone with a criminal record, the difference is that Trump will be approved automatically just like Bush was 20 years ago.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 5 days ago:
Don’t flirt with someone single if you’re not interested, don’t flirt with someone in a relationship if you’re not interesting in breaking it.
It’s just that simple.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 5 days ago:
And your comment is still wrong. Diplomatic immunity has nothing to do with the process any foreigner with a criminal record can go through to visit Canada. It’s paperwork and it’s the same thing Bush was doing to visit Canada while he was president 20 years ago.

Again, diplomatic immunity is about things the person does while inside the host country if they’re acting as a representative of their country and it only protects certain people, not anyone sent by a country and in Canada it doesn’t even apply to presidents/premiers/kings of foreign nations.
- Comment on Jake Rule vs Mike Ruleson 6 days ago:
Who would be the equivalent these days? They should challenge Paul!
- Comment on Jake Rule vs Mike Ruleson 6 days ago:
Paul wouldn’t have challenged Tyson in his prime, his professional career is a sham.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 6 days ago:
Trump will be granted access the same way Bush was (he has a DUI), there’s paperwork necessary that wouldn’t be if he didn’t have a record and that anyone can fill up in the same situation, entry will be granted by default for Trump, that’s the main difference.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 6 days ago:
That’s not what diplomatic immunity is
Just like Bush for his DUI, Trump will need to have the paperwork necessary to be granted access to Canada as a person with a criminal record.

- Comment on Anon falls through the cracks 1 week ago:
There might be an issue with some contract clause about the company you work for owning anything you create while at work so if you’re working two jobs at once it can create quite a mess
- Comment on Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered and the long-awaited 2.0 patch update for Warcraft 3: Reforged have just launched on PC for Warcraft's 30th anniversary 1 week ago:
So I remember of the first one was that it was brutal as fuck
- Comment on Anon falls through the cracks 1 week ago:
Take the opportunity to acquire skills for the inevitable firing that’s coming later.
There was a story like that on Tales From Tech Support and when the guy got caught and had to find another job, it had been so long since he had actually worked that he had forgotten all about programming.
