  • Because it’s a list about safety, not about beliefs. Regardless of what “the country says”, you are not in any danger if you disagree. And outside of that issue, it’s a very welcoming country for LGBT folks (yes, including T, despite what the government may say).

    Especially since it’s in the context of travel, so citizen rights are less relevant as they don’t apply to you anyway, and it’s much more relevant how you are going to be treated as a tourist, as you choose from the several LGBT friendly pubs down the road.

    And that’s still hyper focusing on one issue, totally ignoring the list also concerns safety for women and people of color, which can bring you up on the list.

    No, you are paying for the game. That they don’t take any serious measures to try to stop you from pirating it doesn’t make it not piracy.

    What is the message you are trying to send? That companies should add restrictive DRM, otherwise it’s deemed “intended” to be pirated? Maybe they just respect their customers and don’t want to add any friction to people who paid for the game, at the cost of making piracy easy?

    Microsoft sucks, go pirate Minecraft any day. But it’s ridiculous to claim it’s not piracy.













  • I think “20 minutes ago” is a lot more useful than seeing the full date on every comment and having to do mental math. It does make it harder to see the precise date, but that’s a far less common use case, so the tradeoff goes towards making it more usable for the more common scenario. So I see that as the reason: it’s usually better. The full date is still available on hover, which seems reasonable to me.

    I disagree with your premise that web developers “want to make it hard”, as that isn’t the motivation. The motivation is to make it easy to see when a comment was posted, which is far more useful as relative time. That it makes it harder to copy the full date is not the goal, but an unfortunate side-effect of the tooltip disappearing when you stop hovering over the relative time. Which I’m sure you could submit as an issue to the lemmy devs, because likely it just never came up, and isn’t some evil plot to “make it hard on purpose”.
