  • This seems reasonable, but then at what point do we say “no” to making dedicated spaces because someone thought their rights are being infringed?

    Separate spaces for smoking are common. What about dedicated spaces where street music performers can perform and others where they can’t?

    What if someone doesn’t want to see tattoos? At what point do you say “your annoyance is unreasonable”? I mean surely this one is, but is there a guideline that separates this from playing loud music?

    A extreme case would be someone who wishes to make a space free of a certain race. Obviously this is ridiculous and bad, but I am seeking a guideline that can separate these unreasonable ones from the reasonable ones.




  • But some of these “rights” do contradict each other.

    For example, it may be reasonable to say “I want the freedom to walk through my city downtown without having to smell strong weed”, but at the same time it is just as reasonable to say “I want the freedom to smoke weed in my city downtown”. Those two rights conflict. They limit each other. You can’t have both without restrictions. Which one would you have?

    Smoking weed is just an example. You can replace it with “dressing provocatively” or even “dressing entirely naked” or it could be “playing loud unpleasant music in a popular street”.

    Each of those “restrict the right of others” but so does the reverse. Which right or freedom are we picking?
















  • I agree with your first paragraph, if you just got hooked to these games and want to compromise your own privacy and security by playing these games, that is your own trade offs.

    But your second paragraph claims that not compromising security and privacy means you have to deal with cheaters. That is false. The games who support Linux do not have more cheaters. In fact, there’s plenty of cheaters all over the anti Linux games, such as destiny and league.

    Also there are plenty of multi-player and competitive games on Linux. It’s only a few who do not (who admittedly also happen to be some of the more popular titles). I only agree with this sentiment if you’re hooked onto the specific games that are anti Linux, not the competitive multi-player genre.
