> Because no one would ever risk exposure. And so expression of non-sexual intimacies we would see as gay are not perceived as gay in those societies.

100% an interesting example of this that can even be seen in relatively recent history is the nature of some sports manerisms

The congratulatory ass slap or roughhousing, between people of the same gender is basically nothing of note (Enough to say, be televised), yet across diferent genders it's perceived as different enough to merit different treatment


Reverse EEE?

At the expected pricepoint, this Steam machine can't cost too much over say a PS5 or a regular PC with comparable specs and still make sense

We're more or less waiting to see if / how much is Valve willing to subsidy the price with the expectation to recoup it with software


This feels like asking why do English people have strong opinions on soccer compared to the US?

If there ever was a comunity I'd expect to have strong opinions on Mozilla/Firefox, it's HackerNews


Agreed, though I think that spectator-sports-fandom (if that's what you meant) analogy also has emotional team-identification connotations that don't apply to the majority of HN strong opinions about browsers. (But apply more to, say, Emacs vs. Vim, or tabs vs. spaces.)

I think lot of the HN browsers strong opinions more akin to "Why do historians have strong opinions on geopolitical intrigue X" or "Why do doctors have strong opinions on the effectiveness of pharmaceutical Y". Strong opinions, because they are experts who care for important objective reasons.


The quant was still happy, The Boss was the one with buzzword FOMO

Looks about right if you ask me


The plugin does name them, but that's the nature of work so good as to become invisible, you don't actually see it unless you already know (Or care/need to look into it)


The 2 OEM Dual Shock 2 I got with my console, worked for 10+ years right until I sold it

Generics varied in quality vastly but never felt quite that sturdy I regret having to sell that PS2, specially seeing the current resurgence


Less now, but the bar is higher because now there's a baseline good enough product, so even if in the past you'd have done it anyway with more care, now unless the official sub is bad enough, why would you bother?

I remember seeing (I think Netflix release) of Komi-san can't communicate, noticing A lot of things being missed, like Komi's literal main manner of communication (A notebook where she writes) not getting any translation for some episodes, or a lot of things I'd have to fill others in that normally at least would have been a T/N in fansub

It was bad enough that I went looking elsewhere to see if I had missed more than I realized, and the fansub did have everything covered


They are doing loop, so there's something there, however small


So not Netflix, but Twitch?

Plenty of people stream commentary to matches without showing the game itself, so that would flag as guilty too


These are not peer to peer connections. These people would send a single stream to twitch and then twitch, a known streaming service, would stream it to their viewers.

In theory someone might rent a server and do the streaming directly to his viewers, without using a known platform. This would be a legitimate false positive as you describe. But this would be so expensive I doubt anyone would do it when the alternative is a free platform with built in community and monetisation tools.
