Step back, give them space and let us see if this is a new canonical emerging. Show them some love when they do it right.

Some straight talk from Canonical's brass and tech on what's what with LXD.

Remember, remember

Remember, remember
the fifth of november
the gunpowder treason and plot.
I can think of no reason
the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.

It's Guy Fawkes night tonight.

Translation of heroine

Translation of heroine

Yesterday my 8 year old daughter and 9 year old son were sitting in the back seat of the car discussing names of minecraft servers. They correctly deduced a norwegian translation of "Hide and Seek" all on their own, and i was rather pleased. Then the boy asked about "Heroine", and his sister replied "I know that. Heroine is a girl with big boobs in a bikini".

There is no objectification or sexualisation in computer games, no. We can clearly see that. And all we need is more responsibility in journalism. Right.

This is not the values i want the gaming industry to teach my children. Of course we had a talk to put things straight, but this should not be the first thing a girl thinks of as a heroine.

I hope it is rather clear by now that i think points raised by Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian are important, and need to be discussed. And everyone supporting #gamergate should go talk to a grown-up about these matters before ever posting about them again.

I guess we do some weird things over here. And it's not always what we think is weird.

Tl;dr? No. It's too important. Read the whole thing.

❝ This month is the 10-year anniversary of my first online threat. I thought it was a one-off, then. Just one angry guy. And it wasn’t really THAT bad. But looking back, it was the canary in the coal mine… the first hint that if I kept on this path, it would not end well. And what was that path? We’ll get to that in a minute.

Later I learned that the first threat had nothing to do with what I actually made or said in my books, blog posts, articles, and conference presentations. The real problem — as my first harasser described — was that others were beginning to pay attention to me. He wrote as if mere exposure to my work was harming his world.

...

I now believe the most dangerous time for a woman with online visibility is the point at which others are seen to be listening, “following”, “liking”, “favoriting”, retweeting. In other words, the point at which her readers have (in the troll’s mind) “drunk the Koolaid”. Apparently, that just can’t be allowed. ❞
