The game uses archive files to package the game files and if one file changes then that breaks all the mods, and since there are several key files it essentially breaks that entire category of mod. So they aren't as crazy as they sound even if you are correct.

Bethesda games are the only games I've ever played that don't support ultrawide. Don't get me wrong I've played other games that were released without it or it was buggy but in each case I put in a bug report and within a week or a month they patched it. Bethesda must have so much technical debt and spaghetti code that they can't do it and they don't care enough about their players to even try.
That should show they don't really care, they take a few big issues and focus that and leave the rest for next time they want a win.
Elections are coming up.
The fact that they didn't fire him which is every companies knee jerk reaction leads me to think he was instructed to do it by a manager and firing him would put the company at more risk than keeping him.
I think it's about marketing, if they don't spread their bigotry it'll die out. That's why conservatives are in constant fear of education and letting their kids go off to colleges where they can learn about alternative paths than hate and fear.
There's no doubt he's racist, but don't you think at the very least we should strive to be better than fox news at reporting the details?
When people are blocked for using a VPN it's usually because that IP was used in an attack at some point and added to a blacklist and since no one really owns it its never been contested, or its been used in multiple attacks and considered permanently added. Since a VPN provider's entire purpose is to hide what you're doing it's difficult for a provider to keep its users from abusing that IP.
So while it's possible to get a list of IP's that are owned by VPN providers and proactively block them it's generally only intended to block IP's known to be abusive.
Lemmy instances are just blocking IP's used in abuse, Reddit is actively trying to prevent robotic scrapers to keep their data more valuable to sell to AI companies so they are only interested in blocking VPN's they suspect are trying to scrape data and not a logged in user who happens to be using a VPN because if they know the user and are using a VPN and start scraping they can just ban the user.
Tl;Dr its about intent; Lemmy is preventing abuse vs. Reddit is protecting the value of its data for sales.
The link you provided doesn't say that, "Trump and his father, who were both named as defendants, responded by accusing the Department of Justice of defamation, and filing a $100 million countersuit. The messy legal battle ended with the Trumps signing a consent decree, an agreement that allows both parties to end a dispute without admitting fault."
Translation: While being sued for discrimination the Trumps sued the DOJ for accusing them of defamation for a large sum of money and dragged it out in court until the DOJ decided the case was costing them too much with no end in sight and was forced to mutually drop the cases against each other, thus allowing the Trump's to not be tried for discrimination. They used their wealth to avoid consequences, so much the same as we're seeing now.
I think you mean prison towers because being homeless is illegal.
Which version/model? I don't see that option on my 9 pro.
