    100% agree, but what should be done would be to green light projects by writers of other races based on different cultures and folklores diversifying the pop culture space (for lack of a better term).

    What is done instead is treating minorities as a checklist that needs to be checked in every piece of art even when it doesn’t make sense for them to be in that story.

    I only care when it’s stupid, like Medieval Poland being full of black people, not even modern day Poland has that many black people.

    You can call me racist if you want but casting a black guy to play the president of the USA in like 1910 would be as stupid as casting a white guy to play Nebuchadnezzar.


  • I’m having a hard time seeing any bill get passed that supports the rights of users to watch videos without the ads that support the creators and the platform that they’re watching.

    We should reach a compromise of having skippable ads in the beginning only, for example. In other pages it could be that ads cannot be bigger than 10% of the content being delivered on the page.

    It’s not always all or nothing, good regulation listens to both sides and reaches a compromise in the middle, but good regulation is getting harder and harder to come by.

    I think performance was part of Chrome’s success

    I don’t think I fully believe that, normies don’t care about how fast a page loads and the proof of that is that they were using IE for so long.

    Now, users can’t switch because the web depends on Chrome, just like back in the IE days.

    What? I’ve been using FF since 2006, or something like that, how is the web dependent on chrome?
