switching to a browser engine developed by a literal advertising company seems like a weird protest against advertising

servo is the only one I know of

sadly folks keep being told that voting for Party 2 is somehow a vote for one of the Party 1s and that the only sensible option is to vote for the other Party 1. wonder how the situation will ever improve 😔

mournfully flipping the counter back to “0” on the “it has been X days since a turbolib said something deeply homophobic” sign

ah yes the useless proprietary headphone jack (?) microphone jack (??) displayport (???) and ethernet ports (???) … which you can only replicate with USBC with expensive adapters 🤔

13 downvoters are turned-on and mad about it

“legal people” nobody is “illegal” friend, leave that kind of dehumanising inaccurate language to the far right

with the armband as well it seems like kind of a dogwhistle

Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.

cool can you point me at the repo for their server software then? and the f-droid reproducible build of their android app, or the sideloadable iOS app?

total snakeoil

he doesn’t it’s a terrible machine learning upscale. which is a weird choice because The Matrix is available in high resolution so whoever upscaled it could have just pulled a better still

quit your planet-destroying job

“best” in terms of what, most war crimes? most planetary destruction? highest amount of corruption?

“the problem is the institution, not the people actively participating in the institution in exchange for money and power” what

this cold war propaganda belongs in a museum

then I spent a minute like “what does ‘tyrann’ mean, is this a warhammer thing?”

“successful” except for seemingly being organised to give as many people COVID as possible

blaming pedestrians in crosswalks for getting hit by cars seems pretty bloodthirsty (and fuckcars is a weird community to say it)

to me “pedantic” means that a difference doesn’t matter, and in this case I think it matters a lot.

“chemical” / “non chemical” (and “natural” / “artificial”) are marketing terms with no agreed-upon meaning and I think the world would be better if we stopped using them - because they overshadow terms which have clearer meanings like “safe” and “healthy”.

in your strawberry example I’d say the useful metrics are the usual nutrient contents, and if any of the ingredients are known to cause health problems. “% strawberries” would be an objective metric that personally seems kinda meaningless to me personally but at least wouldn’t be misleading.
