so you’re saying i should have anticipated that people might have willingly misinterpreted “that is a stupid position to take and here is why” as “you as a person are stupid” and, instead of telling me why they thought I was wrong, try to get me banned from beehaw as a result?
i would’ve been okay if you’d just said yes and left it at that. but the “actually, you are calling me stupid” really rubs my fur backwards
Which is it, do you not understand FPTP voting, do you think that voting for a third party candiate at the presidential level will convince anyone who is not already a member of the green party to switch, or are you really this dense?
We could have an entirely separate conversation about why the Green Party in specific sucks, not least because the candidate they put forward thinks vaccines cause autism, but if you can’t be convinced that voting third party doesn’t do anything I don’t want to talk to you anymore at all.
If your next response is less than three sentences long I’m going to block you.
Exactly. Discord token stealers have been around for ages but no one gives Discord flak about leaving that secret unencrypted.
Okay, so the talk show host is supposed to be the comic author. Who is the woman supposed to be?
I don’t understand at all where you’re going with this. Either Beehaw uses Lemmy on the backend or it doesn’t. Either you’re using Ladybird or you’re using a different browser. These are pretty binary choices.
hope you don’t forget the semicolon on a line by itself at the end (except in functions where you want to return the value of the last expression)
i’m not calling people stupid, i’m calling an idea stupid. is that also not kosher?
I really hope more people start believing this. Our current copyright system has been abused and bought by the rich and screws over both consumers and small artists, but “copyright of any form is terrible” is harmful to artists too.
Yes, generative AI is snake oil, but that is a question of scope and power and speculation, not utility of easy to create pictures.
“Sure, AI can’t fully replace human artists, but that’s just because the technology hasn’t advanced far enough yet.”
need me a girl without a torso 🤤🤤
Of course not. I would do my research, like any responsible consumer.
I’m a programmer. Which libraries I pick to add to my project have effects on everyone who will use the software I publish. I owe it to them to do my homework to compare them and figure out what the differences are and which one is better for my use case. If I just picked whichever one was most popular, I could have a polyfill.io incident on my hands every week.
I do the same thing with software I personally use, because I’m a responsible consumer. Firefox and Chrome aren’t identical. Chrome has way more downloads but I’m betting more than half the people in this thread use Firefox or one of its derivatives, like Mull or Librewolf.
I dream of a world where doing your homework when choosing software to learn is not so rare that people assume no one does, and accuse those who do of lying.
If this is provably the case, then I agree, we should stop using Lemmy. If not – and I say this as a proud supporter of the vast majority of seemingly-pointless ideological bullcrap – it is nothing but pointless ideological bullcrap.
Goodbye, troll.
I refuse to believe there exist two pieces of software that are truly for all intents and purposes identical, unless one is a very recent fork of the other.
Both Lemmy and Ladybird are very pointedly not forks of anything.
Compassion is not a zero-sum game. We do not have to reserve our capacity to care about issues only to issues that affect people we think are deserving.
That would depend on the feature set
you’re kidding, right?
Using Lemmy without donating to the developers does not send support to them. Same goes for Ladybird, does it not?
All the less reason to be upset about naming your kid after a bug. If the bug isn’t even Google’s first association, why should it be yours?
