This sounds awesome! Thank you for commenting about it

By your logic, you must be happy about climate change since you’re okay with using the Internet which is mostly fueled by fossil fuels

I thought they looked cool when first announced but two things changed since then: I saw them from more than just the best angles (look dumb AF from most angles) and also musk showed everyone he’s a shitrat. Both are good reasons to hate these garbage vehicles

One of the more ridiculous reasons I’ve seen for even less regulations on guns

Interesting, thanks for the response. Same as my situation except I use the blue light filter on most if not all my devices. I am so used to it, don’t even notice that it looks kind of orange anymore.

Perfect description of what I do most days. 😬

Curious if you use dark mode, reduced brightness, or the feature that shifts away from blue light at night. I use all those and I think that’s why my phone use doesn’t seem to affect my sleep. In fact, I often fall asleep mid-scroll.

I would probably agree with you to some degree within other contexts, but I do not see anything like that here. It’s easy, vote with your wallet. Don’t like something a company or its executives do? Don’t give them money, done, easy.

Praising trump for something he hasn’t even done yet seems like a no brainer to me. It’s indicative of an attitude held by the person that can make sweeping changes to Proton as a company. I don’t see how it’s controversial honestly. If this post also showed a campaign of people demanding everyone stop using proton over this opinion, maybe you’d have a point. Spreading it for awareness is a good thing, not “hysteria”.

Edit: One last thing, can you provide evidence that any of this originated in America? “You are on the inside and don’t see it” is not evidence.

Weird, I noticed all my comments got a downvote by the time I loaded your replies. In any case, reading so much into a downvote might also fall under “misreading tone”. Kinda laughable to me in any case that downvoting could correlate to such political turmoil which is what you seem to be saying.

Is this thread hysterical? I don’t think so. Only saw like 3 people saying they would see this as a sign to stop patronizing the company, which makes sense to me entirely. You might be misreading the tone here.

…this is their CEO. “One of their employees” couldn’t possibly be more unrepresentative here.

His insinuation that Democrats are supported by big business is also fairly defensible

The truth comes out. You think this is a “both sides” thing, and you agree with it.

No, what’s being said ITT is that he’s praising trump prematurely and people don’t want to support a business run by people who do that. Incredibly simple, and might I add, logical.

Right. I thought they were talking more about the recent insane inflation of used car prices and maybe they knew something to explain it that I’d missed.

Edit: looking back at their original comment, yeah, nm, you’re right.

Avoiding giving your money to companies that go against your politics isn’t some irrational “tainted” concept. Not sure why you’re insisting it is. It’s just not supporting things you don’t want to happen. These companies donate to and otherwise push forward bad policy. Also, still not sure where you got that Americans invented any of this, or how it would relate to the recent increase in polarization

Can’t tell if > is meant as “greater than” or “can be replaced by”

Can you give a little more detail?

Americans did not invent the idea of voting with their wallets. What a preposterous claim

Uh, what?

Yes, exactly yes to all this. There are still a few third party people lurking and all those plus the astroturfers can fuck off

Well yes. I guess I was just assuming here on lemmy most people making that argument are claiming to be on the left, which is a smaller part of the problem.
