Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I’m not following that comment, what does that mean?

People really think homophobic jokes on a niche forum somehow stops fascism.

Then racism is okay because someone who’s racist (who won’t ever actually see it) might get mad at it?

These are the people who think homophobia is cool when they don’t like the person. They’d be racists in the 1960s saying “it’s okay to call them that when they are rude to me.”

No clicking the link to show it was about removing racial slurs! Only out of context snippets!

Correct, it doesn’t. But some people find a way to be bothered by it.

Yet somehow people say Lemmy’s software is tainted when it doesn’t have hard coded “We do not allow these to be made in our software”.

If I had to guess, 196 is more queer positive.

“Ours is not biased and less opinionated, because it agrees with my bias and opinions.”

This is every single Lemmy v PieFed argument. No matter what platform you host or use, its just this on the grand scale of things.

I’d really be down for it but I don’t think we’ll ever get it.

God that “solution to traffic is to have robot cars” video is so dumb.

I assume part of it is the novelty + influencers will pay anything for a few more clicks.

The thing that kinda bothered me is that he made it so only people who give him money can comment on videos. Or at least he said he would move forward it and a decent chunk of his comments said “this is a bad idea, it will make an echo chamber or limit you to topics they wanna pay for.”

I miss the podcasts.

Don’t forget “ad blockers are piracy” and the one of a kind water cooler he sold.

Blu-rays are purposely made to be combersome to read and use without explicit permission from the Blu-Ray commission.

Blu-rays aren’t DVDs, each release has a unique encryption on it that you either break, or use a program to scan and break for you with public listings of known keys.

VLC would need to ask the Blu-Ray Group to open up their software on how encoding and decoding works, and they never will.

Sony gets a cut for every single Blu-ray, it’s why you need to install the app for Xbox when the gaming console can naturally play Blu-ray discs for games. Microsoft doesn’t want to fork over more money to it’s main competitor, and part of why they backed HD DVD.

Is it VLCs fault? Not really. If they had a lot of money and man hours they could maybe work something out. But DVDs are child’s play to figure out compared to Blu-Rays. That’s on purpose.

Both are good tools for the job. I use mpv but VLC just works for 99% of use cases. mpv is best for working with terminals, vlc is best for GUI and is consistently easy on any operating system, even android.

Yeah but clearly corporate knows that wasting paper and your time is better, we’re the problem to them.

It’s not Tankie to admit aspects of reality. China is doing some things well. China has spent the last 20 years investing in itself, America has spent the last 20 years investing in other countries for a possible ROI for the military-industrial complex.

What would be Tankie would be to then extrapolate from that and say they’re actually the best state in the world and anyone who says otherwise is a imperialist brainwashed pigdog.

And it’ll blow up half way into the sky because it was sent up by SpaceX.

It’ll effect things as much Conservapedia does. A laughing stock to gawk at and nothing more.

I bet by the end of next year it’s dead.
