I thought that they were joking, as stuff like this also happens in open software and can take ages to fix (if it's even kept up to date for a lot of niche software), and most of us use SOME sort proprietary software even if there's a bigger % of open source enthusiasts on Lemmy.
That's why the Android/iOS comment was even more out of place.
But then again, this is Lemmy...it might have been literal...
"You participate in society yet you criticize it ☝️🤓" comment.
Furthermore, what do two different mobile OS have to do with a desktop one?
Man, and here I was hoping those fuckers would actually leave so we could have some vacancies in Manhattan.
I need these influencers to leave Queens please 🙏
Ah. Thank you for informing me o7
OotL: why are we boycotting Rockstar again?
You conveniently ignored my other point regarding how much of the electorate actually counts, but sure.
He got the popular vote in 2024. Not against Hillary in 2017. That's my whole point, this whole situation would not even be happening if the presidential election system in the US wasn't such a mess.
I mean, my parents and their generation can, for the most part. The rest of us... are probably not even making it to retirement lol 🥹
No, they didn't? Like only 1/3 of the states actually "matter" during an election because of the electoral college, and they are all gerrymandered to shit thanks to Republican redistricting efforts and suppressed via ID laws going all the way back to Reagan, if not earlier.
Voters are a convenient scapegoat, but remember, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. There shouldn't even have been a first Trump term in an actual representative democracy, and opposition Dems barely moved the needle to safeguard any future elections from another term of this shit.
Yeah no joke, when No Child Left Behind was implemented by Bush 2, I remember both my parents discussing how it's gonna lead to a dumber society within a decade or two, in a "Our nursing home is gonna be run by morons LOL" kind of way. I was waaaay too young to actually understand what they were talking about, but damn were they right.
Yeah, sometimes the pedants of Lemmy get a bit grating (I'm guilty of it myself). Most people were able to understand that OP was asking whether smaller or larger internet service providers are easier to use for piracy without detection. Most who didn't get that context scrolled past.
That being said... OP's replies are hilarious LMFAO wtf is that shit
Thank you! This was what I was hoping someone would suggest.
I love this tradition. I remember counting the chairs between Max and Lewis every year, and look at them now 🥹
