Why all the tilde symbols? That’s what makes it quite distracting and hard to read for me tbh.

I'm using the Lemmy.World formatting (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html). I'm subscripting the text/link to make it smaller/footer.

It sounds like your client is not supporting that. You should speak with the devs of your client about that. Here's the actual formatting string being used by me...

Which country is that?

In case anyone was wondering, like I was.

You'd be smart not to piss off the government's HOA. Those fines increase each day until morale is improved.

Well, scrapers probably would ignore it.

Maybe, I wouldn't doubt it, if true. We live in the age of "ask for forgiveness and not permission". But the law is the law, and forgiveness may cost them some $$$ down the road. At the very least it leaves them exposed vis-a-vis 'Safe Harbor' laws-wise, when some other powerful entity wants to go to war with them.

In either case, I'm not going to give up my rights just because currently laws are not enforced. Like most things with humans, things move back-and-forth throughout time, and what may be overlooked today may be scrutinized thoroughly tomorrow.

(And for the record, you're the bazillionish person to tell me that. The repetition is real.)

Well, when someone says that ALL of them live in a "privledged bubble", and I can see with my own eyes some that do not, I'm going to push back against that b.s. /shrug

Metaphoricallyh speaking, people keep trying to treat Life like its an On/Off switch, when in truth is a Volume control/dial, it has variance.

Does that include Bernie?

That was a slam dunk because he’s the obvious exception.

It also makes the point, and counters the previous point.

And telling someone that ranks right up there in cringe as well.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, how about you just reply to the subject the comment is talking about, instead of just its footer?

I urge you to read the letter. It will raise your consciousness a hundred times more than any conversation you’ll have on Lemmy today.

https://letterfromjail.com/

I'll take a look.

TOS can't change Law, can't strip away rights that you have.

Law always trumps TOS.

In fact, if a company tries to via their TOS they are opening themselves up for big risks/lawsuits, as they are trying to gain ownership of your content, voiding their Safe Harbor law protections.

They can't have it both ways, thats not how the Law works. Either they have the protection, or they own the content.

I’m looking for a new gaming laptop. It’s impossible to find any with an AMD GPU here.

I did a search on "gaming laptop with amd gpu" in DuckDuckGo and got THIS link that listed gaming laptops.

I'm sure that if you take more time than you did to reply to me to look for them, you'd find them. Edit: Apologies, apparently the Netherlands are a no-AMD GPU in a Laptop free zone. My bad.

AMD’s first party drivers are still garbage.

As I mentioned in my comment you replied to, I use Linux, and not Windows, so can't speak (today) towards AMD's Windows drivers.

For me, I let Linux worry about the drivers, so I don't have to.

Best decision I've ever made, PC build wise. So nice to get away from NVidia and not worry about graphics drivers.

You're not wrong (as someone who has owned both cards) but lets be honest here, two generations ago AMD had HORRIBLE drivers/support, like epic-level WTFness bad.

They had a hole they dug themselves into to get out of, and I believe they have, and then some. But they are still battling that negative rep from that time. Some people still see them in that "hole", flailing about, which is what I was initially pushing back against with the OP, to say that AMD is no longer in that hole.

But only in a kind of theoretical sense. They think the status quo is best for everyone, but it’s really only best for them.

You'll have to elaborate/defend that statement. I think you're just imposing your own perspective/worldview without facts in evidence.

What is a more centrist sentiment than “our system may not be perfect, but it’s the best there is”?

That would be said by Leftists about a Leftist-bias system, or Rightists about a Rightist-bias system. What you described is not just in the domain of the Centrist. There are many "systems" that groups of humans gather around, and each system may look very different from other systems.

See Dr. King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” for an eloquent condemnation of “moderates”.

I have not read this, so apologies if I get this wrong, but I will judge this sentence based on the overall message of your comment reply.

Being a moderate does not mean settling for whatever no matter what, no matter how harmful it is. Its about trying to have a consensus that most/all can live with, in how we run our society and how we act towards each other.

For example, if everybody agreed on Leftism, then should the middle of the Leftism population be condemmed (as they would now be the Centrists of Leftism)? Or Centrists of Rightism?

If human history teaches us anything, governing from the fridge/edges never works out well for everybody else.

Why should the 83 yo senator from Bumblefuckia give a fuck about climate change, they’ll be dead way before it’s a problem.

They shouldn't. I wouldn't consider them wise if they didn't give a fuck about it. Wise people think of the future as well as the present.

Just for the record, I'm not defending her personally (hence my "giving someone else a chance to drive the car" comment), I'm pushing back against Ageism in general. Biological age is not always a good indicator for capability (see Bernie Sanders).

Not sure why people keep conflating age with capability/morality, they're definately seperate things.

Also as someone else suggested, look into automation lol

Just so I don't repeat myself...

I comment on both my phone and PC. As a sofware developer, its not a big deal for me to copy/paste, I do it all the time (even read the O'Reilly book on the subject 😜 ).

Well like it or not, your footer is just a part of your comments, and so people are invited to respond however they wish when you post it on lemmy.

That logic doesn't track though, as that content is just a footer, it is not the actual content of what's being discussed in the post, which is what people should be responding to.

It would be the same as if for every comment I made on a subject it opposed people instead started asking me questions about my username, and not discussing the subject of the post.

If you don’t like people making the same replies, you can simply stop posting the same content in every comment.

You really shouldn't be "blaming the victim" on this one.

Even if what you said previously is true, when a person has been directed to a location where an answer to their question has already been given, and they refuse to do so, but instead continue to badger the person directly, that's detrimental to the conversation being had (by derailing it), as well as I would argue to Lemmy itself. And if done enough times on purpose could be considered harassment.

People should not be able to dictate what other people put in their comments, and should definitely not harass them continuously over what they have in their comments.

Maybe if you stopped putting the license in your comments, people would discuss the issues with you?

So, "blame the victim" then?

How about they just don't bother commenting on it and let it go, and instead respond to the content of the comment itself, as it relates to the post being discussed? That way they're not derailing the conversation.

Yep, agree! Would definately LOVE to buy an Intel GPU if they could get their drivers up to snuff.

I've watched a few Gamers Nexus videos where the Intel guys are interviewed and talk about their drivers work, good stuff.
