Nice try putting words in my mouth, fuckhead. Things like Vietnam weren't even being discussed until the tankies in this thread tried to use them as a tool to deflect from ongoing atrocities. But hey, if you're down with bombing children's hospitals and apartments, you do you I guess. But maybe you should try learning to fucking read before picking a side and accusing people, dipshit.

I absolutely love the part where you guys are all so vocal about "but the US did this and this" but have literally nothing to say about @mydude@lemmy.world up there acting like Russia and North Korea are perfect little saints while actively trying to wipe out civilians.

Just Tankie Things™️

Fools get downvotes here. When the US launches a violent offensive directly on a neighboring independent country with the intent of destroying its people and conquering its land, which NK and Russia are currently trying to do, maybe you'll have a point.

Let's just summarize the argument made here using actual facts:

Everyone says Russia is so bad for bombing children's hospitals and rest homes and apartment buildings, but look at the US's military budget!"

It's pathetic.

I present: the reason we can't have nice things.

A very short summary that may not be entirely accurate but is close enough:

WP Engine made a good amount of money off of WordPress without contributing back, and Automattic broke their own license to fight them, all the while the CEO became increasingly unhinged.

So it's no longer "Pepe isn't used by extremists on Steam," it's now "Pepe being used by extremists on Steam doesn't matter," huh?

Goalpost status: moved.

How does that saying go?

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

I love it when people respond to exactly one line and ignore the rest of my comment. Totally not a bad faith argument at all. Totally not exactly the same shit Reddit bigots always did.

Uh huh, uh huh.

Meanwhile, here on earth, Matt Furie's own lawyer brought up the fact that, on Steam, Pepe emotes were being used "in connection with hateful speech."

Tell me something, has that changed, or is it possible, just maybe, that the Steam Community is one of those places I was referring to?

So now tell me this, when you claim that it's ridiculous to treat Pepe use as a sign of hate on Steam Community, are you ignoring the active, proven and admitted use alongside hate speech, or are you trying to downplay it?

It's all.

Buying a house as an "investment" is what we call "scalping" in other businesses. Not to mention the fact that this type of buying worsens housing prices and increases homelessness for personal gain, even on a small scale.

The only exception I can give is people who rent out part of their own home, as this situation actually creates available housing.

Just because the creator doesn't want it used as a hate symbol doesn't automatically mean it isn't used as one, and next to chan-level garbage is the grand total of where I've seen Pepe.

Spawns from Twitter initially, but it basically means "say it to my face."

For instance:
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world Your mother was a hamster.

Third-party apps like boost can do this, so I assume the frontend could if they wanted.

Chances are, the CEO should've been prosecuted for whatever precipitated this long ago. Sounds like suicide by victim to me.

The concern isn't so much them directly taking your money or info, but rather accepting money to enable someone else to.

Basically, they've been bundling ads with their installer for years, but several years back, whatever ad service they used without a care decided to start shipping spyware as well, in addition to the already existent deceptive patterns used in the installer.

You'd expect any good dev to be pissed if something like this got into their software, right? Well, they were pissed... at the users. The stupid, stupid users and cyber security researchers who dared to say this was a problem. They refused to acknowledge the problem, made excuses, removed discussions about it on their forums and tried to act like it wasn't a big deal even if there was malware because they also offer a download without the malware, provided as a nice, tiny link on a separate page.

I mean, they have Source 2, but to call it a rival before it's even made it to third-party developers (Facepunch is effectively second party) is a bit of a stretch.

Galaxy definitely sucks, but to say it's worse than EGS seems pretty far out there. EGS has been caught snooping around files and taking system logs without notice on top of just being overly resource intensive, totally bare bones and easily broken.

Ah, didn't mention I'm on Linux. Not gonna bother with a paid client just for Wii U homebrew anyway.

Really kinda sucks that all the FTP clients that seem good are Windows only.

Yeah, there's a module for the modern custom firmware that runs an ftp server in the background for file access. Let's you manage things, add homebrew, install games, etc without constantly swapping the SD card. For whatever reason, though, GNOME commander can't connect at all and gFTP disconnects immediately when trying to make a transfer.

I still don't trust it given what the devs have done and how they responded to the community.

Same shit different software. I'm still using that turd Filezilla because literally no other FTP software I've tried has worked with the server run by WiiU homebrew.
