  • Yeah the explanation can't be true. It would take a single thread like 0 milliseconds to render the background image. That must be a shitpost.

    That being said, I can imagine the first part being true due to some random windows fuckery

  • To elaborate on the lack of E2EE, this doesn't mean your ISP or so can see the content (the traffic between you and the server is encrypted as part of HTTPS), but your instance admin or anybody else with access to the server could.

  • in some places people of certain skincolors or descents are more likely to commit certain crimes so that's not really an argument.

    The better argument IMO is that the racist versions target discriminated minority groups, while this one targets the group that is generally not the victim

  • I'll flip this around a bit and make a less exaggerated version:

    Half the problem is that many politicians were born in like 1960 and still think that necessary spending only consists of rent and groceries.

    The society we've built since then requires much more. Without a smartphone you can barely be a functioning member of society sometimes. Lots of places you have to own a car and pay for gas to get anywhere. The list goes on.

    And what about social needs? There is no neighborhood bar to go and chill without spending money. There are fewer and fewer places where you can go and exist for free anymore. Capitalism and especially neoliberalism has robbed us of third places.

    These politicians (or their voters) may remember a time when they could exist somewhat comfortably with a low wage. That's just become much harder, so if rent is like half of your income nowadays, that no longer means you have the other half just for leisure spending.

  • I dunno, your argument is built on democracy and the rule of law being the arbiters of what is right. Democratic systems can be weak, and in the case of US healthcare democracy has failed. At that point, how can vigilante justice be wrong if it represents the will of the people?
