  • Totally get that. Likewise hope I was not too harsh either :)

  • This has the same vibe as saying everything in math is set theory, which IMO is more reductive than older than 14 and deep TM.

  • I agree that making formal points in latin screams debatelord. However, I would otherwise be careful not being too harsh on someone's way of talking. There is nothing wrong with them calling themselves a layman and you calling it weird is just unnecessarily hostile.

    Be chill and let people use colourful language if they want to. If they are nonnative English speakers they may even have been force-fed idioms and weird words right, left and centre and your hostility could be making you an ass.

  • Grinding the bones of billionaires is hard menial work that I reckon will keep us warm for a long ass while.

  • I like it. It reminds me that Lemmy is a small space and that people on the internet are not bots, so we have to be nice to each other :) Plus it is always fun seeing you around in different threads.

  • Just to clarify, basic skills do not equate to common skills. Everyone goes through stages and situations in life that they are not mentally equipped to handle. Incidentally, situations like that is a good pivot point for acquiring said skills. Also CBT helps you doing this, even though it is a little boring.

  • What EQ do you use? I've been using Easy Effects for a while, but have been plagued by crackling and stereo sound only playing on one ear lately.

  • Sadly, they are most likely forced to sell their labor for survival short term and hence cannot even invest their own time for the purpose of making something truly great.

  • The premises of the questions are wrong, hence they do not speak to the knowledge of anyone but yourself unfortunately. There are no last element in an infinite chain, because that is contradictory to the fact that they are infinite. Even questions such as the barber's paradox, that are not logical fallacies, do not imply the nonexistence of god.

    Mathematically speaking, everyone knows the last digit in Pi due to there not being one. We call this concept that something is vacuously true. Similarly a nonsense statement such as "all ants on the moon eat people for breakfast" is also true by default.

  • It is not Android that is backing up most things though, it is mostly done by Google Services. That means that your data is effectively vendor locked-in if you want to use Android as an actual open source project. Google gutting the AOSP to this extent should be illegal (maybe even is, but might is right).

  • A lot to unpack here...

    include all forms of imperialism

    Being mainly concerned with global economic imperialism does not imply acceptance for more traditional imperialism.

    reflect their values

    Instances are independent and federated, hence do not need to reflect the values of the project as a whole in any way. These properties of decentralization are the values of Lemmy.

    I've seen the rest of your claims before and you have been asked to present any facts contributing to them elsewhere. Seeing that you still have not responded to them, I will refrain from discussing it in depth for the time being.

    I get the impression that your bar for "evidence" are lowered due to some personal experience. To actually engage on a point you made, modlogs have been a mess for a while and there are good reasons not to federate all details of content moderated (such as child porn). It seems weird to me that you contribute this to an agenda of the devs trying to control other instances when they were the ones that gave the other instances their independence in the first place. These actions also do not further any such agenda in a meaningful way. The much simpler and probable explanation is that engineering stuff like this is hard.

  • Spoiler: They don't. They are also not letting the absence of facts hinder them from claiming stuff to be true. Subsequently they worry about why their comments are being moderated.

  • Yeah, they donated their spare time to give you a decentralized platform where you could criticize them because they want to stifle "freedom of discussion"... That the lemmy.ml instance is heavily moderated on stuff like imperialist propaganda is a non-issue for freedom of expression due to the nature of federation. The devs do not even want their instance (lemmy.ml) to be the biggest, but actively promote joining other instances.

    You confuse your right to express your opinions with the privilege of someone else providing you a platform for you to express them on. The devs provide the former without obligating themselves to be the ones to give you the latter.

  • Infinite growth on finite resources is such a bad idea on so many levels.

  • Because anyone trying anything remotely close to communism becomes a big target for bourgeouisie capitalist interests. But hey, it is much better to be a chill communist who gets strung up in the streets by fascists while accomplishing nothing, am I right?

  • You mean #legalizeit was about being able to legally profit from it and not about mental health???

  • Yeah! Let us withhold their paycheck to teach them a lesson!!

  • Lmao thanks. I had not met my government mandated amount of chuckles yet!

  • The US might prove true if you include gun nuts toppling their own government by voting for fascist scum.
