Self-satisfaction at stretching the definition of fascism.
If you're getting downvoted here where anti-fascism thrives, and you think it's for criticizing fascism, then there's probably something else going on (and you're probably being an idiot).
Are tankies the pro- or anti-fascist crowd?
I thought they were far left whereas fascists far right.
It's hard to keep track of all these vying affiliations.
He also said bluesky's shift toward a traditional corporate structure and the introduction of centralized moderation tools were major factors behind his leaving the company, and he vouched for alternatives like nostr.
It seems a bit more challenging to pull shit like this on nostr.
I found it odd, too: dictionary entry.
I'm guessing it's cross language: romance languages tend to place nouns before modifiers.
Or maybe it's "People of Rome"?
No True Scotsman?
That could be true if the image is merely descriptive of our messy reality.
I see the image as including a prescriptive message that states an ethical ideal: a real scientist should welcome their findings challenged, even refuted, because the goal is truth.
Science excels by dispelling falsehoods.
That seems right.
(It could use some alt text, though.)
I understood exactly what you were saying & assuming: it's just wrong and off-topic.
The article contends "generating Ghibli art style" is an attack on democratic values, which is bullshit.
You're saying I'm advocating for disrespecting artists, which I'm not, and has nothing to do whether "generating Ghibli art style" attacks democratic values.
The pointless outrage over who is or isn't "respecting artists" is a distraction from the broken thesis of the article: it's wrong & you're letting that appeal to emotion & red herring fallacy
distract you from the fact that the article's conclusions don't follow from its premises
demonize people who point this out as somehow "against artists" (when they may even agree that it's good to respect artists).
That's wrong, irrational, and you're falling for the article's deception.
worthless when the website itself decides thatbit won’t show you the content
Businesses are legally bound to make their online content accessible: a screenshot without alt text doesn't solve this for them.
Isn't it common practice around here to link to archives?
Quoting & linking isn't worthless.
quoting? you mean, all of the response tweets?
Yes.
Unreasonable?
No, compulsory & common standard industry standard.
Out of legal necessity (and market reach), they already write text out (as alt text for all meaningful images).
An image of a tweet with replies requires writing all that text out.
Try this exercise yourself to realize how pointless an image of text is (which images of tweets mostly are).
Take an image of text, write the markup to display the image, include an alt attribute set to the full text shown in the image.
If you have any sense, you'll return to the source of the image to copy & paste the original text into the alt attribute.
If you lack sense, you'll tediously read the image and retype it into the alt attribute.
Your choice.
Realize anything yet?
You're returning to the source, so linking it is basic sense, right?
You already write text out, but your effort is wasted as a flat text attribute for an image that adds nothing compelling, only some meaningless visuals of UI artifacts.
That text could instead be the main attraction with semantic mark up (blockquotes, paragraphs, lists, etc).
It makes more sense to skip the image entirely & quote the text directly: less work, more functional, better.
and how do you quote images, videos?
The way it's already done.
Online news doesn't typically give screenshots of images or videos.
They link, embed, or copy the image or video to directly provide it alongside some quotes.
Selecting lines of text instead of rectangles of screen to copy & paste isn't a novel, farfetched idea.
In that case, too, the text can be quoted, then just like magic it's accessible.
A quote that links to the source is a strong combination.
Everyone benefits: the text is searchable, reflowable, adaptable to multi-modal input & output, easy to quote via copy & paste, etc.
It's simply more useful & screenshots don't inherently give any of that.
