I really raeg when someone says "apple invented the smartphone" like let me kill you know and save myself the anguish of wishing i had

I had a Kyocera 6035, literally the first commercially available smartphone. Ran PalmOS. (It's literally my picture on the WP page for it) 2001, a few months before the iPod, never mind the iPhone.

Well it certainly is a meal for the frog :)

Ericsson phones were second only to Nokia phones for their durability.

Isn't that because Android is system agnostic?

Been a while since I used a true bare stock Android device. G1 must have had a file explorer though right?

@BB69 the fact that you misrepresent what i said shows how much of a rhetorical demagogue you are

@CyberBoy sounds better and better every day

If by average you mean the totality of every human being in America... have you driven through a city lately?

A roof over your head beats a tent that gets torn up once a month by cops

You're trying to tie a different issue to the discussion here and it's simply non sequitur.

We're not talking about restricting speech at a legal level, we're talking about opposing bad speech with good speech or by cultivating private fora where good speech is encouraged and bad speech discouraged.

You literally jumped down the pitfall of the rhetoric of the bigoted folks that I alluded to. Excellent aim, wrong target.

@emstuff is that the "theme for fat guy in a disney cartoon" riff? I can't into music notation

Now hold on. Nobody said not tolerating meant suppressing. It means opposing.

That.... that's bigot rhetoric, and is full circle to the issue here. "You can't call me out for using the N word because MAH FREE SPEACH"

I agree with you about free speech -- and I would also argue that it extends to forums wanting freedom to choose what they contain.

There's always other forums. Private forums controlling their content isn't silencing. That's not how it works.

The difference between teaching about an ideology and presenting an ideology as true or correct or better

Like, we should teach ideology -- all of them. We should teach religion -- all of them. Not in the way parochial schools do (as the truth) but holistically, as things that exist.

the early frog gets the... maggot?

Shit. What is it? This could very well be the next #Garfield Without Garfield.

Is this a reference to the British guy who built a motorized driveable trash bin?

People are focusing on the image rather than the link. (as have I). Mainly because it is bigger and prettier and-- ooh, shiny thing!

I think he's referring to the conflating of tolerance with acceptance of intolerance that is implied by the image text

Although according to someone else's comment, it actually is even darker than that.

And that "paradox" boils down to the intolerant saw of "you're not tolerant if you're not tolerant of intolerance"

It's a paradox b/c it's not really a paradox, but it seems like one, when couched disingenuously.

But it's like freedom. Can you really believe in freedom if you believe in law and punishment? But can you truly be free with criminals running amok? So to have freedom, you must restrict freedom of those who would take away your freedom.

I'm well aware lots of ppl say "no" here

The paradox of tolerance actually means NOT to be okay with that.

@bloubz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie basically the origins of the term is from those who supported Stalinist military incursions into Czechoslovakia and Hungary to oppose anti-Soviet-government agitation.

So basically tankie == authoritarian marxist-leninist. The red-brown alliance kind of folks.

@moss @gravelsDrachma If its appearance in my masto feed is any indication, it's quite busy! at least by lemmy standards
