This is a good explanation

Add in a long distance between order and pay (or a slow blue driver).

iOS uses freeBSD and OpenBSD components. Isn’t that the same thing?

The advantage of datacenters in space is that the peasants can’t break in and sabotage your equipment.

If that’s your criteria, put servers in containers and sink them in the ocean. Bonus, no cooling problems.

No, I asked what Europen financial customs do Americans find strange. Finish the following sentence.

Europeans should tip in America because when Americans go to Europe they have to …

1/ Failed to stay on the topic of tipping.

2/ Refused to engage further when called out.

I rate this engagement 2/10.

You do have a valid general point about how bad service jobs are under capitalism, but you are unable to make it relevant to the focus of discussion, which is tipping.

What are the strange financial European customs that Americans have follow when in Europe?

Tax exempt tip income is mainly limited to the US.

“long live Europe” ignores exploitation in the service industry in Europe. That’s not “whataboutism”.

= responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation

I’m not deflecting the accusation from the Americans

Yes you are. You didn’t dicuss the topic. You have “forum slided” into definitions of whataboutism.

Whataboutery is to say “the accusation does not stand because the accuser is also guilty”.

Because you are trying to move the goalposts away from US tipping culture towards a broader service topic where Europe is also guilty.

Let’s see if you can stay on topic. Tips are taxed in Europe, but not in the US. That is why there is a difference. It’s not culture. It’s government policy.

are we really going to pretend that there is no exploitation in the service industry in Europe?

Pure whataboutism

Well, you picked Europeans. You said “Whatabout Europeans”.

Why should the customer support a tax grift?

Why do people think that gta6 content will be stored locally?

It’s not at all complicated. R&D vote in lockstep for corporate issues. They only differ on policies that affect living voters.

exaggeration is acceptable as long as the general idea is true,

Totally disagree. If the goal is to influence someone’s opinion, in any forum, then it will remain their opinion longer if it solidly fact based, without exaggeration.

even hyperbolic exaggeration.

Obvious hyperbolic statements can be very useful. They increase enjoyment for the billions of lemmy readers and make them more receptive.

Conversations don’t stop and wait for you to look up something that ultimately is at best a minor correction

However, in this format that luxury exists.

because it’s not needed and frankly its silly.

It is needed because otherwise it damages the argument.

Constantly moving goal posts in order to discredit a true fact because the way it was presented is not precise.

If you notice, my contributions have not touched any goalposts. Encouraging accuracy is not changing the argument.

Which is what?

Note, I’m not disagreeing with the guy. I’m helping them make better arguments.
