Thanks! I read a few of their comments, I agree in principle, but saying Occupy Wallstreet failed because antagonizing the 1% isn’t broad enough is a wild take :D

Sure, protests have organizers that do marketing/pr, logistics and the official registrations for the events. Therefore most large and significant protest movements in history are marketed with a sole purpose and can be boiled down to one topic:

Women’s March= women’s rights 1970 Earth Day= environment George Floyd/BLM= police brutality Globally it’s the same, think of Fridays for Future for example.

Sure people went to Earth Day with peace flags or believing whatever but the framing of the event was clear.

No I’m complaining about groups with specific interests framing the entire campaign

Well, yeah. Be general. If I want to sell candy I don’t market it to 11-year-old claustrophobic basketball players, I market it to kids.

Every specificity that is added to the movement’s message scares away potential supporters that can no longer identify. This is global though. Every fringe group wants to add their message to the masthead of every protest. The left has had this problem forever.

So what’s the agreed-upon purpose of up- and down votes on Lemmy? Because I feel like the news of this clusterfuck of a bad business decision is technews-worthy and doesn’t deserve the downvotes.

Autsch für die NOZ

This has become one of the major incentives of the scheme for staff; transferring to GendBuntu from a proprietary system means the staff member receives a new computer with a widescreen monitor.

Smart! What I wouldn’t do for new equipment…

What even is this. It’s like a Foss OS & Store but all proprietary? More like unfreephone

And you already know they’re gonna autogenerate audio-ads and product placements in these summaries as soon as people start using them.

Well, long walk for a short drink of water… Moreover, the point around the anecdotal Cloudflare Developer’s self experiment seems to be “Don’t trust in hearsay” rather than “don’t self experiment”, as the major gripes with the experiment are all related to external lack of trust in the experimenter’s applied scientific methods. I get the point of not overestimating your own ability to think critically in this regard, but I wouldn’t discard self experimentation per se, as it could always lead to further study.

Great, now that 50% of a video can be a direct call for genocide, does that at LEAST mean I can use ONE instance of a “bad” word or speak of “icky” things like death and drug abuse without being demonized?

I’m genuinely curious to what extend the societal divide extends into the armed forces. How can can there be trust among soldiers in combat situations if they are diametrically opposed on fundamental things like this.

Yeah well, one can dream

Oh nein, doch nicht auf Dixi-Toiletten! :o Das ist jetzt nicht der Knüller, den ich aus dem Artikel heraus destilliert hätte

Wonder how much longer Vlad can afford those troll farms…

Dreher calling identity-based politics and rewriting history “leftist qualities” is hilariously delusional.

Genieß!
