Also, what bugs me about this is that your text editor is not “fedora/gnome/whatever” or “FUCKING LINUX” it’s just a text editor. Often, they don’t even install with a spell check dictionary. I guess it would fall under “whatever” but, eh, not in that context.
ETA: Just noticed they’re root. I predict their next post will be FUCKING LINUX ISN’T SECURE!!!1
It’s not just Lemmy, it’s all of the communities and people that he constantly trolls and shits on. The only people he hasn’t tried to piss off are neo-fascists and Russians. If someone doesn’t see that, they must not be paying attention. Which, well… that’s not a bad idea, to be honest.
Regardless, it’s nice that everyone is finally waking up to the fact that he’s just a grifter who likes to call non-grifters pedos.
Also, I caught the comment you made next to this one; what client are you using that shows downvotes? If they’re actually downvoted (shows +1 to me), it’s likely because the sentence, right after the one they quoted, answered their question. So, the comment as-is didn’t really add anything to the conversation.
It was meant as a joke. Capitalism isn’t feudalism in new cloths, either, but that gets a pass. I think you just hate ducks.
Besides, serfdom went on for centuries, under hundreds of different lords and rulers, in just as many environments. Your description covers one type, not all types. It’s disingenuous to paint it black and white, just because you have a problem with ducks.

Serfs in Gucci belts.
Ah, who am I kidding? Serfs had a far better work/life balance than most people in the developed world today. They had to use regular belts, though, which is embarrassing.
Netflix seems to hold on to content for as long as possible, but HBO is going the route of removing content to avoid paying residuals to cast and crew. Frankly, because of that terrible decision, I’m relieved to see people leaving. That’s right; I subscribed and they removed West World right as I started it. I’m bitter, but mostly, that’s just a nasty thing to do to the cast and crew of shows that people love.
Also, side tangent. What the hell is with modern marketing firms getting into the brains of c-suites and talking them into destroying their brand? I mean, “Max”? WTF? HBO has been a household name since the 80s; everyone knows it, there was no need for a change. You know what Max is to most people? Cinemax, another household name from the 80s. Just stupid.
Every time I go to buy cat food I have to hunt down the bag, because some asshole talked them into a logo/design/name change. They’re changing something their customers look for, because some marketer is rattling around in their heads. It’s maddening.
People ask me where my wife works, and I can’t remember the name, because some marketer talks them into a revamp every 2 years.
Did everyone just graduate from the Elon Musk School of Dumb Marketing Decisions? PLEASE STOP, DAMMIT!
Can someone explain all the of possums these past few days? And, while I’m on the subject…
Car hitting possum memes: No. :(…
Cowboy possum memes: YES! :D
The sentence after the one you quoted explains how this is different from other treatments (it’s Musk). With any other company, the question wouldn’t have even entered my mind.
Ye olde shitte transcribers
Neuralink said in a blog post that it was looking for people who had paralysis in all four limbs because of a spinal-cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, these people are willing to take a risk in order to overcome difficult conditions, and that should be allowed. On the other hand, it feels like Neuralink is preying on their hopes.
If the company figurehead wasn’t a libertarian billionaire edgelord, I might look past that second hand. No chance of that, though. He’s going to kill people, and then he’s going to retweet memes about it.

Israel has free healthcare, college, and war. How neat for them.

You guys got 2 years? I was given just 6 months! I can feel my DNA mutilating, so I’m expecting to pass through those pearly Gates any time now.
Is there any reasonable stance a person could hold, where teachers unions would be a “frequent foe”?
Imagine always knowing better than teachers, doctors, historians, fact checkers, other parents, and virtually any expert or intellectual. I can’t even wrap my head around that level of ego. The mind boggles.
I strongly disagree. How does one even acquire knowledge of military history without language skills? Youtube videos, TV shows, and movies are not “advanced level education” (their words), but writing research papers is. Even if they somehow soak up the knowledge without reading, if they can’t write at a higher level than what I’m expecting here, they’re going to fail their classes. Hell, they won’t even make it to college.
This person is either lazy, sloppy, ignorant, apathetic, or some combination of those. Why on Earth would I want them as a teacher, when there are millions of other educators who don’t have these issues? It’s a red flag is all; that’s my entire point. Of course, there are brilliant educators who cannot write, but the vast majority of people who have gone through higher education know how capitalization works in sentences. Again, just a red flag, not an absolute. There’s no need to gamble; we owe this person nothing.
Basic language skills aren’t an above-and-beyond expectation from someone calling themselves an educator, it’s baseline. When even that’s not met, it brings doubt to everything else they may say. Maybe you’re fine with that, I am not.
I believe they’re just responding to a statement in the article:
Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.
People don’t seem too upset about this, so I’ll go off in another direction! The Youtuber doesn’t understand basic capitalization, in titles or sentences, and even the channel name is botched. To add some irony, the channel has “Learn” in its name.
I’m not expecting English majors be consulted for every statement, but the most basic grammar, that small children learn, is certainly not too much to expect from an “educational” channel. That’s bottom-of-the-barrel, and they still can’t be bothered. Hell, there are dozens of websites that you can just drop text into, and the site will automatically fix your capitalization, instantly, for free.
They describe themselves as an “advanced level” education channel. You can’t even get away with that kind of sloppiness in junior high, so the actual channel “level” is likely below that. If they can’t be bothered with such a basic detail, we should not trust anything else they have to say.
Apologies for the digression, and the rant. This is mildly infuriating, but I feel better now.
If you don’t speak to pollsters, how do you know if they’re reptilian or not?

I have a tall mouth, and I drink tall tea. The cup is the same, though.
I don’t think it would be fun to be a serf, and I haven’t idealized it. I made a dumb joke, based on a trope, and a couple of you guys just can’t accept that, and have to leave a smug reply.
I worked in manual labor for decades, in worse conditions than any serf ever experienced, right up until my body fell apart. 20 years ago, I would have traded my life with nearly any serf, in a heartbeat, and I’d be far better off now.
But, I’m sure you could show little old me what hard living really is. If only I knew!
