“see what these people made us do”

Let’s ignore the fact that these protestors’ entire credo is: “The shitty thing you’re watching me physically do right now? it’s not my fault! Blame the corporations / capitalism / etc!”

Yes, you have our attention. But like when the dog finally catches the car it’s chasing… now what? Or did they never think past the step of doing destructive / self-destructive shit to piss people off?

Points at group of people. “You’re doing all kinds of horrible things.”

Points to person not in the group. “…and that’s why you’re ruining Lemmy!”

The only footage is of the aftermath. But if you want to disregard the eyewitness reports, then I guess you can be you.

Here’s a CNN report (you have to watch the video) where two eyewitnesses say the protestor tried to punch out the glass. I mean… I’m not accusing the person of being smart, trying to break bulletproof glass with their fists.

And I guess there’s always a chance this guy is from that other climate activist group that goes around vandalizing high-profile art, and then raving about how we’re killing the planet.

Oh, and the fun part. I 100% think we should reduce fossil fuel emissions.

Unfortunately, the Just Stop Oil geniuses are so hellbent on being attention-seeking tools that they destroy all of the credibility behind their cause.

I really hate to break it to you, but that isn’t the Mona Lisa.

And also…

a visitor to the Louvre Museum in Paris tried to smash the glass protecting the famous painting, and then smeared what looked like cake frosting across the surface.

Go re-read my comment that sparked your diatribe. Thanks.

No death threats. No complaining about ads. No saying Sync should be free. Not even any hissy fits. Disappointing, as far as comments go, really.

Shut it all down, folks.

I made a joke about the Sync dev who quit his day job to work on Sync 100%, then ghosted.

Lemmy is dead.

“We hate oil! Let’s block traffic and force thousands of people to idle, burning more oil than they would’ve if we hadn’t blocked them!”

Absolute brainless bellends.

And yes, the actual art is fine. But they still do actual damage to other parts of the museums – spray-painting walls and destroying frames & display cases. And when they threw crap at the Mona Lisa, they tried breaking through the glass protecting the painting first, so they could destroy the actual painting.

Excellent deduction. I was totally saying they were the same thing. /s

Blocking emergency vehicles on roadways and damaging pieces of art aren’t “interrupting computer toy showcases” either (“God, people who play videogames… what a bunch of fucking losers! Right, /c/games?”). But “yay” for that, too.

I’m pointing out the mindset of people here.

“Thanks for the money. Later, nerds.”

[Just Stop Oil protestor stabs a random old lady in the face]

[Lemmy users collectively applaud in support] “If it wasn’t disruptive, nobody would listen! Yay!”

I get that you can technically post to Lemmy with Mastodon.

But, man, is it messy.

That laptop has seen some shit…

Now… Can we not send this latest "new voice of ___” person death threats, Gamers?

Just this once? Can you not prove to everyone that anyone who enjoys videogames is trash?

The thing about WordPress federation… Nothing shows up outside of the actual blog unless it was published after the federation happened.

Again, this is all in context to teens bullying each other over having the “wrong phone”.

Unless, of course, you’re saying a teen might bully THEMSELF for having the wrong phone. The different-colored bubble is for only your own texts.

Google’s messages app also uses different colours for SMS and their RCS.

Um. No, it literally doesn’t.

In a group text, the bubbles are all the same color. Each person’s name that shows up above the bubble is a random color that corresponds to nothing.

If you start a one-on-one text chat with someone, there’s a little speech bubble 🗨 that shows up next to their avatar in your list of chats if it’s an RCS chat. That’s the only way to identify RCS chats.

EDIT: Also your messages on your phone are dark blue for RCS messages you send, and light blue for SMS/MMS messages you send.

There mere existence of green & blue bubbles is entirely an Apple thing.

As an Android user, I don’t know what type of phone the person I’m texting uses unless they tell me.

I’ve actually used this app for years. I mostly forget it’s even there. Which, for what it is, is actually good.

I assume I’d disabled it previously, since it’s the first time I ever got one of those notifications.

But I can’t prove anything since the app is gone now.
