You couldn’t even comprehend that I wasn’t criticising a person (consider this as criticism). Instead, I made a point illustrating that switching off from reddit didn’t do any good for the community. It really isn’t that great that instead of active discussion you stumble upon months-old threads.

I don’t know their area of research, but I’m already rooting for the puppy shredder machine!

You just replied to a two-month old post. What a booming community! Clearly, leaving reddit vitalized it so much.

Fact: natural gingers are objectively inferior to dyed ones. First of all, they are ginger all over, and it’s not that cool if you ask me. Second, their color fades with time and becomes just meh.

plant: evolves bitter taste

human: starves so has to eat whatever he can find

human: w/e, it was edible, I’ll get more of it, maybe only plant the ones that taste better than the rest

plant: I guess I’m domesticated now

have phones? Or clothes?

the question is how much. When did you buy your last phone? A year ago? Two? I’m still rocking my nokia dumb phone I got like 15 years ago. Same with everything else. The consumption is orders of magnitude more, literally.

I wonder what would slaves or serfs say about your record high inequality.

accusing them of “wanting too much”

It’s not accusations, it’s a statement of a fact. How many smartphones would an average westerner own in their life? How much clothes? All other useless “things” that nobody can live without? When europoors were starving and couldn’t afford living in Europe, they moved and colonised America and Siberia, maybe it’s time to think about moving to Venezuela or something where you’d definitely be able to afford a house and whatnot?

And on a slightly less vitriolic note, why blame corpos for inequality when you yourself vote for the officials who make the corpo dreams come true? I mean they do only what people allow them to do.

The real answer to that is, dear firstworlders, you want too much and you think you deserve it. For the entirety of history people lived in big families exactly because they couldn’t afford all the shit on their own, the couldn’t get more houses out of nowhere or easily get more land. The shithole countries live like that right now and nobody says I’m gonna stop reproducing because I can’t decide whether I want a steamdeck or like a child crib. Because of this mindset we do actually have the global warming, and no amount of banned (but not really) plastic straws will fix that.

You want infinite expansion of wealth? Go to Mars.

Sure thing! Just answer one question: why is there so many mentally challenged people (such as yourself) using lemmy? I’m really surprised to see so many idk who? Retards? Children? Manchildren? And I’m not talking about me being downvoted, I’m talking about people responding more or less like you en masse.

How can you say it’s free market if it’s literally mandatory? Call it tax, but it won’t even be paid to the budget. Instead some private insurance companies would benefit from that. Yay legislators?

Orbital mechanics don’t work like that. If you shoot for the moon and miss it, it’s likely that you come back and burn in Earth atmosphere. It literally happened like last month.

I am not going to watch the video or even look for the detailed description, but I wanna know one thing: did he shout Trump Akbar or is it too early for that and american society isn’t ready?

ps funny how my thinly veiled islamophobic comment is being upvoted as long as it’s against trump

pps it’s even funnier how the downvotes only appeared after I pointed out what this comment really is

lol that’s the best you’ve got?

still using for years

never used it for a month even

Hurr durr default reply “open source do it yourself”. If the feature was requested over a decade ago with overwhelming support from users, if the feature is default behavior for many other opensource players, I can only blame dev team for being stubborn and not giving a fuck about users. When I attempted to switch to vlc I’ve encountered more than one example of this insanity - many old posts asking or reporting something with replies like 5, 6, 8 years later: “still not fixed”, “still no solution”.

Also, if you take a closer look at how it’s developed, it’s not your normal OPEN open source community, it’s a walled garden as much as it can be while still being open source. Devs aren’t focused on UX at all.

So why would I bother contributing to such project? There are better players, even if not cross-platform ones.

And yet desktop vlc dev team is absolute garbage refusing to add basic features that many people been asking for years.

You’re refusing to understand what I’m telling you, instead you’re just continuing with “but aktchually”.

Same argument was made about Jan 6

cuz it was just a pathetic mob, not a civil war. Look up how civil wars/revolutions start. It is almost always a gradual process with enough time for escalation and enough time for people to pick sides. I’m not saying it’s gonna 100% start one day, but if it starts all your arguments about “future career” can go to toilet. People will be thinking about their careers under new regime or whatever.

so what? What if a whole airbase chooses a side or side is chosen as a result of inner struggle and it falls under control of the guys you don’t like? You talk as if it never happened before, take a look at recent civil wars, government doesn’t always keep absolute control over its own assets.
