You don’t have to say you’re anti-war before saying you support supplying Ukraine. Giving Ukraine the means to defend themselves from warmongering is a form of being anti-war.

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Then be mad that Putin is forcing them into this situation

NattyNatty2x4 ,

While people shouldn’t be shunned for being fat, it is always unhealthy. Stupid myths about HAES also cause a lot of harm and even death

NattyNatty2x4 ,

You: “I’m not Russian. I’m not a troll.”

Also you: immediately proceeds to pretend supplying Ukraine with the weapons they need to defend from a warmongering Russia is itself warmongering

Next you’ll say that a rape victim defending themself is aggression

What’s a DNS server?

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Interesting, thanks for the info. I’ll have to google around about this when I have some free time today

NattyNatty2x4 ,

To be clear, are you implying you think private entities should have to let you screech anything you want on their digital front lawn?

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Gotcha, so you are in fact implying that anyone should be allowed to say whatever they want on other people’s digital property, and cloaking it in platitudes about censorship and 1984 rah rah. Trying to be eloquent in your response doesn’t hide the substance of what you’re saying.

Side note: I always love how conservatives, “nonpolitical” people, and “centrists” evoke 1984 imagery while also claiming that liberals are a vast and powerful, but also clumsy and weak, enemy. Almost like you use the same rhetoric on your enemies that the book you jackoff to had its sheep masses believe about their fake enemy. I’m sure that realization won’t have much impact on your programmed double-think, though.

You think conspiracy theories in general sound reasonable, don’t you

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Musk isn’t gonna pay you for all these apologetics you’re making in this post

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Eh this is a much harder topic than you make it seem. For people like you and me, this may be the best approach to change our minds on things, but we also are the type of people to look at the facts around Musk and already come to the conclusion that he’s a far-right, duplicitous manchild.

The people that flock to him and others like him, however, are not the type to respond to just the facts. They’re invested emotionally into some aspect of what Musk is “selling” them. I don’t know what the correct response is to try and win these people over to reality, but calm, reasoned responses to the monkey throwing its shit around the interview room isn’t how you win over the people on the monkey’s side. They already know he throws his shit around and they like it

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Hey cut Musk some slack, average people aren’t actually people

Not enough caps though

I’m curious what you mean by soul here, if you’re using it in a metaphorical sense or the religious sense

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Oh buddy come on you can’t actually be misunderstanding how they used “horrible.” They’re not saying it’s bad quality they’re saying it’s bad morally

NattyNatty2x4 ,

“That’s "suppressing theft masquerading as art is awesome” you hear in that comment."

Emphasis mine. The context clues make the intended meaning pretty obvious

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Well I’ve never heard of a religious person claiming AI could have a soul in the religious sense, and “soul” has other meanings than the religiously literal one, so yes?

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Yea it seems pretty par for the course. As much as I really don’t like the US’s prison system, I personally think this kinda shit needs to see harsh punishments. Supporters of places like China and Russia need to know that this shit will not fly and that at least while they’re here, they need to suck it the fuck up

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Ideally? Something like worker cooperatives or similar where profit and decision-making is more democratically spread through businesses.

Realistically? Probably capitalists by another name

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Asmongold is fucking weird who cares what he thinks about random preferences like this

NattyNatty2x4 ,

renamed themselves to “Russian Federation”,

By this logic the Roman empire should just be called the Roman republic. The systems of governance might be similar and both be abhorrent, but the USSR isn’t the same as the Russian federation

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Dude honestly sounds proud of being a NIMBY

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Yes yes, encouraging EEE is totally a win-win…

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Absolutely not, federating with Threads is the first step in the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish process that businesses have used in the past to kill things like the fediverse. This is a win for businesses that want to see the fediverse dead and buried

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Hey now that’s not all they are. A concerning number of them also don’t like statutory rape laws

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Lol please, no way Musk would accept a recall unless it was severe enough to be forced on him

NattyNatty2x4 ,

he’s convinced that white hetero men are the most repressed “minority” right now,

By his own logic, wouldn’t that mean he should think the world would be a better place if white hetero men like himself didn’t exist?

NattyNatty2x4 ,

I used to play League a lot and yea there’s a fire hose of info you gotta learn at the beginning, especially as they continue to add new champs.

I’d say:

  1. watch some kind of 'getting started video on YouTube, and search for the categories that different champs are in (e.g. support, ad carry, ap, bruiser, jungle, etc). Some of the categories overlap, because some are how the champ plays and some are their job in normal games. Google/YouTube explanations about this too.
  2. If you can get those things mapped out in your head, it’ll give you and idea for what kind of champ each is going to play as and against (i.e. you’ll know if the person you run into is gonna be tanky and hard to kill, a glass cannon, etc).
  3. Probably just stick to playing bruisers and other tanky champs for now so you don’t die right away, and slowly learn as you go.

Good luck lol

NattyNatty2x4 ,

We got any guesses what his go-to cocktail is?

NattyNatty2x4 ,

That you think musk’s character flaws are comparable to the average person’s says more about you than it does him

The man’s good at generating hype for his companies, I’ll give you that. His blatant disregard for his employees’ wellbeing, retweeting of antisemitic lies, manchild personality, and implicit support of far right ideology in general goes far beyond the average person’s character flaws, however

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Minor fyi but it’s spelled bougie

NattyNatty2x4 ,

I’ve heard so much conflicting shit over this event that I have no idea what to believe

NattyNatty2x4 ,

I’m pretty sure that consumer preference is for the monthly fee, else so many companies wouldn’t have moved to no setup fee and amortizing the costs over a period of time.

It’s more that companies have figured out that monthly/subscription fees make them more money than lump sum, even when the product is identical. It’s why we’ve seen things like Microsoft Office 365 replace their previous single-purchase model

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Musk still has legions of fan boys; I’m not terribly surprised the eternally optimistic futurism fan boys have found another company-face to worship

NattyNatty2x4 ,

I could be wrong but I don’t think there’s any evidence that the fossil fuel industry worked to suppress storage research/funding. Pretty much every IT industry has a huge interest in improving battery tech and energy storage in general, it’s just that we’ve already hit all the low hanging fruit from a chemistry standpoint

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....

NattyNatty2x4 ,

I never understood this argument. Apple lost its fight to make the environment worse for the customer, so you’re gonna reward them?

NattyNatty2x4 ,

If they can manage it, it’s safe to assume they will implement those issues

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Momentum is hard to change

NattyNatty2x4 ,

I mean it literally does. It’s the same reason Twitter hasn’t completely imploded yet, despite Musk doing his best to turn it into a cesspit. People stay on it because it has lots of people and their niche subs, which makes it harder for people to leave and coalesce in new areas and recreate niche subs, which feeds into the cycle

YouTube once again ahead of uBO on Firefox; fiddling with the extension settings not working this time and DDG search is useless ... anyone got ideas?

Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my...

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Lol

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Apple has put a lot of effort into (successfully) creating a customer-base that thinks overpriced goods and different colored texts make them in a special club, I’m not surprised that an exec thought this excuse would fly

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Yea sorry but I disagree with the vast majority of things you said. Consistent, coherent, and well thought out experiences are pretty par for the course at this point, regardless of what flagship phone company you’re buying from. The UX is great for people who grow up with the UX, just like android UX is great for people who grow up with it. Android users who switch to Apple generally think Apple’s UX is dogshit, and vice versa. The UX argument is trash and the reality of it is that people just think whatever UX they’re used to is the more intuitive one. Support is pretty much the same in my experience between the two, and I have an android personal phone and an apple work phone. The major difference is the image that Apple support airs is better. The vast majority of popular Android applications are just as stable and usable as Apple apps, and the ones that aren’t are often niche enough that similar apps aren’t even on the apple appstore. So it’s a question of basically the same service for most apps, and then either no service or degraded service for lesser apps.

The one thing they have over android is the security argument, which is fair to an extent, but not this bulwark that a lot of people like to pretend it is. The Fappening, for example, still got plenty of explicit images from Apple phones.

All in all, apple is an advertising company first, and a tech company second, with admittedly improved security, but also admittedly security that isn’t good enough to justify the price hike.

NattyNatty2x4 ,

No one can say he isn’t talented lol

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Apple fans when Apple finally gets slapped for being the cunt it is:

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Imo it’s not so much that corporate profit is the problem, it’s how corporate profit is allowed to happen. Make stock buybacks illegal again, revert tax law to a point where dividends are a better way to profit than endlessly increasing share price, and force all businesses to be some form of business cooperative.

It’s not a perfect answer, I don’t think a perfect one actually exists, but it plugs most of the biggest holes we have right now

NattyNatty2x4 ,

Twitter made 4.5 billion in revenue, not profit. They likely weren’t making profit yet, but either way we’re still not privy to the company’s exact profit before or after Musk’s takeover, and therefore aren’t privy to how much this charge would affect their margins.

Personally I think it’s yet another attempt to intentionally dismantle the company.

If Musk wanted to dismantle Twitter he’d just shut it down. He owns the thing, he doesn’t need a secret plan to fuck it up he can just do it. He’s just flailing around trying to patch the holes in his $44 billion fuck up and leaning into his alt-right image of it
