Good! States need to follow suit.

Emoji might be the right choice there. Sometimes I'll just send back 🀷 or a gif in text messages or quicker formats but for something like Lemmy or Mastodon, I think a more effortful reply is desired since the point of those services is the conversation.

Yeah, thinking about it, I don't I meant bullying but more or less an attack. Which is it, but a justified one.

Absolutely, and it isn't to say I never use emoji/emoticons but I don't on social media that much. You can convey emotion and vibe with a bit of nuanced typing. This is likely lost on some folks but others seem to be tuned to it, almost like body language. Grammarly actually has a tone mapper built in to tell you what sort of tone you are sending out.

To me, it reads as both. It tries to control it but regardless it flips upside down and no one moves in the same direction.

I feel like emoticons are in some ways cheating at using words and thus it shows a lack of effort put into your communication. I use them mostly in quicker format messaging like Discord. I don't blame anyone for using a 🀷 or such but I'd like to try to be more eloquent.

I'm not blaming any Linux users for that. I'm saying this is the trade-offs of Linux and they are unacceptable to most people.

[–] MJBrune@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, basically. Which raises a question: how companies with much smaller market share can justify providing support, but Nvidia, a company that dominates the GPU market, can’t?

I feel like it's the opposite as Nvidia provides a lot of Linux support by providing an open source kernel module (https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) while AMD gets proprietary blobs into the Linux kernel ( https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/configure-2d-and-3d-graphics-acceleration). How come Linux is supporting AMD more than Nvidia currently?

My point is every large piece of tech is flawed and you have to find what you can work with. My original comment (not post, btw) isn't bullshit and if you want to insult people, go to a different instance. This is beehaw, Be nice. I'm not going to carry on a conversation with you calling names and acting clearly in bad faith. If you don't like my opinion, don't engage but I am able to have a my reasonable opinion about software.

Yeah, that gave me a good bit to think about. I came to the conclusion that what James should do is on a video by video basis, ask the creators he stole from if they want his video back up with all the proceeds going to them and with credit given in whatever way they would like. Essentially giving his fan base a path back to the original creators. For his patreon, it should be fully deleted, perhaps with just a note that attempts to get those who subbed back to the original creators as well.

Of course not, it's insane to think I don't place blame on him. To be clear, I do and his actions aren't excusable by any means. While you are right, 330k subs is not a little amount but it's about scales of community management. Maybe that's somewhat the goal though. The community that is pointing out the flaws needs to be larger than the community defending them. Perhaps that's exactly what needed to happened as people have pointed out that other smaller youtubers tried to create issues and James was very much lambasting them and undermining their message.
