Then we shouldn't call them JRPGs.

You didn't give an example of shit. I asked for an example of how boys' rights are being treated and you come up with some wussy nonsense about recess. Give me a break. No one has a "right" to recess, even if your complaints about it were true, which they aren't.

Your ideology is a fragile, weak joke. It's pathetic that the right thinks they own masculinity and strength while acting like a bunch of whiny wimps.

The carriers refused to do it one their own so Google had to provide the servers themselves. Apple could do the same, but we all know they won't and never will. If it wasn't this excuse it would be another one.

I mean even Solaris and the BSDs are just different flavors of Unix

I'm confused, do you actually believe that Democrats are not beholden to big money?

Man, I hope the EU pulls the trigger on Google. They are way, way overdue for getting broken up. It's insane how easily they can change the entire internet on a whim with zero oversight. The Biden admin will never do it.

Never seen it work? These faang people are totally delusional. Google keeps putting off their third party cookie retirement exactly because of outcries like this.

She's abusing her office to make money, to me the distinction is only in degrees of criminality. These justices are acting like they're above the law because they basically are, which is unacceptable. Judges in general have way too much power.

If a regular federal employee or contractor did something similar they'd lose their job and probably go to prison. A janitor at the FBI is held to a higher standard then supreme court justices are.

Yeah I'm so sick of hearing about the Green Party. Yes they suck, but we have data on who green voters are, and only about 30% of them said they would vote for a Democrat if there was no green candidate.

It's a convenient excuse for establishment Democrats to avoid taking responsibility for their losses, but doesn't hold up to any level of scrutiny. Their biggest issue is consistently failing to motivate their own base. Obama understood that Democratic voters respond well to positive campaign strategies while Clinton and Biden cling to 90s triangulation strategies. Which didn't even work back then they just got lucky that Ross Perot existed.

Green Party voters vote against the system. You can't blame losses on them because the vast majority would simply sit the election out instead of voting for a Dem.

It looks like a j tho?

Ngl that's kind of a shocking oversight given the nature of the internet

My girlfriend noped out of lemmy pretty much immediately after I tried to explain how to set it up and use it. Objectively, it's a lot more confusing than signing up for something like reddit. She's also pretty tech savvy, so I can't imagine normies making the transition in mass.

If these federated alternatives are going to become mainstream, someone will have to step up with an implementation that greatly improves usability and accessibility. Meaning that federation will probably have to be masked to a large degree to reduce confusion. Maybe something more like a distributed network instead of a federated one.

As soon as you start talking techbro nonsense like federation and decentralization, people's eyes glaze over. People don't care how things work, they just care that it does what they need it to.

Hate to say it but a lot of us in tech, especially the devs, are really out of touch with end users. They aren't philosophizing about the internet. I understand why people are excited about the idea of decentralization, and why it matters, but it has to be presented in a way that's much simpler for people to understand if we actually went people to get on board.
