Give the dude his cupcake recipe yo

A far shorter list would be the few that are not vulnerable

Sometimes I really don’t know if these posts are serious.

You aren’t going to get drone striked. There isn’t going to be a civil war.

Chill yo

Lol

Let’s say both then. Both the US and China are surveillance states, and that makes them both bad.

Btw just so you are aware, there is some underlying animosity toward people who defend China here. Usually people who defend China are just trying to deflect and try to say things like “BUT America does bad things!” While trying to make it seem like that somehow absolves China of genocide and mass surveillance.

The hard part for those people to grasp is that Americans are usually happy to say yes, America sucks. Any country that engages in those actions sucks. Diehard tankies on the other hand are incapable of seeing flaws in China/Russia/whatever country they feel the need to defend.

Could you clarify what you mean by snake oil?

When you say “believe in Android” what do you mean?

Is genocide denial not racism?

Yeah honestly let’s make an example out of that horse

Defederating sends a message that the world doesn’t like tankie bullshit

Exactly. Why are we federated with people who deny genocides? Fuck all of that

I’m all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.

Arguably, the average person will not care. My mom will probably buy one because, and I quote, “Your phone takes good pictures!”

Benchmark tests don’t matter to normal people

Couldn’t they just use cloudflare or something?

Hey! So you may have noticed that you got downvoted into oblivion here. It is because of the unnecessary amount of negativity in your comment.

In communication, there are two parts - how it is delivered, and how it is received. In this interaction, you clearly stated your point: giving yourself the title of pro oftentimes means the person is not a pro.

What they received, however, is far different. They received: ugh this sweaty asshole is gatekeeping coding.

If your goal was to convince this person not to call themselves a pro going forward, this may have been a failed communication event.

I love how delusional people here are.

Joking lol but serious that it will never happen. Windows has waaay too much of a monopoly for that to never happen.

Like wtf, am I supposed to tell my mom to use the terminal to download ms word? Oh wait sorry you can use libre office! It’s the same but… Well it looks different. And isn’t as functional.

I’ll tell my mom that

The Fedi is good and all but just … Fucking brace yourself lol

Funny! But like Palatine isn’t actively trying to end the voting system so am going to vote for him for the sake of the future

I think for people who have had long distance relationships it kinda is. Like I would say something like that to my ex, but we both knew it was impossible. Sort of a dark humor but you do what you have to do in those situations
