Personally, I don't think a service is in the wrong for trying to protect against ad block, especially when their revenue comes from ads. However I also don't think there's anything wrong with adblockers continuing to innovate to circumvent that. I'm rooting for Ublock Origin lol
I keep hearing people recommend signal messenger as an alternative to discord, and honestly that's the most obvious sign you don't actually use discord
The fact of the matter is, in many places (I'm thinking of America mainly) using a car is far more convenient, if not the only option, and that's the problem
I don't run Linux (though I'm admittedly more interested in it than I used to be) but the reddit API stuff definitely made me learn more about foss, and value it more.
When I actually talk with Trump supporters, it's very clear to me that many don't actually support trump. Or, at least, not the trump we see. It's usually a case of leading a busy life and making the mistake of trusting a news org to tell you the truth of the matter when you have five minutes to catch up. And if you pick one that supports trump ...well you see where this goes. It is admittedly clear that people don't understand the gravity of the situation—but as a result, the 'crime' is usually ignorance, not maliciousness. As always, the fact that this is a 'political' topic muddies the water, and no one understands what the other side actually wants. We do agree on most things, it's just silly tribalism that makes us call a large portion of the population a "piece of shit".
There are always those outliers that are genuinely evil, but I do believe they're outliers.
Odd, I was pretty happy when I got the update. I always thought it was odd that servers and PMs were mixed somewhat in the UI, and hard to distinguish between.
People just don't like things being different than they were ig.
Or is there another change I didn't notice that had people bothered?
As someone who's had bedbugs multiple times... Yes it's very much worth throwing away your entire wardrobe if you have to. Do everything you can to prevent getting them.
Slowly and slowly, it feels like parents are having less and less responsibility—and therefore control—over their children's lives. Information is not a problem—if there's something the parent doesn't want the kid to see it up to them to enforce that, not the government.
Re-Logic have always been my favorite group of devs in the industry. This is yet another item to add to my long list of reasons for that.
Putting their money where their mouth is.
AAA companies: Makes bad game and releases apology promising to make good games now
Also AAA companies: We are not capable of making good games, stop expecting to much.
I think an important thing to note is that he is right in pointing out that his channel was always for people that can move, explaining why you would want to and why he did. The problem is, you finish doing that at some point, and it trails off into "let's complain about cars". There was a video that stuck out to me, where his tone was very harsh and unwelcoming to those who might disagree with him. In the comments, he said something along the lines of "If you find "my tone too harsh" don't watch the videos or deal with it" although I think with more curse words, I don't remember exactly.
I think that's a horrible perspective that he's moved into. As a rather progressive person, including in this topic of conversation, his older videos were a well-measured perspective that I could send to my (rather conservative) family in hopes that they'd understand where he (and I) was coming from. Now, as much as I want to say I like his content and am a fan just because I usually agree with him, he sounds more like a bitter old man complaining in a way that's not going to do anything other than make people who already agree with him feel good, certainly not bring people who don't over to his side or help them understand his perspective. It's all very disappointing.
As far as whether it's "possible" to "fix" North America... I don't think it matters all that much as far as affecting our actions. Whether the things we're doing take hold in 10 years, or 60, or 100, we should start and continue as soon as possible. Being cynical about it, while maybe not being wrong, I don't know, just seems... useless.
Wait, I've been out of the loop for a bit; is Trump actually saying that he should be immune to charges because he was the president??? How in the world could he think that would work?
