Because even his idiotic voters wouldn’t intentionally drive up their power bill. Well, some might, but most wouldn’t. But if it’s harder for consumers to make that informed choice his friends in industry can flood the American market with inefficient crap and his voters will probably blame Biden or immigrants or Jewish space lasers for their increased power bill.

Prinzipiell ja, aber die grundlegende und trotzdem sozialverträgliche Überarbeitung des Rentensystems die wir brauchen kommt mit dieser Koalition sowieso nicht. Kein Fortschritt ist immerhin besser als aktiver Rückschritt.

Rechtsruck-Schreckgespenster aufzumalen während .ml ganz offen rechtsradikale Diktatoren verteidigt (und bei Gegenrede sofort Banns verteilt) und einer der Entwickler und Admins öffentlich transphobische Statements absondert finde ich irgendwie etwas seltsam.

You might think that’s no excuse but I’m not fucking with anything running on mains electricity. Thanks, but I like living and not setting the house on fire.

It’s not delusional if he doesn’t believe that. It’s just a fucking lie because he’s a Nazi trying to defend other Nazis.

That’s just how you eat rice with chopsticks? How else are you supposed to do it without making a giant mess?

Nice victim-blaming, creep.

A ladder. If it’s famous there’s bound to be a good chunk of change down there.

Do you also turn off autocorrect? As for why I’m not proofreading my entries? I am. But typos happen. Try to put yourself into the shoes of the average office drone or consumer just using a PC as a tool. I’m pretty sure I’ve harped on this before, but most people aren’t experts or enthusiasts, they just want a working computer that’s as simple to use as possible. The benefits of a case sensitive-file system are far outweighed by how susceptible it is to user error.

Situationsabhängig. Das Grundgesetz erlaubt bewaffneten Widerstand explizit, wenn es keine anderen gangbaren Wege gibt um die Demokratie wiederherzustellen. Da sind wir im Moment natürlich (noch) nicht, und jede Situation in der Molotowcocktails gerechtfertigt sind, ist eine Situation von der man Kinder fernhalten sollte, von da her auf jeden Fall schlechtes Parenting von Connis Mama.

I’ve used Linux, yes. And I’m not “crying” I just find it annoying. Good grief.

you should have not written them differently.

But you did.

Remember that 99% of the time that’s gonna be because of a typo for 99% users. They won’t have File.txt, FILE.TXT and FiLe.tXt, they’ll have ReportMay.docx and REportMay.docx or whatever.

And yeah, that includes me. I don’t want case-sensitivity for that reason alone. Thanks, but no thanks.

By that standard racism isn’t a thing at all. Biologically there are no human races.

Comment chains like this really highlight that the Lemmy userbase heavy skews towards a tech savvy crowd that enjoys tinkering with stuff. And that this userbase is really out of touch with “normal” people who aren’t particularly tech savvy and who want things that Just Work™. Having to set up a whole system just isn’t an alternative to a Fire Stick to >90% of people.

Kids picking family farms is not “child labor.”

Yes it fucking is. What the hell. What else would it be? The fact that it’s the parents directly exploiting their children does not make it better.

And penicillin. I’ll gladly take the microplastics and credit scores if that’s the price to pay.

They almost certainly expected it. That’s why they’ve tried to cosy up to him, to get exemptions for their businesses.

Being attacked by a cat is annoying, not potentially lethal. Also cats don’t usually attack without reason. If a cat keeps attacking for “no reason” that’s learned behaviour. Their instinct is to run away from humans, which is what wild and feral cats do unless cornered.

Ah, yes. The Uyghur genocide: famously free of genocide.

not that difficult to be better than slavery, genocide, war and colonialism

Apparently it is, because other than constant wars China does all of those things.
