  • Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.

    I personally try to avoid looking at ‘raw’ ratings when I’m trying to find new media.
    Full reviews are better, because they’re able to express more nuance, and I’m able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.

    Sure. Lets just ignore ladybird/serenity and the positive impact Andreas is making because he didn’t accept a commit that changed a pronoun for a system account on the operating system he wrote from a ‘he’ to a ‘they’.

    And lets ignore that it’s been changed since. People ‘never’ change, so lets fuck up their entire career and public image for life.

    Yeah no thanks.

    If you think that comment outweighs all the positive impacts Andreas is making, that’s your prerogative. I’m not interested in holding everyone up to such high expectations.

    If that makes me a simp in your eyes, so be it.

    If you read the commit, you would see it was referring to a built-in non-human account.
    In no way did he assume the gender of any people, so who cares if he referred to a built-in account of his operaring system as ‘he’ instead of ‘they’?
    A more accurate description would have been ‘it’.

    As somebody who also identifies as LGBT, I don’t want or need your permission to feel anything.
    I don’t feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.

    The guy literally created javascript. It shouldn’t be a surprise that somebody who’s developing a web browser holds some amount of respect for him.

    We could argue about this all day, but neither of us are Andreas, so we shouldn’t be assuming his beliefs based on a few interactions on social media.

    None of this should get in the way of the web browser’s success anyway, because it’s not relevant to the project.

    The proton CEO praised Donald Trump’s choice for who would lead the government’s antitrust division, and now most of Lemmy think they’re a Nazi company or something.

    Just typical cancel culture bullshit. Where people choose to be outraged rather than attempting to understand a situation.




  • Zelenskyy was only interested in allowing the US to take their ‘rare earth’ if the US was also going to guarantee that it would help their defense against Russia’s advancements.

    Trump claimed the deal had already been made, and tried to make the conference about how great he is and how bad the previous presidents were.

    He praised questions that verbally sucked him off, and belittled those who asked genuine questions about the deal.

    Then the two Americans bombarded Zelenskyy with questions and refused to allow him to answer.
    They talked over him and got upset at him for not sucking their cocks the whole conference.

    Zelenskyy was sent out because the babies in the Whitehouse couldn’t handle somebody who didn’t kiss their feet. He didn’t disagree with the deal, he just wanted more clarification and this was taken as a personal attack.

    The world does not respect Trump or the US. We laugh at their incompetence and look forward to their ego getting checked.

    This whole press conference made the US look like half-assed war profiteers, rather than the ‘freedom fighters’ they like to roleplay as.






  • Ah, gotcha.
    Just researched a bit and noticed it’s an official term used by the UN.

    It just sounds a little weird, as somebody from a southern nation that this doesn’t seem to apply to.

    China is also in the northern hemisphere, so it also seems strange that it’s called ‘global south’.

    Something like ‘low economic’ would have made a lot more sense to me, but I guess ‘global south’ is the official term.
