I don’t care if the robot that speaks English read the entire library.

How else was it going to happen?

Oh, Steven Moffat, no.

Situation: there are 14 competing editors.

That is not what Firefox has done.

Why would you not just… use it? You have hospitals, they use this stuff. Reduce how much they’ll need to buy in the near future by dumping a few crates of whatever in their loading bays.

… by submitting queries to another website that only does what’s ruining search engines.

I would still be using 7 if ransomware wasn’t a thing.

I went back to Mint instead.

You pay how much to be told no?

Windows 9x was low-bullshit.

NT and 2000 were corporate enough to be no-nonsense. They belonged to the administrator, but the administrator can be you.

ME was a mistake.

XP was not yet online enough to be properly skeezy.

But from Vista onward, yeah, it’s been an escalating shit-show that’s difficult to miss.

Java is an okay format owned by the devil. When two devices running Java connect via wifi, One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison expects the air in-between them to be properly licensed. If the free software movement had not been founded to say “fuck printers,” it would have sprung into being in order to say “fuck Oracle.”

If businesses spring up to advise customers how to handle your billing and legal departments, maybe you shouldn’t be a company anymore.

Alternately: yellow-and-black ASCII approximating Evangelion’s ALART.

“AI is whatever hasn’t been done yet.”

See Flash websites ripping each other off for five years on either side of Youtube’s introduction.

See Bittorrent moving more video than Netflix until like 2012.

See twenty years of web-based P2P experiments. Weirdos with fat hard drives (hi) will always be happy to seed.

Or - crazy thought - services could cost money. It would not take much. Youtube’s not getting ten bucks each time you watch a video. Bandwidth and storage keep getting cheaper. Nor are they paying for content, unlike Netflix and so on, and those fuckers are also considering ads.

Advertising is poison.

We could just ban it.

‘I am too a leftie lefting leftist! LOL any actual leftism.’

You are not self-aware.

Yes I have argued with loads. I actually have a degree in economics but none of them want to understand basic economic theory.

I genuinely laughed out loud. You’re a fucking cartoon. You have no goddamn idea what you look like from outside your own head.

May we never speak again.

The bare fucking basics of leftism should be far more well-known to you lot than to us - yet here you are still pretending conservatives anywhere give a flying fuck about their stated ideals. Have you literally never seen an actual socialist discuss politics? On Lemmy?

The biggest issue for the common working man (left views) is lowering immigration.

Populism equals leftism, apparently. That’s never gone wrong in Europe.

The best thing for business and land owners is raising immigration.

That’s why right-wing parties want open borders, yeah? Oh no wait they’re demonizing minorities because fuck you why am I humoring this. You’re dumb enough to believe the promises of diet Nazis and wish them well.

Dismissing cartoonish bullshit like ‘the left restricts labor while the right just loves FREEDOM!’ is not closed-mindedness.

Economically left and low immigration has historically gone hand in hand.

My fat ass.

Every single post you’ve made here is bog-standard right-wing rhetoric. Fuck off with it. Your perspective consistently and loudly sounds like any conservative prick making up what they think the left criticizing the left would sound like, because they don’t fucking listen. A mouthful of the most generic attacks on how they’re “mental!” “gone mad!” “lost their minds!” with zero specifics and no fucking philosophy. Christ alive, do you know how hard it is to stop actual left-wing bitching from devolving into a sermon on theory?

Yeah, you have no idea how obvious you are. Good day.

Why would anyone put effort into spoon-feeding you your own claimed philosophy, when the root comment is generic whining that “the left has completely lost their mind?” Your sole bugbear is immigration (a stereotypical right-wing fixation) and all you’ve done is mumble about “more,” until it’s “enough.”

You don’t even know what valid criticism looks like.

Oh, sorry, you do eventually blame immigrants for housing and wages. Because scapegoating brown people is totes mcgoats the leftist approach to problems with capital.

I am calling horseshit on you being “a leftie.”

I’m sorry it wasn’t blunt enough the first time.

‘I’d always support [blank], but now they’ve nonspecifically gone too far! so I’m voting for the complete opposite’ is fascist propaganda. What’s it doing in your mouth, comrade?
