Reminds me of people that can look past concentration camps, murders carried out by ice, blatant corruption, bombing schools, and genocide but they draw the line at having to pay 2$ more for gas

It's incredibly ironic that China used to have really really bad EVs so they let other brands (mostly Tesla at the time) enter their formerly closed markets to boost competition, low and behold, it worked so well the US has now blocked them because the US is afraid of competition.

I wouldn't mind more competition but there's literally no reason to use egs over valve.

An example is instead of having a better review system than steam's basic good or bad they could of had a good, maybe, bad then had separate reviews for reviewing specific patches or something. But no the CEO said reviews are bad for devs LOL.

On top of that he's been vocal about being anti Linux and is full of garbage hot takes. And it really says a lot when he lays off staff that are part for Fortnite's $1.1 billion made

This is absurd, and it's so vague on what is and is not "anti-scientific reasoning patterns" lmao how do you expect a non vegan mod (or any mod) to enforce that. If an account is repeatly harassing vegans about all the dead animals they eat maybe that's bannable?

An example of something that might be considered "anti-scientific reasoning patterns" I've already talked about on my Lemmy account is I don't exactly trust the corpos behind some vaccines. Am I vaccinated? Yes. Do I believe in vaccine science? Also yes.

If someone brings up of how much better they feel after going off vegan diet and switching to fish/seafood once a week, does that count as "anti-scientific reasoning patterns" in your book? Is it just up to whatever mod decides what is truth at the time?

And I'd like to be clear, I personally I think the meat and dairy industrial complex is one of the great atrocities of our time. Policing what meat eaters say won't turn them vegan

Pretty obvious he's saying things like this to get more attention. He knows how to get people to clip and spread his content, and people keep feeding the troll.

One of the lines in the sand for me is when people are unironically pro North Korea. I don't want that on my feed.

And to a lesser extent I don't want to see weird tankie bootlicking of China either. And I'm not talking about legit good things China has done when compared to other superpowers, I'm talking weird posts that read like full propaganda state sponsored bs, and if you disagree with them in any way they will dig through your intire account history to try and find something they can use instead of actually having a discussion about the topic you originally disagreed with.

Authoritarians don't want open discussion they will just link you half a shitty book explaining how there's actually no such thing as authoritarianism.

Edit: I'd like to add that searching lemmygrad for Ukraine will show some really awful takes. I want freedom for Ukraine same as Palestine, Tebet, Hong kong, el Salvador, ect just because the main empire in the west is on the fascism side of authoritarianism doesn't mean I will cozy up to other authoritarians.

What about on the top of buildings? Over parking lots ect? Any time you shade a black top it really helps with heat soak

This is a bad take lol. You can be charged with manslaughter if it's an accident and murder if you were trying to kill someone with your car.

Blatantly wrong takes like this just increase the cognitive dissonance between the anti car movement and everyone else.

I'd agree with that to an extent but it's far far more the fault of the oligarchy that are doing things regardless if they are getting money from it or not. There's a longer term push to monopolize compute in general and they have the chip making companies going along with it

He explained they will be selling as a kit not a complete car. most states have a 'kit car' registration option for things like custom tube chassis cars. Would a dealership be able to sell them new and fully built? Almost certainly not.

I'm generally pro vaccine. But I can understand why people don't trust the private pharma companies in the US. They have traded trust for profit. Just another reason medicine shouldn't be controlled by the profiteering ultra rich.

An epidemic preventing vaccine should be open to anyone that wants to use and copy it with the highest level of testing and oversight. Instead you have private companies making more money than god that will cut every corner if they think they can get away with it.

The whole no fruty flavors has always seemed an out of touch rule. Kids using any addictive substances is not good, but a few decades ago it was commonplace for kids to be cought smoking analog cigs. Ecigs are safer and have gotten more people to quit than just about anything, but they are also easier for a non smoker to get into. I think the problem is with how kids are getting access to them (from shady illegal online dealers mostly).

That said before big tobacco got involved the older style nicotine isolate vapes were much better at actually getting people to quit smoking. They don't give the same level of instant nicotine high you can get from the modern salt nicotine and if you are trying to ween off of nicotine they lessen or remove the cravings. It also helped they weren't cool, my favorite world I've heard people call them was 'mouth fedora'

Good, the sooner this nonsense is ended the better. Good that Iran is getting money to rebuild. If only all the oligarchic and corpo backers were charged for the rebuild not broke US tax payers.

I swear half of the neo liberal talking points right now are trying to talking like trump pulling out is a bad thing. The whole war is bad and it would still be bad if we won in my opinion it would be worse if we won. I'd rather the US be a bit poorer than win and destroy another country.

Imagine releasing a movie in 2026 where writers have control of the writing. Also the set design is amazing, they really did a lot of work to keep CGI use to a minimum and when they did use CGI it was well done. I've been a long time fan of the book and I'm glad to see an adaption so well done

This is all a result of the absurdly idiotic chicken tax + American automobile companies refusing to build small trucks

They are authoritarian left and even though Russia is not a leftist country they will refuse to say a single thing bad about Russia, China, and some will even say nothing is wrong with north Korea. If you search the instance for 'Ukraine' you will see them saying Russia is the good guy in the Ukrainian war. They will say things like authoritarianism doesn't actually exist. I legitimately wonder how many posts are state sponsored lol. There are a lot of them on lemmy.ml as well

If only matrix was as usable as discord I'm sure a lot of people would

It really depends on how many bugs their are. But I'd expect it in a couple of months at the most

I rember in the US police had an event where in an effort that has had some success getting guns off the street is they were paying $200 per gun you turned in, including ghost guns no questions asked. Some legend heard about the event and quickly made quite a few working guns out of 2"x4"s, metal plumbing pipe, and a nail. He only used basic tools like a drill and angle grinder from what I remember. The police had to pay him too, but I think they changed the rules after

One problem the left especially the global left outside the US has when they talk about gun control they flat out do not understand how things work when so many people want something as much as people want guns in the US. Also how hard it would be to actually change the constitution. They were not able to stop people smoking weed or drinking alcohol either. It's going to have to be a major societal shift. I think there's a good chance we will see that in the next 50 years.

I support gun control wherever it's shown to actually work but a lot laws are being pushed by either someone with an alternative motive like the 3D printer laws, or have actually no clue and just want to put another law that sounds good to

The 3D printer laws are really a micro manufacturing and surveillance law that appears to be being pushed by a billionaire and a company in bed with palantir. It could kill open source 3d printers that are the only reason we have 3d printers in the first place. The guns people make with 3D printers require major components from actual guns that you can leagly buy because the parts are not considered a gun.

I've done full manual installs and archinstall installs of mainline arch and I would argue endevouros is arch. It's more than just "arch based" it's literally a basic arch install with calamaris. It updates from official arch repos and arch kernal ect.

While I only tell people I use endevouros I do not understand why anyone cares if an endevouros user says they use arch lol. What is the difference between that and something like archinstall besides slightly easier btrfs configs?

I'd consider CatchyOS to be in the arch based category but not EndevourOS
