I think they're commenting on all the people who thought it was amazing because they'd mostly been exposed to Marvel movies.

He bought it so he's the only shareholder. It's not publicly traded anymore.

Here Are All the Democrats Who Voted for the “Anti-Zionism Is Antisemitism” Bill
This is ridiculous, the first anti zionists were all Jewish. Some were even assassinated for their views. Zionism should not be conflated with Jewishness at all.

If you really thought this, it'd be company policy and the employee wouldn't have to ask. Faked for engagement?
Who knows what their intentions are, but they're still spreading a good message. And to be fair there is a difference between a fairly lax work from home policy and wanting to work from home permanently. It could also just be a smaller company where they don't really have official policies for things that haven't come up yet.

Sheep aren't hurt in removing their wool.
Disclaimer: I'm vegan, btw.
I hate things like this because I feel like they misrepresent the issue. Yes, I'm sure there's some morons out there that think you have to kill the sheep, but that's not what the vast majority of vegans think. Also it's great if this person is treating their animals well but that's absolutely not the case for the vast majority of commercial wool farms where practices like un-anaesthetised tail docking, mulesing and castration are common. And given the sheerers have quotas to make the sheep are often handled roughly and injured and when they get older and the wool quality deteriorates they're still sent off to a slaughter house all the same.
Sure there's some tiny farms out there that take good care of their animals and practice ethically and I'm all for it, but videos like this give a really skewed look at the problem by misrepresenting the complaints vegans have and also the practices on an industry scale.
Peace.

I didn't do that, I just communicated why I thought the video misrepresented the issue.

I don't understand how they lost against Apple but won against Google - which actually does allow you to download alternative app stores.

UK workers ‘should get day off’ if workplace is hotter than 30C
Reply in thread
I feel like you're just having imaginary arguments in your head with people who don't exist. This is a net win for everyone because it means less people suffering in extreme conditions and it also puts pressure on companies and people with money to slow climate change.
Maybe there's some weird people out there who want others to suffer but I doubt that's anywhere near representative of climate activists.

I don't understand free speech absolutists. You don't think that maybe calling for all Palestinians to be killed is maybe a bit genocidal and should perhaps be discouraged on a social media platform?
Mind you this isn't a law and wouldn't lead to any actual limiting of liberties, it just means we discourage genocide on social media. Something that seems pretty reasonable to me, and I think any large enough platform should probably feel some obligation to do.

Kernel 6.6.6 is out 😈
Reply in thread
I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn't realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.
I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I'd done wrong 😂.
Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.

Steam's regional price hikes of up to 4298% could spur exodus from Argentina and Turkey gamers
Reply in thread
It sounds like the change was motivated more by the instability of those currencies, the price increases may just be a temporary thing until developers update their prices. At least that's what I'm hoping.

I read something about him not being honest with the board, or keeping things from them? Didn't see any elaboration, though.

I tip less often than the average American because I'm from Australia. Also tipping is dehumanising, no one should have to dance for their supper.
