Faydaikin, to chat in How much does a creator's worldview influence whether you use their tech or consume their media?

I’m not really up to date on JKR to be honest. It was mostly an example of someone who was asked her opinion, gave it and it pissed people off enough for it to become an issue.

There’s a reason we shouldn’t look to celebrities for answers or anything other than the entertainment they supply.

It depends. People are allowed to have their own opinions as far as I’m concerned.

If their products are good, I see no reason why I shouldn’t use them. Even if I don’t agree with said opinion.

However, if they are actively making the world a shittier place for others, then I start to have a problem with them.

Like JKR not being pro-trans is just her opinion. And as far as I know, she hasn’t gone on a crusade against anyone yet.

But Blizzard encouraging the sexual harrasment of it’s female employees is a totally different beast. And I didnt feel right keeping supporting them.

But it’s a line everyone has to figure out for themselves.

Seeing my city at the top just kinda makes me sad. Not that it’s not a nice place to live, but it does make me worry about everywhere else.

So… like everywhere else on the internet?

I guess “Use your stupid” can be applied the same way “Use your smarts” is.

Like if ‘Your Smarts’ refers to rationale or deductive skills, ‘Your Stupid’ could refer to the lack thereof.

Glad to hear it. Take care of yourself

I can only hope you’re being cautious.

I was kinda in same situation a while back. Sticking around only hightened my feeling towards her and in turn only ended up breaking my own heart that much harder.

Hard to say. I doubt it though.

As insincere/foolish as our politicians can be, they do seem to take that part somewhat serious.

Like, Scientology isn’t recognized as a religion and such. The list of religions outside of the abrahamic ones is surprisingly short.

Don’t forget about Plasma! You’ll get to 50, as well, in no time. ;)

Faydaikin, to memes in Is it because of me?
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

The old landlines had a ton of smart features. It’s just that very few of us knew about them and thus they went unused.

I think the scary part stems from looking at ourselves. We’re well on our way “out there” but still kill each other in the cruellest ways. Our sadistic qualities only limited by our means to perpetrate them.

Hawkins shared his thoughts on this subject and, although less morbid, still quite scary.

You could just say ‘American.’

It’s only ‘Cops’ when it’s inland, they call it ‘Military’ when they impose outside their own borders.

But it’s all the same in the end.

If Israel keeps this shit up it’ll be an apt enough reference eventually.

Faydaikin, to piracy in Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Most people do. But it’s not enough.

Even if all their users payed, it wouldn’t be enough.

@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

I’ll make a wild assumption and say that the people that made the adblockers might also be using them.
