PeriodicallyPedantic,

If you think FOSS can solve capitalism’s issues, you either don’t know what FOSS is or you don’t know what capitalism’s problems are.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Free Open Source Software. Do you even know what capitalism is?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I thought a brown cow was Kahlua and milk

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Uhhhhh Can you give me the tldr? I don’t wanna click that link and disappoint the NSA agent who watches my traffic start getting wierd adverts

PeriodicallyPedantic,

There is no slash through it. This sign is “bowling ahead”

PeriodicallyPedantic, (edited )

I think you mean https://youtu.be/uSlB4eznXoA?si=vVo6WJQPPyiEIEW5&t=26s

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Yes really.

I absolutely agree with you about grocery, energy, and fuel companies being evil. But most companies aren’t grocery, energy, or fuel companies.

That said, I still hate capitalism. But for the purposes of this discussion, landlords are listed among the worst because they’re part of the select few who withhold basic human necessities over profit.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

910 PICKLES!?!?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Free speech already isn’t absolute. Free speech isn’t about words, it’s about expression of opinions. And it’s illegal to express some opinions in some ways. For example you can’t discriminate based on race when you hire employees.

We’re already willing to draw a line, and the world hasn’t gone to hell.

I actually live in Canada, where we have Hate Speech laws (like exist in many countries), where speech that is significantly harmful to marginalized communities is considered illegal. Despite what the Flu Trucks Clan ironically claim, they’re not being censored.

The line isn’t gonna slide one way out of control and nobody can stop it, the line is drawn where the people of the country largely think it should be. In some non-secular countries, the line is drawn very far and I think it’s gross. In other countries like the USA I think the line hasn’t been drawn far enough and people are put in needless harm.

Besides, were talking about Lemmy here, not laws for which you can be thrown in jail.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I disagree. Saying certain things are hate crimes, and shouldn’t be allowed. Like burning crosses, etc.

Deciding where to draw the line is difficult and subjective, but that doesn’t mean that it’s best to have no line.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Being tolerant of the intolerant will eventually mean destroying the tolerant.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

That was pretty much exactly the case here, afaict.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

You’re confusing words with other things that have nothing to do with words.

Free speech is freedom of expression. Expression extends beyond words. If all you protect is words, then you’re not protecting much. But if you allow any expression, then bad things happen.

Wow, you put a lot of words in my mouth, ostensibly to give yourself something to fight me about. It’s too bad I never said any of that stuff, and super suspicious that you completely ignored what I did say about the flu trucks Clan. Almost like you’re trying to peddle a narrative 🤔

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I know that they’re going to have it their way, or nothing at all…

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Adding enough butter, sugar, salt, etc is easy, and makes it unhealthy. Making it taste good without lots of butter, sugar, salt is hard.

That’s kind of my entire point

PeriodicallyPedantic,

My issue isn’t with adding electric to a gas car. My issue is adding gas to an electric car.

The ICE drive train adds a TON of complexity to an EV. If you’re gonna add ICE to an EV I think that it makes more sense to have a little range-extender generator, which is simple and cheap (because it only needs to run at a single RPM and constant load) which you can just run to add a bit more charge to your battery on long road trips.

But ideally we’d just have better charging infrastructure.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I still game a fair bit, and although gaming on Linux has come a long way, I unfortunately still find its not where I want it to be, yet.

Hoping that the popularity of the Steam deck fixes that, although idk if AAA games are really targeting it

PeriodicallyPedantic,

It’s not that I don’t believe Zuck would do that. It’s that I don’t believe that Musk wouldn’t come up with something just as depraved.
