A bit more plausible deniability

Saying that out loud would be quite dmging for a company with predominantly Windows user base.

Ouch, someone got roasted!

Happy to share something new :)

Israel is not part of NATO, this is factually wrong.

I’m referring to Israel.

Chromium is open source

Chrome is not.

Lemmy.today is one of the most drama-free instances.

Just go and explore whatever of Lemmy you want.

As an ex-dbzero, it’s a solid choice!

The last time it militarily intervened in claiming foreign land for an allied country despite the objection of nearly the entire world is right now.

That’s not to mention an enormous amount of coups and military interventions throughout the last decades. US has sewn more chaos globally than any other country in the history of the world - all in its own interest, of course.

Here, opinions may vary, but that’s outside the scope.

If you want my personal opinions, I would reverse the numbers. China is spreading authoritarian power and commits human rights violations primarily within its own confines and in some nearby regions like South China Sea, USA does it globally. Both are not great, though, and commonly I try to treat them with the same measuring stick.

Sure, but here it’s pretty much about the trade war between the two.

Neither side is just, and so seeing it as “China bad” is not a neutral outlook.

In the US-centric environment, standing up for neutrality is easy to confuse with standing up for China.

“Whataboutism” is a term used to feel righteous while completely ignoring your bias.

Admitting both contries are bad and then taking a clear stance between them is hypocritical at best.

Not really.

Dems are primarily sponsored by the rich and have to align with their interests. Out of two major US political parties, neither one is the party of the people.

I respect the American people, their modern advancements in science and technology, their industry, their customs, and their rich history and culture.

I do not respect a hostile dictatorship of corporate overlords that rules over them all, and if they were smart they would not, either.

Every media is physical. The question is, where is it located.

A properly backed up and sorted digital collection is superior to a bunch of disks laying around, at least if we don’t consider the pleasure and pride some collectors take in having exactly the latter. But when we allow this data to be stored in a place we don’t own, real and serious problems arise.

Are you paid to advertise?

Well, it is censorship.

People just wake up to a realization that some censorship should exist, and it makes many uncomfortable.

Other than that, don’t be tolerant of the intolerant, and you’ll be fine.

Second that. I consider myself an experienced user by general standards, but I still have certain issues wrapping my head around Docker/Podman.

We cannot expect everyday users to use containers with ease.

That’s what happens with DRM and digital licensing, which was considered by the exec to have most players already onboard.

Here, he was talking about gaming subscriptions, i.e. paying a monthly fee to have access to a library of games. Once you stop paying, games become unavailable, and games outside the subscription are not available either. His idea is to make more gamers comfortable with the subscription model despite it taking away any possibility to play when you stop paying.
