This is an example of why it’s important to uphold ideals, never individuals. Stallman is a very bad man who had some very good ideas. I’d never trust him near minors or young women, and I’d never want to speak with him or be in the same room with him.
Yeah I agree I could have avoided the disparagement, but I felt like being succinct vs. writing an entire diatribe cataloging the myriad curses brought upon the fediverse by h*xbear.
“Douche canoe” is an insult, but it’s not a slur. Slurs are more than simply offensive language. Slurs are more deeply harmful. Think the n-word or f-slur, for instance.
Yeah I know what you’re saying. It was a similar experience for me. The hexbears were being raging douche canoes unchecked, yet I got banned.

- Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
I’m not taking sides here, and I’m not trying to be holier-than-thou since I’ve been banned for saying some pointed things about hexbear users, but this is why.
I miss that so much!
The two worst things that ever happened to YouTube were monetized content and Google buying it. It hasn’t even been very fun to browse YouTube since like 2010.
If you look at what a raging tool the CEO is and the implications of the browser’s association with crypto (no matter how optional), I think that Brave just attracts that type of person
Have you ever interacted with a Brave user? No, they can’t.
Oh sweet, I have that and I never noticed that was a feature.
Anyone who’s media literate enough to care about such things do not rely on Google’s algorithm nor monetized YouTube channels / “content creators” to keep informed.
What’s the extension called?
I think this is a good thing. While I understand that mainstream news sources tend to be pro-capitalist/pro-state, it’s still a step up from the unhinged fascist and nationalist conspiracy theories that run rampant on that site.

I just looked it up. How extremely creepy. My brother just put some ring cameras in his house. I’ll show him how to disable this tomorrow. It’s just evil that it’s not opt-in.
Every day, I feel better about my decision to quit Prime and distance myself from this awful corporation.
My biggest grip with mobile apps, even for simple edits, is that none of them seem to support layers. I understand maybe it’s a performance thing, but it sure would be nice to be able to do some very basic things in a pinch when I’m away from my laptop or PC.
Edit: *gripe
I actually did use Paint.net at one point as well, because there was an improved format that GIMP just straight up didn’t support, so at one point I was creating textures for my mods in GIMP, then opening the files in Paint.net and exporting them again lol
To be fair, I’m not a graphic designer, but I did have to learn about things like using layers to create glow maps, so GIMP worked just fine for a scrub like myself, but I can understand for anything more serious it would have some limitations
I think I’m blissfully unaware of what a good photo-editing software looks like since I’ve used GIMP for almost everything. I might struggle with an app that’s good actually, because I’ve learned in one that I’ve heard many times is hard to navigate.
I’ve seen it a lot. Maybe not on Lemmy, but it was definitely something people parroted all over reddit.
Of course, I’ve also seen people on reddit say that Lemmy is so difficult to use, so I think a lot of people just say these things without having the slightest clue what they’re talking about.
I agree regarding things like neurodivergence or general social awkwardness, but attempting to normalize the sexualization of minors or even implying it’s healthy and good is really crossing a line imo
