Straw men, straw men everywhere. Thanks for making the decision to leave your crazy echo chamber easier.

This is absolutely fucking idiotic. Or is "idiotic" an ableist slur because it degrades stupid people?

This kind of blatantly ideologically-motivated behavior is why your platform will die.

It doesn't make sense to use such a young platform that way. New communities and even new servers are popping up regularly, and I'd like to see what's happening on the platform as a whole. I want a blacklist, not a whitelist. Until I can block users, communities, and whole servers from my feed, this place just isn't worth the amount of effort it takes to scroll through all the wingnut political agitprop.

Agreed. Over the last couple of months, it's become clear that Lemmy is shaping up to be Voat for the Left. Maybe I'll come back once blocking functionality has been implemented, but until then, I'm just not interested in wading through the sea of political loony toons to sift out the interesting privacy and open-source content.

I said it doesn’t surprise me that a researcher believes it is. I’m not really appealing to anyone or anything if I don’t make an assertion.

You endorsed the conclusion, whether you're willing to admit it or not, and the fact that you would even advance this argument is proof that you're not interested in good-faith dialog (as is this completely unhinged rant in this thread).

I'm not going to play sophistry with you. Bye.

Why is the government funding sports at all?

"Endlessly inventive"

What do you need encryption for? You trust the government, don't you?

The ACLU is a pale shadow of the organization it once was, and watching it fall has been one of my great sorrows.

Posting about stupid anti-privacy authoritarianism from the Australian government is almost cheating.

Agreed, I don't like the idea of mods being able to edit posts or comments to make it look like a user said something they didn't actually say.

14 hours! Longer than I would have guessed.

2010: The Year We Make Contact is a great example of 80s-era hard SF.

Imma hold my breath and wait for this to get brigaded by !china with claims about it being western propaganda.

I love how the "fake" is in quotes, as though they're only technically fake.

I guess he took losing his own tournament pretty hard.

I had a Note 4 for the longest time, and the stylus was handy for fine control when I wanted to draw something. You could also set the phone to show a notepad on the lock screen whenever you pulled the stylus out of its slot, which was convenient for quick note-taking. Other than that, I almost never used it, and I don't miss it at all now.
