We should use the death penalty more often.USA should invade Israel, Russia and Ukraine… take whatever we need to help our own people and decimate the rest into lakes.
Capitalism works great. You just need to put in a few guard rails and be willing to step in and fix she once in a while.
guard rails
B…But that’s SOCIALISM!
Don’t get me wrong, I think the tankies and communist are as crazy as the trumpets. A pragmatic center voting base is dead.
not all Christians are assholes who touch kids. a lot of (not saying all) the atheists here are absolutely wild

internet atheists
I’m really into theological debate/discussion but I gotta admit, I cannot stand atheist communities online. I want to believe all the vitriol and seething is coming from kids who haven’t processed their religious trauma… But I get the feeling at least half of it is adults with nothing better to rail against
Militant Evangelical Atheists are the worst. Give me a good laid back agnostic any day.
Copyright and intellectual property as a whole is actually bad for artists and authors and only serves the interests of large corporations.
The idea of
coffeecopyright is good, but corporate lobbying and the current most-money-wins legal system makes our implementation of copyright harmful. TL;DR: Interface good, implementation bad.I think even the interface is just intended as a band-aid fix for the current economic system (not gonna say the C word). In a better world art and media would be a public good.
But I do get your point. Could absolutely be improved for the current system.
You think that opinion is gonna cause you to be bombarded on Lemmy?
Well it got me bombarded on reddit.
While I agree that this is true currently, I do not believe that it necessarily must be. Life plus 70 years is some top-tier bullshit, and no one who isn’t a corporate bigwig will fight you on that. But 20 years from release date is not, especially if enforced equally on all creative works instead of just the ones made by artists who can afford corporate lawyers. Imagine if we had some way to protect against art theft or freebooting besides the honor system. Imagine if OpenAI actually had to pay artists to use their works to train Midjourney instead of just saying “it would be impossible to do this without massive amounts of copyright infringement, therefore you should just let us.”
Firefly was overrated and was right to be cancelled.
How can cowboys and hookers in space be anything but fantastic?
whats firefly
[TV series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(TV_series\))
Get out.
Fuck you! Fuck you AND the horse you rode in on.
Actually, you seem to one of the only ones to understand the post. But still, firefly was awesome, don’t go there
Black tea is superior to coffee, because the caffeine rush is much more pleasant and the crash is mild. It’s better at helping you focus and improving your mood. Tea doesn’t wreck your stomach lining and turn you into a raving looney when you can’t get it. It’s cheaper than coffee, pound for pound. The people who run the world are all tea drinkers.
takes his daily ritaline
Yeah such a mild crash when I drink tea in the morning
I enjoy both but well brewed tea seems to be faster and less work than well brewed coffee. Both to prepare and in cleanup / maintenance of the equipment.
Indeed! High five!
Standard English breakfast? Or something else?
Nay nay! Loose leaf single origin or GTFO! Since we’re being controversial, let’s be a fun type and talk about what really matters. How long of a steep?! COME AT ME TEABROOOOS
Linux is a useless hassle for most computer users.
Why would you say something so brave, yet so controversial?
To add to this. Most complaints about windows from linux users are just people who don’t know how to use windows, which is kinda embarrassing considering its the most used OS by a really big margin.
Linux based OSes are by far most popular globally. Windows is only super popular on desktops and laptops.
I’m willing to bet that 95% of the users using a ‘Linux based OS’ would have absolutely no clue, and if you put them in front of a desktop with Linux on it they’d be as lost as anyone else.
I’m willing to bet 95% wouldn’t care, they have their web browser there and that’s all that’s needed.
I’d even go so far as to say most people would find a stable Linux distro with GNOME easier than Windows. The user experience for most part is closer to that of your Android phone.
That’s kinda my point, Android is a Linux based OS. But go to any random guy with a Samsung and ask him to install Minecraft on a Linux desktop and he’ll have a panic attack.
open app store > search ‘Minecraft’ > press install
It’s literally harder to install on Windows
Android and ios is easier to use compared to both Linux and windows
I don’t understand iOS. It’s super unintuitive. Maybe it’s coming from the fact that I grew up in the DOS generation and had to fumble around with everything to get it done, that I am just fundamentally incompatible with a hardened and uncustomizable OS? I keep looking for “obvious” functions that simply don’t exist, and am continuously flabbergasted when someone hands me an iPhone to do something.
Linux, Windows, Android? I’ll figure it out in seconds.
I also have this problem with apple products, but I hear people tell me it’s more intuitive. Maybe I just havent spend enough time in the whole ecosystem to learn the hieroglyphs.
If you need to spend time to familiarize, it’s by default not intuitive.
I’d go a step further. Desktop computing as a whole is overkill for most users.
As much as I’m loathe to admit it, my cheap Asus Chromebook is likely more than what 90 percent of humanity requires. And most of them could easily just get away with using a phone or tablet instead.
I’m an old school guy. I love a good tower with a pair of monitors and stuff to do my editing and 3D design. But even those intensive tasks are getting better on smaller form factors.
It’s just not my world anymore. I’ve aged out of it.
You use linux because you think it’s objectively better. I use linux because I like doing nifty shit. We are not the same.
I’ll bite: most people don’t give a fuck about the fediverse and the hassle of having to understand it all in order to navigate it is only a barrier to entry that will slowly drive away people until the platforms die a slow, painful death.
Everyone on here saying they like it this way and prefer it over the mess that is Reddit or X are completely missing the point that negative growth will only lead to a failed platform.
The fediverse tries to solve a problem that doesn’t exist for everyone, while promoting itself as the solution to everyone’s problem.
You’re right, most people don’t give a fuck about it, and many of the attitudes on Lemmy aren’t shared by the vast majority of people. That’s not necessarily a problem, but it is if you think that Lemmy is going to suddenly overtake Reddit.
I did not care for the Lord of the Rings.
Despite the major problems with modern society I think we’re still living in the best age in human history so far.
Spaghetti sucks, no matter who makes it. it’s like adult baby food, but worse than actual baby food.
Follow up: burritos suck too
Not only was Deckard a replicant, he was a replicant uploaded with memories of Gaff, the character played by Edward James Olmos.
Gaff was an injured in the leg when responding to the original break-in at the Tyrell Corporation. One replicant got fried going through an electric fence, but a mistake in the script miscounted and there is one extra unexplained replicant that is never mentioned.
It is my firm belief that that captured replicant was programmed with Gaffs memories and tasked with finishing Gaffs mission, while Gaff himself had to act as a chaperone. And he’s pretty pissed off about it because everyone seems to think this replicant can “do a man’s work”, as he says at the end of the film.
I like my expensive steak well done.
Let me say that your comment is on topic and a valuable addition to the conversation. I hope you get many upvotes.
Personally I think you should be banned from eating a good cut of meat ever again. The boiled leather of an old worn out shoe should be a feast for you.
The good news is I would argue the most expensive cuts of beef pretty much cannot be “ruined”. So eating them well done is probably ok. I’m talking about meats with insane amounts of marbling like Kobe beef.
I used to eat steak well done until I made it myself for the first time and massively misjudged the timings. Came out medium rare and it was amazing. Do it that way every time now.
But people acting like well done steak is a crime against nature is so bizarre.
Anytime I see something related to hello kitty, my little pony, and now spongebob, I think red flag.
Milk is delicious
