wow. so deep

Can you rephrase their argument? To me it’s nonsense

You’re totally right, I just think you underestimate how long it takes to rigorously audit a whole codebase. Let’s say you look for outvound network calls. Now you need to figure out for all of them whether they are malicious, which will require specific domain knowledge. And that’s assuming you find them all, the network call could be hidden away in a dependency. None of this is impossible but it requires a serious effort.

still much more customizable than GNOME

nothing? awesome, I guess this software is safe to use. Let’s gooo

On the other hand, there is also people replying to those comments challenging the claim that Norway is in fact capitalist

The types of companies that are allowed to operate and the bounds in which they are allowed to operate absolutely define countries. Norway has a capitalist economy, which allows this kind of company to thrive.

They just pointed out that Norway is also capitalist, they didn’t say that the US isn’t. (You used the strawman here)

If a bit of walking cuts it for you, be happy. Some of us need to do actual cardio to keep the anxiety at bay

It’s about sending a message. Make the rich folks scared.

Nicely done. Barely read the meme, missed the point, built a strawman, had an imaginary argument and called OP a liberal. 10/10 perfect form. Can I interest you in an account at lemmy.ml?

The thing with advertising is that the advertisers make more money in product sales from people who watched ads than they spend telling YT to push their ads. That’s just how the advertising business works.

In other words, either the viewers pay youtube not to show ads, or the viewers pay the advertisers to pay youtube (in a roundabout way).

So it’s just you paying in both cases, unless you use an adblocker :)

PSA: firefox + ublock origin blocks youtube ads even on mobile (on android at least)

It’s not like Jan 6 2021 was a successful coup either tho?

tering lekker. Gewoon op de grote markt bij “De Hoek” uit de muur halen, dat is de echte Groningen ervaring

Nou zeg dat lijkt nogal op een Eierbal uit Grunn

She also played a Boiler Room DJ Set recently

Whats the deal with fabric scissors? Do they break when used on other things?

Well that specific song is apparently from the 1868 one, not the 1966 one.

Trust me my pops would not confuse the two, he was a die hard fan :D

Oh shit I just looked it up and my old man was right and the OP is wrong! :O
