Philosophy Tube has a great video about this topic https://youtu.be/rLfzO7Sbdc4. At 27:20 she starts talking about who’s life is worth grieving and who’s is not, and how this is a government level topic. It hits the nail on the head about the differences in reporting two different people’s deaths can have. At 33:45 they specifically talk about the 2008 Gaza war.

You don’t have to be so very exasperated about it :( /s

I would rather you guys lower the drinking age to 18…

We’ll have to see if System 76’s Cosmic DE can stir up some tribalism again!

Some comments are mentioning farmers owning certain strains on crop. HOAs being dicks about as well doesn’t surprise me bow that you mention it.

That is wild!

How is that illegal? So you’re telling me in your country you can’t buy a tomato from a store and then throw it in some soil at home?

Monopolies are bad enough by themselves. But with google they own such a large part of the day to day web browsing experience it’s amazing it’s not worse than it already is.

• YouTube has documented cases of effectively throttling non-chrome browsers.
• There is a lot of juicy user behaviour data that can be gathered directly from chrome to support Google’s AD network.
• Google bank roll a lot of the web technologies that run websites, giving chrome an edge to implement new tech earlier and better than the competition.
• They also own Android, and unlike windows, they don’t even give you a pop up in what browser you want to use.
• They also don’t only control Chrome, but they are giving out the chromium (the web engine under the hood). So now they effectively control Brave, Edge, Opera, and any other browser that runs on chromium. And wouldn’t you know it, they heavily nerfed ad blockers capabilities in chromium to increase Googles ad revenue.

That can still become very problematic though. Nationalists usually lean heavily on western culture and white supremacy, something Europe has plenty of. It’s inevitable that the alt right will have a growing presence and influence in the EU parliament as they grow in each member state.

Yeah, but as a swede myself I definitely know it’s a no no word especially as by that time other YouTube’s already had their own n-word controversies.

He’s had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said “death to all Jews”. Pewdiepie didn’t think they would actually do it.

They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he’s a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.

That is so bitter sweet. I got a pizza thief of my own, I hope she has many good years left in her, but I will keep your husky in mind.

I agree. And luckily for Lemmy and all other FOSS projects the worst that can happen is a fork of the project is created with a potentially fractured community.

But that’s exactly what I said in the beginning. The worst that can happen is the original creators take the project in an undesired direction so a fork is created.

I guess the closest I know of is Maps.me and Organic Maps? Maps.me was open source, but got purchased and enshittified, so Organic Maps was forked from it. And now there is some drama with the Organic Maps shareholders/co-founders, so unless that is (or has it already been?) sorted out we’re likely to see another fork of it.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the main dev(s) members of lemmy.ml? So I can certainly see how differing political views could skew the development of the main branch of Lemmy.

The protocol itself could surely start its journey if enshittification? In which case different, possibly incompatible, branches would spawn fragmenting the Lemmy space. Still miles better than the whole thing burning to the ground. But with no shareholders looming around (yet) we can hope it won’t come to that.

I do unfortunately still use it for my VR sim racing. But half of that is because I got a quest 3 as an entry point for VR. I’d love to get one where you don’t have to fiddle around with video compression and WiFi latency.

Banana, Melon, Kiwi & Lemon in my ass 😐

I can agree with it for elderly people and/or people with a sever chronic condition who have little to keep suffering for. But for younger people with “fixable” problem I would hope we first male sure they get all the support they could need and want before euthanasia becomes an option. I know we aren’t anywhere close pretty much anywhere in the world, but in the interim until we get there? I don’t know, be angry at politicians and voters until they stop gutting public health care maybe.
