AeroLemming, to asklemmy in What is an absurdity that has been normalized by society?

I can kind of see an argument that you exchange your attention for services online, but ads forced on you IRL should be illegal. If ads are a form of payment, then unsolicited ads are theft.

AeroLemming, to 196 in Breaking Rule

1.5x is fucking fast, but I watched most of a long YouTube video on 1.25x speed without noticing until I realized that the youtuber’s voice sounded a little bit off.

AeroLemming, to nostupidquestions in How are slavery reparations fair?

Party A is enslaved by party B. Party B dies and leaves his wealth to party C, who dies and leaves his wealth to … party F. Party A dies and leaves his lack of wealth to … party K. Party F uses the empire built off of his wealth to sell things to party K and some random other party L. Is party L responsible for compensating party K for party B’s exploitation of party A?

Then why not just put more money towards poor communities regardless of race?

AeroLemming, to nostupidquestions in How are slavery reparations fair?

Reparations are just getting the proletariat to cover the bourgeoisie’s bills, as usual. If you really want to make things right, you should trace capital ownership to those currently actually profiting from slavery.

But tax-based reparations will mostly be paid out from normal proletariat with little to no capital ownership.

AeroLemming, to pcgaming in Epic Games Store is offering developers 100% of revenue for six months of exclusivity

The Epic launcher takes longer to load than the average Steam game + launcher combined. I could start from an empty desktop, open something through Steam’s launcher, and be at the game’s main menu in the time it takes to get to the frontpage in Epic.

AeroLemming, to linux in Ubuntu's Mozillateam PPA now forcing users over to snap install for Firefox.

Are forks of Ubuntu like Mint and Pop_OS still good choices, or do they suffer from a Chromium-style lack of freedom?

Oh right, that makes sense. I don’t think it’d matter too much because you can’t tell someone’s age over the phone unless they’re prepubescent or senile, but thanks for explaining the logic.

Why?

You could try putting a coat on ahead of time if you know it’s gonna be cold.

AeroLemming, to asklemmy in What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"?

They do if they’re at all active in their community. Lots of people complain about it. Despite being a premium app, they do seem to get things done more slowly than the FOSS stuff.

Voyager does that too, just not by default.

If you’re cold, you wear a coat. If you’re hot, you get heat stroke.

I just can’t fathom paying for an app that still has that super annoying comment bug that shows up in every large comments section, especially with all of the fully functional FOSS alternatives.
