I got downvoted on Lemmy the other day because I said that I prefer Bill Gates to Musk.
Maybe there are things about Gates I don’t know. Maybe he is actually quite an evil person; I don’t know. But he does at least spend billions of dollars helping vulnerable people, right? And Bill’s stances on global politics are far more sensible than those of Musk.
By that logic we shouldn’t ban anything for teenagers. But we do: smoking, gambling, alcohol, etc.
Jupiter, the emperor of Europe…
Ah okay. It looks like some people believe the summary is AI-generated though because six people (at the time of me writing this) have upvoted the comment claiming the summary is AI-generated. I really did write it myself though.
Maybe I wrote it in a matter-of-fact way. It’s just a long article so I thought I’d explain the gist of it.
I wrote the summary myself, I didn’t use AI for it.
Something I dislike in movies is when a movie is set in a non-English-speaking country, but all the characters are speaking English. I would rather have the characters speak the proper language for the country, with English subtitles. But I guess the movie execs have calculated that subtitles will make the movie less profitable.
I like DST. I like having sunlight later into the evening during the summer.
I don’t know about the apps because I normally use Lemmy on the web. There might be an option in your app to just see posts from your subscribed communities though.
On the Lemmy.world website you can see posts from your subscribed communities by clicking the “subscribed” tab near the top of the page (the other tabs are “local” which shows you just posts from your instance - Lemmy.world in your case - and “all” which shows you the top posts from all Lemmy servers).
Also on the Lemmy.world website, if you scroll down on the main page, you can see your subscribed communities in a list on the right-hand side of the page. I sometimes use that list when I want to look at a particular community.
AfD got 21% in the election though, higher than just 6%. I think it’s like someone else in this thread said - the right don’t want to buy Teslas because electric cars are seen as “woke”, while the left don’t want to buy Teslas because they don’t like Musk.
94% say they won’t buy a Tesla car
This reminds me of something I read from a British left-wing journalist the other day (source). She suggested that perhaps the left should focus less on identity politics, and more on wealth and class:
By making a virtue of marginalisation, breaking ourselves down into ever smaller and mutually hostile groupings, we make it impossible to build a mass movement capable of taking on extreme concentrations of wealth and power
To me it seems the arrogant one here is you
I have no idea what a passkey is and I will probably only learn what it is when they become mandatory
I will just use passwords + 2FA for the moment
Opinions of him are negative here in the UK as well. In April 2022, 40% of Brits had an unfavourable opinion of him. By August 2024, that had risen to 64%.
Someone could create an instance if they wanted right? The code is on GitHub
Maybe there’s more to it though, I dunno.
And there’s the soldered RAM and storage, and glued-in or screwed-in battery…
Yeah maybe there’s stuff I’m not aware of. I’ve seen some people on Lemmy point out that Bill Gates lobbied for the University of Oxford to not open source their Covid vaccine. I suppose that seems shitty on the face of it.
