anything having to do with celebrities
Sam Altman says “…”, Tim Sweeney is against “…”
I scroll past a headline like that every single day.
Being upset that female characters in video games don’t have huge boobs and asses and the intelligence of a watermelon.
Pizza tastes great. Pineapples taste great. The math solves itself.
Taylor Swift. Like, I get that billionaires are a problem, and her carbon footprint is huge. On the list of problematic billionaires, I feel like she really doesn’t do that much problematic shit compared to the others.
Musk is a Nazi that gutted the US govt, Ellison has a laundry list of major issues, bezos is killing small businesses and bought a news company to whitewash himself, gates was involved with Epstein and did some shady shit to grow Microsoft, the waltons single handedly massacred thousands (millions?) of small businesses with anticompetitive practices.
I really don’t think that Swift rises remotely close to the same level of degeneracy and existential threat that these guys do, yet the only other billionaire I see getting criticised as much as her is Musk.
The quandary of whether a taco is a sandwich. That’s the kind of thing some college student asked when they were high af.
Climate change deniers.
Is climate change bad? Very bad, existentially bad. Do I want it to happen? No. Do I try to take steps to mitigate it? Yes, I put my drop in the bucket and vote for people who support policies that would help.
But we’re eyeballs deep in Brandolini’s Law at this point and by the time we get ourselves out of the quicksand, massive change will have taken its toll.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t take action, but working ourselves in to a spittle-flecked outrage everytime someone says something stupid on social media is a waste of energy when we’re already in damage control mode. The battle lines have been drawn for decades and the backlash effect is a very real phenomena.
Economics is going to win this fight before logic and debate does.
Insert latest corporate shareholder or position event here:
I have found almost none of the backlash or headlines that people on the internet, especially Lemmy, want you to be pissed off about, annoying to me enough to actually Care about.
Cultural appropriation.
So… You’re offended. People are living out of their cars now. I’m more worried about that.
Also, the person being offended usually isn’t even from the target culture. They’re being vicariously offended on behalf of somebody else, when the actual members of that culture usually dgaf or like it.
Don’t get me started on “Latinx.”
You’re not wrong.
Pineapple on pizza. I don’t even like it that much but holy shit, shut the fuck up about it. You must have zero personality if you think it bring it up
You gotta admit though, those videos about Italians being scandalised by the sight of it are pretty hilarious
AI being bad.
What a CEO or founder of a company does off the clock. Brave, Mozilla, Mullvad, Proton, GrapheneOS - I just don’t care. If I picked a product off of the CEO not being a dick, I wouldnt have any products or services to use.
“Shitlibs”
Weird fuckin’ american paradigm. I’ve simultaneously been called a shitlib, a tankie, a communist and a capitalist. Piss.
Firefox purity testing. Oh no they ran an ad or made a post on a mainstream platform or developed a widget. Look at the state of the world this is such a non issue and compared to the other browsers out there they are fighting the good fight unequivocally.
Like ProtonVPN whos ceo once praised the appointement of some judge who had done good things before (anti big corpo something IIRC), but he was appointed by trump.
Yeah, not super duper smart there, but years and years and years of fantastic experience? Worthless I guess.
I’m glad someone said this. I don’t have two fucks to give about Firefox’s marketing department marketing their browser.
I had to lol at Firefox today, it wouldn’t let me log into my modem because it was DANGEROUS. Awwww. Lucky I have Librefox as well, it lets me play with matches and drink puddle water.
librewolf but also any flavor of chrome should show the same warning for self signed certs, for the first time. check it in a private window of librewolf
Especially with the World Cup stuff that you can turn off with two clicks. Everyone and their dog watches football, this is the single most uncontroversial thing the nerd browser can add to appeal to new people
Yup.
Brave is a better product.
The fuck it is, have a downvote.
I’ll take it. Have a Happy Friday, friend.
I haven’t tried ff recently, but for a long time it was chromium based browsers or bust. Don’t turn on the crypto ad crap and it works just fine.
I still have ff installed but it’s almost exclusively used for “have you tried accessing our page on a different browser?” support.
Yeah, the crypto stuff is opt-in, as is their AI-tool. I appreciate that they aren’t mandatory.
I think a better question would be the inverse of this.
