Bill Gates is a monster.

it’s about fucking time a lot of y’all in #tech say it loudly and with the chest. he has prove right those of us who’ve been saying it since the 1990s.

all that bullshit about vaccines? he uses his foundation to push the stock up of his pharma companies. one of the points of program was so he could develop a new generation of wage slaves; to work as curators of the vile & violent content techbros use for their aislop grift.

Bill Gates is a monster.

Lemmy.ml and even more so lemmygrad.ml (the latter is defederated from by most sane instances across the Threadiverse) are tankie platforms. Tankies believe in alternative facts, such as the fact that nobody died in the Tiannamen Square Massacre. Or if they did then they deserved it. Or if they did not then it was necessary. Or if it wasn’t then… - I am saying that you should expect arguments to shift goals moment to moment, based on the personal biases and need to appear right on the Internet, regardless of any need to actually be thus.

And don’t even get me started on hexbear.net, which has no real beliefs at all beyond the raw need to troll people incessantly (this one is also defederated from by nearly all sane instances across the Threadiverse).

So, you are missing out on nothing important whatsoever. Consider yourself fortunate that you discovered this early on.

Lol what’s especially frustrating is the fact that I didn’t even! Literally just made the broad assumption that it was of Russian origin.

It’s the digital equivalent of seeing a foreign bomber plane and being like hmm probably the US because we love bombing people. Like yeah you might be wrong… but you’re probably right depending in where you’re physically located!

what? The good folks at Lemmy.ml didn’t like you talking down about a dictator?

Wild!

I hate it when that happens!
Sympathy!

I signed up for the Reddit secret Santa once like a decade ago. Spent a bunch of time researching what to get, and made a really thoughtful gift bag of candy and toys from Western Canada based on what my recipient told me he liked.

The person who got me as their recipient sent me a $5 Amazon comic book for a video game I’ve never played. It looked and felt like the grocery store fliers you get in the mail.

Oh and whoever I sent my gift to claimed he never received it.

Prior to the edit people probably thought they were trying to be snarky about the rules inatead of their intent to show the rules are displayed despite the OP not seeing them.

Wasn’t worthy of a post, yet it’s worthy to look at and comment on? Lol.

Genuine discussion is good, which is exactly why I view banning people for saying things as minor as what I said as insane. I’m not just blanket statement assuming all Russians are bad.

Didn’t see it was two days, may as well be a lifetime ban though now that I know the mods ban for effectively just mentioning other countries. It’s bizarre.

Rule 1 aka you can’t point out the moderators overt bias or conjecture as to why their bias exists.

oh

game's too short to make it on my list tbh

but good job meeting so many of the requirements in such a short time

Their rules are on their front page.

Edit: OP said this:

this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

I’m literally just responding to it. Thanks for the downvotes 🤡

Hesgeth sends an underling to physically threaten Pentagon reporters - who already have to accept unacceptable conditions to just get in there - before his first press briefing in six months.

Big tough man, everyone

@mangroveReviews@mas.to could you expand on what happens exactly when reviews are imported in for a POI that doesn’t exist in OpenStreetMap? I did see this portion: " Otherwise it is the first review of the place, at Google’s position.", but could you give more details?

@amcooper Yeah, I get that -- but that's supposed to be understood as part of the job, in my view.

I mean, in more reasonable times it would never come up -- but when it does, that's how the system is supposed to work (if it's going to work at all).

Maybe we need a better system. Possibly.

@graand I think it's big for the fans and is there anyone more important?
