I keep tuning maybe I don’t have adhd and then I read posts like this.

They managed to find enough people who didn’t already realise that trump is a lying, cheating pile of shit whip doesn’t have an honest bone in his body for his trial.

I’m a mint guy and cis, but I wear my socks at more of an ubuntu level. Is it because I also like functional programming?

Shout out to all the cool trans geeks, though.

You’d go trans for me? Sweet.

Can’t tell you how excited I am to read this headline, despite the feeling that I really oughtn’t count my chickens before they’ve hatched.

I think I’m falling in love with you. Is that gay?

Whoa. I had to look it up. I’m guessing these dudes really strongly don’t wanna see a black dude make love to a white woman or visa versa.

I thought that instances run by the fedihosting folks (that are behind .world) don’t have a no porn rule iirc. Don’t know whether you can subscribe to the lemmy boobycomms via piefed.world though. I think in principle the protocol allows it if the piefed instance hasn’t defederated from the lemmy boobyinstances. Ymmv.

You’re right and I should stop being so rude to you. You’re so wise. I respect you as the source of this viewpoint so very much because you live it out in such an exemplary fashion.

try another round of edits

The edits are because I mistype stuff or realise that it doesn’t say what I intended when I read through it, or I left something out. Today suggests to me that you might benefit from trying that occasionally. It clearly doesn’t suggest it to you, I see.

The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting

Dude, the points are evidence that your comment came across badly, no more. Something you could learn from, but it’s increasingly clear you would do or say anything rather than back down. I’m guessing you see apology as weak and admitting your mistakes as defeat or some other fucked up macho fake alpha fragile masculinity bullshit like that.

before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone

Oh no! I’m so scared!

Wait, you still think you were being nice or polite or something already? Wow.

you kinda suck

Whereas you’re all sweetness and light. Gotcha.

Need to quit engaging with you

Feel free. I shan’t miss you a great deal.

You could go back to interacting with those friends you were telling me about. Presumably ones that don’t mind you saying you’ll sabotage their income stream because they didn’t live up to your principles.

Well I’m petty sure you were coming across as obnoxious and the vote count seems to agree.

If most people are interpreting the things you said earlier in the thread negatively, maybe the cause is in the writer than the reader.

Maybe have another look and see if you mightn’t have written a bit of a sourpost originally, and reconsider your tone next time if you genuinely mean no harm.

Some of us need to earn a living from coding, and I don’t like the idea that you would rather destroy the earning potential of a one-person team than compromise your politics at all even a little bit.

Turn your hatred on the exploitative multinational corporations, not the little guy trying to earn a living from his code.

There’s principles, and there’s actual people, and the people are far, far more important. Don’t be so quick to condemn the little guy for wanting a bit of cash while Besos and the like screw us both over on the daily with billions in their pockets.

People aren’t corporations, and confusing those is partly how America got so extreme in its capitalism.

Sounded to me like you were firing off at someone for having a private personal project by claiming that you would personally intervene to prevent them making any money from their code, then later you told them that they were being self aggrandizing. That’s how it comes across.

You doubled down on your threat with detail, which doesn’t give readers the context to be able to deduce that you meant to be in the slightest bit self aware or apologetic, so without re-quoting yourself, it came across as hypocritical.

Maybe “sorry, that was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing of me” and then not doubling down might have come across better. That’s what I think, anyway.

Forge jerk-off? No. Not that. Definitely not that.

You:

That was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing

Also you:

I’m the person who’s going to crack and redistribute your shit as soon as you publish it, nice to meet you :)

Nope nope nope nope nope. Why would I trust a browser written by criminals for criminals or by the FBI/CIA for criminals with my browsing? Nope nope nope.

Everything you said is how I feel. I was enjoying reddit until the Brexit referendum, which was when it felt like it got taken over by the alt right. When the API thing came, I realised that money was the only thing that mattered and they were selling my discussion space to whoever would spend, and the alt right was spending big. We didn’t matter, so like you, I left.

I was delighted to find people talking again here on lemmy.

Watch Andor. Trust me. Best Star Wars in a looong time, maybe ever. It took me a few episodes to get properly into it, but boy did it pay me back.

The duckduckgo week browser comes with its own YouTube player which is ad free.
