You mean the bullshit flows like a waterfall, and I’m not an idiot, so I don’t buy it. Why do you?

Really: explain to me why you wanna suck shit from the literal asshole that is covering all of us in diarrhea while trying to convince me your breath smells like mint?

I can see the reality we live in. You’d rather live in a fantasy.

Yet you refused to explain why you’re siding with those clearly in the wrong.

Just asking questions

Just asking questions (also known as JAQing off, or as emojis: “🤔🤔🤔”[1]) is a way of attempting to make wild accusations acceptable (and hopefully not legally actionable) by framing them as questions rather than statements. It shifts the burden of proof to one’s opponent; rather than laboriously having to prove that all politicians are reptoid scum, one can pull out one single odd piece of evidence and force the opponent to explain why the evidence is wrong.

The tactic is closely related to loaded questions or leading questions (which are usually employed when using it), Gish Gallops (when asking a huge number of rapid-fire questions without regard for the answers), and Argumentum ad nauseam (when asking the same question over and over in an attempt to overwhelm refutations).

Ok, then: why are you siding against the very clear and damning evidence to defend an extremely exploitative company with zero regards from anyone else’s rights when it’s very clear that they’re in the wrong?

Careful… that kind of talk could lead to your very convenient “suicide”…

Kinda shitty to tell people that their legitimate concerns regarding their freedoms are “non issues”. What incredible privilege you must have.

Must be nice.

Cum guzzling Sam Altman is the new cum guzzling Elon Musk

Must be why people all over the world are terrifically concerned about it. Kind of negates your whole assertion that nobody cares.

Sigh…

👏

Spoilers: They didn’t.

But it’s just what we need!

I’ve got just the thing

Free trials 4 lyfe

This was my first thought: when will we get an arm based framework laptop?

I would immediately leave and get as far away from my home as possible, since that’s where they’re coming to look for me.

There’s a reason that your instance (and others) has defederated from hexbear.

i don’t think hexbear is a good sample group for the average lemmy user nor representative of lemmy users a whole. you might do better sampling lemmy.world, or assembling a meta poll from the top 5 or top 10 instances.

Haiku - based on BeOS

“inspired by” would be more accurate. there’s no original BeOS code in Haiku for legal reasons (other than the interface, which was open-sourced with the release of BeOS 5). All backwards-compatibility with original BeOS software is (impressively) reverse-engineered. Haiku OS is, itself, original software made to - in every way - look, feel, and operate just like BeOS did.

edit: i had a buddy in high school who had a BeBox. it was like having the best of a Mac and a PC in one machine. it really was a spectacular machine and OS. i really wish Apple had picked it up, but they went with NeXTSTEP instead, which, i admit, was still a pretty solid choice.
