they’re getting downvoted because their tone is condescending (“just a thought”) and because this kind of comment shifts the blame from the oppressive side to the victim. if that at least was good advice, but it’s not even that since he’s stating something obvious, thus undermining their engagement and activism even more.

In Switzerland, Proton is well-known but their CEO is more than shady, and Infomaniak is a better alternative.

I don’t understand the 11 downvotes… Thank you for sharing, I’ve wondered about this game for a long time.

IT’S YOUR MOM

It’s weird for a supersonic airplane to come back as a free-to-play game but ok

It’s funny I litterally just finished an episode of Search Engine, the ‘new’ PJ Vogt podcast, where that’s the actual question. It was the May 3rd episode, and they’re interviewing a researcher on the topic, etc.

i understand even less when people are saying that when someone does something out of passion it should allow us to consume it for free

well you gotta do what you gotta do

The sad thing is I knew at the time, but lack of games and, most of all, the lack of my friends having it, made the dreamcast lose in favour of its contenders.

I thought the Dreamcast earned this title

My bad, I edited my comment.

So two ministers of the actual israelian governement are now “two random dudes”.

These misconceptions indeed do not excuse supporting Hamas, which is why I said demanding a ceasefire and an investigation into a potential genocide and denouncing Hamas’ terrorist acts aren’t exclusive positions.

Disagreeing with someone saying there is a genocide happening, when there is indeed one happening, is not just a matter of opinion, it is effectively denying the suffering of thousands, or giving it some legitimacy. You can’t just complain about hostility when your opinion, whether consciously or not, carries its own share of violence.

Calling the 153 countries who voted in favour of a ceasefire, including Finland, Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway, Belgium, Sweden or Switzerland, a “block of authoritarian and Muslim countries primarily” is a bold claim. Here is the list of the 10 countries who voted against – for fun I’ve included their latest score on the Democracy Index, on a scale from 0 to 10 where 10 is the most democratic –: Austria (8,2), Czech Republic (7,9), Guatemala (4,6), Israel (7,9), Liberia (5,4), Micronesia (no data), Nauru (no data), Papua New Guinea (6,5), Paraguay (6,1), United States of America (8,2).

But they are committing genocide. Opinion is irrelevant against facts: they are trying to expell the palestinian population from Gaza, they even said it out loud two days ago. This and the fact that Hamas have committed terrorist acts are two facts that can coexist in the world.

I think you’re right, maybe I’m just being impatient. I just appreciate the mix of points of view, I think it helps to see things differently.

People of different background have more chance to have a bigger diversity of point of view. You may not be able to guess the background of a single commenter, but you can spot things missing. Also, I wasn’t actually thinking about race, but gender identities and sexual orientations as well.

I know this comment could receive some negative feedback, but Lemmy lacks diversity in its userbase, compared to Reddit (or Tumblr in the old times). It’s just a feeling, when I scroll through comments and posts on Lemmy, I picture most of the users as 16-46 yo white males.

EDIT: changed “45” to “46”, see comment below.

You’re just presenting nuanced conclusions as overwhelming truths to put weight on your opinion, while taking a few shortcuts. You’re entitled to your opinion of course, but that doesn’t mean you get to dismiss any contradicting ones by deciding unilaterally what the words mean.

Chiropractice in the US might be just “cracking joints”, but it’s not true everywhere. If you can’t accept that, then I don’t know what to tell you.

The italian mind for sure tolerates more contradiction than most, but that doesn’t mean italian people can’t complain.

Also, there is a lot of different factors at play in your comment. Even only in regards to sewers, can you imagine the complexity of designing, implementing and renovating a sewer system in a historical millenia-old city built on water?

Reverence is a projection, I don’t think italians demand reverence, but respect and empathy would be a nice start.
