I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

That is putting it very mildly.

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”

Farmer’s market farmers generally aren’t from giant corporate farms.

They can have a white supremacy issue though.

The WSB campaign to save it made no sense to me. So many better companies have gone under.

Maybe you shouldn’t.

That’s my situation too. Got the Kobo Clara Color as a Christmas present for myself (the color was like $10 more, so what the hell) after resisting eBooks for years, and I really love it.

They take almost any ebook type, but they do have their own proprietary format, KEPUB. That’s what their own store uses. Thankfully, Calibre can convert to and from it. Due to Kobo being able to more easily handle zooming in to images and things like that with KEPUB, it’s sometimes worth converting.

You’re not learning anything if Copilot is doing it for you. That’s the point.

People keep acting like Kagi, desite being part of the capitalist system and even celebrating how profitable they are, are the good guys. And I am tired of seeing people giving them free advertising on Lemmy.

Here’s Kagi using some terrible marketing copy right out of freshman year business school to talk about how them making profits by people paying them to do what can be done for free benefits everyone:

We are also thrilled to report that we have achieved profitability. This significant milestone is a testament to our sustainable growth and fiscal responsibility. It demonstrates that our approach of offering a premium, ad-free search experience resonates with users who support a service aligning with their values. Becoming profitable allows us to reinvest in the business, further enhancing our offerings and ensuring that we can continue to provide a top-notch search experience.

Enjoy your privilege.

I’m sure he won’t mind verifying that he wasn’t lying when he said you told him to kill himself in the response immediately after the one where you told him to kill himself, as shown by the above screenshot.

I’m also predicting he won’t care for you trying to use him as a shield considering the whole telling him to kill himself thing.

I guess we’ll see who’s right, you or the screenshots.

You neither agreed with what I said nor disagreed with what I said. You did not address what I said at all. I will give you one last chance, but I doubt you will bother:

“Mount McKinley” is “just a name” for what is supposed to be called Denali. Ask an indigenous person if they think changing the name of a sacred mountain to the name of a man responsible for one of them many genocides of their people is “just a name.”

Then ask virtually any black person if they don’t care about Trump and Republicans restoring Confederate generals’ names to military bases. Find out if they think it’s “just a name.”

So, since you’ve claimed you addressed it and all you keep saying is, “it’s just a name,” is your contention that Mount McKinley and Fort Bragg are just names and those people of color shouldn’t get so uppity about them?

Got it, that cancer patient you definitely did not tell to commit suicide lied and accused you of telling him that one response later because you’re the real victim.

Maybe we should bring @[email protected] in on this and see what he thinks?

It’s also the opinion of the person you responded to.

Those stupid lying cancer victims are clearly out to get you.

reason: No encouraging people to suicide, well intentioned or not

See, the problem with stupid lies like this is that the modlogs are public.

And now it’s time for you to get onto one of your sockpuppet accounts to talk about how mean people are being to you.

Then no one would see them make a mockery of trans people.

But at least you tried to solve other people’s addictions to Lemmy by telling them to commit murder/suicide. Multiple people. Very kind of you.

I’d read those, but they’re probably behind a paywall like they do with superior websites.
