See I get that but I also feel like Lemmy in some ways has more hostile discourse. Too many people with incredibly entrenched opinions about something incredibly niche who then proceed to shout down anyone who doesn't partake in that niche.

Like at least on Reddit the aggressive circlejerks tend to align with mainstream thought. Like you don't have to point out things like Linux isn't actually perfect and there are reasons Windows may be better in some circumstances or that invading a foreign country because of something they might hypothetically do is not a nice thing to do.

Yeah my only issue with WebOS is that it feels like it should have Chromecast built in but doesn't.

There is an argument that tankies aren't exactly ownership by the people.

Like you don't look at the USSR and think "oh yeah the people really had ownership over their means of production*.

Ownership by the people implies the people have a say.

Actually thinking about it, my one anecdote is that my interviewer for a job application was Swiss. Didn't offer any pleasantries to make me feel less nervous just dove straight into the technical task straight away. I didn't get the job

Would have been nice to have amended the headline to reflect the actual story.

I suspect it's a case of they thought they were getting a good deal out of this when they signed the contract but didn't realise how much Taylor was going to take the piss until it was too late. Likely when the contract expires it probably won't be renewed.

I mean presence of Nazis in society does not mean the society as a whole is Nazi - else literally every country on the planet is Nazi.

Now the presence of Nazis is a problem but there is a difference between a relatively small group who are nowhere near the reigns of power (as is Ukraine's case) and literally being the state (as is Russia's case).
