Yes, sorry, as I said, that was a mistake

I was trying to point out a possible train of thought causing someone to be opposed to ideas of higher taxes for rich people. Sorry for the spelling mistake, English is not my first language. I also shouldn't have mixed other issues into it, that did not help the discussion.
Maybe the main reason for people refusing taxes for the rich is a lack of trust to those in favour of it, because they percieve the ones favouring it as opponents. This could be at least partially due to them using insults and personal attacks as a means of discussion. Sorry if there are spelling mistakes again, my break is over and I do not have time to check each word I am unsure about.
Thanks for the explanation. I still find it weird that developers spend time on that screen if it servers no real purpose, at least nowadays
That makes sense. But I was talking about games where you only go to the main menu after pressing a key
I liked the new Firefox logo when it came out, but I think now I would appreciate it if logos became a little more sophisticated again.
Whats the point of those screens anyway? I just started the game and waited for the loading screen. What else do you think I would want to do but continue? Oh, yes, nothing, because it is literally the only option. Then just send me to main menu right away instead of wasting my time
I think after Windows 7 they tried to get into the mobile market for a while so they changed a few things to make Windows work with touch input. But then they realized that they were not up to the task of dealing with actual competition because it requires actually making a good product, so they retreated to their desktop comfort zone where they've had a monopoly since forever due to exclusive software and user habits and started to cash in on it by plastering everything with ads. Meanwhile, they pulled out the few skilled developers to have them work on cloud stuff with Azure, because at least after they accidentally lost the emails of the european parliament to a chinese intelligence service without any consequences they know that nothing threatens their dominance over the market
True. But I kind of hoped lemmy would be different. After hearing about the evil algorithms of Youtube, Facebook, etc using fear and anger to keep you engaged with their platform, I came to hope that with a non profit federated system there would be more diverse discussions with more tolerance for different points of view. But as you said, it is basically just the internet average.
After all, no evil corporate master plan is needed. It seems to me like people just like to live in filter bubbles if given the option.
If that surprises you wait until you learn what happens if you have an Xbox Controller and do not update the firmware for some time. It might just start crashing your window manager (component of the Windows operating system) at random times for some reason and the games you are playing just suddenly minimize one or two times per hour.
Have I mentioned I try to use Linux wherever the software I want to use is available for it?

Die Bauern versuchen halt, ne Mehrheit zu organisieren. Leute, die die Grünen wählen, wird man ohnehin kaum für Dieselsubventionen begeistern können, also kann man sie auch als Feindbild nehmen um Unterstützung von anderen Lagern zu bekommen, nach dem Motto: "Der Feind meines Feindes ist mein Freund".
Ist zumindest aktuell meine Theorie
