Just because you understand someone well enough to correct them doesn't mean everyone else will
Just because you understand them well enough today doesn't mean you will tomorrow
We should all be striving to be better than we are, not breeding resentment from contentment
I don't disagree. I think if it's an issue the users have the power to resolve it
Me: You guys acted more aggressive in my instance than this comic portrays
You: Both sides. Concern troll....
Posted an example elsewhere. Someone being a far bigger piece of shit doesn't mean you are incapable of being kinda crappy yourself. We're very far from anything resembling a both sides thing here
And how would you go about getting someone to recognize the fascists they're standing next to for what they are in such a situation?
You say that like a whole lot of us didn't have that realization decades ago.
No experience is universal and your logical conclusion won't be the same for everyone.
Even if it were by throwing something aggressive in the face of someone who isn't even on the same road you're just going to come off as an ass. You drive others deeper into their position rather than getting anywhere productive. Which you may not care about on the surface, but then I'd argue you're just pushing a different war drive.
They came in with broad sweeping statements and assumptions paired with judgements and wishes of harm based in nothing but their own minds from what I could see.
There was also no shortage of an amplification of the message in this comic, all Western media is lying about everything all the time kinda thing. In the interest of full disclosure that's very likely an exaggeration itself, but I'd wager closer to the truth than what's here.
I'm not denying any of that happened any more than you're denying what went down on my home instance. I wasn't there
Nope, I'm with you on all that. That's also not what the comic is highlighting. Trans people exist and deserve all the rights everyone else has. Transphobes are pieces of shit and should be dealt with accordingly.
"I think Western institutions and media are not being entirely honest about their geopolitical opinions" is not like the phrasing I see from hexbear users out in the wild.
We're all playing at a handicap against them all the time.
I grew up beyond poor. I don't need a reminder of how big that gap is.
No, I'm not willing to employ their tactics. I'd rather help those worse off than me succeed than elevate myself on their backs.
My issue is more with trackers than ads anyways
Agreed. I have no issues with this.
Also, there are quite some sites that just copy content or or have an AI write content, made to rank high in searches, then is putbfull of adds to make money. Those are automated money-farms, and deserve blockers.
I agree here as well. Though the simplest solution is to avoid them altogether I don't have an objection to working against deliberately malicious sites like this.
But I also pay for multiple websites and services I use regularily despite them working fine without paying or having "free" alternatives. After all, nothing is free and I rather pay with money than with data.
And with this I have no objections to anything else. My issue is specifically with the mindset of neither viewing any ad regardless of anything besides it being an ad combined with refusal to offer any sort of recompense. You're supporting at least a few sites that you feel are worth supporting and that's plenty for me.
Encryption can be decrypted. A password manager encrypting your passwords is like saying your car has working brakes. It's totally unsafe to even consider operating without but it doesn't say much when it is there.
It's not a matter of "why should I trust them" but "why should I trust them more than the system that already exists". I get the appeal, but the hole is big.
If I forget a password I reset it. If I forget my manager's password can it be reset? Is the reset option, if extent, susceptible to attack?
If an account gets compromised it could have moderate repercussions, but probably minimal depending on the account, with maybe a couple exceptions. If managed passwords get compromised that's potentially everything. There has not, and likely never will be, an impenetrable system, so it is a possibility if not a concern.
Ultimately that makes it easier to break.
How many people do you suppose don't exceed minimum requirements? Once you've got that you can reduce how much you need to generate.
Yeah, you can get that by going to the sign up process, but it generates an extra step that would also increase automation/scraping efforts since it's rarely in the same place.
We're clearly not going to agree here. Plenty of people would rather be made aware of their mistakes and that's no less valid than your point of view. Personally I would rather avoid potential misunderstandings than deal with them after the fact. I'm not the only one who feels that way.
