You put a VPN on your company phone?

What about comments though?

I think it's a bit ridiculous how the pride flag was meant to show that humanity is on a spectrum of all kinds of sexualities in different amounts. But then the attention people wanted to start adding extra widgets, shapes, and colors to the flag that was supposed to represent basically everyone (or at least the non 100% straight people, depends on interpretation).

Go to the hood and tell a black dude walking around at two am that he has his own representation on the pride rev. d flag, right between the stripes for asexual and native Americans or whatever, and see what happens.

That's literally not free speech. If I say I like to eat broccoli every day and that people should try it for health reasons and you're some kind of carnivore mod and it tickles you the wrong way and you block me for it... That's censorship and the opposite of free speech.

You're telling me that you control the narrative. Now there's nuance to censorship for sure, but you're telling me that if you don't like what I say I'm out. I have to type within the confines of the bubble of what isn't too uncomfortable for you.

I say let the downvotes do the talking. If I go on the electric vehicles instance talking about how (non-ironocally) I love to roll coal and how that's what's keeping me from trying EVs, I expect to be downvoted into the shadow realm. And that's ok. What I'm not ok with is a mod assuming that my voice sucks and that I don't deserve to be heard. Maybe some smart lemmier(?) will point out some doodad that makes a brrr noise and shoots out some harmless mist or something.

You teleported out of the closet. I like it. Live your true life funkless!

I have only been on the federverse for like two or three weeks. I meant in popular media and actually even in my real life interactions.

I have heard things like I tried to be gay, or I wish I was a lesbian, etc. I do think that it's influenced by media having this archetype of the ~~cool/suave/fun/wise/good-crazy~~ interesting side-character friend. Oftentimes these characters aren't fully developed and their whole personality is that they are not straight, but they have this cool friend group thing going on and everyone likes them.

Don't get me wrong, there are fantastic examples of gay characters in media where they aren't just the token diversity character, it too often we have quirky-dirky (but flat) interesting person whose only defining quality is that they're not boring ol' heterosexual

I think they cranked the dehaze slider to maximum overdrive

This feels disconcerting somehow

Does lemmy have sort by controversial?

Hitler reading your comment while tweaking would probably make some deductions that he'd like to share in his next meth fueled speech.

I love my subaru, but I do have everything on a stupid touch screen. I would have gone in that 2022 Forester that still had a bunch of real buttons, but it didn't come with a turbo option so I went with the Outback where everything was integrated. Even then the Android auto experience could definitely be better.

It feels like San Francisco's fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it's cheap to manufacture and people think it's trendy.

I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.
