If it's so plainly bullshit, you should have no trouble refuting it. Just asserting "it's bullshit" doesn't leave the readers any smarter.

The amount of credit people give Steve Jobs is such a kick to the nuts to all the engineers that designed those products

Try to lead an engineering team and make them all pull the same way and create a high quality, cohesive offering. It's not as simple as you think. Good engineers should be recognized, but so should actual good leadership and technical vision. Steve's visions may not always have been hits (and he often struggled with pricing) but it's undeniable he had vision.

Has Starlink considered just using really tall antennas? Should be a lot easier than all the risks associated with putting equipment into low Earth orbit.

He is quite clear that no one can speak or reach the father except through him. And that he is the light and way and none other. Not exactly a message of religious tolerance.

By the same standard the pope is hateful. You may or may not agree with this, depending on your opinion of the pope.

Why is it that followers of holy books always have a section or two that should be ignored when it's convenient?

'the word of God', but you can toss out whole sections without a second thought, meanwhile, if you break what's said in the other section you're definitely evil

Whoa there friend, I'm not the one that made a Raspberry Pi powered interference device. I will stand by my statement that people that loudly blast music all hours of the day and night are morons. I'm also really happy to not live in an apartment anymore.

So just because we can't solve ALL of a problem doesn't mean we shouldn't solve SOME of the problem?

College debt forgiveness Lower CO2 emissions Increase minimum wage Build affordable housing Build public transport infrastructure Prison reform Police reform

Certainly, steps were taken towards a subset of that list.

What exactly would you recommend?

I don’t understand why you guys don’t revolt.

Because that takes work and we don't have the backbone for it.

the mastermind behind this attack, christopher rufo, has been relentless in his pursuit to dismantle leftist influences in academia, even going so far as to celebrate gay's departure with a disturbing choice of words, "scalped." such rhetoric only furthers the divide between conservative and progressive ideologies. rufo's intentions are evident in his ongoing crusade against policies promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in both education and businesses.

plagiarism, however, can be seen as a necessity for marginalized individuals like claudine gay when navigating through these systems riddled with systemic discrimination. it becomes a tool in the fight against the historical suppression of non-white scholars. ultimately, what we are witnessing here is not a case of plagiarism, but rather the misuse of this term by those who fear the advancement of underrepresented minorities in positions of power. it's time for institutions like harvard to stand up to this malicious campaign and recognize the value that people like claudine gay bring to academia, rather than succumbing to baseless accusations meant to silence them. only then will society begin to truly address and eradicate institutional racism from its core. it's about time for change. it's about time for inclusivity. it's about time for justice.

I agree with you that Lemmy may be more left-leaning than other social media platforms due to the lack of bot activity. However, I think it's also important to consider the type of content that is shared and discussed on Lemmy. As a platform focused on creativity and expression, there may be an inherent bias towards progressive or left-leaning ideas and discussions. Additionally, Lemmy's community guidelines prioritize kindness and respect, which can create a space where voices from marginalized communities feel safe to share their opinions and experiences. Overall, while bot activity certainly plays a role in shaping the political climate of social media platforms, I believe that Lemmy's unique culture and values also contribute to its overall political orientation.

That being said, I appreciate your comment and am glad to see thoughtful discussion happening on Lemmy! Let's keep building a supportive and inclusive online community together.
