Not meaning to be racist, but

Proceeds to say something completely, like pre WW2 level, racist

The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?

Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).

There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.

Many people have clarity over what’s going on, the hard part is dodging and outsmarting human trash like Piers while still making use of their platform to spread the truth and counteract their propaganda.

That’s the really hard part and the reason why I respect him immensely for this.

Maybe public opinion will change now that there’s white victims of the genocide too

You are one wrong object touch away from possibly dying

If they haven’t done all this until now, what makes you think they’ll do it then?

The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.

Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?

But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we’ll discuss it then

This is like suggesting that emptying a round of an AK on someone that punched you is somehow “walking into a trap”

Does it make sense or is it justified?

There’s quite a difference

If you thought any measures taken for Ukraine were because of morals you’re very mistaken

Always the Agile circlejerk certification

Can many of us also get an agile certification and coach the proletariat to seize the means of production?

I’m just responding to your initial stupid take, I don’t mean ‘hate’ as in going out and breaking car windows because they’re the bane of my existence

Yeah, no. I have a car and I hate driving it. I hate others having cars and driving them. I hate public transport being ignored over car infrastructure leaving them completely impractical. I hate our cities being ruined in order to work around cars, when metros are underground, and trains are overground but take way less space since they can take in way more people and transfer them way faster. I hate car accidents being one of the leading causes of death in my country. Fuck cars

Please state your sources…

massive hairy monkey balls

i’m stealing this lmao

Now I get you, I agree

Sadly most people are way too fucking dumb and uneducated to have nuanced opinions, but you can’t blame them fully when they’re so busy working all day that they can’t afford to spend time reading and learning from quality sources

I’m not at all saying that, but you’re free to misinterpret it as you like
