People like you 🤡 are exhausting. Time to Just block and move on.

No, he’s illustrating that opt in is the best of both worlds here. Users get protections of privacy and advertisers get the info that they need while not being able to violate the privacy of people visiting a website.

The source is available and open for anyone to view.

The license protects the product while allowing anyone who wants to poke through the code.

“nasty license” ok dude.

Yes, it’s fully featured. No bugs that I am aware of.

It’s a really nice Lemmy app. Open source as well iirc.

Fuck me, ads much?

Time to set connect to open all urls in Firefox.

It looks amazing!

Dude for real. Wave was awesome.

The platform was wonderful. Intuitive, powerful, everything every other platform was not. Google started killing it slowly long before it died, but in its heyday it was amazing.

Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying that your experience isn’t valid, I am merely providing a counterpoint based upon my own experience.

If you were into tech, the tech people were amazing. Yonatan Zunger comes to mind. He was a backend engineer at Google and the guy was great.

I also met many people who are still friends, many of whom became real life friends too.

I even got an amazing job thanks to my contacts on g+.

The feed layout was awesome. The fact that everything got fed to rss. The fact that you could tailor posts so easily. God I miss it. Only social media I’ve ever really been a part of.

It was wonderful ♥️

The difference is that Google+ was actually a wonderful product.

But a couple years down the line Google did what Google does and destroyed it from the inside making it worse and worse until it was just a shell of what it started out being.

Jesus. Ffs. You can lead a hoe to water but you can’t make him think. Block and move on.

A very intelligent person can have some very stupid ideas. The fact that they are intelligent does not make their ideas intelligent as well. Referring to an idea as stupid is not the same as referring to the progenitor as stupid.

You do not understand how logical fallacies work. This is demonstrated by your responses.

Furthermore, saying the equivalent of x person is smart therefore they are right and as a result I am right because I invoked person x is an appeal to authority.

Ding ding, ok school is in session:

Ad hominem attack defined

An ad hominem attack is when someone tries to win an argument by attacking the other person’s character instead of addressing the actual issue or argument. It’s like saying, “You’re wrong because you’re a bad person,” instead of explaining why their idea might be incorrect.

Example

If you call an idea “stupid” but focus on explaining why the idea itself is flawed, it’s not an ad hominem attack. For example:

Not an ad hominem attack: “The plan to build a bridge out of paper is stupid because paper isn’t strong enough to support any weight.”

In this case, you’re calling the idea “stupid” but you’re explaining why it’s a bad idea based on its merits.

Ad hominem attack: “You think we should build a bridge out of paper? You must be an idiot.”

Here, you’re attacking the person rather than addressing the reasoning behind their idea.

This endeth the lesson.

He did not resort to ad hominem. He didn’t say that you were stupid as shit therefore he is right, he said that your idea is stupid as shit and explained why.

And yes, your idea IS stupid as shit. You need to brush up on logical fallacies because it’s clear that you don’t actually understand how they work.

Bullshit. Pics or it didn’t happen. You might have seen a quest, where if you stream a specific game to your friends you get a free in-game item, but these are not advertisements.

Additionally, you can click on it and tell it to never show you any more quests.

Either that or you’re bitching about discord telling you that it has added more voice channel mini games.

No free speech is not a right. Freedom of speech without prosecution from the government is a right.

No one is required to platform your stupid fucking viewpoint.

The 1st amendment ONLY allows you to say what you like and not have the government prosecute you for it. However, there are still limits to speech that cannot be prosecuted.

For example, you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater. You can’t cause a mass panic that results in injuries or death.

A private company has exactly zero obligation to platform your idiotic ramblings.

Yes, he is. People like this are divorced from reality.

He’s a billionaire or whatever. The speech doesn’t effect him in any way. He still has more resources than he could hope to burn through in multiple lifetimes. Speech literally cannot harm him.

He doesn’t understand that to all the doors, some speech can and does hurt us.

Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.
