Now this is gaming
Nah man, that’s not a river
Just read it. That is a very bad source. It does the same thing you did and just made unverified claims with no actual evidence. It also makes leaps in logic (e.g. “The word was meant to convey, at that time, the inferiority of Asian products to European products. By extension, Asians are also inferior to Europeans.”) It makes no mention of “rice boys” and so can’t support that claim either. In fact, while I’ve been doing your due diligence for the last hour, I haven’t found an appropriate historical source for any of this. Not on Google Scholar, not on Google proper, nor in my university’s library. The closest thing I’ve found for “rice boy” in particular is the dubious book of definitions that Wikipedia is using as a source for that claim. And the closest thing I’m finding for racist connotations of “rice burner” is from the book Far Eastern Tour which outlines its use in Korea by Canadians in reference to Korean support troops. Of course, the Oxford Dictionary has some information concerning the American etymology, but it is paywalled so I can’t access it.
And how dare you accuse me of rewriting history when you won’t make the slightest effort to research it yourself. What a shameful display of hypocrisy.
You’re the one who made the claim so the onus is on you to provide a source. That’s literally the most basic thing a person learns in academia. You can’t claim that “facts are facts” without providing proof of those facts.
Furthermore, you can hold Americocentric views without being American. That’s the whole purpose behind American cultural exports.
What an Americocentric attitude. Gross.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
Snap annoys the piss outta me because of the forced updates. That said, never ever had a snap package not work for me. Whereas installing some things from apt just doesn’t work for whatever reason.

They always make the devil so hot. Yes, yes, I’m very sure you’re pious.

Futo can fight Google in court, Vanced couldn’t. Even if a company has no legal ground to stand on, they can still fuck you financially with legal fees and a drawn out case.
hellofriend@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Free and open-source YouTube clients w/ no adsEnglish1·1 year agoUnless they were to stick a TOS, usage agreement, or API key requirement on Innertube then anyone’s free to use it however they like. Legally, Grayjay is in the clear here. And practically they’re fine as well since altering Innertube to block Grayjay would mean that Google would have to alter their in house processes and that costs money.
hellofriend@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Free and open-source YouTube clients w/ no adsEnglish1·1 year agoRossmann and Futo have explicitly stated that purchasing their soft is a purchase, not a donation.
Furthermore, Grayjay does not use the Youtube API and so Google has no ground to stand on.

Do you know if there’s a way to alter the player control UI? Am wanting to get into ricing and that looks like it provides a great solution for some minimalist ideas I’m having.
hellofriend@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Free and open-source YouTube clients w/ no adsEnglish1·1 year agoYeah, just OSS. Which is fine by me, frankly. In a capitalist system there are very few ways to make FOSS soft compete with closed source/proprietary. One way is to convince people to buy the soft. Another is to get industry funding. Blender is one of the best examples of this. But Grayjay can’t use the Blender model because the biggest player in the industry (Youtube) has a vested interest in keeping the app from being developed.
How’s it compare to alacritty?
Reminds me of Johnny Silverhand’s HUD colours in Cyberpunk 2077. I’d get a pic but Google is being unreliable per usual. Anyway, “Wake the fuck up, Samurai” is a quote by Johnny Silverhand from one of the game’s trailers.
