  Yikes, you really can’t see the difference between cheating on your partner and telling very inappropriate jokes?

  Violating someone’s privacy doesn’t suddenly become OK just because they’re a shitty person…

  Not to mention the rise of vehicle violence, running over protesters and such.

  It’s the only good way to do VR. Otherwise it’s just a gimmick.

  Same as always. There is no technology capitalism can’t corrupt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the person you replied to but I also used to be a hardcore Christian convertitive.

  Honestly just talking to people with different viewpoints than me. Back when Reddit was decent I would troll with conservative BS to get a rise out of commenters, but occasionally people would reply with points I couldn’t refute. Making IRL friends helped a lot too. I realized people actually have nuance in their opinions and there’s a lot more gray area than I realized. Leaving relgion was the last step for me. Once my identity was no longer my beliefs I was able to change them.

  Its part of what scares me about the internet now, we all get locked in little echo chambers. Nobody’s viewpoints get challanged and there’s no honest debate any more. Defederated social media will only make it worse as there will be 10,000 different Lemmys, each one for an exactly specific set of beliefs that will never be questioned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Leftist ideology is at its core about people. Even when it is wrong, it’s wrong trying to help people.

  The right is just about power. The only mistakes it makes are actions that cost it power.

  If my goal is maximum readability, making a font less readable for any reason is a mistake

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not for readability it isn’t

  It’s a deanonymization attack. You know which users opened the message by seeing when the unique image URL was accessed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get your new PebbleOS watch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did they add a heart rate monitor? I know the originals didn’t have them. Otherwise Pebble was the perfect smartwatch.
