You sure he’s getting hoodwinked and not sharing shit he knows is fake on purpose?

Looks like your Lemmy frontend / client turned the community mention into a link so it just took me to lemmy.world, but here’s one that’s not a link: !political_weirdos@lemmy.world

The program’s path from a CP/M app by MicroPro onward is winding, being shoved into a half-baked office suite, acquired by SoftKey, which became the Learning Company, acquired by Mattel, spun off to Houghton Mifflin Riverdeep, and is now the archival property of—well, nobody’s quite sure.
Looking forward to the eventual frivolous takedown notice and/or lawsuit – suits seem to have absolutely zero brains when it comes to this stuff. Or, well, when it comes to anything except making themselves and their buddies on the board richer, really

- Comment on Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility 3 months ago:
I’d rather be informed with a popup than have to remember to periodically check the settings in case they’ve maybe added dark mode. Tying this to “advertising tactics” is, well, ridiculous – they’re informing users about a new feature they might not otherwise learn about, not selling literally anything

The same happened with the Finnish equivalent of the AfD, the Finns Party. Under 25’s are now more conservative than Millennials or iirc even Gen X which is pretty fucking wild

- Comment on X’s blue checkmarks are deceptive, rules EU ‘Verified accounts’ lack authenticity and are being abused by malicious actors in violation of the EU’s DSA. 4 months ago:
Oh yeah it wasn’t an absolute win, but they did gain a lot more seats and in general even extremist right wing parties are now much more mainstream – look at how eg. “moderate” conservatives are lining up to kiss Meloni’s ring and/or ass, and she’s a literal fucking neofascist from a party that’s descended from the original Fascist Party

While the EU definitely does have its problems and nothing is perfect, I think that for the most part it’s really been a force for good in this world, although things haven’t been looking too good recently (not just the extreme right winning in the Parliament elections, but the shit eg France is doing to migrant boats etc etc). Also it’s kept the Germans, French and the Brits from killing each other and/or the rest of us which has been terrific.
Let’s see how long it’ll survive what with the current nationalist resurgence and all. Living in the EU now sort of feels like I’d better enjoy things while they last

This is the case with literally every conservative crowing about “free speech”. They want full freedom for themselves so that no matter what they say there can’t be any negative consequences or reactions, and everybody else can get fucked and die in an extermination camp

We humans sometimes use a rhetorical device called “hyperbole” where we use exaggeration to emphasize our point, and it’s usually not meant to be taken literally.

- Comment on Why do hacked channels on youtube always post Tesla/SpaceX stuff? 4 months ago:
Uh, ok. I mean I do get what you mean, but that sounds so far-fetched that it’s a bit funny.
In any case, the Elon-related scams are pretty much always about crypto, far as I can tell. There’s absolutely a profit motive there, they’re not just doing it to piss people off
- Comment on Why do hacked channels on youtube always post Tesla/SpaceX stuff? 4 months ago:
This is absolutely it.
No, they don’t want people who hate Elon like another commenter suggested – the idea that a scammer would think that the people who are most likely to fall for their Elon crypto scam are the haters and not the people who are uncontrollably guzzling his cum is just bizarre.
- Comment on Why do hacked channels on youtube always post Tesla/SpaceX stuff? 4 months ago:
Scammers want to attract people who are gullible and stupid enough that they don’t see they’re getting scammed.
People who are “worked up” about Elon aren’t going to watch a scam video that purports to be by Elon / SpaceX / whatever and go “by golly I clicked this because I get so worked up about Elon, but he’s saying he can make me rich. Maybe I’ve been wrong the whole time?”
