- Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole. 1 week ago:
It happens with almost any latin american community in the USA. It happens with almost latin american community on internet.
For example, r/Colombia or r/Bogota are huge echo chambers of daddys’s boys, neoliberals and even cardboard-colored neonazis who don’t have a grasp about the complexities of the country and seem to live in a bubble. i.e. they make fun of people who don’t have Netflix… on a Country where less than 50% of people have internet access, not everyone has a TV and there are places where you only can tune a couple of AM radio stations.
Pretty sure something similar happens with almost every latin american country community on the internet or in a so-called “first world” country.
That being said, some Venezuelans deny criminal organizations like “Tren de Aragua” are real or that venezuelans are running them, be Maduro supporters or not. But they’re real and are extorting and killing people in other countries in Latin America. This is not to say every venezuelan is a criminal, but not every venezuelan is a saint.
Our countries’ reality is way, way more complex than people in the USA realize.

OpenBSD people and those who don’t like “bloat” seem to like DEs like CDE.

I’m no native english speaker either, but have seen people bitching about the supposed lack of design in KDE so I felt I needed to ask

Can’t tell if in that last part you’re talking about KDE/Plasma or about Windows 11.
- Comment on Banana 2 months ago:
As much as I love potatoes and that they came from this little corner in the world, unlike bananas they have to be cleaned up. I know this because my father grew potatoes all of his life. Alas bananas won in that aspect.

- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 4 months ago:
Why not include south America in there too?
Almost nobody here gives a flying fuck about education quality. If we were to talk about education injustices we could argue about how the USA stole the name of the continent for theirs and you people don’t seem to like that talk…
But in all seriousness I guess we as Latin America/South America don’t have that sense of unity as Africa does. We are absurdly diverse and I think it has taken a toll in our sense of identity

I’d completely understand that, though
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 5 months ago:
I concur - I agree with the sentiment, but this seems so… pointless. Remember the Reddit blackouts? Some people migrated to Lemmy but I doubt the number of new members ever increased in the same proportion as it did in those days, some horrible mods were sacked (like u/awkwardtheturtle from r/art) and some subs were closed by their mods, but Reddit just reinstantiated those subs to another admins (r/unexpected on the top of my head at the moment) and… shit’s even worse than ever and they keep earning their profit as usual, if not even more. In the end the “protests” and blackouts did absolutely nothing for them.

I suppose it’s like asking a biologist what type of dishes would they do with a plant species they just discovered

It’s because they think being dumb makes them though.
