Neither of the links work for me. The closing parenthesis still missing on both. I’m on Sync for Lemmy.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 month ago:
Again, sure, whatever your mind wants to make up and believe to maintain your superiority complex. It’s just really funny seeing how ass-backwards you are since your efforts seem more damaging to your movement than anything else. It’s almost like you don’t actually care about reducing beef consumption, only that you get to claim the moral high ground. Well, whatever. It’s not worth arguing with your ego, I got better things to do.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 month ago:
In what way? He was clearly receptive to the link given by the other guy. The fact that you only see what you want to see is the real problem here.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 month ago:
Sure, whatever you want to believe. You don’t seem to care that you’re sabotaging your own movement, anyway, so what so I care what you think.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure more animals got killed by you turning off people against the movement than I ever cause by eating beef my whole life. I barely eat beef in the first place, and most of what I eat comes from small scale local farmers. So congrats, I guess, for killing more cows than me.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 month ago:
You could certainly lead by example by not acting like an insufferable asshole and giving the movement a bad look.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 month ago:
So could the poster, but you certainly are not accusing him of trying to “gotcha” other people.

That’s not whataboutism.

If you go by that logic, most things in FOSS would be considered bad, which is not true.

How constantly does it spit out copyrighted material? Is there data on that?

You just answered your own question.
- Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies 5 months ago:
Dang, I can’t find it anymore. I swear I watched a video about an ecotank counter reset once, since I was also interested in buying it one time. I’ll have to dig into my YouTube history.
- Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies 5 months ago:
It’s funny how much worse Lemmy is at downvoting simple questions than Reddit. People on here treat every question as if it was asked with bad intentions.
- Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies 5 months ago:
Wait, I thought the counter can be reset with some specific button presses only. I’ve seen the video guides on YouTube.
- Comment on AI-Generated George Carlin Drops Comedy Special That Daughter Speaks Out Against: ‘No Machine Will Ever Replace His Genius’ 5 months ago:
Could be they are not good at telling jokes, or they wanted to use material that are more associated with George Carlin rather than them. I don’t know.
IMO, using AI voices is funnier when you make them say things the real person would never say, so I don’t see the appeal of imitating someone.
- Comment on Tesla Gets a $94 Billion Reality Check as EV Winter Sets In 5 months ago:
You’re the only one claiming to know they’ll survive. Other people are claiming nobody should know because your original argument for why they’ll survive doesn’t make sense. It’s funny how you’re now claiming to be the one that thinks the future is uncertain.

Explain what you mean by linear.
- Comment on AI-Generated George Carlin Drops Comedy Special That Daughter Speaks Out Against: ‘No Machine Will Ever Replace His Genius’ 5 months ago:
They being the writers of the joke, which are humans. The AI part is only imitating George Carlins voice and cadence.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 17 needs "a younger generation" of lead developers, suggests FF16 producer 5 months ago:
No, I love 12, so don’t even start on that.

Why?
- Comment on Nvidia CEO Foresees AI Competing with Human Intelligence in Five Years 5 months ago:
But automation encompasses more than just AI with human intelligence. For the other cases, it should be taxed and the money used to fund more social nets.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
Ah, no wonder. Yes, I was talking about Lemmy, sorry.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
You can still see their comments, unlike when your instance defederates from their instance. For some people, the ability to completely block all interaction with an instance is important.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
It’s to block all posts from that instance, which I think is not enough.
- Comment on Arch and other Linux operating systems Beat Windows 11 in Gaming Benchmarks 6 months ago:
I’ve used hearsay using my assumption of what it meant all this time, as well. Your comment at least made me look up the actual definition, so thanks I guess.

Autodesk have always competed well with Adobe at screwing over their customers.
- Comment on Arch and other Linux operating systems Beat Windows 11 in Gaming Benchmarks 6 months ago:
Is that considered hearsay or is that just anecdotal?
- Comment on You can remove Edge and Bing Search on Windows 11 even if you don't live in Europe 7 months ago:
If someone needed to be told to know Linux is an alternative to Windows, they definitely can’t do anything with a link showing 25 Linux distros with no guidance on how to choose and what the differences are between distros. That in itself shows that his comment had no actual point than to continue the Linux circlejerk amongst a community that you yourself claim is made by Linux enthusiast. I’m not sure why you’re grasping at straws trying to defend a comment that reinforces a circlejerk. Do you want Lemmy to start acting like Reddit?
But if you think that this is a wider systemic problem which needs to be addressed, then make a meta post and complain to the mods about it. Because simply whinging about it here is not going to help anyone.
I don’t agree this needs any mod action. It’s not a widespread enough issue, nor is it a horrible enough to warrant forcefully removing it. People can make those comments, they just need to know the damage they are doing to Linux desktop adoption by perpetuating the circlejerk and putting people off the Linux community.
- Comment on You can remove Edge and Bing Search on Windows 11 even if you don't live in Europe 7 months ago:
I hope the tuxangelicalists also don’t complain about the lack of Linux desktop marketshare since they constantly remind us of why it’s so unpleasant to ask for help with Linux issues with all the elitism going around.
- Comment on You can remove Edge and Bing Search on Windows 11 even if you don't live in Europe 7 months ago:
It’s not the same religious nut preaching about it everywhere, either, doesn’t make it any less annoying. It also doesn’t make it any less annoying to be preached everyday even if you live in a community based around the religion.
It’s also not about people talking about Linux. As a subscriber to Linux memes and Linux gaming communities, I have no issue with people talking about Linux. It’s when they are plugging Linux in an article that has nothing to do with it, especially in a community that is very aware about the existence of Linux, that it simply becomes a circlejerk and an attention seeking behaviour, instead of providing actually useful response to the post.
Everyone here knows Linux is an alternative to Windows, we don’t need the crazy Linux fanboys reminding us by posting stupid jokes about it on non-Linux posts.
