Meta built and maintains a few web frameworks. That’s great. They also build and maintain a propaganda network that’s happy to work in accord with abusive governments, for profit. Which of these is a greater moral weight? I’m not gonna overlook the latter because react is comfy.
In general, posting publicly about these kinds of workarounds is a bad idea. It’d be great to share them with the world, but the sooner Youtube finds out about them, the sooner they break. Keeping the recommendations to in-person or at least in private channels helps to maintain the obscurity that allows them to exist.
I don’t care about your opinions, use windows all you want. I just find it hard to believe that the person you replied to was really just whining, that nobody else appreciated or was interested in helping them, and so they were actually just pissing and moaning. Link the thread if you want someone to take your weird implied hostility in good faith. Otherwise, yes, my paraphrasing is as valid an interpretation of what you’ve relayed so far as any other. How does that skepticism and tone-matching equate to getting defensive over your disagreeing with me?
Generic venting without supplying any details or citations is a pretty aggressive and hostile message to send, why are you surprised it’s met in kind?
I hate to break it to you, but you’re the person everyone else is talking about. You went into a special interest forum and more or less said “have you tried not caring about the subject?”.
I am! and the difference is that lemmy doesn’t seem designed to convert people to Marxist-Leninism, while Facebook seems designed to agitate and suppress meaningful discourse while simultaneously entrenching consumerism even more than ever. Mark Zuckerberg is one of those Roman Guys, you know, them, but I don’t think that the propaganda I referred to was in service of convincing everyone that Julius Caesar was rad. Mostly, these things are larger than their founders. And Facebook is still a propaganda network designed to convince people that if they leave, they’ll lose touch with all their friends.
