Let’s not forget that China is actively engaged in political and information warfare against the West. Any hypocrisy they can point out will just contribute to the fracturing of alliances between the West and the rest of the world. So it very much benefits them, strategically and financially, to point out stuff like this. Not that I think the people of Gaza will care about the selfish reasons a superpower might have for speaking up for them

Read it so you don’t have to: It’s a troll.

Block and move on.

10p for a Fredo could’ve had the same effect on me once

No but I’d like to. I’d unironically join a supportive Linux noob community. One where we can also complain without fear of reprisals

This is actually hilarious. It looks like the entire sub is just people posting anti-Linux memes and being downvoted to death

For Lemmy just replace racism with unsolicited Linux advice

What?? The last bullet point is literally the subject of the thread you’re on. The picture in this post is from Musk campaigning for the AfD which is a far-right German party that is well-known for being antisemitic. I can’t tell if you’re utterly clueless or trolling right now.

Which half? And please provide some examples.

If I ‘accidentally’ did a Nazi salute, as a non-Nazi I would spend the next week:

• Making clear that I do not agree with Nazis
• Rejecting praise from Nazis calling me ‘based’
• Not tweeting out a series of Nazi puns
• Not campaigning for a far-right anti-semitic German party

If I did the opposite of all these things it would be because I want everyone to know it was no accident. Anyone still saying ‘who knows what he means by any of it’ after this week is either a lying POS, bought and paid for, or just thick as a cement brick

The difficulty is asking people to get started with this. People want to get to work/navigate as quickly as possible to where they need to be, they don’t want to be figuring it out. Social media can be janky and you’ll be patient, but if you’re late for something because you’re struggling to adjust to an app you’re more likely to go back to Google/Apple Maps

Kanye still gets features and collaborators despite his Nazi turn. All the major rappers associated with him chose silence over condemnation. Biggie would most likely make the same choice with Diddy

The '90s was 30 years ago. In the '90s the '60s were 30 years ago, so I think the analogy holds up

Productive procrastination is the only way I get anything done

I assume they only ever watched the awful 2001 version, which has a more faithful ending to the original Planet of the Apes book than the 1968 film. In the book it’s also an alien planet, rather than Earth.

They probably never bothered to watch the 60s film and just assumed that they knew what was happening because the ending is so iconic and has been widely parodied for 50+ years.

It’s really not about revenge. It’s about taking back power from corporations and giving it to the people. Right now, political power is with the highest bidder and these companies know it.

They are using the money from advertising to lobby and buy politicians, which is what stops us from having sensible regulations for social media. Taking away that revenue stream inhibits their ability to do this, so it’s a win for the people

Except many advertisers don’t want to be associated with damaging things. So this has an impact on advertising revenue for social media companies and they would absolutely view this as a blow to their public image.

We need to break them up, and legislate against their practices for the future but this is something that can happen right away and hit them in their pockets
