That phrase “based on” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, here.

Not to mention circumvents the purpose of alt. text letting those unable to see to know what’s going on in the image.

It’s just like him to make the maximum degree of suffering the point of any inane policy decision he makes…

'Knew about the rumble; 'just did the clicks for the first time (thanks to the tip about opening my jaw).

I mean, I have to assume they meant “oppose” and just mistyped.

Understanding disability thought and theory is one of the foundations of marginalization justice but one of the most invisible such that, once you understand certain tenants, it’s impossible not to see the impact of their ideas in everything in daily life.

I mean, that’s the biggest counter-argument I’ve always seen against it. Similar to being against capital punishment: sure, you could perfectly execute (pun slightly intended) it if it was a perfect system devoid of bias and personal interest but, in the face of that lack of reality, giving that much power to the State is inadvisable on reality-based principle.

You’re assuming they wouldn’t find this agreeable to get rid of “undesirables”.

It’s the nature of conservatives to break things into simple concepts and metrics that are easy to comprehend and conceptualize because facing the nuance and complexity of reality requires work and bravery.

First I’m hearing but that doesn’t surprise me; it’s probably better than most companies you could give your money to but, in any way they could, they don’t do anything truly groundbreaking such that I can justify to myself giving money rather than just keeping said money in my pocket (and, in turn, much more likely to go to mutual aid, charities, non-profits, or coöperatively-owned or union-backed businesses).

They could have done a more traditional coöp, open-sourced their infrastructure (even if it was just the app.!), or really emphasized a particular stance or message they as a company would stand by…but they haven’t done any of those. They basically are just offering up YouTube but as a streaming service. But that doesn’t solve the myriad of issues that make a streaming service a business that (like most businesses) prey on their customers.

In the Chicago black community

I’m sorry, what‽ As a black Chicagoan, no the Hell we aren’t.

Yeah; of course. Ze’s referencing supporting Palestine (as the watermelon became more widely recognized as a symbol for them due to recent events).

For a second, I read your fruit predilection literally and was like, “Is…watermelon controversial, now? Are they [the people who banned you] cartoonishly racist?”

I follow you, now; sucks but expected…

I’ve really enjoyed ncdu (for those looking for a non-GUI option).

Truly; it’s shocking how much people are still clinging to permissive licensing in the middle of everything going on.

I was trying to see if someone else was going to mention F. D.

Shame for yours to be at the bottom; this is a good list of choices, in general. Excellent taste.

Folding Ideas is fantastic
