You should learn the difference between lacking empathy and reserving it for people that aren’t bigots.

Speaking of interesting, you should read up on the paradox of tolerance. It’s very enlightening stuff! Thanks for sharing your perspective!

How’s the view from your high horse?

I’ve learned that trying to take the high road with people that revel in bigotry and corruption is a fruitless endeavor. I’m done being naive and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps that’s because I live in the real world and actually deal with these people, rather than the pontificating about the intellectual concept of these people.

They’d be quicker to believe that tbh. Anything that lets them shirk all accountability for their own actions and justify their bigotry. Your facts << their feelings because skydaddy told them they’re special and he’s got it all under control.

Nah, if you’re so unhinged that you’re making death threats simply because someone referenced objective and observable scientific facts that your warped fairy tale reality doesn’t let you accept, there’s no “once you cut through all your regressive, batshit beliefs, we’re really the same”. There’s no reasoning with them because the delusion (e.g. “owning the libs”) is their whole identity.

There was a meteorologist in the US, in Nebraska iirc, that resigned a couple of months ago after receiving death threats for daring to mention climate change during his weather report. They’re fucking unhinged.

But if you can’t fix problems that my arise don’t use Linux.

But I thought tenant #1 of the cult of Linux was that Linux is always superior to Windows and everyone should be pushed to use it, no matter what?

Yes, but the vast majority of android phones get 2, maybe 3 if you’re lucky, and on the budget market you’re lucky if you get 2.

Both is the real answer.

Brave has its own issues, and it seems like new controversies are popping up every day or two, but you can disable those ads in settings. Or at least you could back when I used it.

The battery is only one piece of the puzzle. If the EU wants to really reduce e-waste they should also mandate a minimum of 4 years of android security updates, preferably 5 or 6.

The Kbin PWA is fine, but the native apps really give Lemmy a leg up. There are some genuinely fantastic apps like Connect and Liftoff that Kbin can’t match right now.

The UI for both is just reddit. And Kbin has a PWA that functions like a native app. The only issue I’ve found (on my phone at least), is some formatting issues with certain buttons.

If you want to check them out on mobile, just pin the mobile website to your home screen (use brave or Firefox or some other ad-blocking browser because fuck Reddit), and set up the RSS feed for notifications.
