  • When is it time to switch away from youtube?

    Jump

  • I don't disagree with anything you've said, but IMO it's not the whole story.

    You're correct that youtube is not going to be dethroned in the foreseeable future. The thing is, I don't want an open platform to replace youtube, I just want some content to be available on that open platform.

  • The Experts claim to have an answer to every question

    That's not my experience at all. "The Experts" are extraordinarily cautious to make assertions even when they're well supported. They talk about "models" and are happy to revise and update their positions when contrary evidence emerges.

    Pseudo scientists have answers for everything.

  • I hear you.

    I'd never really encountered the nutty parts of progressive politics until coming to Lemmy. Often times you don't need to say something conservative, but merely say something that challenges a poorly conceived thought bubble and you get piled on.

    There's a really strong sense of idealism here. A lot of users deal in absolutes and don't seem able to engage with the nuance of life.

  • Mozilla developing Page Buddy, a chatbot built directly into Firefox

  • Yes. For some users no AI assistant would be a barrier to adoption.

  • The guys on late night Linux talked about this a while back. I don't think it's necessarily the right strategy for Firefox, but it's helpful context.

    Basically, mozilla isn't doing this for us. We're already firefox people. They're don't it for other people, and corporations, who are not already ff users.

    I can see how something like this could diminish barriers for non users.

    For my own part I hope librewolf or some other fork excludes these features.

  • Everything you've said is the very definition of subjective - making up your own definitions for complex concepts without any regard for the meaning of those terms.

  • Does anyone actually take into account "IP Rating"/"Water Resistance" when they buy phones?

    Jump

  • People don't, but companies do.

    Company A might get a contract to do whatever thing for Company B and the contract says "all equipment brought on site by your team must be this or that or whatever IP Rating".

    It's an insurance / liability thing.

  • You're illustrating my point - that assertions about how Labor is really a conservative party, are subjective and unhelpful.

    the term regressive. It's the opposite side of conservative from progressive. For changes, but ones that make things worse

    Apparently half of voting Americans would disagree with you, as they seem to believe Trump's changes will make things better.

    My original point is, an assertion that Labor is a conservative party is essentially a "both sides" argument, which discourages people from engaging with politics. Admittedly, it's less egregious in Australia given that we have preferential voting, but it's still an annoying Americanism.

  • Megathread: Charlie Kirk Shot at Utah Valley University Event

    Jump

  • I still do not think he deserved to die.

    That's fine, but I think you can probably understand why other commenters do feel that way, given his profiting from hatred and the deaths of others.

  • If Albanese’s lost his bottle, he should retire

    Jump

  • So, by that definition Trump is a radical progressive president, probably one of the most progressive in history, given the raft of changes he's implemented in such a short time and the nation's rapid progress towards fascism.

  • Oh man. This just obfuscates the corruption.

  • Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate?

    Jump

  • Yeah, engaging with people in the comments has certainly influenced my opinion, many times. Daily probably.

  • If Albanese’s lost his bottle, he should retire

    Jump

  • They're arranged relative to how much change. If the amount of change is close to zero, that's conservative.

    Did you just make that up according to your own thoughts on progressive vs conservative ?

  • I'm not expecting Aboriginal people to all vote as a bloc, I'm expecting an Aboriginal member with (I strongly suspect) the highest number of Aboriginal constituents of any member, to represent the interests of her constituents.

    So for example, I expected the majority of her constituents to be in favor of the voice to parliament, but she was not.

    However, I freely admit that there's something going on here that I just don't understand, which is why I have posed the question.

  • I strongly disagree with this relativism

    Sure ok but that doesn't change the reality that items arranged on a spectrum are arranged relative to each other.

    If you want to reassure yourself that the items on the spectrum are too far to the right then you may do so, but it's not a very useful assertion to make.

  • Uproar as EU Parliament declines to hold minute of silence for Charlie Kirk

  • Here in Australia there's a few Trump sycophants that pull this type of stuff occasionally, or try saying "make Australia great again", and just nutters that put Trump stickers and whatever on their cars.

    The only explanation I've been able to develop is that they enjoy the reactions they get from people. In the same way siblings antagonise each other for a cheap thrill, these guys just like the feeling of antagonising people.

    Our recent election has shown that Trumpism doesn't get much love here in Australia.
