I mean, that’s why BBC, NPR, NHK, etc. exist. And the result is that in a lot of ways it is more reliable than for profit news, but at the same time they’ll never really bite the hand that feeds (aka government, more specifically the Dems in NPR’s case.)
I audibly laughed.
In the context of Lemmy, my best explanation is that tankies hate Orwell.
Every other time I’ve encountered this argument, it’s been an argument in favor of racism and xenophobia, often a Nazbol argument like “socialism only works if no diversity.” It’s my instinct to refuse it.
But I couldn’t deny that, American conservatives and liberals + leftists, on the mental level, live in different realities, with not only different core values and worries, but different ideas of what is actually happening (and no, I actively believe American leftists do not live in a fundamentally different reality from American liberals the way conservatives do from liberals + leftists.)
So many of the people who are most invested in federation are a contradiction in terms; centralized social media is evil and it’s fucked up that it’s the norm, but also anyone who isn’t a cynical, crotchety Gen Xer with a tech degree doesn’t belong on federated social media.
Yes, but that’s keeping in mind that, contrary to popular belief among the types that go on Lemmy, most people aren’t ideological. They don’t care that Democrat A is this and Democrat B is that, they care about who they think will help their lives, ideology be damned. So, a lot of the people that socialists would call “libs” would vote for Bernie, BUT, most of those people think of Sanders primarily as “more liberal.”
People who are actively aware of the difference between neoliberalism and social democracy, I’m not sure. But I honestly think they’re a rounding error in US politics.
The problem is that the way we talk about dating has been dominated by people with a political agenda.
Because 10 year olds have been talking about dating longer than red pill has been around. Not dead seriously, but they’re not unaware.

“Sigma” sure, but saying “rizz” (etymology: short for charisma) is red pill is like saying talking about dating at all is red pill (and black Americans used it before Kai Cenat made it mainstream.)
Do not use the Trump victory as an excuse for an unfettered fear and disdain of young people unless you wish for more news like it.
I could believe that the Switch Joycons and the PS5 DualSense have a reason to cost as much as they do if it weren’t for the fact that the Xbox One/Series X controller, which is functionally identical to the 360 controller, which wasn’t that different than the Original Xbox controller, costs the same as the DualSense.
Stick drift wasn’t a huge issue before the latest gen.
Nixon (also Reagan and Johnson) severely damaged it, Trump is just the end stage.
If the Communists are willing to do what they say we need to do. This is a big “if” that I don’t see any evidence for.
PSVR2 died because it’s not backwards compatible with PSVR1.
Half Life Alyx is like if we got Super Mario 64, and then four years later the games influenced by it just didn’t come.

I just think it’s a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy’s creation and growth aren’t exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.
The thing is, we know Nintendo does have in-house developed emulators that they used for Virtual Console and then NSO and the Classic Edition.
It’s fairly likely they didn’t take the effort to port those to PC for the museum, but still.
He strikes me as more a rube that occasionally picks up alt-right talking points than a dedicated follower. At least on one occasion he called out Moon, a shitty right wing video essayist, for lying, but he went really hard on anti-Sweet Baby Inc. content.
So I guess he could unintentionally? But intention doesn’t really matter here. His fanbase probably leans right too.
Nothing like this should ever rely on an external server.
