I believe media like super hero comics can be used to examine difficult topics like facism. That does not make the entire medium Nazi propaganda. For example Capitan America’s backstory is clearly an allegory for America hiring German scientists after the war.

Guy in a thread where the topic is poptarts: “You just say everything you don’t like is poptarts!”

I am specifically arguing that the character Captian America is not inherently fascist. You keep asserting he is without providing any examples. All while throwing in ridiculous strawman arguments.

If you believe all super hero comics are inherently fascist, I’m not sure this is a productive conversation.

Did you even read your own link?

“Disagreement is treason” – fascism devalues intellectual discourse and critical reasoning as barriers to action, as well as out of fear that such analysis will expose the contradictions embodied in a syncretistic faith

I posted an exact panel from the source material showing you the character standing against one of the principles of fascism, and you still called it Nazi propaganda? Maybe you should start using your brain instead of calling everything you don’t like Nazi propaganda.

Where exactly does a Captain America comic argue for creating more super soldiers? You think the characters backstory overrules everything he says or does? You said I’ve done “zero reading” but you didn’t even respond to the comic panel I posted, you’re not interested in a conversation, you just want to preach at me

What are you talking about man? Of course all Super Hero stories are propaganda, but Nazi propaganda??? Do you even know what that word means?

That sounds like Nazi propaganda to you? I don’t care if you want to shit all over corporate media, I’d probably even agree with you, but this take just isn’t it

Propaganda does not inherently mean something is wrong. Capitan America was created as propaganda to encourage the US to join WWII.

Captain America’s creation as an explicitly anti-Nazi figure was a deliberately political undertaking: Simon and Kirby were stridently opposed to the actions of Nazi Germany and supporters of U.S. intervention in World War II, with Simon conceiving of the character specifically in response to the American non-interventionism movement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America

More recently, the character has certainly been used as propaganda for American nationalism in meme culture

I might be out of the loop, but wasn’t that lawsuit based around publishers not being able to sell steam keys for cheaper than the price on steam? In my mind that seems perfectly reasonable since valve is paying for the steam services that are needed to turn that steam key into a playable game.

It’s hard to have a productive conversation when I bring up a specific example of Epic being scummy, but then you wave vaguely at allegations made in an ongoing lawsuit

It doesn’t seem like you’re paying attention… Steam didn’t buy the publisher of a popular game, and have it removed from the Epic game store so that it could be their exclusive. That was Epic and the game was rocket league. If epic wanted to compete “from a consumer’s point of view” they would make a better product than steam, but their store is still missing features

Why wait for the future? You could have just pitched some of those features…

You might want to explain to your potential users what podcast 2.0 features are… I’m sure you’ve been living inside podcasts while working on this, but normal people have no idea what that term means

I use Koreader on android with scrolling, also side loaded it on my Kobo e-reader (but I prefer paging on eink) you might be able to get it on kindle too

I’m basically running this setup with Unraid as my hypervisor. It’s definitely doable, but takes a lot of tinkering to get everything up and running and games with super strict anti cheat won’t run at all. I would only recommend going this route if you really enjoy tinkering, I’d say finding a cheap second hand PC for your NAS is probably much less work.

There are some truly great apple products, so I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss them all as terrible. But they are overpriced across the board. They also have a habit of anti-consumer practices like giving you a worse experience if you don’t exclusively use apple products.

Valve makes infinitely more money off of store fees selling other people’s games. Why would they want to make a fraction developing a single game when they can go after Android’s 30% cut?

Pretty sure China has actually been a part of Taiwan for 2000 years

In any modern IDE “dredging through old commits” means clicking a single button to see who last changed the line. From there it often makes sense to go look at the PR to see a higher level of what was changed. You cannot include all of that context in a single comment.

Is this your brain on AI?

Their biggest problem is they have to brainwash their users into thinking their product couldn’t have just been an app.

Is it? The only difference between them and you is that you’re not paying attention to the clock
