Droid-ify is also great.

WTF is that last search result though 🫣

The first paragraph implies they’re the same thing.

Do you know what a strawman is?

Agreed on the first point. But even in progressive circles I hardly ever actually see this kind of behavior. Rather we want it to be a thing because it’s so satisfying to dunk on those ignorant and self-righteous morons.

So it’s been memed hard to the point that the term has become a favorite tool of right-wing pundits pushing culture war narratives.

Just something to consider as we accept and reinforce the trope.

Great, let’s mindlessly retread the right-wing’s favorite progressive strawmen for the lulz. Any other culture war bullshit I can feel smugly self-righteous over?

The actual complaints I see about cultural appropriation online are mostly directed at corporations trying to sell ethnic stuff. But that’s not as controversial.

The silly personal attacks are common in memes just like this one, serving as centrist strawmen to vilify progressives. People love to talk about and ridicule it so much that it seems a lot more common than it actually is.

Sharing culture isn’t cultural appropriation.

Older people rely on logic. And most interfaces are the opposite of logical.

Younger people have this idea of "press a bunch of buttons and once you see how it works, then memorize the steps ".

That’s the exact opposite of my experience.

I tried to explain Windows logically to the seniors in my family. This is a window. This is the taskbar, it shows your open windows. This is a folder, it contains your documents.

Every time we would start over with these abstractions which are supposed to make logical sense, the very foundation of Windows’ early success with casual users. None of it ever stuck with them.

They would instead write down every minor step to achieve a specific goal in a specific way, so they could basically control Windows without paying any attention to context presented on the screen. That’s the only thing that worked for them.

Yes, but don’t ask me for cake recipes. I’m not in the mood.

Have you experienced what passes for “an actual TV that plays Netflix” these days?

Miss me with that shit.

True even if your movement has pure intentions and is run mostly by capable idealists, which is rare in itself. Power corrupts.

Are they publicly traded?

What an absolutely disgusting crowd she fell in with at a young age, that poor woman. I despise these cliques of narcissistic abusers and their sycophants. Thanks for raising awareness.

It’s a matter of time before he sacks it. Kinda surprised he hasn’t already.

Does XFCE today look any less late 90s than when I tried it 10 years ago?

CEOs are almost always part owners. A large part of their massive “compensation” for all the amazing value they add to the company is usually given in the form of stocks.

Mark Hamill may not own a comb, but he does wash his hair at least.

A different definition of the term isn’t a different worldview. Also, not immediately spinning every exchange into an exhaustive debate isn’t a critical character flaw. Unlike being an insufferable ass about not getting the amount of attention you apparently feel entitled to.

Though I would take look at that poll about 80% of Christians being “essentially” Zionists if you’d link to it.

That’s an insane number. Must be a very broad definition of Zionist.
