Again, I'm not saying you guys are wrong. What I'm saying is that the point of the meme is NOT political in nature.

They are wrong because those memes aren't politic. They are not mentioning any party or political affiliation in any way.

Do companies influence politics? Absolutely. But that's not the point of the meme.

I never said they don't have anything to do with politics you dumbfuck. Re-read my post.

You're entitled to your opinion. It doesn't make it less wrong though, the content of the memes is clearly not political.

I'm not disagreeing that some companies can have a political impact on the world.

Those memes in particular, aren't focused on the political aspects. You have to be missing a brain in order to miss the point there.

I think can answer the memes questions for you.

1. Non political
2. Non political
3. I guess it could be considered political in a way, but it doesn't target a specific party or opinion so I'd let it through.

Hum sadly on my client that option isn't there. I can only block communities or users. Can't block whole instances. :(

Might consider changing client :)

I use it on steam, for this exact purpose. So it shows in using it. The more people are using it, the more people get aware of it.

If all these people downloaded it directly and not from steam, this post wouldn't exist :)

Auto updates is interesting, didn't even consider it, but it can be both a pro and a con I guess...

You can block specific instances on an account level? Tell me more please.

Yeah I must say vulkan would've been sweet. But apple is big enough to mane metal work I guess... Time will tell, but I've never been closing to jumping aboard the apple train. Even though it kinda feels weird to me just thinking about it haha

I am a PC/Android user, always have been. I am a hard apple hater, I've tried to keep up with the new devices though, and I've also repaired them in the past. I hate apple mostly due to just not liking to be locked on my device (lack of customization but that has been getting better AFAIK), the fact that the phone feels boring, the overpricing, the not friendly right to repair, the stupid lightning ports (Thanks EU), the "elitist" feeling...

But god damn are these new SOCs making me reconsider... I was already very pleasantly surprised with the Mac computers recently. I think apple silicon is just waaaay ahead at the moment. If competition doesn't catch up somehow soon, I think apple's monopoly will only grow.

Also, AMD over Nvidia. Not saying it's better, but I'll always go team red. Just like Apple, I hate nvidia's business practices.

Yeah, I'm honestly concerned since my parents' political views changed radically the last 5~10 years or so. They were super loving and caring. Now they're very "paranoid" about things that shouldn't really leave them that stressed and xenophobic bordering full on racism. Overall gender related topics topics, random news on Facebook, immigrants...

I think that, if my parents that were so understanding and caring about everything and everyone, can somehow have their opinion change drastically in 5-10 years, what's preventing that from happening to me, or my generation, down the road? I'm not trying to say that every gen X or boomer thinks that same way though. But a lot of them have grown more "resentful" I guess...

Yeah, computers and Internet aren't their expertise so maybe they're more likely to fall for fake news and clickbaity titles designed to infuriate them and generate views.

But who knows what's coming? Maybe there's something else coming up that my generation will be too "boomer" to understand. Maybe we'll fuck up everything without even noticing we're doing it until it's too late. Maybe I'm just being too paranoid myself.
