yeah, in that sense i don't trust them either. they may not be openly evil but it's a matter of time before this becomes more obvious. i feel this way about discord also (it annoys me sometimes but it's still usable, but i know this won't last long). let's hope people come up with a better alternative soon
i only found out about open source culture this year as i was looking into the fediverse (i don't know much about tech) and it has given me a lotta hope 🤗
why is canva evil, exactly? i use it sometimes /honest question
also, financing brutal dictatorships in other countries in the last century while trying to stop the advances of "communism", including brazil, where i live. thousands of people ruthlessly tortured, kidnapped and killed where i live for "political reasons".
there is a pocket star trek novel i can't find a physical copy for less than 100 US dollars called "a stitch in time". for some reason they won't reprint it (they released an audiobook recently but i don't personally like reading books that are not physical paper books).
omg this is it I found THE best lemmy community
I heard J.K. Rowling is actively looking to make people forget about the old cast bc they are supportive of trans rights.

Well, someone murdered the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and it is alleged that this guy named Luigi Mangione did it. The media went into a frenzy trying to make us hate Luigi, but since most Americans experience what is like to live under a system that treats healthcare as a way to make profits, nobody did. They even tried framing this as a left x right issue instead of a class issue but even many people on the right didn't think Luigi did anything wrong. Luigi is also a conventionally attractive dude, so it's hard for the media to play with people's preexisting prejudices. After many attempts, they seem to have decided the best approach to this was to suppress all speech on the matter. They are trying to frame this murder as an act of terrorrism and seem to be very scared of the public response to this. Reddit is trying to ban any mention to Luigi (even Nintendo related ones), and also has banned many people who did as little as upvote a comment related to him.
Kind of a lot 😅
You mean you weren't familiarised with the Luigi Mangione story?
I use Cinnamon too. It shows the thumbnails on the folder itself, but when accessing it through other apps/sites it only shows in this list format.
