Cris@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments.English196·4 days agoFrom the text of their original post it sounds like you’re still allowed to say that. It’s worth reading the post text itself (not saying that to change your stance, I have complicated feelings about this choice by them, but knowing what they’re actually saying is worthwhile)
I have like 3 😅 and I don’t even need them cause my ifixit kit has one that’s a screwdriver bit but I don’t wanna throw them away lol

Cris@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Unable to complete training videos, because the password reset link doesn't work.English2·9 days agoThat’s the kinda shit that makes me wanna scream and put my head through the drywall 😅 I dunno why, but this specific kinda tech issue just gets me tilted faster than anything else lol
That’s very fair, that’s a consequence of using a shader based artstyle I really hadn’t considered
Lol, I really appreciate that. Drink some water and rest well man!
If you carefully read the negatives and positives he’s saying kinda the opposite of the first guy :)
I see no reason to believe that letting this guy make unilateral decisions is somehow better than taxing him appropriately and using the revenue to build public housing.
“I don’t believe letting them just spend their money this way is better than doing it with taxes”
And then even more simplified (obviously loosing nuance)
“I don’t think this is as good as doing this with taxes”
The whole man is insufficient Data, I love Data so much 🥹
People are downvoting because “retarded” is increasingly considered a slur or hateful term (just providing context, do with that what you will)
Did anyone say that it was better this way? He could just go buy another yatch instead.
No one is saying it’s better for rich people to independently spend money on charity pet projects. Appropriate taxation is better but this was still a good way for him to spend his money, it’s still good for him to help his community (he could have just spent that money on a yacht)
Dont let perfection be the enemy of better
This is a variation on the saying “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. Which means don’t reject good things just because they aren’t perfect. Perfect is an ideal that doesn’t exist, and good is still worth celebrating.
In this case, the commenter is saying that perfect would be better taxation and government programs that provide this service to the people. But a private citizen helping people with their private wealth still helps people. That’s a good thing even if it’s not the perfect ideal solution
Personally I am a huge advocate of the “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” mentality :) hope this helps and I hope you have a good day!
I fuckin love the floppotron! 🥰
Dithering is so fucking cool. At some point I wanna check out that game that uses a ton of really stylized dithering - return of the obra djin I think?
Unironically I love that so much lol

May she rest in peace.
I agree. Though the pragmatist in me also thinks it’s for the better for things to change slowly, as bad as that feels. It kinda feels like social progress moving too quickly just results in more intense backlash.
Broader culture has to be able to keep up with the change and if it outpaces them it seems like people reject the changes and it can cement the problems in place as people dig their heels in :/
I appreciate that he pushed things forward though. There’s a lot more change still that needs to happen- I’m not holding my breath but I really hope the next pope actually carries that forward.
Curious if you’re running the comic font for accessibility reasons. It’s not my taste aesthetically but I’ve heard its great for folks with dyslexia
Lovely pannel! Font might not be my cup of tea but it’s a great looking setup!
