uBlock Origin is also not piracy, but it is the real way to block

I’d say it’s a matter of what are the chances of bad advice. If something people on the internet are talking about is widely known, there would also be papers with research, and I’m better off reading that. If it’s a niche stuff, their talk on the internet doesn’t bear statistical significance anyway.

Sure, there are scammers and incompetent doctors, but I would rather ask several people with a medical license, than several thousand laymen that think they are competent enough to give advices

Albeit talking face to face is only a necessary condition, it’s not enough for trusting the person to advise you

It errs on the passive side too much 😅

I think the point was more along the lines of “it will be hard, but you [the recipient] will have to write your subordinates to cut the crap”

Indeed, but most people will not hear it anymore as they don’t use business phones, same as ordinary landline phones

Necromancer

I first read it

has anyone ever told you F

And thought it was going to be a joke continuing OP’s thought 🫡

I don’t know, there really seems to be less Palestine news on Lemmy lately. Also, this likely depends on what sources one chooses to get the news.

I wouldn’t say that nobody cares, and most of the listed genocides do get attention now and then, it’s just too much for people, just as others said

I agree for the most part

It’s just I wish indie could somehow be a developer that also receives enough money during the making of a game. Because passion is often not enough, and it doesn’t seem like that’s impossible because there’s no money to give ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t know if what I said makes sense 😅

I wish you were right, but it may be so that things have changed quite a bit in forty years since Nintendo happened. Indie games of huge quality and popularity still happen, but it looks like they take a lot more time and effort

Not an American, I would guess that blackface in particular looks more like a roughly made mock. And then I can see why mocking others based on skin colour can be seen as racist.

I would say that tanning usually looks more natural (even in failed cases), that’s why it would not be seen as racism, in worst case it would look like a person made a laughing stock of themselves in case of poorly applied tanner.

Then again, it is still just a guess, as I am not from the US

Yeah, it makes a nice deception, and is legally ok, or at least they thought so

In the long run everything might be false, even your own memory changes over time and may be affected by external forces.

So, maybe there will be no way to tell the truth except when experiencing it firsthand, and we will once again live like ancient Greeks, pondering about things.

To be fair, I hope that science and critical thinking might help to distinguish what is true or not, but that would only apply to abstract things, as all the concrete things might be fabricated

… I am your father

since they can’t legally harvest data

Oh, poor little things 🥺

Not trying to become an expert in everything was the most important decision I made so far, I think

I half agree about fun, think it depends on how often clients want some weird shit done yesterday, it becomes a nightmare if it happens too often :(

The biggest scam about programmers is they barely program

He’s got a point, though, the further you go, the less time you spend inputting code. Although some people prefer to continue going head first and then remaking everything.
