Oh, were they able to resolve the legal issue they had with the Spotify API? Really glad to hear that.

NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can Visa and MasterCard be sued for this censorship debacle?English3·2 months agoFor my part, I have seen several people highlight the role of Collective Shout in the whole mess (at least in Spanish-speaking sites). But you’re right, in situations like this, fire is fought with fire.
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can Visa and MasterCard be sued for this censorship debacle?English2·2 months agoThose kinds of technicalities are so damn annoying.
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can Visa and MasterCard be sued for this censorship debacle?English6·2 months agoAnd it would be a good argument, because they wouldn’t be wrong.
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can Visa and MasterCard be sued for this censorship debacle?English6·2 months agoSo no private company can be held accountable for censorship? That’s pretty messed up.
NONE@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•You are born 250,000 years ago, one of the very first modern humans to roam the earth. What's on your to-do list?2·3 months agoGo with the gatherers, fuck the hunters, it better be someone else who ends up eaten by Saber-Toothed Tigers.
I abhor violence, both witnessing and exercising it, but I accept and support it if it is used as a form of defense against abuse, whether systematic or personal.
In short: I personally would not set fire to an ICE vehicle, but I would applaud anyone who did.

NONE@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you believe that most people act according to their own self-interest? Is acting only according to your self-interest a good strategy in life?1·3 months agoAnother point is that if all people just act for their own self-interest, they will have a better life themselves, and if everyone does the same, some sort of proper balance will be achieved.
Hmmm, I don’t know… I think that kind of “balance” you talk about is obtained rather at that middle point between the individual and the collective interest.
I think we all act to a greater or lesser extent according to our interests, the problem I see is that we have this idea that life is a zero-sum game, where others must fail for one to succeed, that’s where the conflict comes from, because not everyone can win, there are more losers than winners. A cure for this mentality, I believe, is precisely to think about the collective interest understanding it as “what benefits my community also benefits me”, it is to achieve individual benefit through collective work and cooperation, if everyone wins I also win.
NONE@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If someone said “humans suck, but nature is a perfectly beautiful creation 😍” what examples would you think of that show nature being (1) independent of humans and (2) brutal and grotesque?2·4 months agoAny documentary that talks about the life of insects and smaller animals is a horror film.
NONE@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever said something so incorrect or irrelevent nobody corrected you?19·4 months agoIn a presentation the professor asked me a question that, thinking about it today, I answered incorrectly, but I did it with such conviction, even after the professor questioned me again, that in the end he left me alone, gave me a good grade and even some classmates asked me advice.
Moral of the story: confidence is stronger than the truth. If you see someone very confident in what they say, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are telling The Truth.

Not doing something considered for women (like cooking, cleaning, sewing, etc) doesn’t make you more of a man, it makes you more useless.

“Separating the art from the author” is mostly an excuse to not feel discomfort or guilt about enjoying a work.

Nostalgia is only bad if it leads you to unbridled consumerism. Better to use nostalgia to create new things.

OK, now we’re into something…
It is true that it is problematic for the whole population to intervene even in aspects they do not fully or partially master. It makes more sense for the experts to decide in a democratic way than for the expert to make all the decisions, the former is democratic, maybe limited, but democratic after all; the latter is pure and simple Authoritarianism.
Still, I advocate that the commons have at least a notion, however basic, that the experts are voting. Ignorance and lack of transparency are the points that make the population easily manipulated, because they think “Why pay attention to this supposed expert who tells me nothing or at best gives me a half-baked complicated explanation? I prefer to listen to the flatearther who does not take me for a fool and gives me easy to understand explanations”.
Yeah, me neither. Maybe because it wasn’t a post perse but a modification of the main page that they modified again? I don’t know if github saves previous states of a modified page.
