I’m surprised to see a comment on a post from so long ago but yes, it was an incredibly blatant display.

Because I do not want Microsoft to have access to all my documents.

That’s not how cloud save works! …

You need to explain why you think the second statement refutes the first.

It’s the latter, counter point; the tool never would have existed without the unethical scraping.

Then maybe they should choose their words more carefully, because that is not what their words portray

That’s a fair point, I agree.

Oh, I was genuinely curious — this very same argument can be used when talking about guns. This very same argument is used when talking about guns.

This wasn’t an attempt at a strawman, I’m merely drawing parallels. To say that this one topic is one where Lemmy focuses on the tool and not the people using them is false.

What are your views on gun control?

In a causal sense, yes. In a ‘the average person is fucking stupid’ sense, no.

Can’t argue with that

Yeah, they’ll just make substandard garbage themselves.

That Time I got Isekai’d into a World Where Everything is a Woman!

Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.

The hypocrisy is palpable.

Yes everyone know’s a Canadian’s shit doesn’t stink and the country definitely doesn’t have it’s own fascism problem.

Oh I just assumed that every Conservative jerks off to kids

I have a sneaking suspicion you’re in the wrong post dude

Huh, I’m amazed - I wasn’t exposed to any of that. I’d only seen the memes about it afterwards.

What happened with Snakes on a Plane? I’m only aware of the movie.

As always, trust but verify. I was telling people here for months that Kamala hadn’t won yet and everybody needed to get out and spread the word on Project 2025.

We saw what happened, and we see a lot of opinions here on Lemmy. Trust but verify.

Copyright law is messy. Thank you for the elaboration.

Doesn’t quite make sense.

You’re telling me that someone can get popped for mistakenly visiting the dark side of the internet and having whatever-the-fuck horrible shit put on their machine, but owning the content and hosting it on your servers results in nothing?

I respect that, I just try to provide context. It’s often misinterpreted, and I do succumb to emotional responses — but my goal is to make sure those that are justified approach their goals with a clear mind.

I’m not advocating for the rich. I just want people to make the right decisions when it inevitably comes to the point where we need to decide what to do with the rich. I don’t think we should treat GabeN with any more respect than we owe the poorest person, is all.
