The whole capitalization of pronouns thing was pretty much entirely made up around the 19th century anyway (as well as the capitalizing the word "Lord", which the King James version invented outright), so you can argue that protestant churches are following a woke plot to change the pronouns of the christian god as well.

~/src/ Simple, effective, doesn't make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

Sometimes you really have to stop and ask yourself what the fuck is going on at Mozilla's HQ. It's insane how they manage to shoot themselves in the foot at least once a week.

Needs more red circles

Nah, some people just really suck at being assertive (and/or have really bad social anxiety).

Sounds like the person you're married to is kind of a dick, honestly. Thinking less of other people for not understanding your own unclear language just shows a massive lack of introspection. As a local autism, though, I definitely disagree with the last point, as a significant difference between someone who has autism and someone who doesn't is that language is understood differently (I would know), and that means you can both understand and be understood incorrectly very easily. This post is kind of deliberately divisive anyway, but I believe the point of saying something and being misunderstood, despite your best efforts (hopefully), still stands.

Why are you blamimg the developer team? It seems like management would be more to blame, given most of the time, they are the ones that overpromise on stuff like this, then work the developers to the bone until they inevitably fail to deliver on the absurd expectations set by their higher-ups. I'm not entirely familiar with the details for this case, but I know Take-Two are the exact kind of company that pulls this idiotic stunt with every dev team they have under their belt, as has been shown time and time again with so many games they publish.

Edit: Having done a bit of due dilligence, it seems that Intercept Games was created as a part of Private Division after they were bought out by Take-Two, which in my opinion just reinforces the perspective that the dev team had little to no say in how the game was marketed or released.

It's almost like other people exist, and almost like they're affected in a different way than you are by who is in charge of the government. Seriously though, I thought "it doesn't affect me, so it must not be a problem" wasn't supposed to be an actual argument.

I wouldn't say that's particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn't really necessarily mean it's an echo chamber though, I've seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don't see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

Lula's always been pretty good with calling out other people's bullshit around Latin America, it isn't particularly surprising that he'd do that (and the same applies to Biden). Shame that he doesn't have the courage to do the same with Russia though, even if that's more because Russia has held Brazil's agricultural market by the balls for a while now.

I wish tbh, been diagnosed for 3 years and still haven't found meds that work. I suppose that's inevitably part of it, but it sucks to just not be able to do things because my brain doesn't want to give me good chemicals.

You'd be entirely correct, and that's exactly why there's an ongoing debate in physics and cosmology as to why there's so much matter, and so little antimatter in the universe.

What does that have to do with echo chambers, exactly?

That's true, but sometimes I definitely need a little push from someone in situations like this.

Given the historical record on attempts at Mercosur-EU trade deals, this is likely to fail yet again, since the EU's agricultural voting bloc (mostly in France and Italy) doesn't really want the market to be populated by cheaper products from abroad (at least not any more than it already is). But at this point, given the several ongoing food crises that Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused, the chances for a successful agreement are about as high as they can go, so they might as well go for it.

(Do note I'm not an astrophysicist, so this may be a bit wrong, but I think the main part of it is right.) Not exactly. Everything in the universe is constantly drifting away from everything else. The reason it is pretty much only visible at the scale of galactic clusters is that literally every force in the universe overpowers this expansion, unless the distances between the objects are truly absurd, in the range of millions or billions of light years.
