I think you’re right that Canadians and Mexicans know this and still want to be friends, but it doesn’t matter. The United States has officially and democratically become hostile to them, and they’re going to have to change the way they think about the relationship. An America that can’t be trusted reliably simply can’t be trusted.

Edit: But this doesn’t mean further conflict is inevitable! The sane citizens of each country will just need to work around the problem.

I don’t think they feel betrayed by Trump, but rather the United States. One of their closest friends just declared economic war on them for no reason. The shattering of trust isn’t less painful because they had advanced notice.

Tildes has this feature, and I love it. There are a bunch of tags that can be applied to comments, both of the “this is a brilliant contribution” and “this is noise/low effort/silly” varieties.

In general, Tildes culture is high effort, but there’s still room for fun. It’s nice to see each platform innovating.

I agree that some people need harder tones, but I don’t think anyone needs the abusive language that Linus used. If that feels like the only option, I think it probably means the person has gaps in their social toolbox.

One of the lesser known, possibly reformed(?), Facebook billionaires gave them a bunch of money several years ago, and they’ve been trying to bootstrap that into long term sustainability via donations from regular people.

Edit: See duplexsystem’s comment below for a better summary.

Wow, you weren’t kidding! Makes me think it’s a sketchy add-on, even if it’s not.

Thanks for being perhaps the only comment here trying to be helpful to those who aren’t deeply familiar with the conflict.

I think an important emphasis here is that people shouldn’t accept explanations of the situation that make things easy to understand.

Do you find that the mobile Logseq app takes ages to open, or is my phone just too old? I really want to like Logseq, but it wasn’t snappy enough.

I can relate to this so I’ll just add that aligning my diet with my values was the best decision I’ve ever made. Being able to eat without feeling guilty/confused/complicated was life-changing. I didn’t do it all at once, or torture myself.

And we live at this amazing time when you can be lazy AND get amazing not-morally-horrible food! Typing this as I munch on an entire package of addictive store bought animal-free chocolate chip cookies :P
