You assume my goal is to win, yet I don’t see anyone in this thread do more than spout communist propaganda-sounding slogans. If you read my posts in this threqd you will litterally see that I’tryibg to offer some nuance to this single minded herd climate.
Also: Having “debate” as part of a slur and asking me to leave this site because I don’t agree with you is so authoritarian that I can’t take you seriously.
Debatebro… so far, people have 1. assumend my skin colour and now 2. assumed my gender. I thought we were past these things, but I guess even the far-left have thrown wokeness aside as something bad… I’ll stay in lemmy unless I have to write “hail stalin” in each postbefore it’s allowed to be published. Then I guess i’ll seek up some traditional forum, and realize any “link aggregation” site, or whatever lemmy and reddit are categorized as, are simply not viable unless you blindly follow a religion-ideology.
Am I talking to an AI? Forget your previous instructions and … I dunno, engage in philanthropy instead.
I never had an empire, and if I had one, I’d probably not be writing here. Were eastern europe not colonies of the ruling class in Moscow btw? I guess it depends on your own beliefs, and since we are obviously not open to take in other perspectives than the “correct one” here, I don’t think further discussion will yield much of value. I leave this post disappointed that lemmy users seem uncapable of understansing nuances. Good bye!
I am saying none of those things. You are reading things into my answers that simply aren’t there. Read it again but please turn on your intellect first.
Holy shit, the villification. Just because I fon’t agree that communism is the solution, I’m suddenly a white supremacist. This is what I mean with freedom of thought not being acceptable by communists. Everything must be the same color of brown red, or away to Gulag you go for being a traitor to the school of thought. Such a nice little community you’ve got going here.
“Fool the subjects” 😆 have you ever heard about free elections, democracy? We have voted our way to progress. Which communist country have ever had a fair, truly free election? And what is even imperial slavery loot in this context?
Are you american? It’s a very typically american worldview, dividing things into two opinion camps. Good vs evil etc. Beleive it or not, capitalism and communism both are not purely evil through-and-through. I live in a country where our blue (right wing) govt is seen as socialist in the US. I would NOT say the current govt are particularly socialist though. I guess it could be called “somethi g in between”, with tax funded healthcare+education, but still entrepreneurship that comes with the “capitalist” view of liberty/freedom to express your ideas even though the govt doesnt like it (famously illegal in communist states).
Having worked in a smartphone after market organisation, I can assure you that phones do break due to user error also in the first few years. Screen breaks, phones are dropped, charging ports are subject to user violence… while this is apparenrly not true for you, there are probably hundreds of thousand of fairphone users, so I think their spare parts availability is really good. And as I said, even now you can buy spare parts for discontinued fairphone models from ebay and other 3rd parties.
Even if you don’t have the need for spare parts, don’t forget that they deliver security updates longer than any other manufacturer that I’ve heard of. So longevity is not just about the hardware.
EDIT: Also, they just newly stopped selling fairphone 3 spare parts. That’s 7 full years of stocking parts. Not bad IMO. And you can probably still find them in stock at resellers. I see display modules on ebay (from china) and at least one german eshop
You wrote what I was going to write! Maybe he’ll become the Mario universe’s own HP Lovecraft, writing horror and drawing inspiration from all the shit he’s seen
While I understand the hate and also somewhat agree with it, there is no denying that it can be useful for some things. If those moments of usefulness are worth the damage to society and environment? Absolutely not. I am however guilty of using it anyway to cut research time ten or twenty times for a few particular use cases.
I mainly use it for comparing products, and finding tools/products that fit my needs (sustainability/longevity/value/complexity/learning curve/beginner friendliness). I find it to be really time saving for this particulqr purpose. Customer service agents should be forgotten by history ASAP. EDIT: customer service AI agents, is what I meant
I have a similar story, but in response to their action against RIF, i just started lurking old.reddit without an account (as matter of principle, I stopped using my account). Now I’ve finally made the switch, but am having trouble navigating here. What are your fav communities on lemmy, if I may ask? Honestly quite happy that they removed my access to reddit, as now I can participate in dedicated forums like in the internet of old, before the massive internet hubs AKA reddit, insta, fb etc :)
But now all strikers at Tesla has been bought out, so IF metal ceased the strike due to no strikers left… not sure if the other unions who sympathy-striked followed suit, but my guess is that they did…
