UK ones are like that too. They're not all the same picture as above, they show some pretty gnarly stuff.

I said OP knew exactly what kind of arguments this would spawn. And I believe that to be correct. It was inevitable.

Perhaps you're right. There's no point talking to a hateful bigot for me either.

And for what it's worth, you don't need to tell me about your right to do that. You can either simply not reply, or you can block. You don't need my consent.

They only did that because they were forced by AMD's VRAM choices and unexpectedly great RDNA2 architecture.

Because of the memory bus that the 3060 had, it essentially had to have either 6GB of VRAM or 12GB, and it'd have looked stupid next to AMD with only 6GB, so they changed it to 12GB fairly late on in development.

It led to the bizarre situation of the 3060 Ti (based on the 3070 die) having less VRAM at 8GB.

So yeah, less that they didn't want to price gouge, more that AMD was giving 12GB for similarly priced cards that were also much faster, and Nvidia knew that 6GB would look like a joke in comparison.

But it doesn't change how FOSS networks [...] are very leftist.

FOSS is essentially software socialism. It's not surprising many of the people who love it espouse those ideals in other aspects of life.

Idk about that

Yes you do. I can see your post history on the topic. You know they've been censoring opposing viewpoints.

but they're at least claiming to be removing censorship so let's see how it goes

Claiming to be doing that then verifiably censoring political persuasions they don't adhere to. Clearly following the Elon Musk school of being free speech absolutists.

(not too well so far)

Well at least you're aware of it.

Hostile? Exaggerated in my opinion.

Well facts don't really line up with your opinions, I guess. They were and are being hostile to LGBT people.

I support letting anti-LGBT and other anti- people speak in a not toxic way

Ummm... How? Legitimately how is that possible? Being anti-LGBT is inherently being toxic. What does that even mean?

It's an impossible position. You cannot be anti-LGBT without being toxic in the same way you cannot jump into a pool of lava unscathed.

And you say they can deal with people who think differently?

Not really

But you initially said they could?

but this is how FOSS networks (Revolt and Lemmy in particular) made me be so like I'm not sure who's at fault here and it's not really the topic anyways.

Of course. You're not at fault. Nothing is your fault. It's those damn other people who made you this way.

What? I'm very well aware of the fears people, especially women, have at going out alone at night. It's completely reasonable to feel fear in situations like that.

What's your problem?

Predominantly other men. But that doesn't make it ok.

Relax, David, you might get attacked or killed on your way back from work, but I don't feel sympathy, because it'd probably be done by another man.

The reality is anybody can feel unsafe at night, and everyone is valid in thinking so. Women generally feel more threatened because, despite being far less likely to be targeted, they're also far less likely to be able to resist their attacker, which is also very reasonable.

Almost like this is a submission specifically posted to elicit that exact response. OP posted this knowing it would be a heated topic.

I think the older people are too addicted to give a shit and younger people would just find it amusing.

I don't know how effective it has been, but the UK goes out of their way to make the packaging look really shit.

Standardised packaging with distasteful colouring, bland fonts, health warnings. I hope they do the same with vapes (although disposable vapes are being banned so that's cool).

That first story is very worrying.

Facebook certainly has a lot of issues but it's way better for the mental health of sane individuals who can deal with disagreements imo.

That's not what Facebook is like at all.

Have you considered perhaps that you're simply more aligned with their (right-wing ranging to outright fascist) opinions?

Facebook as a company was literally doing stuff like censoring #democrats and started being openly hostile to LGBT people days ago. And you say they can deal with people who think differently? Lol

Ireland put out condolences to Hitler after he killed himself. They also treated Irish who went overseas to fight Nazis like absolute shit, many of them to such an extent that they moved country after the war.

Obviously now is a very different time to the 40s, but there are still some circles in Ireland that have... questionable... views on Jews.
