Man, I really don’t understand what the issues with Wayland are. Granted, I’m new here and a pretty basic user so there’s some underlying issue that seems to be breaking people’s setups, I guess I just haven’t encountered it. I went from using Mint for like a month before I switched to Arch. And I only did that because my second screen was acting goofy on Mint and I figured in for a penny in for a pound, let’s see why people are so afraid of this distro and haven’t had any serious issues in the past two years.

Good news

In each case the party was never united in the push, but in order to get that kind of unity, you have to change the entire makeup of the party. But in order to do that, we’d have to have a decades-long campaign to educate the public. We are kind of at the last part, but unfortunately the fascists have taken over.

I don’t think anyone in these comment sections is in decision-making circles lol. Though I am in agreement that limiting access to social media for minors would probably be a good thing. I think that could be done by removing the profit incentive from corporations to target young audiences. Like stricter laws/bans against advertising to minors

Right, so shouldn’t parents be responsible for that and not the government?

Companies make a little money selling your information. It is better to assume that any information you hand over to a private entity will be sold. It doesn’t matter if they say that it isn’t going to be at that time. Should they ever fold your information goes to the first bidder.

True, and I was just using racism as an example. I guess I also could have just said people regularly vote against their own best interests due to lack of understanding the long-term effects.

Many people, and this isn’t just exclusive to the U.S., aren’t racist, but their policy stances have racist outcomes. For instance, people fear crime or the loss or destruction of their property, so almost universally people vote for more policing, despite the lack of evidence that your suburban police department with military equipment makes you any safer.

If you want to hand out the kale next year for Halloween. No one’s stopping you.

What makes you think that I’m not extremely critical of the US government? Not much I can do there other than throw myself in front of an ice agent abducting members of my community. I’m not sure what trans jokes you’re talking about from his variety sketch show days, but if I didn’t cash those jokes then yeah I guess that is on me.

Right, and he seems to be willing to throw away the audience he built for “speaking out” in favor of a check from the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. I won’t assume what is and isn’t genuine from Dave Chappelle but to pretend like his bigoted takes aren’t a recent shift is wild. All that being said I have no stake in this argument, I was a fan and all I’m saying is that I am not surprised. Just disappointed.

The comedians Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle and others decided that alienating their fan base by accepting an egregious amount of money from the conservative monarchy of Saudi Arabia may not be in the room with us right now, probably because he’s on the other side of the Atlantic.

You mean the thing that’s currently happening?

The alt-right are easily amused

He literally does photo ops tearing down homeless encampments. If you don’t have an issue with that, then I guess he is your guy. Yes, there are quite literally worse people, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t suck.

Right, so how does xenophobia solve automation? The robot takes the job from the immigrant who allegedly took the job, meanwhile, the robber baron is laughing all the way to the bank he’s about to own.

How does a few elites creating a censored comedy festival for attendees, who can only attend the event because of the financial position they’re only in because of the Royal family, create a more progressive Saudi society?

So you really think that they’re going to allow those comedians to perform without having a once-over of their material? Also, isn’t the Saudi government already known for censoring Western media?

When did I say it’s okay? I just said this is nothing new, it’s not an anomaly. You should be outraged, but don’t act like a for-profit company isn’t going to chase profit incentives, and if they are incentivized to sensationalize, they’re going to sensationalize. If they end up making more money from an outright lie after any litigation, they’ll tell a lie.
