I was going to post something a bit like this too. I think perhaps a lot of people on lemmy are on board with this idea, but if I talked like that around family, work colleges, or even friends - I think I'd get a lot of pushback.

I don't think Trump's plan had anything at all to do with helping America. The tariffs are about wielding power, making threats, creating fear and division, etc.
Trump can pull the tariffs away at a time of his choosing to curry good-favour when he needs it. And since he has that control, and knows the broad effect on stock-prices, he can also use it as a self-enrichment exercise too.
In this context, 'non-violent' has a technical meaning. So we don't need to play word games with it. As for putting people behind bars without no evidence, that's not a thing that happens in rape or kidnapping cases. And in this case, the false accuser in the one going to prison.
Mozilla's recent blog posts explicitly highlight that they are investing in ads for short-term revenue growth. So when they go on to remove the ToS statement about not selling user data, that suggests to me that their strategy is in fact to collect and sell user data.
Perhaps they aren't doing that yet, but signs are pointing in that direction. So that does make me reluctant to share any data with them.
Ads make everything worse. Block them without hesitation or remorse.
and yet somehow google made it worse. Not only are there more ads than ever before, but now it's also a panopticon.
Repeat yourself? Why?
I’m confused.
Making porting gog to linux a priority which has by far the smallest market share for computer gaming is the dumbest thing anyone in this thread is saying
Building a bridge across the river is totally stupid, because no one crosses that river to get to where they are going.
Building a house on that hill is dumb, because no one lives there.
Creating that new type of device is a waste of time, because no one has ever bought one like that.
...
You see the point, right? Not that I'm trying to give business advice. I'm just saying that these things aren't necessarily as stupid as you seem to think.
It really is pretty weird. ... and interesting. I don't necessarily think the existence of filibusters is a bad thing, but it definitely a very weird thing.
Are you suggesting that this particular type of CP should be acceptable? (And suddenly "but I used AI" becomes a popular defence.)
From my point of view, the OP's comments were broadly expressing a vibe that Musk's popularity lasted too long; but I did not see the post as chastising anyone. Your post, on the other hand, was a direct attack. I don't think that was helpful in any way.
I can at least now understand why you didn't like the OP's comment, but I still think what you said was out of order.
So intimate and close, you can still smell his presence.
