“man”?

Fascism is more of an approach than a specific ideology. Its only core value is Strength Through Unity - but to achieve that it needs some populist values to unite the people over - which is how you get different flavors of fascism. The original Fascist Party was using nationalism. Racism is also a popular choice (fascism + racism = Nazism), and it seems like rightist values are more prune to it - but leftist values are not safe either, like we have seen in the USSR which based its fascism around socialism.

Conservatism can be a base for fascism, but like all these other values - it doesn’t have to be fascist. The rule is simple:

• If you want The Gays™ to just stop - that’s regular conservatism.
• If you want a strong leader to “stop” The Gays™ - that’s fascist conservatism.

Dragons live even longer than elves. They can’t be bother to properly learn the spelling of all the words every time a human civilization destroys itself and a new one rises with a new language.

So… I’m safe from deep fake?

If you choose RC Cola, you get RC Cola. If picking a soft drink was like the elections, you wouldn’t want to choose RC because you’d still get Pepsi or Coke and you’ll just be throwing away your ability to influence it to be the one with the lower concentration of cyanide.

Last time Europe sent people to “help” America it didn’t end well…

Don’t boast about “defeating pride” in your engagement photo unless you had to wrestle lions to get her to say yes.

What do you mean by “improving”? This alarming warning appears because Firefox requires permissions. Let us look at the permissions listed there:

1. “User device access”. From the docs, I’d say the browser needs it for rendering?
2. “Download folder read/write access”. This one is obvious - the files you download with your browser go there.
3. “Can access some specific files”. This one, I’ll admit, is a bit cryptic - what files does it need to access? But this one is on Flatpak for making the permission so general.

App permissions should not be about “this app cannot be trusted because it asks for scary scary permissions”. They should be about “take a look at the list of permissions the app requests and determine whether or not it make sense for such an app to need such permissions”.

Wouldn’t work. The law clearly specifies the exact text, and it’s in English.

How is Wingdings “easily readable”?

Nearly every app should have a warning

No. If you put a warning on every app (except for the most trivial ones that don’t actually do anything useful) then the warnings mean nothing. The become something more than ass-covering legal(ish) BS.

The text of the Ten Commandments … shall be printed in a large, easily readable font.

Comic Sans it is.

Not me. I make the effort to get out of bad, go to the couch, sit on it, and dissociate there instead.

We’re going towards a dystopia…?

I mean…

Not with that kind of attitude!

Sorry. Terrible wording on my part.

My argument is that instead of attacking Valve for being big, you should attack them for doing bad things. Your “other comment in this thread” (I assume https://lemmy.world/comment/10668748 ?) describes an aggressive practice done by Valve. Why not lead with that? The problem is not the size of these companies per se, but the way they’ve reached that size and the way they weaponize it against competitors. Focusing on attacking the size and the monopoly status of the companies is just saying “it’s not okay to be successful”.
