I read it too fast that I thought TorrentFreak was down. 😅

I’m not saying it’s a literal witch hunt. Never heard of metaphors and figures of speech?

And just shouting “your opinions suck!” and running away is hardly productive to a healthy discussion. If you have any counter-arguments to the topic at hand (the individual “likes” being hidden on Twitter/X), feel free to present them.

I think people with ridiculous views should not have an issue with being ridiculed for those views.

You’re under no obligation to agree with another person point of view. But, if you’re presenting your arguments in good faith, you should be prepared to listen to the person you disagree with in good faith also. If you immediately disregard what others have to say just because you think it’s “too ridiculous to consider”, or throw the ad hominem starter pack: bigot, nazi, far-right, trumper, etc, then you’re just insulating yourself in a bubble in the best case scenario, or showing you don’t have the capability to articulate your argument effectively in the worst case scenario.

It really feels like you’re the immature bunch, trying to hide who you are because you’re too fragile to own up to it if it’s being scrutinized.

It’s not a matter of trying to hide anything for the sake of it. It’s just that some people use the free availability of a user’s previous posts/likes as a shortcut for “whataboutisms”. You may disagree with other posts I made, but what is being discussed here is the reasonableness of individual “likes” being public or not.

I think the crude scrutiny of a persons past posts to be, in many cases, dishonored. The person being scrutinized may have changed their views since then, specially when the post is years-old.

If you disagree, you’re free to offer your counter-arguments.

You have just proved right there why current internet users in general don’t have the maturity to have likes publicly visible. The urge to do a witch hunt is just too irresistible.

She said she regrets not having publicized her opinions on this subject earlier, so if her likes wouldn’t have exposed her, her subsequent retweets certainly would.

When cancel culture was not on full throttle, maybe likes being public made more sense. If only the global like count is the more widely known metric, hiding who liked what is not too significant of a change. It’s not something totally out of the ordinary either, considering most contries’ electoral systems guarantee the individual votes are kept secret.

I’m actually trying to do the opposite. For some reason my phone keeps the old Twitter icon on my home screen while it is already updated to X in the Google Play Store.

If Musk can prove their speech is based on maliciously cherry-picked examples and that it caused financial harm to his companay, of course he can sue for damages. They keep their freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences.

Your voice kinda reminds me of this youtuber which I’ve been subscribed to since old times.

For those looking for the latest Yuzu and Citra releases: Yuzu Win/Linux Early Access, Yuzu Android, Citra Win/Mac/Linux/Android.

Yeah, I was just wondering if they’ll really invest in advanced nodes, or will settle on outdated nodes for use in the automobile industry.

Ironically, the link to this as article is offline for me. “Cached” surely would solve my problem.

That’s an awful decision by Twilo. I deliberately only install Authy on my Desktop computers because they’re always at home and cannot be easily stolen/lost like my phone.

I feel like if this article was written with no mention of Arabs, Muslins or Palestinians employees, but just mentioned employees in general fearing being retaliated, Sugarfree’s comment would still stand nonetheless. And I kind of agree that if they fear expressing their opinions it’s because their opinions are too extreme and they know it. I mean, the “from the river to the sea” kind of opinion.

If the company’s private, which means its stocks are not tradeable anymore, what’s the point in measuring the company value at this point?

By having such high refresh rate screens and that amount of RAM, this hypothetical laptop takes a clear step into enthusiast territory. Thus the manufacturer is most likely including a dGPU into the mix as the cherry on top, especially for pushing those high refresh rates.

What’s being proposed is that the extension would modify the page to add a Lemmy frame for commenting. This frame is autonomous in the sense the user must provide his Lemmy login information for it to work, which is different from Google login information. Google is not even aware the page is being modified by an external comment section, and even if it could detect it, it wouldn’t be able to track individual users.

I read a variation of this news in the past where there was some major controversy about Google accounts that have active YouTube channels with videos uploaded to it. The solution is that Google would not delete inactive accounts if they have uploaded YouTube videos on it. I just don’t know of this policy still stands or if they changed their minds.

How did Huawei get it’s hands on a Snapdragon chip? If I recall correctly, they’re under US trade sanctions.
