What a simplistic, destructive take.

Nuance exists in this world. In a free society, a distinction needs to be made between real, credible threats and simple hyperbole.

Also, “hate speech” is a real term, and it doesn’t mean ‘saying you hate someone.’

The wrong candidate.

To be fair, his name is Celeborn. Can’t blame him for being celibate.

A review of the account revealed that “Watermelon cloth” regularly posted content critical of social inequalities in the United States, the Ukrainian and Israeli governments

Disinformation or common sense?

Tubgirl.

Not a term, but a lack thereof:

People I have to regularly interact with for work have been excluding “to be”, especially with “needs”, and it’s infuriating.

This issue needs escalated. That report needs fleshed out. Let me know if anything needs cleared up.

Shipping intensifies

Whoever wins…

We lose.

Ha! I use it because I just don’t want the use of “languid” in the language to languish in anguish.

To be fair, the Xbone released after gaming had made its way into the mainstream. Those old Nintendo consoles are from an era when gaming was still considered by most to be a child’s pursuit, so they had much smaller audiences.

Like I’m lying in the backseat of my parents’ car in the 90s watching the powerlines and the clouds languidly roll by.

You use that seemingly as a means to discredit the site, but if you actually read the article, you’d see that it’s very explicit about the speculative nature of its subject. It makes no false claims; it only describes an interesting (if improbable) theory and attempts to explain the rationale behind its inception. Seems above board to me.

FYI, it’s duct tape. For taping ducts.

Nah, it’s pretty simple. Pronouns don’t use apostrophes for possession; they only use them for contractions like “it’s”.

Bang-On Balls: Chronicles

It sounds like either a throwaway mobile gacha game or an epic CBT adventure porno, but it’s actually a pretty good 3D platformer.

In English, apostrophes are only used for possession and to indicate missing letters (usually vowels), as in contractions.

My example showed apostrophes incorrectly being used for non-possessive plural nouns. I used a proper noun (“Johnson”) and a common one (“pizza”) to better illustrate my point.

Interesting. In English, I’d say the “idiot’s apostrophe” is an apostrophe that’s used for a non-possessive, non-contraction ‘s’.

E.g., “The Johnson’s are going to the mall to buy pizza’s.”

Nope; you read an article, and I just reacted to comments on Lemmy, assuming that those commenting had read the article.

If I’d simply opened the link, I’d’ve seen it was on mozilla.org and would’ve realized it was just that the OP made a shitty clickbait title, not another Mozilla hit piece.

Shame on you, OP! Also shame on me.

Yet another Mozilla hit piece that seemingly-intentionally misrepresents the good they’re doing for users.

It begs the question: who has the means and motivation to consistently pay “journalists” to malign the only browser that has the slightest chance of tearing any significant amount of users away from chromium-based browsers?

EDIT: Turns out the answer to my question above might, in fact, be OP! They wrote a patently false, inflammatory title that isn’t supported by the article (or reality) at all, and I fell for it like a sucker.

Well, I guess this cinches it - I’m never buying another Nintendo product.

I was already on the fence, as I still wanted to support innocent developers who happen to be part of a shitty company. I even bought a Switch and every game I pirated so I could have a clean conscience when playing them on my Steam Deck.

Not anymore! I’m putting Nintendo squarely in my list of publishers to ignore. It’s a small gesture, meaningless to a megacorp like them, but it’s enough for me.

Fuck you, Nintendo. You used to be cool.
