Germany is backsliding particularly hard with their support of Israel meaning heavy crackdowns on peaceful demonstrations. It’s shameful

This should be illegal

As a former software engineer turned product owner turned manager, thank you for including other perspectives. When complaining on the internet, engineers typically think other people should be doing all the specification work and they just implement it, without realizing that in the pre-agile days, the bureaucracy was soul-crushing. We need engineers to discuss all these technical details like permissions and whatnot, they’re the best people for the task! But at parties, engineers talk about this as if management is stupid for not working it out for them. No, software engineers shouldn’t try to reduce themselves to code monkeys. You’re problem solvers, you’re engineers.

Lies

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Or are you denying Uyghurs are being persecuted?

Non-Jews are denied citizenship and thus disenfranchised. Textbook apartheid. Israel can be a Jewish state or a democracy, it cannot be both

UE4 movement was buttery smooth

Park near a fire hydrant or pass a stopped school bus and everybody freaks out, but this is just fine somehow

I’m not American. Their uniforms say police. Are ICE agents police? How do you recognize them? Do you have the same rights with police or ICE?

Did you just say this unironically?

Colour me shocked

Ban privacy invasive business practices instead of putting the burden on citizens to opt in/opt out. This is about rights of a European citizen not to be constantly under surveillance, not about consumers rights to sign away our rights in a contract.

Well said, there’s even a deeper layer: Ask the question “states’ rights to do what?” (A: slavery). The same can be asked of the freedom convoy: “personal rights to do what?” (A: infect and kill others with a highly contagious and dangerous disease). Their exercise of personal rights in the way that some people did, should have been prosecuted as goddamn manslaughter. Same for covid denying government officials in many countries

A lot of things were wrong during covid. For example, I’m now convinced of the lab leak theory, having thought of it as a right wing conspiracy for too long. Polarized politics clouds our judgement on both sides. Yes, there were and are a lot of right wing loons, but that doesn’t mean they were wrong about everything.

They never really protested any rights, they were doing a performative demonstration showing them to be a part of the conservative crowd.

None of them ever gave a fuck about not spreading a deadly disease. Fuck them

Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?

Why the downvotes? Look at that picture. The buttons are askew
