politics is not geometry ok?

Claiming that there is nothing between two points is certainly geometry.

Also calm down.

On code I write on hardware I run locally, how is it ever possible to not be able to remove an element from the UI?

I don’t really understand how that’s possible. The browser gets a token from the third party, and passes that token to the server to “prove” it’s running the DRM. The server then passes code back to the browser. At that point, why can’t the browser just cut out the DOM elements which are ads?

I don’t understand how code I write on hardware I run locally can ever have it’s hands tied like this.

I don’t understand. Isn’t someone just going to fork Chromium, take out this stuff, put in something that spoofs the DRM to the sites so that adblocking still works?

MySQL: you have an error near here.

Me: What’s the error?

MySQL: It’s near here.

Me: You’re not going to tell me what the error is? Okay, near where? Here?

MySQL: warmer… warmer…

Left of what? This is the extraordinarily simple concept you’re not understanding. Whatever left is it has to be left of something. What’s referred to as progressivism in the US is mostly to the left of the political establishment, and media. It’s center/center-left compared to the population (depending on how you define progressivism).

If you’re just using your own personal desires as your calibration point, then good for you, nobody else should or does care though.

Left wing politics are more popular in the real world than they are in real world governments. The thing is that extremely online youth have absolutely no idea of just how far left they are.

In the US there are right wing and even more right wing.

Not at all how direction works.

I’m not sure what possible argument would work if you insist that there can be two different points that don’t have a midpoint. That’s primary school geometry.

This is just being obtuse for the sake of it.

I’m not sure you can have any kind of spectrum that doesn’t have a middle.

Riiiiight.

“I don’t know, so I’m not going to find out” is not the soundest logic I’ve seen.

I’m asking what you think centrism is if you think somewhere like publicfreakout is right wing.

If you think publicfreakout is right wing, where do you think the centre is?

Does that feel healthy? Do you only listen to the tiniest left most fringe?

Oh cool, thanks.

So they’re all entirely separate federated networks?

The poes law on Musk tweet screenshots is through the roof. I have absolutely no idea if this is real.

I still have absolutely no idea what the difference between lemmy, kbin and mastodon is.
