Wait, are you arguing that the US is the lesser of two evils in this situation? Like, right now, this United States of America, the one that has a fascist regime in power?

one indirectly owned by the CCP such as Lenovo?

You could say this about literally every Chinese owned company. Eliminate all Chinese and all American companies and there’s not a lot of goods left you could purchase. Even less when it comes to goods made for other companies in China by Chinese firms.

You’re already seeing multiple European governments moving to FOSS office suites.

I’d rather pay for search, than to be the product of a search engine. Self-hosting a decent index is much harder than it seems. Kagi aren’t ontologically evil in the same way as Google or Microsoft so I think it’s the best option.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was frustrated at someone disagreeing with a person for not liking HP. I think at that point it no longer counts as “separating the art from the artist”.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t consider either of these argumentive.

Maybe it’s because you aren’t considerate.

people are permitted to have differing opinions and likes and dislikes.

Oh, so that’s why you chose to argue with someone about their dislike, right bestie?

Did we culturally forget that digital art and photoshopping exist for a minute?

all of my bags have multiple, my wheelchair has some on the handles, i’ve basically hit hairtie saturation honestly

I mean, my issue was you deciding to comment “harry potter is great” in this thread. There’s a difference between separating the art from the artist, and defending it to folks who don’t like it.

I mean, if it’s not malice then it’s ignorance in my opinion.

While I do have fond memories of the books in the past, it’s hard not to feel gross when I see anything about them now. I just finished watching the Carmilla webseries and it has some HP references because the last season was released before JK went cuckoo and they were hard.

Also, this comic was released two days ago, for what it’s worth. Hard not to see that as tacit support, given they could have just as easily done any sort of witch.

It’s just as likely that they have a poison pill that disables the vehicle if it can’t make a connection within x amount of minutes, hours or days.
