How did you come to that conclusion?

"not being a fan means you actively oppose her"

"I'm not a fan, but I don't actively oppose her" (by way of hospital food analogy)

"okay... So you agree with me?"

Do you think "not a fan of" means "dislike"?

I don't agree with that line of thought. The taste of hospital food is also very neutral but I wouldn't say I'm a fan of it. I also wouldn't say I'm actively opposing it, and if served it in a situation where I can't get anything else I wouldn't snub my nose at it, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

I think they're a very vocal, but disagreed with, minority. I think some people here think all of Lemmy is unwaveringly anti-corporation and anti-capitalist.

I'd consider myself mostly anti-corporation and mostly anti-capitalist, but I also understand that not everything every corporation does is out of some desire to commit the worst thing possible on mankind (e.g. retiring old authentication servers that they've kept running for years while warning people that it'd eventually be cut off).

Anyway, Lemmy hates these 5 Cs (in no particular order): -Corporations

-CEOs (in particular Elon Musk and Spez)

-Conservative politics of any kind

-Capitalism

-Chromium browsers, even the privacy-oriented spinoffs.

Harder than you might think. A male testing positive on a pregnancy test is a marker for some forms of testicular cancer.

Yeah, I have no love for Meta, but this is a case of damned if you do or damned if you don't. If they didn't censor it, how much do you bet there'd be an article posted here that said "Threads allows Covid and vaccine misinformation to spread as cases rise"

Ah yes, just what the working class desperately needs, a gatekeeper.

In this thread lots of uninformed people misunderstanding how the open source Chromium project works (or the difference between Chrome and Chromium). Vivaldi is a Chromium-based browser who frequently disable the parts of Chromium they don't agree with.

This argument not to use anything Chromium is the same as if someone was fanatically opposed to using Linux Mint or Elementary OS because they're based on Ubuntu, and Canonical bad.

I love Firefox as much as the next person, and probably do a 75% Vivaldi 25% Firefox split, but let's not act like Google isn't bankrolling Mozilla, because they account for 85+% of Mozilla's revenue, and if Google does implement this Web DRM and if it is widely adopted, Mozilla either submits and enables it to make sure daddy Google stays happy, or they die.

Hey, fellow Vivaldi user👋 . Yep, one of the Vivaldi devs already said if it was added upstream, they'd strip it out of the Chromium code, but they acknowledge that this would cause problems if WEI became standard. Websites would start to expect it, and not having that functionality would be a death-sentence for any browser (Chromium or otherwise).

We had a bus driver who'd drive away if he had already closed the doors, regardless of if he could see you running for the bus or if other students would tell him someone was coming.

Smug little prick used to whistle like a fucking 1950s Disney character while he did it, too.
