It's amazing how different people see things differently. People seem to think pugs look cute, and all I see is a deformed monstrosity.

96VXb9ktTjFnRi ,

That makes sense. But what about big ongoing projects/ Couldn't they easily migrate to a FOSS service? I'd imagine people will look out for them specifically no matter where they're hosted.

It's with polarization that things spin out of control. When the left thinks the right are nazi's and the right think the left are commies, that's when people become less critical of themselves and hatred spirals into a civil war, and the one that's on top will do anything to prevent the 'enemy' taking over. Tolerating verbal intolerance is a good thing. That's why your own statement is tolerated, it's literally advocating intolerance (be it indirectly in favor of tolerance). I really don't believe your statement is correct. Tolerance leads to tolerance. Intolerance leads to more intolerance. Not tolerating intolerance doesn't make it disappear, it just makes people feel more strongly about it. When I cant think something or people look down on me for it, I am definitely gonna think it some more. Actual violence should of course not be tolerated. Ergo: is it ok to punch a nazi? No ofcourse not... unless the civil war has started yet and all tolerance is gone, but let's not go there.....

Also, punching Nazis is always morally correct.

I know the idea behind the paradox of tolerance, I'm just saying that at the very least, it's not as simple as that. There are definitely grey areas, and IT IS complicated. You really miss the bigger picture if you say it's always ok to punch a nazi. I'd advise you to read up on the Spanish civil war, how that spun out of control, violence from both sides leading to more violence. You shouldn't just look at the act of punching a Nazi no it's own, you should take a helicopter view and see that a punch, will lead to counter punches, which will lead to potentially full blown civil war. You shouldn't pride yourself in taking a firm stance if doing so is ultimately counterproductive. So what's the alternative? The alternative is sitting down, having a talk, drinking some tea and talking about our differences. And simultaneously trying to take away the breeding ground for fascism, for instance an upper class that's treating society as their farm animals, getting all the riches, while looking down on them from their high horses. Punching these people and limiting their freedoms is putting oil on the fire.

You don’t have any sort of morality or ideology underlying your objection

You make a lot of assumptions

96VXb9ktTjFnRi ,

You literally talk in your other reply about how you’ll join them

you did actually tell me in your comment that you don’t really mind nazis as long as they’re not being violent towards you.

This is becoming quite bizarre. Reading back my comments I don't even know which line you are misinterpreting cause I don't think I've said anything that even comes close to your accusations. Of course I'm not advocating to join nazi's. I think you'd be better of sticking to what people actually say, or else every online conversation is going to derail as much as this one apparently already did.

96VXb9ktTjFnRi ,

I never said I don't mind them, and I also never said I'd join them. I'm just suggesting we keep the conversation going and settle things with words rather than violence. It's difficult to have a conversation when you are unable to understand a point someone is making. Not saying you should agree at all. It's fair to have a difference of opinion. But you just misrepresent what I'm saying, that doesn't really lead to an interesting conversation in my opinion, so I'm out.

96VXb9ktTjFnRi ,

most of these should be children to be more accurate.

I listen to albums atleast 95% of the time. I only listen to separate songs when I'm looking for new stuff

96VXb9ktTjFnRi ,

just to show that any one can paint. What about the blind?

Recently been to an exhibition by Robert Ryman in Musée l'orangerie in Paris, and it only contained paintings in white. And as strange as that might sound, it was quite interesting to see all the creativy that's possible within such restrictions. His work focused on all other aspects, such as the subtle differences in whiteness, the texture of the paint and the way it's displayed in it's surroundings. Wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but if you're interested in visual art then it's worth a visit. It makes you aware of elements that you could otherwise easily forget.

ListenBrainz gives me a weekly playlist and a weekly exploration playlist. But I guess this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, I’m hoping the project will develop more into this direction.

96VXb9ktTjFnRi ,

I’m wondering the same thing. Is this coincidence?

Wot The Fsck You Say, Spotify? ( lemmy.world )

Edit: A couple times I’ve said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I’ve learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free ‘included in premium’ audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn’t make sense, unless they count accidental...

Soulseek/Nicotine+

I’m not a developer so I’m not very familiar with this world. But it kind of amazes me that the code for so many open source projects are hosted by Microsoft. Isn’t there a FOSS alternative? edit: seems Gitlab is an alternative. Then the question is, why are people using microsoft products?

That link you added is being very very negative about it and even after reading it I really don’t understand why…
