Skueomorphism is great but Liquid Glass feels like someone told Apple “UI should be invisible” and they took it literally instead of metaphorically

I don’t care for a UI that insists upon itself

The protagonist in Annihilation called it a tower too, even though everyone else thought of it as a tunnel

“Users are happier when we tell them lies our algorithm says they’ll like. Yes it is also news”

Good point. Posted that between combat turns in D&D 😓 it’s anti-Lemmy, not anti-left.

Seeing MLs post anti-left stuff like this makes me think of Monsignor Wicks from Wake Up Dead Man. Alienating the out-group to strengthen the bonds of the in-group.

I wanna get that 50K signing bonus and then just bail out

Or just applying and forgetting just to tie up their system

HELL YEAH <3

I think ML isn’t for me but @Cowbee has been super patient in answering my questions and I’d love to consider them a friend

What’s your (or MLs in general) definition of “a liberal”? Real question, genuinely curious. The people (Americans) I know who would call themselves “liberal” don’t and wouldn’t support a “blood for oil” war like this. The liberals I knew didn’t support the Iraq invasion in the 2000s and won’t support Venezuela now.

It seems - and please correct me if I’m wrong - that MLs use the term “liberal” very broadly, even in a way that would include American Republicans and MAGA devotees. As in, anyone who lives (whether or not they like it) under a capitalist regime, like a Western neo-liberal. Or even, it seems like MLs call anyone who isn’t as far “left” as they are liberal.

Is there some kind of hypocrisy or irony subtext I’m missing? I don’t understand why this is a juxtaposition

It’s so weird that MLs post on a platform specifically designed to be federated and didn’t expect any friction for posting non-mainstream opinions.

It’s doubly weird that they lash out instead of using the opportunity to evangelize.

I’m more and more convinced that the consumption of political theory is more about tribalism than justice. Maybe justice only comes from tribalism…

That’s too reductionist for me to upvote. It’s like saying every bird is just a coelacanth

They take yuan in the USA now??? Opens my Bank of America app

Oh, so boomer-tier memes are praxis lol. Gonna hit me with a Minion meme next?

Upvote-farming choir-preaching tribeslop garbage. Is this praxis?

Love how lo-res this image is. 2000s vibes. I like to think that this is an Elder Meme that has been living on some obscure open directory for the past 20+ years
