But why would someone pay for the software if the seller is not adding any value to to product?

A: the mistaken belief that the seller is adding value, even in the face of all evidence, which is caused by a capitalist tendency to believe that all prices are inherently just

B: disbelief in the idea of anything worthwhile being free, which is caused by the capitalist tendency to attack the free exchange of goods and services.

The utopia of Star Trek was only able to happen because they had a WWIII and the communists won

Yeah, I’m really looking forward to moving off Discord. The username change made the biggest difference to me, I lost the last of my trust in them to keep making user friendly decisions at that moment. But regardless of trust, my polycule needs a tool to differentiate headmates, and Discord is the only platform that has that so far. I know because I’ve looked. We’ll switch when a pluralkit equivalent is available

Discord is going to stay king in terms of queer community as long as it’s the only chat app with Pluralkit. My polycule can’t use anything else.

That sounds dangerous. Most people don’t reach their ideas through reason. I don’t want to lose empathy for all humanity no matter how ignorant they are.

You need to watch Glass Onion

Yeah, so why is Bill Gates 5G microchip the conspiracy? Why not Elon Musk Starlink Neuralink? There is an actual evil mad scientist selling the technologies they are actually scared of, why don’t they just point their fears at the actual danger?

In my country, your birth certificate has both your deadname and your new name on it if you changed your name. When I signed up for PayPal, I had already transitioned, so I put in my current, legal name. PayPal asked for proof that I am who I claim to be, to prevent fraud. Fair enough, I gave them my birth certificate. They looked at it, and then changed the name on my account to my deadname, which was no longer my legal name. When I told them to change it back, they said I’d have to submit a change of name form.

I knew Musk was transphobic sooner than most of the public did after that experience.

A teenager who plays a violent video game is not engaging in an act of violence as recognised by his brain. He is not going into a fight or flight response and getting trauma from the experience as he would in a real fight. His brain doesn’t think he’s in a fight.

When you masturbate, your body goes through the same chemical and neurological processes as if you were really having sex.

Trans subs on lemmy.world always get downvotes on half their posts. And yesterday they removed their rules against transphobia. It’s still against the rules to harass or bully, but if you don’t do either of those things then you can spread whatever hateful rumours, stereotypes, or slurs you want. So basically just don’t say it directly to a trans person and it’s allowed.

Lemmy just needs to fix the transphobia issues in order to be able to grow to the next stage.

After 7 years I still have no idea how to search my own inbox for posts that I know I have - but no idea when or where. If Google can’t help me find them - they might as well not exist.
