Actually, you can present the fallacy to anyone providing an undistributed middle syllogism, since they've "made an argument". In the post, an undistributed middle is identifiable - "your most hated almost dictatorship". This is almost certainly not the same even among tankies, so the user is putting forth an argument with poor logic from the get-go. You're not actually educated about logic except by youtube videos from people using greek or roman figures as avatars, are you?

You're mistaken. Rednote updated allowing for EN->Mandarin translation for chinese native users and made the settings menu appear in english for english speaking users. The rumors you've heard about rednote bifurcating (like Douyin and TikTok) are only rumors.

It amazes me that people will form whole opinions like this with no effort, no personal investigation. You can literally use a vpn to browse it if you're worried about your data, but I'm willing to bet that you have a marketing machine in your house that you welcomed with open arms. A majority of users on every social media have already had their data sold to every conceivable database, or are young enough that they don't realize how many datapoints they're making with their electronic footprint. Think about how likely it is that using a chinese app would actually affect you in any way - we've known for years now that health insurance and healthcare companies in the US that aren't covered by the narrow scope of HIPAA are selling our information, but you're worried about vine and instagram with storefronts included? Do you even know about marvel SNAP?

The only vibe I get from you is "15yo who just learned about politics".

AN: read this user's comment history lmao

They have Douyin (it's a carbon copy of tiktok). Rednote released a public statement welcoming US users, no evidence that what this article implies is being considered at all. The evidence is a reddit post. You are responding in agreement to a propaganda rag.

You didn't turn on the appropriate colorblind mode (which you are prompted to do during your new game setup). Both Zero Dawn and Forbidden West do this, I recently replayed ZD in preparation for FD and just started FD after holiday. This one's on you boss

Both horizon games have excellent colorblind modes and a button that highlights climbable points with high contrast. The paint is only visible without using this mode in the very first tutorial areas or on long/time-limited climbing segments. The game tries very hard to cater to a wide audience, and people still bandwagon on it relentlessly.

It kind of reads like you posted this as a question then accepted no feedback and pushed back on anyone with a different view. Not saying that's what's actually happening, it's only been a few hours, but you've responded exclusively negatively in these comments.

I like ER more than DaS3, but I've definitely replayed it less. Even if you know where your entire build is located, setting a build up for pvp is a multiple day adventure rather than something you can spend a session doing. Speedrun routing doesn't open up multiple large portions of the map, so even if you finish the game glitchless quickly you still have a lot of stuff to go and do to finish a build for pvp unless you're just in love with some of the critical path boss weapons.

This is becoming less true for FPS every month - the described method of cheating (off-device reading and input simulation) is becoming more accessible as more cheat makers are selling premade devices that do this. Huge problem even for new shooters like rivals - someone was already caught doing it in one of their ingame tournaments. It's the primary way people cheat in League of Legends, and it would not surprise me to see evidence of it in dota 2(though I haven't personally, I haven't been paying attention to it for some years and it isn't as frequent that a variety streamer or youtuber plays it compared to lol).

As mentioned before, kernel anticheat won't catch these guys anyway, so it's largely just a way to alienate your user base. There's a new problem it does nothing special to solve.

America is the only major player that still has an olympus problem. Swearing fealty to the gods should not increase your chance of being elected - but it does in the wild west. We're all tired of the US being a clown country, no need to point externally when there's this many problems in the states. This post would go over great on reddit.

Also, your username is pretty close to just outright being a nazi dogwhistle. Maybe delete your account and try again.

Microsoft didn't spend multiple decades trying to force their own chargers and ports over universal standards. Not saying any of them are good, but apple is in no way better and has spent years creating contention between consumers. It's just as likely they sell your tracking data as anyone else, they spend developer time every month making sure their ecosystem is considered better for cultural reasons while being ostensibly worse than competitors for most things. Their phones are generally a year or more behind competitors but they have made-up features that serve no purpose consumers rally around like imessage. They have a tiny sandbox to play in without completely voiding your warranty - Themes instead of real customization. "Blue bubbles"? Are you kidding me? How about allowing any form of tinkering beyond a garden path? How about supporting repair of devices at their actual branded stores? They're easily up there as one of the worst for consumers at large.

NP don't bother me at all, but that user intentionally stirs the shit in myriad other ways. Short account lifetime, TONS of replies, intentionally controversial posts, feels the need to comment on every single post that gets traction. I think "we should be nice to AI because it might be alive" has been my least favorite arc so far, close between that and declaring all of lemmy transphobic (in a BZ post no less). Block drag and move on. This post was proof enough for me personally it was a great choice.
