100% agree that we should use the term with caution and precision. That said, Israel is committing a genocide.

me being told to grow up by another lemmy user is literally 1984 guys

Good thing you can have the right economic politics at the same time as being queer. Young people identifying as LGBT does nothing to detract from their other left-wing views.

Genuinely hard to tell if a joke sometimes

bolognese a lazy recipe? takes me like 3 hours sheesh

If you get it, purge and update your cache. It still works.

How much do you pay for oat milk? It’s like €1.40/L here which is only like 50% more than dairy milk.

Russia uses cluster bombs too though? Cluster bombs are bad because unexploded munitions are a lot like mines. The fighting is happening in Ukraine, not in Russia, and Ukraine is already littered with mines and unexploded munitions because of Russia’s use of both from the start of the war.

Look at the Netherlands for a good example then. Private schools aren’t banned but public schools are so good even the princesses go to them. You’re just so used to public schools being underfunded that you think they can’t work. The reason you’d want to ban private schools is because it creates an incentive for the rich and powerful to fix your shitty public schools.

That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

It is difficult though. Godot has been in development since 2007. It was not FOSS until 2014. It is still way behind Unity and Unreal Engine in many ways, which have been around since 2004 and 1995 respectively.

You aren’t paying creators, you are paying executives and middlemen.

Happily, not really. I pay for YouTube Premium, but I don’t like the monopoly they have and disagree with a lot of their decisions. I’d rather have a different economic system.

But yeah, I’d be willing to pay for the subscription in that case, even if I end up pirating most everything to get a better service.

Does it? Haven’t seen that and am in the European Union

That would be cool, but there is no good way to donate directly to the people contributing to the media you consume.

Like I said, subscriptions barely matter for the artists on those projects. Actors and animators generally get no royalties from streaming.

I wish there was a way to support the production, actors, writers, vfx artists, animators, etc. of good shows adequately while getting the piracy experience. This system really just fucking sucks. Even if you pay exorbitant amounts to streaming services, the people that made the art get jack shit.

Inflexibility is more a stereotype of Americans in general than of American soldiers, also these stereotypes are from quite a while ago so they have shifted

Just a small note, universal healthcare isn’t an EU thing and not really adopted properly across the EU’s constituent countries
