Just thinking about all the... Shall we say "under used" pickup trucks in my neck of the woods. Bought to look like the owner moves shit - when in reality it just signals to me they have the money to make others do it for them.

I'm referring to the trend of posts criticizing (via memes) twitter screenshots. https://lemmy.world/post/1348807 https://sopuli.xyz/post/1213803 https://lemm.ee/post/1007393

it is essentially echoing ideas as old as twitter/reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/jeyscl/a_twitter_screenshot_is_not_a_meme/

 

Stay calm!

I don't have anything to add per se.

But I guess my question is - what does it matter insofar as using the software. It's open source and intended for distrubuted use. So, the creators intentions are a bit... Irrelevant - no?

Best to separate the art from the artist so to speak. Otherwise, should we not save lives with immoraly gained medical insights, and not appreciate civil rights gains from an adulterer?

To me, it just came across as petulant. Ironically, the "conclusion" was basically a TLDR for anyone interested.

I'm a lurker doing a little posting/commenting to "be the change I want to see" so to speak. If lemmy gets bigger, I will likely return to my lurker ways.

 

I really tried this time.

They sure did get right back on that bike though.

I'm honestly more curious about this than I was about any of the locked safes.

Dang... I just signed up and picked that instance since it's powered by renewables and the agora exists. I'll give it a minute to see how things go, but looks like I should switch to another instance.
