By this logic, no businesses should rely on the internet, roads, electricity, running water, GPS, or phones. It is short sighted building stuff on top of brand new untested tech, but everything was untested at one point.

Where’s any logic here? You’re directly comparing untested technology to reliable public utilities.

Wumao begone

And that’s even considering the fact that Google deliberately throttles Firefox on their sites

“I’m not a tankie, I just parrot all of their talking points and their weird, myopic rhetorical style.”

What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You’ll get a desktop that appears normal but can’t be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim’s mouse the wrong way around if they’re gullible and they’ll think the mouse messed everything up,

I’ve already run into multiple people on Lemmy who do what I call the Reddit Special:

1. See an opinion you don’t like
2. Intentionally misinterpret the point to mean something else and attack that
3. Support your opinion by arguing backwards from your conclusion
4. Ignore all counterarguments when possible, return to step 2 when not
5. Try to “win” with pithy mic-drop bon mots at the end of your comment
6. Mask upset feelings by trotting out overly slangy 2am Chili style dismissals

For example a conversation I have actually had more than once on Reddit:

Person 1 - “I hate the designated hitter in baseball, it was more fun before, without it”
Person 2 - “Why are you in love with the old days so much? Do you want segregation back too?”
Person 1 - “Are you crazy? I just like it when pitchers bat”
Person 2 - “Lol. Clearly you have issues with being called out on your bigotry”
Person 1 - “You’re not listening, I said I like baseball better when pitchers bat”
Persot 2 - “lmaoooo I don’t listen to racists”

Forums, the fediverse, your own website, and perhaps most controversially of all, outside.

Look up, you’ll see the point as it passes by

Not OP, but take a wild guess

And yet it’s the only argument you’ll hear. I don’t know what possesses some people to act like critcism of systemd makes you an entitled manchild, I suspect they might be imbeciles.

8:43 A.M. and already this is the dumbest thing I’ll read all day.

No, tell us anyway

Lemmynet’s design structure has some weird choices in it, motivated either by laziness or to keep garage servers from being overwhelmed, and that’s the biggest and weirdest one. I’d like to see federation = full and complete synchonization from server launch to present, but I doubt the motivation is there to implement it. Maybe things will be different when kbin eventually surpasses Lemmy

Rich people don’t really seem to be smart so much as they just have a sort of rat-like cunning that confers high performance at screwing people and stealing shit.
