• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was pretty heavily associated with the alt right a decade ago as it was getting more popular. Some alt right meme communities like frenworld and clown world were centered around it, with overtly fascist pepe variants. It’s gotten more popular in a lot of other circles, but if someone identifies enough with it to use as a profile picture I’d at least check their posting history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division, which fought for a free and open web⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Google is still appealing it, so at best that will happen next year. But yeah, they’re probably adjusting their budget in anticipation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division, which fought for a free and open web⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mozilla is set up as a non-profit with a for profit company as a subsidiary. The corporate Mozilla handles working on Firefox, mostly using money from Google for setting it as the default search engine. Because of that separation I don’t think they can easily mix those two piles of money together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What type of game do you want to see?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s Mines3D on android, although the graphics are still 2d and it’s a pain to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google now requires JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they switched to usually using bing results last year. Their support site mentions they use both backends. I’d guess which one you get depends on which API is cheaper for each country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨17 subtitle languages, none of them English⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s still closed, just poorly done in a way that isn’t very accessibile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨17 subtitle languages, none of them English⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what burned in means.

  I added an extra line break, but it already looked fine in the default webview and in Jerboa. Normally lists don’t need line breaks around them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨17 subtitle languages, none of them English⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For anyone who wants to know the difference between these terms:

  • subtitles - just includes the dialogue
  • captions - also includes description of other sounds
  • closed - text is stored separately from the video, and can turn on and off while watching
  • open - text is part of the video image itself
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can whales eat humans?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cladistically dolphins are a type of toothed whale. They’re more closely related to species like sperm whales than toothed whales and baleen whales are to each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brassica⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not brassica oleracea though, it’s a different species, brassica rapa. The same species as napa cabbage, brocolli rabe, and bok choy. Rutabaga is actually a hybrid of the two species.

  It’s part of Spider-Man & the X-Men.
