The craziest part for me is that i was just explaining what communists believe, i didn't even endorse them, and he decided it was an argument that needed to be crushed, and I don't think anybody who knows anything about communist philosophy would disagree with any of the things I said. He doesn't have an axe to grind against communism, just his imaginary, completely undefined and arbitrary version of it that is comprised of whatever he doesn't like.

sorry that was actually a bad link it only shows one chain

I don't think there's any chance apologia was the basis of the decision, he explicitly stated it was because of the lie he pointed out meaning I was arguing in bad faith, when I pointed out that he misinterpreted it and explained what I meant he banned me again for replying to his false allegations.

I don't think there's room for interpretation, he just didn't like losing an argument and wanted to silence me. He did check me for apologia sentiment and I did as he wanted, when he couldn't ban me for apologia he decided my arguments were in bad faith and gave me a terrible reason, I think in creating this framework to make an "objective" statement you have given him far far too much credit.

the only thing I want is the acknowledgement that I did not in fact technically break the rules. I don't think there's even a way to interpret what I said as apologia honestly. Even if there was, that would at best account for one of the two bans.

He explicitly stated that being a communist is not against the rules, and I at no point endorsed or recommended even one authoritarian thing, even going so far as to clarify that I am not a marxist communist and disavowing tankiesm in clear words.

i do not think there is any argument to be made that there was any apologia at all. If I was to explain the beliefs of nazis that would not be apologia.

furthermore he didn't ban me for apologia, he banned me for "lying"

I have not committed any apologia, I just explained what communists believe, I at no point endorsed tankiesm

They die from the billions he's keeping. If I donated 20$ it would impact me more than bill gates will be impacted through this act of generosity.

Hundreds of thousands will die because of his greed, him making up for some of it doesn't make him worthy of praise, yes obviously it's a good thing that fewer people will suffer, but we're discussing whether he did a good thing. My argument is that he did less than the bare minimum because he is keeping billions

your standards are so incredibly low for humanity that this is good enough to praise, my standards are not so low, I expect him to sacrifice to help others before I think he deserves praise.

He could spend billions on megayachts, private islands, hookers, and blow, or hoard it like a dragon as other billionaires do. Instead he’s making a direct material difference in millions of lives around the world.

He can still do that, he still will have billions. He will likely not reduce the frequency of these purchases at all.

What he’s doing saves millions of people.

Yeah, and it's the bare minimum. consider the hundreds of thousands that could be saved if he went down to being a millionare... He sacrificed literally nothing to save millions of people. It's outrageous that all billionaires aren't doing this, but it isn't particularly noble.

I know a communist might think a million lives is just a statistic, but those are individual people. Bill Gates the billionaire is doing more to make the world a tangibly better place than all the conplainers in this thread.

of course he is, but he's sacrificing literally nothing to do it. So, so what? It just makes it even more disgusting that he built up that amount of wealth in the first place. Nobody should be that wealthy and this should not be applauded, it should be less than even the bare minimum. If he downsizes his mansion or otherwise loses something then it's a minor act of charity. Until his life is in someway effected this is basically nothing. If you donate a 20 dollar bill it will likely impact your life more than this will impact his.

...you do realize that, for example, if you had 100 billion dollars, you already have every asset you ever wanted, and then you lost 99 billion, and still had a billion dollars, your life wouldn't be impacted at all, right?

99 percent of his wealth being lost does what to him exactly? I literally can't think of one thing he loses with this.

i think you could benefit from reading yourself, my point was about what he loses by donating the wealth, if you think money has inherent value I feel very bad for you, honestly.

I just need steam\proton\wine to support native wayland and then I'll remove xwayland from my system, can't wait

i'm on hyprland though

New hyprland patch can do pretty much all the xdotool stuff since they added a send key to window thing

what is bill gates sacrificing to do this? As far as I'm aware absolutely nothing at all.

i think in order for this to be praised, in order for it to be good or generous there needs to be any amount of sacrifice. Is he downsizing his mansion for this? Does even one thing about his life change?

this is just a way of buying good pr.

Why?

edit: if this is a communism joke it's bad, and i'm actually an anarchocommunist... look at my avatar

1. I don't agree that this is overcomplicated, how would you improve it? The simple settings are in the middle and the advanced settings are also easily accessible
2. if you wanted something simple and not the advanced network settings wouldn't you just use the panel applet anyway?

Can you give an instance of plasma being overcomplicated?

Yo just for the record you made your life so much more difficult installing skyrim that way and not through steam\proton, even if you were pirating.

I do question your moral choice of putting flavor above killing

To be clear, I do not. What I'm doing is morally wrong, in fact, it's morally terrible, but I do it anyway.
