They usually skip the morality and jump straight to the whataboutism. They know that the thing is bad and won’t argue that, but they will try to sweep it under the rug and change the narrative to US doing something bad too.
At the end of the day they’re like kids in a playground justifying that they can do something bad because someone else did it too.
Oh and I can tell that someone will misinterpret my comment and think I’m downplaying the sh*t that the US did
As a piece of software, nothing. It’s an open source browser, and has an added bonus of having many privacy settings on by default. Not even firefox can say the same, it comes with telemetry, pocket and whatnot out of the box.
But there are some fair criticisms about the company and its administration. For example, there was an incident years ago when you signed on a crypto exchange, it would swap the sign on link for their own referral link. They claimed this was an error and quickly patched it, but I don’t buy it.
You’ll quickly notice that a lot of people on lemmy passionately hate brave. So expect a strong bias and, as a result, truths but overblown, half truths and misinformation. Don’t ignore what they say but double check them.
Title told me that "lower is better". Assumption: it's introducing the graph, I should look at it
Graph shows from left to right the best browsers for privacy. Assumption: they are the best for privacy, the title told me so
Then I read the description. But I'm a data analyst, I'm used to look at the details. Most people do not. They want quick "tell me what's happening". It's something you accept if you work in this field, the best DAs can tell their stories in just a few graphs.
Tip: assume that people won't read anything. They will just look at the graph. If each point is not equal, then your graph needs to show it. Looking at the source really quick, I maybe would've done a graph that shows points per category. It would need some work to look good and not cluttered, but that way you can let the viewer decide for themselves what they consider important and look at the points that matter to them.
Take this as constructive criticism and not as a "gotcha", I fall for this trap every once in a while too. Try to not be frustrated, it's just how it is. Next time you'll do a better job at passing your message
My issue with tweets like this is that while the vast majority thinks "that's fucked up" then go about their lives, some will think "philipines you say?"
Hey there, I think there's a bit more to consider in this topic. Firstly, it's not just the U.S. holding the fort in places like Eastern Europe. European countries, along with other members of NATO, play a big role in their own defense and stability of the region. Don't forget that there are nuclear powers in EU too.
Also, the U.S. being involved overseas isn't just a one-way street where America sacrifices for the sake of others. There are strategic benefits for the U.S., like securing trade routes, building diplomatic relationships, and even national security perks.
And about socialism and isolationism being mixed up – they're actually quite different. Socialism is more about how an economy is managed, not how a country deals with foreign policy. Many countries with socialist elements are pretty active globally.
Regarding Europe and East Asia, calling them isolationist isn't quite right. These regions are major players in international trade and politics. For instance, the EU is a huge economic bloc and actively participates in global affairs, and so does East Asia, with countries like Japan and South Korea being key international players.
My chips are also on them coming back, but at the same time it feels like Musk wants to make Twitter's business harder than it needs to be.
This reaction doesn't come from the last tweet itself, instead it comes from him not stopping with hot takes and not showing any signs of slowing down.
If he keeps going, I could see companies just accepting "it is what it is" and coming back, but at the same time it also feels like he's one tweet away from going too far for most companies. And it's not like Twitter is a strong social media anyway, they are not even in the top 10 social medias in terms of active users count: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/
Maybe these companies may also decide that dealing with Twitter is more trouble than it's worth. But we'll see
Games that are usually criticized by this, also tend to be games that sell really well. Think Sony exclusives like Uncharted, TLoU, etc.
Some of the most beloved games by the communities are also story heavy, like Bioshock, Mass Effect, System Shock, etc. These games I mentioned have passable gameplay even when they were released, case in point, whenever you talk with someone about these games, they won't talk about the gameplay, they will talk about the twists, the characters, etc.
Then there are games that are the antithesis to this post: interactive movies and visual novels. Quantic Dream's games (detroit become human, heavy rain, etc) despite all their faults, sold well. Telltalle's put their foot in the industry with the first season of The Walking Dead, and they would still be in business today if it wasn't for their one trick pony game design and biting more than they could chew. Visual novels tend to be in the grey area and some people argue they aren't games at all, but some do feature gameplay, and people don't play those for the gameplay I can promise you that.
I do share the opinion that many publishers & studios in the gaming industry have the wrong idea that they need to be like the movie industry and have cinematic games. They don't. But the demand for those types of games exist too
