Just shut your eyes and dive into the pool. There’s no way I’m going to try to live without my cellphone, and EVERY cell phone maker is doing the same thing. There is no such thing as a Linux phone, so don’t give me that bullshit.

That seems pretty accurate

Thank you for the reasonable reply that didn’t attack my character for asking. Apparently, that’s too much to ask of some people.

Someone mentioned that, but I have yet to see why dot world blocked the commie instances. Care to share?

I honestly saw someone use the word, wondered what they actually meant by it, and came here to ask. TBF, I didn’t know much about what “here” was, at the time.

DuckDuckgo uses Google. So do I. Sometimes I want to have a conversation with people. That’s why I asked here.

You seem to have a strong opinion on the subject, but your definition also feels a little tilted.

I’m on lemmy.world I didn’t sign up for this

“Factually wrong” might be a bit slippery when it comes to this issue. I get the impression that the term is going through some changes in use (as words tend to do) and some groups might legitimately disagree with each other on the definition. Some of the comments that got removed were not in any way helpful to the conversation, but others seemed to have their own definitions. Now they are deleted, who can say? The last definition standing wins?

I just thought this was where you came to ask questions.

Yeah, I really stepped in it. I honestly didn’t know.

There are far too many comments that just got removed by the moderator! I asked the question, and while I might not agree with all the replies, I was glad that people felt like it was okay to do so.

I had no idea this would ignite a shitstorm. I have so many responses now and less idea of what a tankie is now than when I asked.

Saving Private Ryan. World War II was a terrible idea.

You get hanged the wrong way around

You are welcome. I asked for the sake of clarity, not to be a grammer nazi, which is why I won’t point out the other typo.

Do you mean county?

I thought it was an Onion article at first

You mean, ‘Lightning’ Josh Hawley? That man can haul ass!

Does the AI know that it would have to pay me to fly Delta? Has it been trained on that data?
