90% of them boil down to one person saying "You're uneducated on this subject, demonstrated by the fact that you're wrong"

And the other says "You're saying that because I'm uneducated I'm wrong! Haha! Ad-hom!"

But what they really said was "You're wrong, additionally, as a side note, you're uneducated and should feel bad about that"

Are violent revolutions not a form of democracy? They generally require popular support to succeed.

Are you asking if she copied and pasted an excerpt from a book? Yes, of course she did. Lol

Edit: If I took a video of myself retyping it or writing it by hand, would you read it then? I'll do it.

We're talking about 6 countries and at least 5 people in the first place, and that's only the ones named. Sorry, reality is complicated like that.

Audacious has a winamp mode and supports winamp skins.

Talking past them is still valid and worthwhile in a lot of cases.

The opinion:
"Homophobia and white supremacy are bad and should be combated"

It's interesting that you think firefox is being "controversial" when their CEO writes a couple paragraphs about combating hate speech online, but brave isn't when their CEO sends money to hate organizations. 🤔

If the user share of Firefox falls too low websites will stop supporting it (which is already happening), we will have given google the internet. Everything that is not Firefox is based on Chrome.

...the article you linked me? The topic of this discussion?

It shouldn't be controversial to anyone. The suggestions given there are pretty mild. Regardless, justice is not the absence of conflict. Sorry the article made you upset but that doesn't make it wrong.

I don't think being anti white supremacy and homophobia is shitty or controversial. Why would an Internet company write an article about something that affects the biggest sector of the Internet, social media? 🤔
"No they should stay in their lane and only talk about, I don't know, CSS or something." I don't buy it.

More info needed here. I don't see OP "making a fuss" but putting down someone's suggestion so bluntly is kind of rude.

The article is about social media.
