Oh, so you do believe the problems they are describing are real and don't actually have an issue with their prescriptions, just in their presentation?

So the cattle and steel industries do have deleterious environmental effects. Car culture does have harmful effects on the environment and society. Anthropomorphic climate change is a real phenomenon.

If your argument is "we need environmental groups to have better marketing" then sure, I can agree with that.

The presentation of being opposed to the prescriptions of all these environmental groups, you make a bunch of claims about their positions but it's performative because you don't believe the problems they are trying to solve for even exist in the first place.

It's pointless for anyone to defend or argue about those positions because you can just turn around and go "oh you think the industry can be reformed to be less environmentally taxing? Well I don't even believe climate change is a real thing". Just lead with that next time.

Ok but you realize this is like me having super strong positions about certain aspects of how the Catholic church makes rules and then as soon as anyone presses me I throw my hands up and say " eh, I'm an atheist". It's dishonest and bad faith.

Yeah well it's a bit strange to me to have folks bending over backwards for Russia just to turn around and say "Well sure they're evil here" and yes, this equivocation of both nations positions is how I would view that.

Also this black and white claim is as much a presuppositional projection as what I did yet. Nothing about my position says that, in fact I can make a purely selfish defense of the same positions. That assisting Ukraine is purely in the geopolitical interests of America, that America has a long history of picking sides in conflicts, that Ukraine can be the moral actor here and still do immoral actions.

I wouldn't fight the claim of hypocrisy. It's pretty unavoidable.
Rather, point out that trying to lean on the hypocrisy to discredit them is logically fallacious.

If a thief tells you not to steal, that doesn't mean they're wrong.

Hypocritical does not mean wrong.
As long as you accept that they may be right, it's ok to point out their hypocrisy. If you're trying to do that to make a point in the argument, however, that is a logical fallacy.

I live in a part of the country with quite a lot of datacenters. The organization I work for owns 3 of them.
Our cost of electricity is pretty damn reasonable. Cheaper than Texas and most of the midwest. Not the cheapest in the country- but well below average.
Price only increases when demand outpaces supply.

I think you'll see datacenter zoning referendums- but mostly from NIMBY fuckwits trying to nuke their own economy.
I think those referendums will mostly fail.

Using unscaled absolute numbers to make a value appear significant? That's not only lazy, it's dishonest.

You were doing good, here. There is no such thing as a pristine environment.

You flew off the track, here.
Human involvement is fucking huge in this stage of our development.
We upset the carbon cycle by 60-100 times that of all of the volcanoes on Earth, combined. We are quite literally the largest force of nature on this planet outside of the sun.

I'm not sure you really do agree with that, though.
If you did, I don't think you'd be belittling our impact.

Mouse input in Wayland is handled by libinput.
That includes scaling and sensitivity.

Nobody is forced to implement their own compositor. There is a reference implementation (wlroots)
The model pairs the compositor with the display server, because it makes more sense.

99.9/100 Wayland beefs are based on ignorance and regurgitation of others' ignorance.

btw- how is HDR support coming on your X11 display?

Ya, you should see X11's HDR support- it's awesome.
But network transparency- that's what we care about.

X11 has a global DPI.

You say it works just fine, but how it actually works is like shit.
You've got the DPI set to something reasonable for your small screen, and you need a microscope to read it on your 4K screen.
And that's ok- people have a right to like the pile of shit they're daily driving.

Some of them not only have no consequences, they'll be rewarded. Llike the investors that convinced millions of 401K holders to sink their retirement into this garbage. It will be like 2008 Goldman Sachs, but with more of the guardrails torn down since then.

People are whoever they say they are. The fact is, a tiny fraction of the country identifies as Chinese. They're Taiwanese.

That being said, calling the KMT CCP plants would manage to insult an actual majority of Taiwanese people, who support that party and its coalition allies.

The KMT's majority coalition in the legislature paints a different picture.

A majority of actual Taiwanese people are represented by the KMT's coalition in the legislature.
Who the fuck moderated your drivel up? Fucking absurd.
