Those exist, but divide the view count by number of comments. It will show for the most part thousands of views per comment. That means most people aren't using the social part. I've yet to ever write a youtube comment, but I use it daily. So if you asked me if I use YouTube you'd get a yes, but it's not social media for me. If you limit it to those who read/write comments it would be fair, but I'm not sure they did that.

Comment Re: Legacy Media BEFORE the war. "Ukraine are Nazi (Score 0) 137

Believing the Nazi's were defined by solely by their anti-semitism leads people to think Ukraine can't be Nazi since it has a leader of Jewish ancestry.

Ukraine can't be Nazi because it is not operated along Nazi ideals, and because the majority of the population is not made up of Nazis, not because of who sits in the big chair. Having Nazis in it doesn't make it Nazi. Nazis went all over the place, and there are descendants of Nazis who may still hold Nazi ideals all over the place. Ukraine has a neo-Nazi problem, but so does the USA. Do you call the USA a Nazi country? It sure does look a lot closer than Ukraine right now.

No one every points out the "them" here doesn't exist.

Probably they are tired of people's stupid fucking responses. This is approximately the first time I've pointed that out without getting downmodded, and it's not too late for that to happen either. Only one of these proposed reactors has received type approval and then NuScale decided not to build one because it wouldn't be profitable even if someone else split the costs with them. My only question is, are the people I see frothing for SMRs invested in the scams, or just so dazzled by promises of shiny shit that they will attack anyone who points out the emperor's lack of clothing? I suppose that this can only be answered on a case by case basis, but I'm having trouble imagining a credible third option.

Native means comes with the system. If you have to download it separately, it isn't native. It used to mean built in and operating without translation layers, but modern software is generally built with layers on layers from the get-go so that's no longer a meaningful distinction.

Windows' support for basic VGA mode does not constitute meaningful support for GPUs which have not been released because you can use almost none of the functionality. So sure, it "supports" them... but only well enough to download a driver for actual support. Anything supported for more than the most trivial mode actually is supported with a driver more complex than Standard VGA already included in the system.

"Linux" does not have printing support, it has support for the technologies needed to connect to a printer. "<x distribution> Linux" has printing support.

It likely means demolishing a lot of existing houses and businesses to make room for the train

It doesn't. What it means is cutting through a lot of big parcels whose owners have big money, so they can be big impediments. There has to be a happier medium than this between respect for individual private property ownership and the needs of the many, but we are clearly uninterested in finding it in this country.
