I suspect your problem is grabbing the wrong link from tenor.com, not with Lemmy markdown.

I don’t mean to diminish the larger point you’re making about feminism not having middle ground, but from an interface design perspective, a dial very much implies a continuum of settings. When there isn’t middle ground, the interface should be a toggle switch instead.

Of course this is art, not a real device, so obviously a dial is appropriate because it’s a response to being told to “dial down,” not “switch off.”

(I almost feel like there could’ve been something different about the way the dial was depicted – maybe with a range with “raging feminist” next to “complicit” and something more extreme above it, or maybe indeed using a toggle instead of a dial – in order to emphasize that “raging feminist” already is as “dialed down” as you could reasonably ask for, but such UI realism would probably just clutter up the design without improving the message. As art, I think the artist got it right as-is.)

Small town rural Georgia, no less!

I crossed out “small town” because Mineral Bluff is too small to even count as incorporated. Literally all that’s there, in terms of businesses, is a gas station, a Dollar General, and whatever the Hell this is.

GPLv3 is less proprietary than GPLv2, in the sense that it does a better job at protecting end-users from being abused by device makers that would try to close up their Linux-based system.

Imagine having such a hard-on for letting corporations exploit your work in abusive Tivoized products that you stoop to retaliation against a company that’s actually trying to protect their customers.

They know it’s better than v2.

Here’s a Captain Disillusion VFXcool episode about this special effect, specifically as applied to Back to the Future (which innovated having a split screen with a moving camera): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhNDsPMaK_A

Wait 'till you find out that Hayley Mills isn’t a twin.

Anticopyright diatribes are the important part!

Does this mean they’re Alex Jones’s boss now?

He’s gonna get appointed to Trump’s cabinet too, isn’t he?

We think that a goal of analyzing data in under six months is achievable if the data-gathering and climate-modeling labs prioritize it. This entails a small shift by the U.S. agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and the Department of Energy, and international agencies such as Copernicus, the European climate service provider, toward sustained funding instead of one-off research grants.

Right as the MAGAs are about to abolish the NOAA. Perfect timing, no notes. 👩‍🍳😘🤌

Not to mention, it’s easy to say that before Inauguration Day. None of Trump’s tyranny has had a chance to happen yet.

No, this is concrete. Gold would’ve been even heavier.

We’ve been overdue for a revolution at least in copyright law for a long time now.

Ah yes, the hostile architecture approach.

Whenever that happens, the design is wrong.

To be fair, non-malware OSs come with Firefox preinstalled.

It looks like the “good enough” placeholder art that devs put in before they get around to hiring an actual artist. It’s serviceable to understand what things are and what’s happening, but there’s no style to it.
