DDG gets their results from Bing

Clearly I’m a bastard.

All cool on many things, except one:

they seem to love to hate on Apple there

That’s the only thing they’re right about, though. They shouldn’t have banned you for your comment, especially not if it’s true, but Apple DOES suck in nearly every way possible 🤷

To which, all I can say is:

First off, …HEY! 🧐

Secondly, this isn’t “Goldmember”. Should I arbitrarily hate other countries for shits and giggles? …And who says I’m even Dutch? Maybe I’m like Kirk and I only work in The Netherlands.

Thirdly, they seem to love to hate on Apple there. I had the comeuppance to suggest Jen Simmons and the Safari team actually read the bug submissions (and she’s recently been on numerous videos, podcasts, and in posts on Mastadon saying so) and pushed back on their emoji-malarky.

On some instances, opinions other than the admins need not apply. Hopefully you’re not suggesting as much, even with the digs at the Dutch (who aren’t that bad, but like many, many other countries, aren’t all good either).

Oh, I got banished from a whole instance on Mastadon for saying that the Apple Safari team looks at every bug request (and they do):

Little fucking Napoleons will ruin social media, not matter what platform.

First, you have to catch them. Without plates on the bike, they become anonymous asap.

Secondly, you need to understand us Dutch. Rules are for the Germans, as it’s always smart to ask forgiveness than permission (read: catch us if you can)

Yeah, no kidding. You don’t get to act like a red hatter, acting like your decisions about what constitutes “freedom” disqualifies all others, without being called out for it.

I’m getting so sick of Lemmy… It’s just like the worst parts of Reddit now. No opinion, other than the hive mind. No discussion, besides name-calling and finger pointing, and yeah, they did it first. This place is for children.

So it just shows you to be petty. Was that what you hoped to achieve?

And yet, here we are. Get it yet?

I read that linguistically, Australian English is closer to American than British versions. Having never yet been there but occasionally having a Violet Crumble when available, I can believe it.

Muh sovereignty and mah freedom might be cousins.

…You forgot your red hat

Apple haters have ALWAYS found something to wrap their hate around and then march on parade; this is just the latest. Just join the line at the back…

Or buy something else.

Sounds good to me. Then these annoying posts might stop.

Yeah, but if you just used css variables, this would’ve been a doddle. One and done.

I’m sorry but the solution to every argument is not just to throw of the word “semantic” in the sentence. Context is everything.

Wow - selected is just as bad. How about a less bright background, a border or inverting the gun and text?

The second, Futureworld, was boring but it did have the earliest computer animation committed to film

You think that’s funny… Try living with the Dutch and and their history with the spice islands, and then getting nothing but nutmeg in your food.

Use low to medium heat - too hot and you can make the concentrates bitter or crystallized. 😉 The tea concentrate can be kept in the fridge for about a week, but keep it capped.
