Whatever you’re putting in the allow list is being allowed.

Usernames, IPs, etc.

Whatever you’re putting in the block list is being… blocked.

English is easy. Fuck off.

How was white and black descriptive?

I remember making a Minecraft server in 2009 and not understanding what whitelist and blacklist meant.

Allow/Block makes sense. White/Black doesn’t.

Or we can be happy they changed it to something easier to understand.

If you’re angry about a word change, when it makes it easier to understand, you’re probably racist.

I’m glad it’s easier to understand, and has the added benefit of PoC feeling more inclusive.

You’re angry because… idk? You’re racist? There’s no other reason to be outraged.

I think calling a block list “black” and an allow list “white” makes no sense.

Allow/block makes sense. White/black makes no sense. Words have meaning, let’s use them properly.

If you’re upset about changing the words to better explain what they do, you’re racist. There’s literally no reason to oppose a word change when it makes it easier to understand.

You mean Apple changed it to a water gun and everyone followed suite as to not have an issue?

Thanks, America, and your mass shootings.

Antisocial people.

It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.

My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.

Tangerine used to have 4-6 digit PIN (no password) to access your online-only account.

Not sure if they still do. I believe so, though.

YouTube isn’t suffering. Lemmy has an active userbase of just over 30K. Given the fact a lot of people have multiple accounts (I do), that’s less than 30K active users.

On top of that, probably less than half of Lemmy users actually cry about YouTube.

Even if we are generous, and say the entirety of Lemmy, and each user is unique, 30K is nothing lol.

They just moved it. It’s still in place. Thanks for proving me right.

Didn’t realize correcting false information is boot licking.

Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.

It was changed a long while ago because of race. Grow up. Stop being outraged and melodramatic over a fucking word change to be more inclusive.

Blacklist = blocked

Whitelist = allowed

Calling things slave/master

Not to mention allow list and block list just make sense.

Racists angry over 1 simple word change that better describes the function of said list.

Just wait until you hear about what his brother wants to do. Privatize healthcare. And conservatives are jumping for joy about it.

Kinda weird that conservatives bitch non stop about a few bucks in taxes, but think paying $15,000 out of pocket for an x-ray is the way.

Go back to your broken Linux and PeerTube lmao

Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.

Except they didn’t drop it.

And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!

No they didn’t. Please stop spreading this false rumour.

Love how Lemmy downvotes anyone who pays for anything. Such a great place for discussion! Definitely no echo chamber here.

Again, doesn’t matter if others have had the problem, because there is a way to fix it and plenty of distros ship with it fixed out of the box. Just because you picked a distro that has the problem, and you are too dumb to fix it doesn’t mean linux is broken. Having a choice in distros and packages is a fundamental principle of linux and that sets it apart from Windows where users have no choices.

Ubuntu, Fedora, and Manjaro have it broken out of the box. Please, tell me which Distro has it fixed out of the box? I would love to try and prove you wrong.

Also you’re literally proving my point. Linux doesn’t “just work” when you need to figure out how to fix it.

How about in Windows when I plug my gopro into it and double click on a video file that it takes 10 seconds before it will start playing? In linux it starts playing instantly. Have you ever tried to run docker services in Windows? It’s an absolute shitshow, but in linux it works flawlessly. See? I can give plenty examples of things working like shit in Windows that work perfectly in Linux. You actually are just an idiot, with no experience, and no idea how computer systems work.

GoPro files run instantly on my PC. Try not having such a potato PC? Not to mention it sounds like in both situations Windows DOES work, in my example, Steam does NOT reach full speed.

What about setting custom keyboard shortcuts? Can’t do it in Windows to the extent of Linux. What about fully customizing your desktop environment? Can’t do it in Windows.

Sounds like you need to learn what words mean. Keyboard shortcuts aren’t preventing Windows from working. Customization isn’t the same as “just working”. Windows does just work. I am not arguing with some asshole on Lemmy about Steam speeds on Windows. It just works.

So just keep trying to cope with the fact that you’re an idiot and you need to used a dumbed down OS that sends off telemetry data and forces ads on you. It’s okay. You’re a dumb dumb and are willing to put up with the shitshow of Windows. It’s okay if you cope by shitting on the superior OS, but it just makes you look like an idiot at the end of the day.

I would use Linux, but it doesn’t work, and the ‘easy fix’ doesn’t exist. Linux is the shit show. Has toxic people like you crying and coping and defending it. Sorry it sucks so bad it doesn’t even get networking, the most basic functionality in 2023, right.

I will tell you how to fix it when you admit that you’re an idiot that has been running their idiot mouth about things they don’t understand… and you apologize for doing it.

Typical response. You don’t know how to fix it. Keep yapping your fat mouth, nothing you say is true.

Enjoy acting like a know it all, when in reality you cannot fix a simple Steam speed issue on Linux lmao.
