No you can’t. The only way to turn off PRs on a public repo is to migrate away from GitHub.

He made a comment in a discussion, as can anyone. People disagree with his comment. Intervention my ass, all he did is express his opinion, which everyone is free to ignore.

What’s black mirror-like about better screens?

What does that have to do with the article though? The technology in question is not intended for implants.

What are you guys talking about, what eyeball, what computer in a lens? This is supposed to be a new display technology for smart glasses or VR headsets.

And yet FUTO clearly attempt to keep up a false image of being the good guys, which doesn’t seem like openly being the bad guys.

By that logic the word “openly” is meaningless.

says he isn’t a thief

Well that’s the entire issue, isn’t it? If he says he isn’t a thief, then he’s a thief who clearly isn’t open about it. Just like Mike isn’t openly a nazi, he’s just a nazi who’s lying about not being one.

Exactly my point, and yet the commenter claims FUTO do that, even though they obviously aren’t, because who would.

Try Ente Photos, I like it more.

Do words mean anything anymore? That is an argument for them being fascists. But how are they “openly” fascist? Where is their statement, where they openly state “we are fascists”?

Because they might be, but I don’t think they ever openly said so.

It should be right-aligned so that the timestamp and status is visible against a light background. But it’s left-aligned due to a bug.

No, the US isn’t a democracy either

Of course it would be wrong. And not hypocritical.

But I guess a Trump voter like you would never understand the difference.

You are still missing the point, judging by the “to justify it”, since I never said anything is trying to justify anything. I just recognize the difference between “bad” and “hypocritical”. You can do a bad thing and not be a hypocrite, you can do a good thing and be a hypocrite.

If you use a car. You are okay using cars.

Correct. Which doesn’t conflict with my point at all. The person in that example is okay using cars. Where they are legal. And wants to make them legal in less places. Nothing hypocritical about it.

I agree. And I think that not in all of such situations you would be misaligned with your values.

For example you may argue for making cars illegal, while you yourself own a car. You are not being a hypocrite, you are hoping that if cars were illegal, society would become more bike-friendly which is your ultimate goal, enabling you to stop needing a car.

Key point being that you are not telling others not to own car, or not to buy investment properties while you yourself do. That would be hypocritical. Arguing for these things being illegal is not hypocritical, because it would affect you all the same.

What does that have to do with my comment? Again, the question is not whether it’s bad. It is bad, but it’s totally besides the point. Housing was just an example anyway.

OP is asking if it’s hypocritical to argue against a bad thing being commonplace, while doing the bad thing yourself. Another example could be campaigning for stricter car emission laws while owning a car that wouldn’t meet them.

It being unnecessary is what it makes it bad, but it doesn’t make it hypocritical.

It would be hypocritical to own investment properties while telling other people not to.

It wouldn’t be hypocritical to campaign for making it illegal to have them (which would affect you all the same).

In both scenarios your are contributing to the problem, but you aren’t a hypocrite in both.

Your comment only argues it’s bad, which is not the question. The question is if it’s hypocritical.

I agree with you that it’s bad, and also think it’s not hypocritical to e.g. campaign for making owning investment properties illegal while owning an investment property. You are still the bad guy here but it’s not hypocritical to want a world where the bad thing you are doing is is no longer a thing, if for example the person in question thinks it would be unfair for them to miss out on the investment “while everyone else is doing it”.

Your are the bad guy but no, you are not a hypocrite.

It would be hypocritical to tell others not to own investment properties while you do.
