  • I lean socialist, but yeah fuck this. Ukraine should be liberated as much as Palestine, Nepal, and the Philippines. Fuck authoritarian simps.

    The ONLY conflict that should concern us all is the class conflict.

    If so called “leftists” think that solidarity doesn’t extend to their favorite oppressed people, then they aren’t leftists. They are fascists in disguise who associate with an in-group juxtaposed against an out-group. Leftists must realize that EVERYONE is part of the in-group, even fascists themselves. For if their material lives were well nourished and enriched, they wouldn’t feel the need to hate.

    Now, I have heard that there has been and may still be corruption in the Ukrainian government. That corruption doesn’t give permission for other countries to invade and take over, though. If anything, internal affairs should be dealt between the opposing sides PEACEFULLY and DEMOCRATICALLY. If things do come to violence, those internal seeking to restore a democratic system of government should be supported more by those external than the opposing side of corruption.








  • Welcome!

    Some tips:

    • You can block other users, other communities, and other instances yourself; you don’t have to wait for the mods or admins to do that for you

    • If a mod or an admin of an instance choose to block certain things that you disagree with, you can sign up for another instance with your same name, assuming nobody’s taken it; you won’t be able to transfer your comments, votes, or posts though; there’s been feedback given to the Lemmy devs about this

    • Search by Everything and Active to see new posts show up in your feed daily

    • There’s lots of diverse opinions on Lemmy, but they tend to concentrate around politics and tech; maybe consider starting your own community or instance if there’s something here you want to see!

    • To use the Discord analogy, Lemmy instances are Discord communities, Lemmy communities are Discord channels, and users are just users; we’ll often write c/Whatever to refer to a community, but due to the Federated nature of Lemmy, you may find a community like c/Politics on multiple instances (like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml); not sure if the Lemmy devs have a fix for this

    This sounds like the GDP meme:

    Two programmers are coding in a terminal when they come across a board of scrum tasks.

    The first programmer says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to vibe code that task.” The second programmer takes the $100 and vibe codes the scrum task using their favorite AI.

    They continue coding until they come across a code review from the senior dev, rejecting the pull request. The second programmer turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to clean up that vibe code”. The first programmer takes the $100 and cleans up the vibe code, using actual skill and no AI.

    Coding a little more, the first programmer looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to vibe code, then you gave me back the same $100 to clean it up. I can’t help but feel like we both just used AI for nothing.”

    “That’s not true”, responded the second programmer. “We fed the AI our code so it would be even smarter next time!”

    Narrator: it never did and will never get smarter.





  • My next phone will be a Linux phone.

    I was on board the Fairphone hype, and while I think they have a good message, I actually think Pine64 does exactly what they do - just without the flashy marketing. Fairphone still uses AOSP as the basis for their OSes, so there is still a risk of hardware lockout by Google. This is leaving alone other issues like no headphone jack and USB 2.0 for the latest generation’s USB-C.

    This is actually the same reason I think Ecosia won’t succeed in the long term unless they build their own search engine. Luckily it looks like they’ve already started delivering results as of last month.

    I should also mention that the PinePhone isn’t Scott free from criticism either. Think I read somewhere that the camera is borked because the latest firmware or software update messed with the camera module functionality. No real fix for that soon, which sucks.
