Why is it a problem? Literally every single major social media platform has an ideological slant. Twitter (X) is the nazi one, reddit is the like omega liberal vote blue no matter who one, facebook is mindless reaction, etc. If lemmy.world was considered the “default” instance I could say the same thing about it being different than my own political beliefs.

I think the problem is that people can’t handle seeing places they aren’t welcome anymore. Marxist-Leninists are allowed to have their own spaces, and do not have to cater to other peoples views. There is ALWAYS going to be a dominant ideology and a set of rules on each instance. You don’t agree with the ones lemmy.ml has. That’s okay.

Algorithmic social media silos people into their little boxes where they only see what they want to see. People are so used to that now that imo they’ve forgotten how to handle being faced with a place/group of people who just fundamentally disagree with them, and are not open to hearing what they have to say. Yet that is just reality. People need to learn to deal the fact those places and those people exist.

same. Honestly if I didn’t live in the US I would probably be less anti-american. Living here is very radicalizing.

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”

My reply makes plenty of sense if you know how to read. I didn’t call .ml liberal. Quite the opposite actually.

With Gnome it’s the default to not have one on the desktop view. Then to remove the topbar you just use an extension. Just Perfection gives you a lot of UI tweak options.

哈哈哈哈哈哈美国人。。。；-；

This is really hard to gauge for China specifically, because there’s as you noted no electorally elected officials.

As I noted? Not only did I not say this it’s not true? China has elections…

This resolution therefore affirms that generative AI is neither exempt from nor subject to special rules beyond the standards already expected of Debian contributors. The responsibility for every contribution rests with the contributor who submits it, who remains accountable for its technical quality, legal acceptability, and suitability for inclusion in Debian.

My desire is to have my system function. I like stability. If a project has tons of AI slop being thrown at it it takes time to sift through that and find code that’s not garbage. Debian takes the time to do that. Other distros are much faster paced and simply don’t have the time to do that properly before code shows up on your machine. That’s what I was talking about. The Debian Stable pipeline. I’m downstream so the AI slop should hopefully get noticed and patched out before it reaches me. So I don’t see Debian Stable as AI slop. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe AI will ruin the Debian Project. But I’m hopeful the project’s policies that have kept it going for decades will continue to keep things stable going forward.

Well it’s sort of a parody but the other way. I am parodying stan accounts by making one about Xi Jinping, who I do like, and who is not the typical recipient of a stan account. Also, speaking about democracy being ‘more’ or ‘less’ is odd. I think it’s impossible to do so. Because nobody can agree on what makes things more or less democratic. For example, I think China is more democratic than the US. Not less. Why? Because my metric for the level of ‘democracy’ in a nation is how closely that nations policies match the will of its people and how happy the people are with its policies. Others may say what makes something more democratic is simply more chances to vote on things. Or perhaps they would say the less seperation from the final decision the better. (direct vs representative democracy). So, like I said, a hard thing to discuss without causing confusion by using the same words to mean different things.

idk why you think Debian is AI nonsense but my point was that AI code tends to be shipped without actually being looked at or tested by a human being. Debian is known for being extremely slow to make changes. So by the time stuff gets to stable it has been around long enough that it’s been tested a lot.

Ya the only thing that keeps me from being omega worried about it is that I use Debian and by the time code gets to me that shit has been tested to hell and back. So less likely some AI nonsense is going to break something.

I’d just put them in a different repo that can be toggled on and off by the user. If you don’t want slop you toggle off the slop repo and go about your day.

It’s funny because I actually think learning math the old fashioned way is super important. I used to struggle with math a lot as I’d always had calculators. I went back as an adult and got some old 1980s math textbooks based on Soviet pedagogy (widely considered the best for math at the time) and the impact has been huge. I’ve been building from the ground up math skills that got entirely skipped in school, and feel much better about it now. Calculators are useful but when LEARNING math they should not be used imo. Except maybe to check an answer after you already get it. Doing difficult things is good.

I see what you mean. You get rid of the buttons so you can click and drag the window bar without accidentally clicking them right? I’ve got everything so smushed into one bar it’s like the opposite. Altho I really don’t USE the buttons since I have it in fullscreen all the time and just close things from the Gnome task switcher. So maybe I’ll remove my buttons too. Might be a good idea.

This is what I mean by the bar being all smushed together:

That’s the entire screen. I messed with the browser settings to make it so I had more screen space for the actual webpage.

Do you use the terminal for launching other programs or are you doing things from inside the terminal itself?

You seem to have a ton of screen real estate to work with. Is your monitor really big? I feel like using a small laptop influences what I do a lot since I’m trying to maximize my screen space.

It seems that hotkeys are very popular. I’ve got a few custom ones for media controls (shift+[ or ] for skip/go back, and insert for play/pause) How many different hotkeys are we talking?

lol thanks

Was anyone hiding being a “tankie”? I mean I don’t really use the term I just call it Marxist-Leninist but if that’s what you want to call it I’m fine with that. I mean I’m clearly not trying to hide my political views if you look at my username. Not sure what you needed “evidence” for. But more power to ya i guess.
