There’s also the possibility of having genuinely good intent, but still speaking entirely from your own conjecture of what might make others uncomfortable.
Ultimately, you should always talk to the people actually affected and take action based on that. But anyone can and should start the initiative when they think something is harmful.
There was no value judgement in mine (or the other guys) comment, that’s entirely your victim complex. Of course I would rather china not try to destroy our local markets but that is very very low on the list of things to hate the ccp for and I can’t say it’s fundamentally morally wrong in the world we live in either.
It’s just a fact that it’s subsidized and your propaganda that it’s cheap because china is just better at manufacturing is a flat out lie.
Maybe understand the very basics of trade wars first lol
They’re that cheap because the chinese government pays for them to be that cheap. It also helps that they exploit their workforce as much as possible, but they still wouldn’t be as cheap as they are without the subsidies.
The good thing is that all sane instances can just defederate and we won’t have to deal with them. They can use the software all they want, and we can shut them out from our spaces all we want.
Small correction: Them sitting on it and growing isn’t quite it doing nothing - for it to grow, the money has to be somewhere in the economy “doing” things. Then the rich person gets money for doing nothing because the company (and by extension its workers) are partially “theirs”.
The benefit of a wealth tax is less freeing up that money, and more so not enabling rich people to spend the money they get for doing nothing on excessive luxuries that only serve to pollute the planet and take up resources that could be used for useful things (and also doing something against excessive wealth accumulation in general, which is imo capitalisms greatest flaw - money leads to more money, and money = power, and we are living in the reality resulting from that)
Bad life rng, I think
For me it got progressively worse for the next 12 years then suddenly better and then suddenly even better after uni. But I’m lucky to have a job that pays well, that I don’t hate, with great colleagues.
It’s a great tool for the right tasks. What’s annoying is that it’s marketed as being a great tool for tasks it can barely do.
It has really sped up the process of writing things in languages I’m unfamiliar with. All the stupid little mistakes it will find much faster than trying to google them. As long as you’re critical of the answers I also found it pretty good at explaining how to do things. It will often get some details wrong but as long as you have general programming ability and access to documentation you can usually figure those out somewhat easily.
Happens very frequently in gaming communities because european servers often get abbreviated as EU, so people just keep using it to mean europe in other contexts.
Honestly unsure if the times I’ve used euro is just because someone else did first or because I felt it necessary to distinguish from the EU and didn’t feel like writing “european” (though actually yea, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it used by europeans to mean “Europe”, only “european”).
I’ve used it sometimes, as have others I know. The most common I’ve seen and use is still “EU” to just mean europe though. In contrast to “the EU”, which is the European Union.
It seems to somehow come through. At least my grandma, who is now in a retirement home and I’m pretty sure gets her news only from TV and radio, lists netanyahu in the same sentence as trump and putin as horrible people that should really die asap.
The few articles from traditional media I’ve read myself did feel that way though.
If you’re trying to play a real time online game, you will notice if your upload capacity is hogged elsewhere.
Same with anything using TCP because you need to send packets back.
Satire based on Israel’s rhethoric I’m assuming.
And I’d bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn’t mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.
The citations metric is also slanted, because pretty much all countries will cite english papers regardless of the language of the paper being written, but all non anglo countries also produce a significant part of papers in the local language, which are much less likely to get cited.
It’s the result of weird ethical standards, which make the side effects justifiable for women since women experience all sorts of effects from periods that can in some cases get better with hormonal birth control. The fact that someone (many people I’m sure) might choose to deal with these side effects in exchange for their partner not having to, or just for additional safety, doesn’t factor in there.
I honestly think it’s rooted in the same beliefs that also make it hard to get any permanent body alterations done if not deemed “medically necessary”. Things like a vasectomy or HRT, both of which reportedly have tons of hoops to jump through to get them.
A lack of trust in people to be able to decide what to do with their own bodies.
Does AI just generate a font now and use that for text? I’m asking because the letters seem to be entirely consistent which I don’t think would happen if the text was image-gend.
There’s also a good chance it’s just the image that was AI generated and someone did manually add the text, easiest check might be to reverse search without the text.
Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It’s gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn’t have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).
Though there’s a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.
I’ve come to realize that this is all stock markets. They are vibes-based, in their entirety. Often the vibes coincide with economic reality, sometimes you have a powerful person bullshitting enough people to make the value go up (or down) which at a certain point leads to even those that weren’t fooled to join in because the price change is real.
Yeah, what people forget is that even average americans (and central/northern europeans and some other plaves) are quite wealthy from a global perspective. Many people on lemmy, self included, are in that global 10%.
And many of those emissions aren’t something you can just avoid either, they often come as a result of being a user of local infrastructure etc.
The original audio after mastering is also still called a master, but I haven’t seen anyone complain about that. And that (as well as the same meaning for other media) is the word that the branch name master came from, so etymology can’t really be an argument there (though I also think etymology is terrible reasoning for renaming something in general).
