1·2 days agoOP was not actually posing anything coherent
Yeah, agreed.
I’m not hugely on board with the comment answering the second question though. For me, it’s a bit too similar to saying that meteorologists lied to us because they said there was a 60% chance of rain and it didn’t happen. In the context of this question its a lot more complicated than that though
That seems like a statement. I’m still lost on how this answers the question
4·5 days agoThe account is two days old!??
I wish there were block lists here like in Bluesky. I name them as groups of why I’m blocking them like “needlessly aggressive”.
When did Ukrainian come into it? I went back to the article but half of it was behind a paywall
I just did a scroll through the posts returned for a search of “gary marcus” and didn’t see too much. His newsletter hits a lot of the main beats if you just want occasional updates when something happens. It doesn’t look too much like a channel exists though

You choose to right click download and then… assume the only use anyone wants is to store their art in ones and zeros?
I think you need to prefix this with “some”. I’m not sure your point even holds for “most”
For profit system!?
I’m pretty sure every time I’ve seen humans get together there’s someone trying to get more of something than the other people. Even in communes or communities without money like jails (and in the romanticised tribal past). Some parts of economic theory help predict these outcomes even in places that aim for these ideals.
Where are you seeing evidence of a system that’s close to what you’re describing that’s functional, stable over time, and more than a few isolated individuals?
You have a niece that’s a poor student but talented at art.
You clone her painting, sell for a profit, keep the money.
Same issue different specifics.
You’re still aggressively okay with this and would still use sophisticated language to slander the niece’s actions?
I’d argue memes that duplicate other peoples work are common but questionable on the ethical front.
Kind of like how alcohol consumption is common and got shoehorned in through our long history with it but newer drugs are more likely to have people question their cost to society (and demonise them usually for political gain, still many have some obvious costs).
If you’re a small family store that makes an amazing recipe and people love it, and you keep that recipe a secret. You’re honestly okay with a competitor stealing it? Not a competitor making a bad ripoff, but finding a way to get the recipe and using that to clone the meal for a profit.
Obviously with larger companies it’s easier to say fuck them but investing time in something and then having it taken is a hit even if its “information”, isn’t it?
I’m not very bilingual but I grew up with English and have spent a few months in Latin America.
I noticed that in English I now say Mexico the Spanish way when I’m with local people, but the English way when I’m visiting friends in the US. I always say it the Spanish way in Spanish, and don’t think I use any regional accents.
That doesn’t change the logic I gave
Why? Lemmy seems great
I honestly hadn’t noticed this. I see it in ICE though
What if there is a popular joke that relies on bad math that happens to be your question. Then the alignment is understandable and no indication of accuracy. Why use a tool with known issues, and overhead like querying six, instead of using a decent tool like Wolfram alpha?
I think your maths is off. If every, or most, popular films in 2010 were remade, I think you would be even more irritated.

I can’t be bothered justifying this too much. Canada and Australia elections completely flipped in huge swings. India, China and Russia are a lot more chummy than they have been. Whole trade routes have changed like Brasil sending soy beans to China now. US is trying to directly punish Brazil with tariffs for sentencing an (rightwing) ex-President for an attempted coup. The US is bailing out Argentina to help the rightwing Presidents economic plan succeed. NATO, and hence europe, has had effects with Trump flip flopping. It’s hard to imagine Trump’s flip flopping and chaos talking about things like turning Gaza into resorts didn’t contribute to Israel taking stronger militant action in the middle east. USAID was dropped with projected deaths around 14 million.
True, large corporations still have large effects on legislation in most countries, and your own personal groceries / interest repayments may not have changed that much but I think that’s a bit different than trying to say there was little difference globally between these two people being in power
Yeah, I started on Voyager. Seeing channels and sidebar for the instance my account is registered to works and easy to find / navigate to.
For other instances, you say that you have to “go” to the other instance. I find it easy to go to a known community on the other instance. And I find it easy to find the sidebar for a known community on another instance. How do I go to the other instance and not the community though?
For example on load, it loads
Post>Home(I think this is configurable in settings so not everyone but it’s not so important for these steps). Then you can clickCommunitiesin the menu. Then if you are subscribed to a community that is on a different instance you can click it and open it. When you open the sidebar, the sidebar is for that community, not the instance. I see no way to:I clicked around a little, but sorry if I’m missing something obvious.
As an example of the difference in the sidebar for different instances you load these two URLs and compare:
And the channels that would be nice to scroll separately are:
Interestingly though, the sidebar for lemmy.ml doesn’t say much and wouldn’t have helped me with the behaviour that caused me to drop “[email protected]”. Someone explicitly said that the ml stood for Marxist Leninists and plenty of users tends to write as if that’s true and also be a bit more militant / ideological than I prefer in my interactions… but it’s completely missing from any mention in the sidebar.
