I think it’s especially the money and LGBTQ+ and non sexual norms that are driving people to the right. I notice when I talk to a lot of younger guys theyre tired of hearing about it.

Because it’s pushed on so much of their TV shows and things they like that they side with political candidates that are conservative at a young age and they further grow into it. These are conservative candidates with lots of money usually.

I hate to say it but it was universally cool to defend LGBT people when the media and TV shows didn’t push it. Because you were defending an oppressed person. Now it more so feels like it’s popular which means it’s no longer an obscure thing, the anti culture is the new trend.

I want to disclaim that I don’t agree with any of this other than to say this is my observation of the behavior. I play rainbow six ranked on Xbox and use the looking for group party finder with a buddy of mine. We group up and encounter a lot of guys in the army and Marines, a lot of teenagers and this is cumulatively the culture I’ve heard. Same thing on like world of warcraft classic and using discord to raid but those guys run older typically.

No. They’ll just name an entire lineup of the worlds biggest computers after your daughter.

Gaming. It used to be an MMO for like $15 a month. Now it’s a new game for $70, the game has DLC for $20-$30 or skins or some battle pass.

I had the same idea but there’s a lot of actual tangible assets that have to be dealt with.

The first part is picking a pilot country which is probably where the developer lives. The second is either investing in or partnering with Fast ship locations - you need a service or partner that you can use like Amazon prime to store inventory across a country, and last is shipping and delivery maybe it’s baked in. I bet there’s a company that does this that has an API or partnership program.

In other words you have to establish partnerships or literally incentivize real people to invest in order to create the same value as Amazon. The magic of amazon isn’t really that’s it’s like eBay and buying things online, it’s that I can get it so soon.

Ah yeah the guy who opposed Putin

Yeah surprise he’s dead

• Too much fluff on interweb
• assume others online are writing in brevity

I’ll generalize and say there are many my age in their 20s that watch things like TikTok and shorts that are conditioned for the fastest intake of media. This means ignoring the written word outside of texts.

Even myself, if I see a wall of text in an article, I know to skip the fluffer ad-reads down to paragraph three, then skim. To be fair most articles could be wrapped up to maybe two paragraphs but get extended for ad spots. Outside the context of reading articles on say lemmy, especially online, there is a largely missed hear mean not what I’m saying operating in good faith that often gets missed online. For example if someone posts an article about how smoking kills you, and I post a comment that “yes but its a creature comfort” I am not refuting it kills you - I’m merely suggesting that its a rough world and that people have vices to cope.

Nuance and assumption that we’re acknowledging it is often lost on people.

Are those the super communists that are like fuck any place that’s not Russia and China? Lol

If so I guess I feel the pain but I just give em the block

Things are fine man. There’s just a lot of de federation lately which I don’t think is exactly right.

“I archived them all Padme. They’re gone…every single one of them. And not just the minor tickets.”

I see the issue. You’re on Lemmygrad. So naturally everything has to be pro China, pro communism, and the moment someone says “yeah they all suck equally” you have to lick the boot. Seek a prescription for schizophrenia.

Fuck you right in your ass. I complained that everyone in here is pitching their agenda for their favorite country in the comments and what do you do? Exactly that. Learn to read.

I want to call out a few QoL things here that will help lemmy:

• There are a lot of read-the-headline-not-the-article commenters which is natural in an aggregation feed of links; there are numerous posts a day where people rewrite the news’ headlines to fit their agenda where the actual article and articles headline doesn’t reflect ANY of what they’re suggesting. if you run these sub lemmies for news on your server, I encourage you to use a bot or enforce rules for news that simply scrapes the title out of the link. Otherwise people will post news links that lead to a real source but have a false headline.
• There is a staggering amount of people pushing for oddities like child porn acceptance and I keep seeing it. Unless an entire server is compromised, reach out to the mods and ask to get subs cleaned up. Give moderators the benefit of the doubt and a chance to act without breaking federation completely. Its important Lemmy moderates content but also communicates well amongst each other when something is going wrong.

Its far more weird how many people pick one of these countries like its a RPG faction. Can we all agree most of these countries do some totally evil things as far as governments go? Who gives a fuck how much debt they’re in, they’re all just printing their monopoly dollars anyways and we’re stuck with the inflation. Its like people like to masterbate to their favorite team via internet comments.

There’s a twitch streamer I watch and he often says that he feels like he can’t find information about Ukraine, then goes on to elaborate that there just isn’t many sources available to the US to find news without propaganda cooked in. It’s hard to know what to even trust in the first place.

I feel strongly that applies to reading articles about China as well especially if they’re written in English.

Thank you for taking the time to post and add in more links.

I think both China and the US as well as many other countries have insane financial positions, for quite some time now. The housing market in the US really painted that clearly. As I understand it in 2014ish the US passed legislature allowing companies to legally do the same thing they did that causes the housing market collapse again. According to the movie the big short at least, and some googling with that.

For code snippets especially. I mean the thing is limited to input sizes and doesn’t remember context of running conversations that well

For sure but it also depends on how deep your wallets are to invest in that. Whether that means literal compensation or just your time.

Write code to test your code then repl build and run it anyways and smoketest it to see if it actually works

Sounds like activities for people who don’t have real work to do. These tech layoffs cut deep because there was so much fluff in the industry. I sort of blame these companies that marketed devops too hard and oversold overcomplicated solutions, but it’s also the fault of the tech leads advising managers.

I don’t think GitHub is social enough or the right tool to address bugs, talk about issues, or completely missing - ask for expertise. It’s not even democratic enough and done in such a way that makes what to work on clear at times.

Some code is still more art than work or science but still there is a notion that maybe if there was a better tool than GitHub there would be no need for a discord.
