a good write up on the subject https://redsails.org/china-has-billionaires/

It’s worth noting that Lemmy has plenty of different instances where opinion varies widely, including heavily liberal ones. I also don’t believe in free speech absolutism because some views, like fascism, are objectively harmful. The way I look at it is the real issue with echo chambers comes from people becoming divorced from reality because they only interact with people who hold identical views. I don’t see this being a major problem on Lemmy instances I frequent.

And by that you mean that the views here diverge from the echo chamber you’re comfortable living in.

The big difference is that commercial platforms are opaquely curated by corporate interests who decide what people see, what content is allowed, and so on.

Today I learned that the EU is older than the US actually!

Chuds living under capitalism, blaming communism for their underdevelopment will never stop being hilarious.

lol quite possibly, although it seems like return to sanity might be starting to happen there

Ooh, I like that!

Also the Canadian Liberal leadership race right now. https://www.readthemaple.com/chrystia-freeland-must-account-for-her-nazi-collaborator-grandfather/

They’re not bad positions for him to hold. Kallas keeps pretending that her family was oppressed during communism, but in reality they were part of the system and greatly benefited from it.

love it

lol yes!

Nah, Elon did a nazi salute. Fascism in US shouldn’t shocking to anybody who’s even minimally historically literate. German nazis pretty much used the US as the model after all.

Every western country has neonazis, but only Ukraine has them in top levels of government and military.

do go on

cya

It’s precisely the kind of thing I would not want to figure out by hand, but it’s fairly easy to validate that it does what I want it to. The use case here is well defined, and it’s pretty easy to write tests for the expected behaviors. In general, I like to treat tests as contracts for the functionality of the app.

Meanwhile, the same argument would apply to hand written regex as well. People write code that works on a happy path, but breaks in some corner case all the time. This is a common occurrence without LLMs.

My experience is much better, these tools basically replaced stuff like stack overflow for me, and save me a ton of time writing boilerplate.

You should really learn what non sequitur means if you insist on using it.

I guess it’s inarguable since you said it with such conviction…

And provided you with a sourced reference detailing the situation. But hey why acknowledge that when you can just spew more bullshit?

It’s fairly unanimous that the protest were mainly against Viktor Yanukovych.

Protests by whom?

Wow, such a good argument. How can anyone compete with the sophisticated rebuttal of “not uh”.

Literally just described your side of the thread here haven’t you.

Lol, anytime anyone disagrees with you it’s trolling.

Nope, just people who spew nonsense as a form of argument.

By taking away the wealth of the oligarchs who supposedly handed over power to the US in the first place? Sure.

Last I checked Blackrock owns large chunks of Ukraine now, but do go on.

Why is it that all Russian nationalist argue in the same exact way?

I could ask you why liberal trolls all have the same script too.
