I’ll start it off:

Windows is a perfectly fine OS, as long as you use Enterprise or Server (Home and Pro are crap)
Self driving cars are the future since the US won’t fully embrace mass transit

I agree with the hivemind's general direction, but I really hate its absolutist thinking style, which dictates:

Every issue has exactly two sides: the Right side and the Wrong side, and they're extreme opposites.
Nuances don't exist; if you think they do you're just shilling for the Wrong Side.
Moral and ethical purity are expected of everyone, zero tolerance, no allowance for human weakness - and if you don't agree then obviously you would forgive Hitler for "human weakness".
Everybody is the worst person they've ever been. If you cured cancer and brought about world peace, you'd still be a piece of shit for Liking a misogynistic tweet in 2015, and so is anyone who hasn't taken you off their Friend list and spat on you.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.

Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
