He's still around. I see his posts all over my feedso maybe you don't see him because you blocked him? But he's still around and posts every day
NOTHING is stopping a conservative from coming here and making cogent, factual arguments, aside from their own fragility.
Except for all the Lemmys saying that no conservatives should be allowed on Lemmy. I have seen conservatives try to ask a question. Then so many immediately jump to calling the poster a sealioning nazi, that they just get run off. Lemmy is one of the more hateful places I have seen.
I'm not conservative by the way, so you all don't have send me nazi dm's.
You don’t have to subscribe to political communities if you don’t want to see political discussion.
True but it seems like the majority of Lemmys like attaching anything and everything to something political. I saw some post about a squirrel or something, just chiling in the heat. Supposed to be cute. Immediately devolved into how fat the squirrel looked and how it must be a MAGA squirrel. Then the conversation just devolved into "cheeto man"(stupidist overused Lemmy term ever!) jokes over and over.
Also, Lemmy: why the fuck do you all think saying "cheeto man" is so hilarious? It's something that 2nd graders would snicker at. Once. And you all say it over and over. WTF?! No wonder you all can't get girlfriends.
It’s just as much a left-wing echo chamber as Truth Social is a right-wing one - and that’s a problem in both cases.
Very much so. And it seems to be getting even worse lately. I mostly post socialist and third party stuff, but if I dare say I don't like a democrat or something, I get automatic "YOU'RE ACTUALLY A TRUMPER!! MAGA-NAZI!!!"
Bans and hateful DM's. All because I don't like the 2-party system. lol
Yep, I had same reaction. Since there are so many tech nerds on here, as most early adopters are, I thought that community would have a lot more content. But I'll be adding to it soon enough since I just started to learn programming! :)
This is more to do with most Lemmy users being shut-in nerds not inclined to sports tbh.
Totally this. The amount of shut-in nerds on here, with strange obsessive habits of stalking people who disagree with them, is wild.
I've seen people mention wanting to talk more sports on here, and some of the hate and downvotes those posts get is insane.
Earlier today and yesterday, people in this community were saying that Iran doesn't have nukes, isn't making nukes, can't make nukes, and that republicans are just making it up.
Looks like republican christian nationalists have no problems shooting people then eh?? They don’t care about either side
Well he certainly didn't have a problem with it. They also found a list with other names too, so it's good they caught him before he did even more stuff. I thought for sure he'd off himself before he got caught. I'm glad he didn't thought, because now he'll spend rest of his life in prison like he deserves.
But violence isn't the answer. For him or anyone else. And besides his senseless killings, they were also pointless. He didn't stop politics at all.
So just like anyone would want to do this to republicans, nothing would change, and the politics of republicans won't change at all. Luigi didn't change anything at all.
I don't think violence is the solution to anything in any circumstance, regardless of how many downvotes I get on Lemmy for saying that.
Lemmy, ya can stop with the nasty DM's to me; I'm not even republican! lol
Do you think there’s any reason to believe that these tools are going to continue their breakneck progress?
I do.
And as I mentioned in another comment, it's not so much that I think AI will do a better job, it's that I think MANAGEMENT will think AI does a cheaper job. Already many tech people who have been laid off are saying it's the worst job market they've ever seen.
AI sucks. But management is about dollars NOW. The are shortsided, fall into fads, and they will see the cost savings now as outweight the long term problems. I don't agree with them, I am saying they will do that tho. Even if we don't agree.
To copy what someone else in this thread said:
The idea that AI will some day be good at coding isn’t the issue. The issue is that some people in management think it’s already well on the way to being a good substitute, and they’re trying to do more with fewer coders to everyone’s detriment.
I don’t remember being that impressed with HTDP but it’s been a while and I didn’t look much. I’d say read SICP first in either case.
I actually read that HTDP was written to be read before SICP, because they thought that for a beginner, some of the core fundamentals in SICP may be missed.
dubee.org seems to have shut down as of today
