That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it's the nature of life to be hazardous—it's the stuff of living.

  • You don't need think hard about it.

    At any rate whatever your trying to say is not really in context of my initial shitpost.

  • I don't know, I am guessing not.

  • Can someone who justifies russian imperialism and promotes russian propaganda copytext be considered a tankie? :)

    In all seriousness, Chomsky is not tankie.

    That being said, what's with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?

  • I am not right wing. Believe it or not it's possible to be left leaning and not spew gibberish like "NATO made putin invade", "NK is a vanguard against imperialism" and "everything I don't like is a GIA psyop".

    More so if for example you speak fluent russian, you've lived there for multiple years and you've studied the history of russian imperialism (be it in the form of the USSR or its current form).

    I wouldn't say Chomsky is a tankie, but his involvement with US oligarchs and authoritarians does make one wonder...

    FYI, I consider tankies to be supporters of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such models.

  • I don't know. Is Chomsky a tankie?

  • I agree that he is technically not a tankie, I guess campist would be a more accurate term. But considering these recent revelations, one would does wonder...

  • Haha, who could have thought that a tankie would be fine with US authoritarians? )))

  • It means that they thought this was good and convincing sounding market copytext.

  • To be honest, I would say moderation problems are between LW and ML are not comparable.

    I would even argue there isn't any instance-specific issue with LW for new users.

  • Yes, waiting for more migration features.

  • I've moved a small community over. For Hardware, I am waiting for programmatic migration tools.

  • Lemmy, once you get past the landing page that looks like it's selling server storage, half the subs are devoted to things like Marxism.

    ))) The tankie reputation (even though it's not justified at all) strikes again.

  • A lot of the "less active ones" are completely dead. Many mid-tier topics (not niche, but not "meme shitpost") have a sea of dead communities and 1-2 active ones and it's difficult to find them without actually clicking through the full list of results.

  • Doesn't this also connect to Mastodon?

    Also funny how every instance seems to have furry/anime motifs. Nothing wrong with that, I am a big fan of some 80s/90s and early 2000s anime, just thought it's funny. :)

  • That said, for $2K I’d be looking for something with a Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 and 128 gigs of RAM in it.

    As you said, for $2K (I am assuming the real price is closer to $2,200 if it's US style list prices) it is reasonable to expect a Strix Halo system.

    The 7940HS is Zen 4 from ~3 years ago. Single thread performance isn't all that great by modern standards and MT is subpar. Considering the form factor, it's probably not much better than a 5800X (in a real case with strong cooling) from ~5 years ago.

    It's reasonable to expect that a professional, “computers for experts” that's "made for making", has strong ST performance and especially MT for $2K+. Not all professional use cases benefit from GPU compute, many require both ST and MT CPU performance.

    I would argue it's not deceptively good.

  • I know. I moderate !hardware@lemmy.world which I joined initially when finding out about Fedi. I actually started posting/modding there because the only other tech hardware community was on ML. I otherwise I use Piefed.

    I am talking about people in general who don't know the nuances of Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin and the Fediverse in general.

    The lead developer being a fake communist (based in America no less 😂) and supporting russian genocidal imperialism is not a good look for an alternative social network (more so people for living in Europe).

  • The fact that Lemmy devs are genocidal tankies (and manage two of the three tankie instances) is a major issue if you are from Europe and you don't know about how Fedi functions.
