  • Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint

  • It's not really surprising - historically, the creation Israel state was helped massively by antisemitists, who wanted to get rid of jews in their own country and having them a place to immigrate to would be the easiest option (the phenomena is often referred to as Zionist antisemitism).

    So yeah, it does make sense - they can hate the jews, but also support Israel at the same time.

  • This has to be a joke...

  • I remember making a comment once on .ml about how a news source they linked isn't too credible, with mediafactbiascheck as source for that claim (as the site had historically gotten their news wrong), and the comment got removed for "blogspamming" or something lmao

    There's certainly a degree of powertripping going over there with the mods, and I do feel like this one is gonna be removed as well for "bigotry" against mods or something

  • Vulkan or DirectX on Linux?

    Jump

  • Directx 11 in this case, played bg3 on Linux and that was the only option that worked, and it did work quite well.

    As for when to use one or the other, just check protondb. People usually leave what they played on, they even leave some useful launch commands or solutions to issues that could possibly arise, so it's always worth a look.

  • Russia has forked Wikipedia, featuring "better truths"

    Jump

  • Suspect this might be clickbait, they didn't ban the original wiki. I've asked a friend of mine from Russia to verify this and they were able to access the 'old' wiki, both English and Russian version just fine.

  • The west, so afraid of strong government, now has no government. Only financial power. Slogans such as "governments have limited power by design" come from well-paid researchers, think tanks funded by big businesses. It's privately funded propaganda, like the Trilateral Commision in United States, for instance.

  • If the government decides to privatize utilities like electricity/gas or whatever, then sure it is freedom for some rich business owners to open up new businesses. However, this also results in those utilities becoming profit driven (as opposed to being for the public), and literally everyone in the country having to pay much more than they were paying previously.

    My country had electricity privatized around 4 years ago, and in result we have to pay a lot more, not to mention about numerous fraud cases that were all over the news during and after the privatization period.

    If you think that rich business owners being able to open up a couple of business at the expense of fucking over the public is a good thing and being against it is some weird hexbear delusion, then I'd advise you to get out of the libertarian bubble and look at the real world instead.

  • How many communities are you subscribed to?

  • 0 cause I feel there's not enough content to have subscriptions so I just scroll by top/active.

  • Damn, I had a malicious version installed on my Arch machine. I've since done a system update which removes the backdoor, but looking more into it, it does seem that only fedora and debian(?) are affected/targeted but better safe than sorry.

  • The world is warming faster than scientists expected | Fossil fuel groups and investors cannot afford to ignore the warnings

    Jump

  • Yeah they can ignore them, but in a different way - notice how the conservative and even some liberal types went from denying climate change so there shouldn't be any action taken to acknowledging climate change but refusing to do anything because "it's not a big deal" or whatever to nowadays fully acknowledging climate change but saying that it's too late for any sort of action to be taken.

  • And don't forget RTFM

    Jump

  • There's pretty much only two ways you can go about it in my experience:

    1. Fail forwards and try cobbling something together, constantly using search engines to fix errors or finding libraries or getting help with those libraries. One thing you'd have to figure out is an order of operations - what do you code and in what order, which might be tough for someone new but I'd say it's well worth it.
    2. Find some tutorial to a project and try following it (those that have step by step guide on what you should do without letting you copy paste code), then using the knowledge you gain to do the way #1 above to hopefully have an easier time figuring out the order of operations, plan out your program and what you're gonna be coding.

    Don't think you can avoid getting hands-on and coding something up by yourself. General coding tutorials can only get you so far and are often harmful if abused too much (aka being stuck in tutorial hell).

  • ‘Andrew Tate is a symptom, not the problem’: why young men are turning against feminism

    Jump

  • While feminism is far from perfect, especially smaller circles that want to have unfair divorce rights for women or whatever, people like Andrew Tate are both the problem (as in, spreading the classic incel rhetoric) and the symptom (why young adults and teens follow people like him).

    Though not only him, but also a lot of right-wing youtube channels are pushing false narratives in order to get outrage clicks and to radicalize people against things like feminism. You have youtube videos that say how "feminism is trying to ruin men" or "crazy feminists want to remove sexy girls from video games" or "feminists don't care about men", and given the amount of right-wing youtube videos that get hundreds of thousands and not millions of views, a lot of people do believe it. In reality, however, men do have issues and feminists are acknowledging them and are trying to do something about it (for example, toxic masculinity being responsible for male loneliness for instance), but also things like patriarchy, discrimination and so on.

    Hating feminism and/or women isn't going to solve male loneliness. Actual societal-level change, something that feminists are striving for, is the answer.

  • Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature

    Jump

  • Seeing many comments here shitting on this decision by google, is this really that big of a deal? I've personally never used the cached feature of Google and if I ever needed to see a page that is currently down, it'd be via wayback machine. If nobody used the feature, why have it waste a ton worth of storage space? Feel free to prove me wrong though.
