Yep.

now we all pay the price for a few people’s gain.

This is just what they would call “freedom”, without any of hint of irony.

That’s not remotely what happened. Does it make you feel better to turn the truth into a cartoon with no nuance and obvious villains? I don’t suspect you’ll be argued into being reasonable, but people reading the comments should know that you are spreading lies.

Linus used an LLM to experiment in a branch. There is absolutely no evidence that he actually submitted any kernel code written by an LLM. He shouldn’t have to hide his experiments with technology because some people are mindless drones who will become enraged and lie about what he’s actually done.

People are opposed to preventing the spread of misinformation, but it would be 99% conservatives saying that. Not sure you’ll find too many people here who will make that argument.

Fate has really been giving us the bird on that one so far. Think of all the people that have died since 2016. So many of them younger and all more deserving of life than Hitler 2.0. The day he dies is going to be truly insane. People are going to be dancing in the streets. The cars honking for hours and literal street dancing happened here when he lost in 2020. People are going to lose their minds, and it will absolutely be justified. I too cannot wait.

Gotcha, thanks. I’m pretty rusty on my art history, and Greek mythology for that matter.

Oh yeah. Our very uneducated population in America is about to get a lot dumber. It’s frightening.

Care to explain?

Yeah I know I’m not my job. It’s my ability to stop working a job that worries me most. Capitalism is a soul sucker.

Genuinely good reminder about having fun though. I need to focus more on the now than the someday.

I’m guessing they’re saying that small/fewer breakages are less painful than big/numerous breakages.

Yeah. The uncertainty of that inevitable burst is also a source of anxiety for me.

I had correctly tagged you years ago, though I should’ve also added “armchair psychologist”. I won’t miss you.

Put “liberal” in quotes, meaning randos getting accused of being that, and you’d be correct. It’s very common.

We have a very different experience here. I’ve probably blocked 50 users (who demonstrated tankie/other “leftist” zealotry) who expressed hatred and sometimes even death threats after they projected beliefs onto me that I do not hold.

The last time I could’ve been labelled a capitalist was 25 years ago when I knew nothing but propaganda. I am not one. Yet many many users called me that here and declared me a liar if I deny it. This would literally never happen anywhere else. Anywhere else I would be called a leftist. And I live in a very blue city in the US.

I have to bow out on this one.

Who was that comment written for? “Neoliberals get upset…” It was written with a dual purpose. 1) virtue signalling (I am morally righteous, unlike others) 2) “all these neoliberals on here are gonna be put in their place by this post. Ha!”

Considering there isn’t really a big population of neoliberals here, and given the constant tankie circle jerking I see here every day, I don’t feel my assumptions here are at all unwarranted.

Yes I’m at the mercy of the cruel hatemongers. Unless I submit to their hatred, I am a coward. Thanks for identifying yourself.

A better question is why are you okay with the strife? You either don’t notice which is not plausible, or you’re a target or perpetrator of the bile. Those last two options are not at all pleasant.

All the time. I hate the strife. I hate the fact that like 10% of the users here are hateful zealots or bigots. Now why do you ask if you aren’t looking to pick a fight?

I don’t see anyone saying they’re a liberal except one dude. And I think they’re using the word like Americans have traditionally for years: “left of center”.

As far as the oil comment… found only one like that also…? https://lemmy.world/comment/26330242

I maintain from years of experience that most people on the platform would be considered very left by the average person on the street. Yet despite that, there seems to be a continual witch-hunt for secret “conservatives”. To me, that’s basically all this post ever was. A signal to the “the real leftists” to say “anyone less than full on socialist causes climate change because they are bad people”. You can either think to yourself “that’s not me so I will ignore it” or you can see it for what it is in this context.

This thread is full of reasonable actors though. Definitely nothing fucked up here at all. Except me of course.

If you believe what you wrote, one would have to assume this comment was meant to pick a fight

Yeah. Definitely some portion are people who literally never speak to other people but read enough communist literature to find themselves to be above everyone who hasn’t read it and also bought into it fully.

The thing is though, I’m gonna guess that 90% of users here would never call themselves liberal nor do they support capitalism. The users I’m taking issue with would declare literally anyone a liberal without any solid basis at all besides some disagreement. I’ve seen it so repeatedly, if you haven’t I couldn’t know how.
