  • Violence

  • The USA didn't invent the concept of police or government.

    The first police were appointed to investigate and punish minor crimes commited agains civilians.

  • Then why are most “uncivilized” societies have more egalitarian and non-violent than “civilized” ones?

    Uncivilized societies engage in violence much more frequently than civilized societies.

    That's the case for individual/personal violence, and also for institutional/mass violence.

    Civilized societies are better than uncivilized society in anything they do collectively, be it science, production, or murder.

    Since civilized societies are so much better at murdering, the few cases where mass murder does happen are much more significant.

    However, such cases remain an exception, as opposed to what is the case for uncivilized societies.

    Uncivilized societies may be harmless, but they are certainly not peaceful.

    Civilized societies are more powerful, but they yield their power much more carefully.

  • someone teach them LaTeX

    Jump

  • When I went to college the dot was used for the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors while the cross was used for the cross product (vector product) of two vectors.

    Since in this case numbers (read: one-dimensional vectors) are multiplied, the dot product is used, which should be denoted by a dot.

    (But really, if I were to write a formula in Latex I would just use the * symbol, too.)

  • Seize the Means of Production

    Jump

  • Well the options aren't just capitalism and socialism. There's also worse capitalism. So a normal capitalist system that protects itself does not just prevent socialism, it also prevents worse capitalism.

    An example of a system that turned to worse capitalism is Nazi Germany. That's why today, Germany prevents system change, so as to not again change from normal capitalism to worse capitalism.

  • Some ideas 💡 (not mine)

  • Mastodon is tagged with Privacy but Signal isn't? I wonder what privacy means to OOP

  • "Ukraine is not a nazi state, Russia is"

    Jump

  • Granted, in this situation, it's a little more complicated than "victim and offender", but that is what it's being distilled down to here, with reality being flipped to present Ukraine as victim and Russia as offender.

    I'm not sure whether I'm reading this right. Are you talking about the "offender" within the context of the post, meaning "offender" = "the one who has Nazis in their ranks" or are you talking about the "offender" within the context of the war, meaning "offender" = "the aggressor force in the ukraine/russia war"?

  • How Elon Musk’s DOGE Cuts Leave a Vacuum That China Can Fill

    Jump

  • Which China is already working on and are as far as test flights.

    Of course the US and China both have some kinds of stealthy fighter jets. That does't mean that China has what the US has (or will have).

    Or does "next-generation" have a specific meaning, other than "better"?

  • whatever you need to justify killing a pig

    I don't need any justification for that lol. I wouldn't care if people ate dogs either.

    I was just pointing out a traditional norm that people usually don't eat carnivores (because they are more prone to disease and are much less efficient to farm).

  • Happy Birthday Emma!

    Jump

  • Dogs and cats are carnivores. We don't eat carnivores in general, regardless of domestication.

    The only odd one out are horeses, who we don't eat in spite of them not being carnivores.

  • I see these MFs on a daily basis

    Jump

  • Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I'm just lucky.

  • If being ready means "runs Windows applications" to you, then obviously Windows will always be the best choice.

    Like, what a metric lol

    Next you're gonna tell me MacOS isn't ready either, because you can't play many Windows games on it as well

  • Complaining about hardware compatibility on Linux while Windows 11 doesn't even support first gen Ryzen CPUs is crazy.

  • I see these MFs on a daily basis

    Jump

  • Windows 11 doesn't even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.

    Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.

  • Hallucinating sources

    Jump

  • Identifying the source of an article is very different from the common use case for search engines.

    1:1 quotes of web pages is something conventional search engines are very good at. But usually you aren't quoting pages 1:1.

  • I agree. I only added that to not argue with the parent comment about their point that CEOs should "not waste the time of those who work by asking stupid questions".

  • Broadly, I agree that CEOs of large companies should have outstanding qualification.

    But since specific knowledge like what the post is about isn't core to their job, I think it's fine for them to sometimes ask some less knowledgable questions.

    I certainly do not agree that "[this] should radicalize you".

  • Well your degradation of the entire userbase of the site you're using

    I only considered Lemmy to be extremely left leaning; that is not intended to be degrading.

    I assume many people in this comment section specifically to be armchair communists (which is intended to sound degrading) but those don't represent Lemmy as a whole.

    is very convincing

    It wasn't intended to convince you of anything, it was only a simple retaliation for your needless attempt to invalidate my view by simple down/up-vote counting.

    Classic conservative alright.

    Everyone who disagrees with you on a singular issue (that issue being whether one specific person is fit for their job) is a conservative, yeah.

    You must exist in an extremely small bubble.

    If you disagree with Lemmings on the whole, leave?

    I don't disagree with Lemmings on the whole, and even if I did, I don't mind. I don't need a bubble; I can talk to people I disagree with.

  • Take a look at my comment history; you'll see me regularly participating in German-speaking communites talking about German politics.

    Your prejudice is blatant.
