It’s a political necessity really. If you keep denying the losing party any influence, they’ll grow bigger.

The Danish political system has very successfully stopped the far right parties by acknowledging their concerns and bringing some but not all of their policies into the centrist parties. Honestly this is probably much better than the alternative of the far right parties getting more and more influence.

EDIT: If you’re not Danish and not familiar with our (very successful, I might add) democratic political system, you might not understand, but it has worked quite effectively here. Keep in mind the Danish political leaning is quite leftist already, so even some of our “right-wing” parties are still quite left wing all things considered.

What is insane, is how many people studied computer science but are totally unable to apply mathematics to the problems they try to solve.

Could you elaborate on this? My experience during my computer science education was that a lot of maths was required, but just usually not the same kind of maths as most of the rest of mathematics, because continuous stuff doesn’t apply most of the time.

I think a big difference between the way maths and programming is done however is the way it is written. Mathematics is usually about stating a relation as an equation, i.e. x = y^2. But programming can’t just state the relation, it needs to also state how to compute that relation. Honestly my confusion is that maths has never focused more on the computation part of it, it seems very weird to me.

They are not equivalent - one semantic assigns trans women under the category of women (not transphobic) while the other semantic assigns trans women as separate from the category of women (which many would say is transphobic).

Every four panel cartoon can be loss if you want it enough

Idk just saying that transwomen and cis women are different doesn’t seem transphobic in and of itself

Agreed - but the crucial point here is that the comment says that trans women are not women, which is a stance many would consider to be transphobia. I think the proper way to say it is that trans women and cis women are obviously not the same thing, but both are women.

This is hardly transphobia.

Depends - many people would say that not including transwomen in the category of “women” (without qualifier) is transphobia, and the comment literally says:

This is exactly the same as saying transwomen are not women, because they are not. They are transwomen.

So the comment is basically arguing that “women” should only be used to mean “cis women”, which some might (perhaps rightfully) consider transphobia.

Kind of a strange blog post. Clearly it requires a lot of technical knowledge, yet it explains basic TypeScript syntax and variables and how to use an editor. While simultaneously showing SQL code. There doesn’t seem to be a clear target audience to this.

Any third instance that is less generic and more catered to your interests or physical location would be better.

Also keep in mind that lemm.ee does not defederate from a lot of instances - this is bad if you care about a well-moderated space.

Plot twist: Commenter above is on irony layer 3.

Oh totally. I just wish Linux had better user experience than it does, cause right now it’s kind of subpar.

I’ve tried on Ubuntu, what’s more popular than that.

Windows is certainly not bug free and I’m very much a fan of the idea of FOSS - the execution is unfortunately lacking in this aspect.

If you disable… needs to be configured… just have to install the packages

And this is exactly the problem. I suppose there might be a way to fix it, but if Windows can just make it work for me, why can’t Linux do the same? All this “Oh you just need to do X and Y” should be unnecessary bullshit.

Also, it’s not that it doesn’t work at all on Linux, but it works sporadically. For instance, when the system goes to sleep and needs to wake up, the screens sometimes turn on, sometimes they don’t and I need to pull the plug and reconnect. This is never necessary on Windows.

I’m having it on my Framework laptop - I really was hopeful that it would just work with that :(

… Unless of course you’re trying to connect two external monitors through a docking station with a USB-C into the laptop with a closed lid and disabled inbuilt screen.

Unfortunately, in my experience, Linux routinely fails at this task (tried many different distros) while Windows “just works”.

This film gets cooler and cooler the more I hear about it! Really gotta watch it.

At this point, it seems like a major existential risk for the internet archive to be based in the US.

I suppose tax evasion was invented the same day taxes were.

Same - just defederated them from Feddit.dk. What actually convinced me to defederate was this comment. That kind of “hands off” moderation approach just seems irresponsible to me.

Almost every community in the fediverse is full of this crap. Things aren’t removed because they’re harmful, they’re removed because some mod disagrees.

You should start your own instance it sounds like :P

Well I guess it’s a bit of a Parker meme tbh
