  • We are both atheist however I have to appear pious at times, I hope that it doesn't get me into trouble with her parents who are rather anti-religious and who don't believe that I am atheist

  • Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap.
  • I think the long term commitment is there for everyone and it's the only way to undeestand how focusing quarter to quarter by executives leads to this result.

    Everyone is committed to profit.

  • SlashData: Rust sees fastest growth, JavaScript still dominates
  • Hi, I don't really code besides computation stuff in Python. You seem to be really knowledgeable, could I ask, what does the future of the web look like? Is it Rust and WASM? Or will JS and TS always have a place even a decade from now?

  • OpenSUSE is the best
  • Anyone care to share their experiences with SUSE Enterprise Linux, or with the container focused OpenSUSE MicroOS? Looking to play around with it since it looks a lot more straightforward compared to RHEL (Red Hat looks great, just having trou_understanding their offerings as they have a ton) and hoped some folks knew a thing or two...

  • Mozilla Acquires Anonym, Pioneering Privacy in Digital Ads
  • they are controlled opposition in my opinion, if you follow the money (i.e. financed primarily by google to my knowledge) and look at their current diversification in service offerings they appear to be 'privacy-washed' or 'ethics-washed' (for lack of a better term, the equiv. of greenwashing or pinkwashing for tech corps to appear ethical or progressive) with a push to appear as a feature-complete 'privacy respecting' alternative to google.

    in my opinion proton is doing the same thing, esp atm with their push towards non-profit status. openai (which is obviously not open in any sense od the word in the industry they operate in) is also i believe governed by a non-profit entity... or at least the for-profit part of their company is.

    non-profit status with larger organizations i think like any other large organization is not worth taking at face value, but idk someone here prob has a better handle on it than i do...

  • Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)

  • How bad is Microsoft?
  • not quite as bad as adobe, but they are among the worst

  • Anyone familiar with corpus discourse analysis?

    I'm looking at recreating some of the stuff in a paper which analyzed the news discourse around Xinjiang Cotton (H&M made a stink about it some time ago among others) to compare the difference between Western and Chinese news entities.

    They use a tool called Wordsmith 8 which seems to be the de facto tool for this kind of thing if you don't want to use a traditional programming language like Python or R. I wanna use R but I kinda don't wanna do it alone and was wondering if anyone had experience or knew anything about linguistics. My background is in the life sciences with some programming so I am a bit out of my depth, more so my theoretical knowledge in ML is lacking and I wanted to analyze (after getting the technical stuff done) through a ML point of view and if someone had any way to help with that I'd really appreciate it.

    Comment or message me directly and maybe we can figure someone out!

    Online Party Discipline?

    Hello comrades, I read a comment on a post either on lemmygrad or hexbear talking about how most discourse happening was of poor quality and indicative of a lack of genuine leftist groups in the imperial core. Basically if there were patty's with some teeth they would enforce party discipline and education and that would lead to higher quality discourse online.

    I also read some of Lenins2ndcat's comments which were very patient when they were interacting with users from other communities.

    Is there anyway to work on like, an online party discipline? Or like having users who are very good at discussing with libs have a more concerted approach to their interactions? It really seems that much of us are often too aggressive and meme-y and as fun as that is it really isn't productive.

    I get that this isn't how praxis or anything happens, it seems more like the way we engage could be more productive and fruitful in the long term and considerations like this might go a long way.

    TL;DR Planned economy but for memeposting
