Fascism in America?

The fascism debate rages on: Here is why it matters, what the main contentions are, and why the arguments of the Skeptics are increasingly untethered from what is happening on the Right.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

There will be a Part II in which I will focus specifically on the Skeptics’ anti-liberal crusade and provide more concrete examples of how that has distorted their perspective. But this Part I is already over 6,000 words long, so I had to split it up.

@albertcardona @muratk5n @ploum Really? So Z Library (b-ok.cc that now operates in a tor address) is a scam? Can you point on more information about this? I often use Z library instead of libgen because they seem to have a more robust collection. I can be wrong, of course. I am usually wrong.

@umps @muratk5n @ploum

libgen doesn't charge. b-ok.cc attempts to charge you, and the book collection is the same. I don't know it for sure though.

J'ai fait un truc de fifoute aujourd'hui.
Mes collègues (majorité d'hommes) accaparent la parole.
Aujourd'hui y'en a un, il dit un truc
Je lui dis, oh non, pourquoi, c'est très bien et très efficace ce qu'on fait juska présent
Et là il se met à dire non, Esmé, tu as tort et commence à parler.
Je ronchonne ds ma barbe en mode oui bon bref, on est pas d'accord
Et là il continue, blabla blabla
(Je devais partir)
J'ai arrêté d'écouter, j'ai fait mon sac, j'ai nettoyé l'eau que j'ai renversé...

No algorithm can replace human wisdom and analysis.

But no algorithm will need to if we have already abandoned — wholesale — a millennium of critical reading and thinking skills.

Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

So.

75 Jahre Grundgesetz. Es ist schon eine ziemlich gute Verfassung, keine Frage.

Nur schlimm, dass es erst 12 Jahre faschistischer Diktatur und tatkräftige Unterstützung durch die Alliierten gebraucht hat, um unserem Land diese Verfassung zu geben.

Noch schlimmer, dass eben dieser Faschismus aktuell wieder sein hässliches Haupt erhebt und die politische Debatte bis weit in die "demokratische Mitte hinein" vergiftet.

Wir sind alle aufgerufen, uns klar dagegenzustellen, wann immer

Das finde ich auch. In der Realität funktioniert es trotzdem, weil die Menschen meist sinnvoll agieren, aber da kannst du dich nicht drauf verlassen.

Ok, I’m sorry, I’m going to ruffle feathers here but… I’m trying to read some newer development process books and… oh my… even super popular ones are so immensely long winded and unconvincing in their dogmatic argumentation: this is bad, this is good, because I said so that’s why.

Recent examples that I’m struggling to finish: “Team Topologies” and “Data Mesh” - I mean they might be great but I’m getting strong “this should’ve been a blogpost” feels.

Patricia,
@Patricia@vivaldi.net avatar

I can’t. Sometimes they stumble into something I agree with and then five seconds later “ah, yes, someone else’s idea”

@Patricia honestly everything you are saying is why I hate "programming culture". It's cringe, it's gross, it's naive.
For whatever reason, I don't see as much of that in (client side) game development other than the occasional "new c++ feature" fanboys/fangirls and am glad to watch it from afar :P

Here are the much anticipated 10 images taken by the Euclid "Dark Matter Hunter" space telescope.

The images and accompanying papers were presented today at a gathering by the Euclid Consortium. We have seen the first image before.

These are part of the Euclid Early Release Observation program. The first results from Euclid’s wide and deep main surveys will take until fall, first cosmology papers at least until late 2025.

If you wanted to explain to a 10 year old how a button or switch can change between two things, like AM or FM on a radio, but didn't want to use a radio because it may be outdated... what example might you use?

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@jwcph We've got switches covered, but wanted a textual description of a switch / button that can choose between two outputs, two modes, etc.

And it should be something kids (10 and up) might recognized or be familiar with.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@f4grx Is it two modes from a single control... and, are 10 year olds familiar with it?

@OdyX @bortzmeyer À mettre en regard de ce qui est prétendu dans le 2e paragraphe de https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/ — un grep rapide dans mes logs suggère qu'il y a bien un DuckDuckBot qui passe régulièrement, mais de là à ce que toute recherche soit KO quand Bing est KO…
