Will it be Hungarian, German, or Russian style fascism?
  • Assuming Trump will be around. His cognitive decline has been steep, and he’s just been a convenient vehicle for others to gain power. I wouldn’t be surprised if they invoked the 25th Amendment.

  • Republican Congressman Baselessly Accuses Biden of Ordering Trump Shooting
  • For fuck’s sake. All these Republicans are just ignoring the fact that the shooter WAS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

    We need this shouted from the rooftops and thrown into every headline. This should be the only response any time someone in the GOP in Congress says that the left has been calling for civil war.

  • Supreme Court prepares to kill same sex marriage in America
  • Yeah, fuck ‘em. Don’t apologize.

    In addition to what you’ve mentioned, don’t forget it’s the same groups of people who want to give guns more rights than women/people of color/LGBTQ+. After reading things like this… you realize you shouldn’t be apologizing because these people don’t give a shit.

  • Devs of lemmy, do you find ai chatbot helpful?
  • Yes and no. I compare it to a graphing calculator: I know how to graph a parabola by hand already, but I don’t want to have to do it over and over already. That’s just busy work for me.

    LLMs are similar that way. There’s often a lot of boilerplate to get out of the way that’s just busy work to write over and over again. LLMs are great at generating some of that scaffolding.

    LLMs have also become a lot more helpful as Google search has gotten worse over time.

  • One-third of developers impacted by layoffs in last 12 months, according to GDC survey – Half concerned more cuts on the way.
  • According to the report, while 54 percent of developers canvassed said there had been no layoffs at their company over the last year, 35 percent said either they or their colleagues had lost their jobs.

    Yeah, its 35% of the people canvassed for this report. Even then, not all those people were laid off - some of them are people who know somebody who was impacted.

  • China's Xi says reunification with Taiwan is 'inevitable' in New Year's address
  • I think Xi is counting on the west to be too distracted by Ukraine and Israel to effectively support Taiwan.

    Also, speculation on my part - but this feels like the usual posturing/distraction playbook. China’s economy isn’t doing so hot and the government’s bungling of COVID is still fresh in everyone’s minds, so what better way to make people forget about that than to saber rattle?

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Asia

    Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and preceded by the CIA-operated Radio Free Asia (Committee for a Free Asia), it was established by the US International Broadcasting Act of 1994 with the stated aim of "promoting democratic values and human rights"

    Uh wow… TIL. Absolutely not an unbiased source whatsoever.

  • YouTube screwing itself with adblockers again
  • What’s funny is Google pushed me to turn off all my targeted ad preferences + watch history on YT. I basically did what you did and they started pushing me PragerU and other weird conservative ads, so I just straight turned everything personalized off. And pretty much stopped using the platform.

  • This may seem kind of stupid but I am kind of stupid, is there a list somewhere of phrases that are stupid or insensitive racially or gender biased?
  • 100%. We’re all human and so many phrases are just in the vernacular.

    I grew up hearing the word “gypped”. I didn’t know that’s how it was spelled (thought it was jipped.) It wasn’t until I was in college that I realized gypped -> Gypsy and extremely offensive. I’m still embarrassed that it took me that long to figure out.
