Good for you! 😃👍

"Fish" is racist anyway. Putting them all in the same boat like that. smh

i thought we stopped doing this "i spell bad therefore dumb" shit back in 2010

There's a certain amount of fundamentals you need, after that point it's quite easy to hop languages by just looking over the documentation of that language. If you skip those fundamentals, you end up with a bunch of knowledge but don't realize you could do things way more effectively.

My recommendation: check out free resources for beginners and skip the atuff you already know thoroughly, focusing only on the stuff you don't know.

Let's make a point that has nothing whatsoever to do with the original point so i can maintain my bullshit opinion.

Hmm, how very 1984

People dying because of border fuckery again, dude set himself on fire and we here unironically talking about the correct way to name a profession. Time and a place, person. this aint it.

I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it's place, but i am so done seeing this "windows bad linux good" bs

Oh yes, let's pick on the weak programming languages because haha funi

But that's just the thing. It is entirely reasonable in their worldview. They don't hate just because they love hating, at least not on a conscious level. They have a whole lore about their ideology too. The problem js lack of ability to think critically and echochambers to reinforce their views. Now imagine an open community, where everyone can have an opinion left, right, or center, but only get banned for being intentionally hurtful. We can save the people who have not yet come to a conclusion, rather than their beliefs essentially being validated through hostile responses.

We have gone so far goddamn south to the point people on the left think free speech is nothing more than a right wing dogwhistle.
How long you decide they just need professional help too.

It's the inevitable bubbling of echochambers that's so harmful, but so atteactive for people to take part in that i believe to be the reason for a lot of the world's problems today. Including covid deniers mind you. If they were exposed to proper evidence before they got dragged into an echo chamber, do you think they still believe what they believe?

Most of them are normal people, not deranged monsters, but we cast them as such to make ourselves feel better and give an easy explanation as to how someone can end up like that.

Not at all what i said here or in the post. I speak from experience on this, there are a lot of people being influenced by the extremists that can still be communicated with. This attitude is exactly what i'm referring to as well. You put them all under the same umbrella, which, if we keep doing this, will only make the problems for people on both sides worse.

I don't mind the ban much, I can just make another account. But I think it is representative of an issue larger than Lemmy.

I just got banned from blahaj for suggesting we should show understanding to rightwing people, because they view the left in the same way as we view them. It creates more division for no reason other than being unwilling to communicate.

Reason: Bigot

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
