Now THIS I could get behind! Still not AI though. it's a very dumb timer system that would be very useful. 1950's tech could do this!

I think you're being sarcastic, but I unironically agree. Cars and fridges can, and should stay dumb, with the notable exception of battery management systems in electric vehicles. That's the single acceptable use case for a car IMHO.

someone tried to sell me a fucking AI fridge the other day. Why the fuck would I want my fridge to "learn my habits?" I don't even like my phone "learning my habits!"

It's estimated to be around 66% of the global population, or 5.35b people... so $186.92 per person

he’s calling for a specific rate of new expansions to keep players coming back, not crunching for "endless" growth

This annoys me. It's pure semantics.

74.437 unless you're talking about Nautical Pinocchios, which would be 73.455

To be fair, none of that was in your original post. Not knowing all of that, I think it was a safe assumption you meant the allegations of mistreatment by the CCP, rather than the Falun Gong claims of benevolence.

Obviously you didn't though, and a quick Google search suggests you might have some valid points. I didn't know any of that!

However, I do want to point out that you could say most of the same things about fundamental Christians, and while I'd personally take the same view of those types ( I do believe they're a dangerous cult) I wouldn't say anyone calling them peaceful religious types was engaging in "Alex Jones level of manipulation of the truth" and wouldn't discount them entirely for holding that view. Particularly when, as you say, it's very likely they are actually being persecuted

But hey, if nothing else I think you've shown that I have no idea what I'm talking about here. Maybe that comparison doesn't actually hold. Also, for all I know he's a bought and paid for propagandist. Honestly, nothing surprises me these days

I don't think what he's saying about Falun Gong is so far fetched to be outside the realm of plausibility.

There's been enough reports of similar treatment of other groups, like the Uyghurs and Tibetans, from reputable sources that I believe something is going on there.

As for sources, if the CCP is half as bad as he makes them out to be, it would be irresponsible of him to give sources.

I don't know enough to refute anything you've said, but frankly you're less credible than him right now. I mean no offense but you have a single comment on your account and you've offered nothing to support your claim of twisted truth.

Too much smoke to conclude there's no fire

I suspect it's actually worse there. This guy has a series called "China fakes everything" which is worth watching

it looks like Fusion 360 runs fine on Linux

I can assure you, it does not.

Do not switch to Linux and expect this project to save you, it is NOT beginner friendly.

It's great, and I'm sure someone smarter than me could probably get it working, but personally, I failed miserably and switched to OnShape.

I'd like to see stats on that, because there are equally many 2nd language speakers in English speaking spaces as well. Not to mention the brits, irish, aussies, kiwis, canadians, etc, and that's before we get into this list of places with a non majority first language population, like many countries in Africa.

I think the percentage of Americans on the internet will be higher, but still not a majority

Greece re-introduces the 6 day work week... It used to be the standard. Y'know, in the 18th fucking century

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world has a distinctive profile picture, and I see them everywhere. Also I suspect I know @Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but I'm not certain.

Lol, I'm not sure I'd describe it as anime, but I understand what you mean. Personally I quite like the aesthetic of it. It makes them feel just the right amount of fake to me that I won't feel bad deleting the pool ladder. I can totally see how it would bug you though. Hopefully it'll be easy to mod out, or at least turn down.

I still have hope for Paralives

Have a look at Paralives

So what I'm hearing is: Fauci DIDN'T shoot a puppy in a gravel pit for essentially getting too excited...

what a monster /s

Recently found out about https://elan.school/ which ended up being run by ex "students." It's not the same thing, but there are parallels. Conversion therapy is essentially brainwashing at it's core, and I find it fascinating (in a horrifying, train crash, can't look away, kind of way) that in both cases, ex members become involved in perpetuating the horror.

eta: I agree it does not absolve them

Yes and no. I agree that camel vs snake or that stupid mNameThing that was popular for a while, doesn't reeeeeaaally matter, although I would argue that convention over the language still has value. As an example, naming a Java variable with a capital letter would be confusing and annoying to any new devs joining the project, even if it's a valid identifier. Also it's handy to be able to look at something in ALL_CAPS and know that it's probably a static final, without having to check it's definition. I guess it's about finding that line between useful conventions and pedantry.

Dear god please no. This way madness lies. Your idea of "whatever you think works best" is not going to line up with whatever the next person that comes along thinks, and your codebase is about to get all kinds of fucked up.

Thinking code complete is going to save you is naive. Even in languages like C and Java, where it works best, you still need to be able to read and understand the code in context. There's no hope in a language like Ruby with all it's meta programming stuff
