Nope. After 2010s proved that the internet is the central location for political battles with Wikipedia Blackouts causing major political shifts, Pandoras Box has been opened.

The internet is now the premier location for propaganda and politicalization.

This is only true if people feed the monster.

Gen AI writes posts that can use specific dialects, that you would never be certain/realise. Hence the whole people-thinking-it's-the-thoughts-of-a-real-person-and-peer-pressure manipulation aspect.

If Gen AI algorithms are having difficulty with it also being used as training data due to the large amounts of it around, you can bet that you've read at least a few posts / comments each day written by gen AI.

I think you're missing the point of the post. Or maybe the personal insult is the action of a bot to encourage other personal insults against me as a form of manipulation of others to build a group against me?

Just to be clear, I'm not accusing lemmy (whoever / whatever that is as a 'thing) of adding messages, but bad actors are doing so to control the short-term narrative for (perhaps, mainly) capitalist reasons.

Kinda like propaganda gone wild. A Cambridge Analytica's former employee book, mindfuck is a good read.

How can I switch to Linux Mint with a clean install and keep my 300GB of data (with metadata) safe? in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
[–] 0101100101@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

I have about 300GB of personal data on the system

That's a lot of porn!

First thing to do is to prune the data and remove what you don't need. Be brutal (it really takes practise).

I wonder how many people around the world are laughing at USA right now.

Stop calling everyone a “skeptic” and call them what they are: ~~deniers~~ idiots.

FTFY!

perfect for the everyday user

...because of course, they don't need privacy, do they now. "Nothing to hide" and all that jazz.

Critique This! A Simple Qt Dock Widget which enables the whole widget to be 'folded' to use less screen space (programming.dev)
 

I'm working on a project that needs lots of toolbars on screen at once, even though not all of them will be used at the same time. So, I'm modelling this 'foldable' dock widget after what I remember Photoshop panels used to be like.

It's a work in progress, but would like to hear constructive suggestions.

What's your favourite keyboard switch and why? (programming.dev)

Might as well help get this channel off to a flying start!

What's your favourite switch (key type) and why? What would you like to try but haven't yet and what have you tried but wasn't for you?

Is it ok to post code (~250 LOC) for critique here? (programming.dev)
 

Working on a class that I'd like to use in a library (not for work) and think I'd appreciate external opinions!

If not, where else could I post code for critique? Thanks

So... is the IBM Model M the greatest keyboard ever created? Or has that phase passed now? (programming.dev)
 

They're noisy, clacky, impossible to use in an office, in your house without headphones, perhaps even annoying neighbours, need effort to make them work on USB, so why do people love them so much?

I've tested two. Didn't like them because sometimes if you don't hit the keys head on, they move a bit to the side with the spring and that's jarring on your fingers.

Where do you stand on the debate?

Also, first post, so what better a topic!

Go buy a linux book at a charity shop or a library sale! (programming.dev)
 

A great way to learn the basics. It'll be old, but that's ok. It's going to cover all the shell basics and then more. It's still going to be useful, it'll cost you pennies, you'll be able to dip into it when you want, and you'll be giving to a good cause.

Do you use a macro keyboard for shortcuts? If so, what for and what size? (programming.dev)

Macro keyboards are mini programmable USB keyboards that can be pressed to trigger shortcuts, a sequence of keypresses etc. They can have several layers so switching to a different one will trigger different keypresses from the same key, so e.g. different IDEs can be represented.

I've just bought one with a view to setting up shortcuts for debugging. Each IDE has its own unique keys for navigating through the code, so I figure it'll be nice to just press one key to start debugging and one key to step into instead of a combination of ctrl+whatever etc

Do you use one? If so, what do you use it for and what size do you use? Is it too big / too small?
