It’s just polarizing. You’re just making people more staunch in their beliefs or just annoying people who would rather not deal with aggression (like myself)

If your goal is to drive people away and make a space where everyone just agrees with you all the time then it’s effective.

It def adds some flavor to the social media political scene

And here we see an aggressive communist in the wild. You have a good day, dude

Ok, buddy

I usually just ignore them.

I find that a lot of crazy right wingers do it to “own the libs” or get a rise out of their supposed enemies. It’s all just a sports game to people like that.

If you ignore them they get bored and stop being so staunch in their awful beliefs. When you fight with them it makes them feel like they’re right. You end up forcing them to rationalize every shitty position.

Almost nobody posts on the internet trying to challenge and reconsider their beliefs, so it’s not like you’re going to change their mind anyway.

I mean that’s what I think, at least

I think that’s awful an immature behavior. When you fight idiocy with aggression (at least on social media) you just get idiots who think they must be right and start truth social or something

I’m fine with the lesser of two evils.

Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.

I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.

That’s the open source life though :/

Almost nobody gets rich from open source. You’re explicitly granting rights that people usually pay for.

It’s noble, but it sucks.

That took time though.

Ssh only started getting major industry support after heart bleed and it’s been the go to secure shell for at least over a decade before that.

I have to disagree. I’ve been conducting interviews for a fairly large software shop (~2000 engineers) for about 3 years now and, unless I’m doing an intern or very entry level interview, I don’t care what language they use (both personally and from a company interviewer policy), as long as they can show me they understand the principles behind the interview question (usually the design of a small file system or web app)

Most devs with a good understanding of underlying principles will be able to start working on meaningful tasks in a number of days.

It’s the candidates who spent their time deep diving into a specific tool or framework (like leaving a rails/react boot camp or something) that have the hardest time adjusting to new tools.

Plus when your language/framework falls out of favor, you’re left without much recourse.

A programming language itself isn’t a marketable skill!

Learn the underlying concepts of programming and how computers work and you’ll be able to move from language/framework to pretty much any language/framework easily.

I think rust is good for learning some low level concepts, especially coming from python.

I don’t think Python is going anywhere in the ML space though.

I mean if you want to be all sensible about it, sure.

It’s just a tool. The real scam is that the 1% pay such a low share of their actual income (including capital gains)

Literally the comment I was going to write

I meant the platform more than the company.

It’s my favorite format for social media… that’s why I’m on lemmy.

I learned that “capitalism” is an economic system, not a system of government.

So you could have a socialist state that funds essentials like healthcare and transportation through taxes with a market (capitalist) economy.

So I understand total capitalism as an entirely market driven economy with no government influence

And total communism as an entirely planned and government prescribed economy

And socialism as some of the economy is market driven and some government planned.

I may be wrong, but I don’t see socialism and capitalism as hard opposites.

I see capitalism and communism are like hard opposites with socialism somewhere in between.

Yeah but capitalism also made reddit great, before making it terrible.

There’s a balance in there somewhere. What we got ain’t it tho.
