Using ai to help normal everyday people cross language barriers is one of the few good ethical uses for it. I hate ai and it’s implications as mich as the next gal but this is clearly fine

This one specific bug in this one niche library has probably not been written about in a book, and even if it has I doubt that book is in my local library, and even if it is I doubt I can fucking find it

“Stop talking to my clone, I specifically requested you never contact me again”

It’s an archive of reddit, not reddit

You can ask knowledgeable people for help instead of an ai tho

I really don’t like gnome personally but I’m glad it exists cause other people canlike things I don’t

Nah, ubuntus definitely the ankle socks

“This isn’t safe” is very different from “I’ve arbitrarily decided you shouldn’t be able to use that”

Mrrrrp :3

What do you have against desktop calculator? I used to do some code golfing with it even

Poor dc, no one ever uses it on purpose it seems D=

Peersuite

I think I know why authoritarian has different connotations, specifically not inherently negative to me–stellaris! When setting up your civilization in stellaris, there are several… factors? you can base them on, each one has an opposite. Materialist vs spiritualist, militarist vs pacifist, xenophobe vs xenophile, and authoritarian vs egalitarian. I’m used to the word in the context of a descriptive spectrum, not inherently good or bad. (Usually bad in the context of irl stuff, that just doesn’t seem to be where my mind goes first) Just thought you might find it neat

I wasn’t able to get those scripts working at all

Ooooo, somehow haven’t heard of it! Looks really good, thanks!

??? I run fedora

Presumptuous much? Why do you have to be so hostile

Fucking goddamn I’d love to have a replacement to fusion 360 so I never had to touch windows again. FreeCAD is just awful, I keep coming back to it and keeping finding new issues with it. OpenSCAD is cool and useful for simple stuff, but it is not performant in the slightest and the lack of ability to fillet or chamfer edges is insane. Blender is great for 3d modeling but doesn’t work well for engineering modeling.

Mood, we’re on the same page the word authoritarian just has a bit different meaning to me

I’m sick of respectful debates about my right to exist. That’s what blahaj zone is for, and it does it well.

Yep exactly pretty much

Sure. Transphobia is straight up not tolerated at all. There is zero room for discussion. It’s not something a community on bz can allow, it’s ada’s mission statement that bz is a safe space for trans people, end of story. That’s why I love it and use it. I wouldn’t call it censorship heavy, at least not in the aame way ml and the like are. You can criticize and bitch about ada and her actions as much as you want, you won’t get silenced. However, I’d still absolutely place it on the authoritarian end of the spectrum compared to a place like dbzero. I call it authoritarian but it’s not a negative thing, it’s why I use it. It’s it done right. Idk maybe I have different connotations for the instance and for the word authoritarian than you/most people, I hope this clears up what I mean

Lemmy.world – biggest, defaultest instance. All the pros and cons associated with that

Lemmy.ml – very authoritarian leftist instance. Has a tankie problem but also has cool communists. Has heavy censorship

Lemmy.blahaj.zone – trans focused, very queer, authoritarian by nature of being a trans safe space. Generally chiller but contradictorily also the center of a lot of drama, because people love to hate trans safe apaces.

dbzero – don’t remember the actual domain, run by dbZ. Anarchist democracy instance, very cool and chill, it’s what I’d sign up on if I started afresh

sh.itjust.works – tbh don’t know much about them but pretty straightforward, is what the label aays, it just works

Hexbear – wver wanted to see a aerver that unironically loves the chinese communist party and thinks north korea is aspirational? There you go

pawb.social – I think this might be am mbin instance instead of a lemmy instance but I’m not sure. Can be summarized as " the furry one"

lemmynsfw – the porn one. Most instances are defederated feom it

Those are the ones foremost in my mind. Tons of small European ones that are focused on specific countries too. I anticipate replies giving me shit for uttering the word “tankie”.
