You can register a domain under any TLD, so people often use them to finish words or convey other meanings. In the case of lemmy.ml it's apparently meant as Marxist-Leninist.

Tribalism has always been a thing but seems to be having a big resurgence lately. i think when the state of the world makes people feel small they crave more validation from echo chambers.
Some people still aren't clear on the whole "federated" concept. But lack of understanding has never stopped anyone from posting opinions.
I've seen "hexbear" but have no idea what it is, so clearly it's not ruining anything for me.
Each of his hands is its own martial arts master, and so are both his pockets.
It's like Ron Swanson took over the government, but with only his attitude and none of his legit skills.
Those of us who are extremely upset about the state of our country are constantly wondering WTF is wrong with the other ones. I think a large part of it is a slow, progressive dumbing down by our growing addiction to entertainment and convenience. We've become a nation of 13-year-olds who think mom is a bitch for making us go to the dentist.
"I don't have a solution to the problem, I'm just here to reject the moral imperfections in yours."
I've heard that Amazon's IT is very siloed, with very little internal collaboration. I don't know if it's cutthroat competitive or what, but one guy I worked for said he had seen so much wacky work from people who had come from Amazon, especially if it was their first and only job out of school, he didn't even interview people anymore if they had much Amazon on their resumes.
Refusing to help stop a dictator because it would mean stepping down off your morality pedestal seems like a much lower bar to me.
And as I've pointed out and NOBODY ever addresses, while the Biden admin was being called genocidal nazis they were helping to negotiate the ceasefire that went into effect a few days before Li'l Shitler took office thanks to the people who refused to vote for Harris. But go ahead and pat yourself on the back and give yourself a gold star. The world thanks you for being a better person.
side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is "fuck". When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it's correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it's usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn't even use AI, just a list of common errors. It's been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.
Like the color scheme somebody picked for this.

The Turing Test, enshrined by the public and media as THE test of machine intelligence, really isn't.

Real quantum computers always look like cheesy sci-fi movie prop computers.
