- Comment on Australia should reconsider alliance with ‘fiercely unpredictable’ US, former foreign ministers say 4 days ago:
the minerals are just the flimsy justification.
the reality is that trump is trying to posture the united states for an anticipated climate change degraded world where a huge majority of commerce and shipping goes through the arctic instead of polynesia or the suez canal.
denmark does not have the capacity to create and maintain a standing navy large enough to counter china’s in the waters around greenland; so the US president in 50-ish years time will force the issue because trump already started it.
- Comment on US would reach 100% renewable energy by 2148 at current pace 4 days ago:
it seems more like the US is leaving others behind due to the expected future realities of a climate-change-degraded/multi-polar-order world and only the global north has the luxury of “leaving”
a huge majority didn’t willing enter an agreement and we’re witnessing in venezula, bolivia, chile, colombia, nigera, sudan, nepal, etc. what happens when they try to leave the US behind.
- Comment on US would reach 100% renewable energy by 2148 at current pace 5 days ago:
But yeah in general US is clearly getting left behind on things that will matter this century. Hopefully it won’t manage to drag the rest of us down with them.
the US is not getting left behind, it’s intentionally staying behind because the ruling class believes it’ll weaken their grasp; it’s disappeared from the political discussion of the last decade or so because of that and very few seem to notice.

here: i’ll help you with a very recent example of the freedom of speech in action in the united states.
- Comment on Colombia’s Petro calls out Trump ‘clan of paedophiles’ over Venezuela 1 week ago:
i suspect that you’re right; epstein had been doing his thing for decades as a open secret for the ultra rich and wouldn’t have started doing it if there wasn’t already a market need for it.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 1 week ago:
What is that gulf? I’ve provided concrete and glaring examples that what you said is not true and you haven’t provided anything besides propaganda.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 1 week ago:
Tell that to people like Fred Hampton or Garry Web or Chelsea Manning.
All spoke out against the American government and all paid for it w their lives; their livelihoods; or both and time has vindicated all of them.

reminds me of the videos of that guy who sits in wheeled bucked ostensibly pushing himself with an umbrella and a leaf blower; guy carries a leaf blower, umbrella and bucket around all the time just to make people look at him. lol

- Comment on Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Dazzles Citizens with 80% Approval After 100 Days 11 months ago:
i hope she and her government are prepared for the the cia destablizers that are coming their way.
- Comment on Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Dazzles Citizens with 80% Approval After 100 Days 11 months ago:
right.
el pais has a halfway decent article that doesn’t list his war crimes on him: …elpais.com/…/ronald-johnson-trumps-hawk-in-mexic…
- Comment on Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Dazzles Citizens with 80% Approval After 100 Days 11 months ago:
and accordingly so, they’re sending in ron johnson as ambassador to destabilize mexico to get her and her party out of office.
ron johnson is the guy who destabilized central america in the past and he was trained at the school of the americas.

- Comment on Ukraine becomes 125th state party to ICC Rome Statute 1 year ago:
so now the icc will come after the russians (again) but still continue to do nothing to the isrealis (also again)?
- Comment on Perspective 1 year ago:
they don’t have to anymore since they caught the guy.
- Comment on France says Netanyahu has 'immunity' from ICC warrants 1 year ago:
france is clearly not the ideal of progressiveness that american mainstream has you believe.
- Comment on Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations 1 year ago:
it also happened a lot before operation wetback.
- Comment on Mind your accents! 1 year ago:
Didn’t forget about the potato. Lol
- Comment on Mind your accents! 1 year ago:
i learned this the hard way when i tried text people in spanish that my father had a great time in the new years party and they were wondering what potatoes had to do with new anal sex experiences. lol
(“mi papa disfruta fiestas de ano nuevo” badly translates to “my potato enjoys new anal gangbangs” without the accents & other punctuation and translates to “my father enjoys the news years parties” with the proper punctuation)
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 1 year ago:
i had a similar thought and i think not trying to treat lemmy like it’s reddit is beneficial here; or at least to me.
- Comment on AI Models Falter Answering Election Questions in Spanish. 1 year ago:
it doesn’t to me.
the sheer number of american born spanish speakers alone is well past the critical level necessary for the type of full representation that other industries experience, but software engineering is stubbornly not budging so they’re going to IT.
i think that the closest thing there is to representation in software engineering is the over representation of foreign born spanish speakers; but they lack the experience of growing up as a minority in this country and that makes them predisposed to dismiss the difficulties we experience in life as well as trying to get a foothold into this industry.
- Comment on AI Models Falter Answering Election Questions in Spanish. 1 year ago:
i’m addressing the underlying issue behind llm’s and any other sort of ai; the software engineers who create and work on them come from a cultural paradigm that doesn’t include anything but a few languages and spanish isn’t one of them.
that results in strange behaviors like the one the article mentions here. other examples like face recognition issues is another manifestation of that paradigm.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 1 year ago:
i switched instances without bothering to migrate and i’m wondering why you want to migrate anything.
- Comment on AI Models Falter Answering Election Questions in Spanish. 1 year ago:
mistranslations into spanish seemed common everywhere i’ve lived in the last 5 decades; california, new york, new jersey, texas, chicago; and it doesn’t seem to matter that there are plenty of fluent & native spanish speakers in all of those places.
i’m a software developer now and did IT for 15 years before that and it seemed clear to me that american-born native spanish speakers are rare in software engineering compared to IT. i think that this is the first time that my anecdotal evidence has been confirmed. (somehow foreign-born spanish speakers have even representation throughout this industry like most everyone else).
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 1 year ago:
Being on the other side of the interviewing table for the last 20ish years and being told that we’re not going to hire people that everyone unanimously loved and we unquestionably needed more times that I want to remember makes me think that blacklists are common.
In all of the cases I’ve experienced in the last decade or so: people who had faang and old silicon on their resumes but couldn’t do basic things like creating an ansible playbook from scratch were either an automatic addition to that list or at least the butt of a joke that pervades the company’s cool aide drinker culture for years afterwards; especially so in recruiting.
Yes they’ll eventually forget and I think it’s proportional to how egregious or how close to home your perceived misrepresentation is to them.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 1 year ago:
Same here but this one was especially painful since it was the closest match with my experience I’ve ever encountered in 25 years and now I know that they will never give me the time of day again and; based on my experience in silicon valley; may end up on a thier blacklist permanently.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 1 year ago:
watch out; i learned the hard way in an interview that i do this so much that i can no longer create terraform & ansible playbooks from scratch.
even a basic api call from scratch was difficult to remember and i’m sure i looked like a hack to them because of it.
