- Comment on Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode 1 day ago:
The corrupt oligopolists have completely given up on QA; why would they bother when they don’t feel any real competitive pressure.
AFAIK, this has been happened as far back as Windows 8. I believe they had a giant pool of physical PCs (laptops, pre-builts and various popular component combination for desktop) that they physically tested updates on, but they scrapped all of it because they know they don’t need to worry about competition.
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 2 days ago:
This is one area where I will agree with MS. 32 MB extra RAM consumption is worth it for even a moderate speed boost.
That being said, the vast majority of modern applications run like shit. You have electron apps which are comically terrible in their performance metrics, but even beyond that you often have apps takeing up 100s of MBs and eat of stupid amount of RAM considering what they do.

You support continued internment of Ukrainians in the occupied territories, abuse of Ukrainian children and russian genocidal imperialism.
The “don’t care about lines on the map” statement is not believable coming from someone who repeats putin’s statements about “Watzis in Ukraine!1!1”.
Why would I need to remind you about something you already know and have taken to heart? Good to see progress on this issue! One day you might even remember your current leftist online roleplay with a profound sense shame and disgust. Stranger things happen in life…
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 6 days ago:
Sure you were! It’s not like tankies aren’t known to lie about Cuba being a democracy or NK being a “vanguard against imperialism”. No ma’am!
Someone claiming to have family supports neither Ukraine or russia. That’s very realistic! Or wait, I know, you support the DNR not russia ;), got you tankie!
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 6 days ago:
Yes, pushing russian narratives about Ukraine is supporting putin.
You’ve never lived in Ukraine (Donbas or otherwise) or even russian and the whole “Nazis in Ukraine” pitch is just cover for commie belief in the extermination of undesirable ethnicities.
Don’t play dumb.
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 6 days ago:
I don’t support Ukraine
Thank you for proving my point about tankies supporting extermination of Ukrainian culture/identity/language and continued internment of tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the occupied territories (and mass discrimination and prosecution).
You even openly admit that you support putin’s “de-nazifiction of Ukraine” rhetoric.
You most definitely do not “oppose the war entirely”. Rejection of self determination for Ukrainians (and the right to speak in Ukrainian) is support for the russian invasion of Ukraine.
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 6 days ago:
lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist.
Saying ML is socialist (which it’s not, it’s a tankie instance) is de facto discrediting socialism.
It’s like saying that socialists oppose any criticism of russia and china (authoritarian, imperialist, hyper-capitalist oligarchic countries that have nothing to do with socialism) and socialist only read Russia Today.

Congrats! You went on an American eurotrip in your youth. And you know a few people who were born in the USSR on Lemmy (does that include me)?
If you know so much about the USSR, can you tell me which professions were (outside of being a party goons) considerable profitable and why? Wikipedia answer aren’t going to cut it. Something that shows basic knowledge on this issue without web searching. Indulge me, lil commie bro!
Yes, meat was widely available in the USSR and common access was not limited to well-connected individuals and party goons! What a great life!
The Holodomor never happened and it was CIA psyop! The CIA made a time machine to travel back in time and discredit comrade Stalin! I see. My great grandmother was a time travelling CIA agent working to discredit communism!
Local language education was definitely not suppressed and cultural group of occupied nations weren’t prosecuted! You could make movies in your language and vote to have education be primarily in your own language, right? You could even vote leave the USSR since it wasn’t occupation!
The real irony is that even the russians don’t believe in your cointelpro and counter-revolutionary gibberish (wrt Czechia and Hungary). They are lucid enough to understand that it was matter of imperialism and ethno-national supremacism.

No one buys your tankie gibberish!
I said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again:
ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.
Dessalines, an American, has never lived in Ukraine or russia, doesn’t speak Ukrainian or russian and yet he comes up with bullshit like “putin just wants to show he means business” or “war is war, civilian casualties are fine [as long as it’s Ukrainians]”.
Thank you for proving my point!

Lol, this is the most stereotypical tankie gibberish there is.

Such a tankie response. I never claimed to know every single language on earth.

- Comment on A Vibe Coded SaaS Killed My Team 6 days ago:
I’ve used vibe coding in a project where the coding part was small (20% of the total project, with the complex stuff being the remaining 80%) and it had relatively straightforward workflow that could be tested and accounted for without strange edge cases.
It’s not only nepo/conmen types who use vibe coding.
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 6 days ago:
That’s another thing I find fascinating about red fash scum, the constant projection of ignorance and provincialism.
Dessalines, an American, has never lived in Ukraine or russia, doesn’t speak Ukrainian or russian and yet he comes up with bullshit like “putin just wants to show he means business” or “war is war, civilian casualties are [as long as it’s Ukrainians]”.
Same with Cuba or even Syria. It’s almost certain that none of the tankies have ever spoken to a person from Cuba, let alone being friends and yet they are convinced that “Cuba is a democracy!” and “Everyone loves the regime!”.
Or this individual talking about the global south.
Come on man, we both know you don’t know shit and you’re merely roleplaying as a commie on the internet. A pro-genocide, pro-imperialism, pro-authoritarianism commie no less!

I love how tankies are obsessed with 80s red scare and McCarthy.
You can’t even see the irony in your statement.

Ah I see. I didn’t realize a censure had a technical component. That being said, by this point not much would be lost with a defederation from ML.
Still a mere two hesitations and tons of endorsements (including DB0).
ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.
Sure, they deny this, but from memory all of the Nazis at Nuremberg pleaded not guilty.
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 1 week ago:
Interesting tool.
How is that ML only has two censures:
gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.ml
ML is a tankie instance.
Also fascinating to see DB0 giving an endorsement to ML. Not surprising though.
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 1 week ago:
Sh.itjust.works is fine if you want to a mid-sized instance.
I personally find DB0 to be a bit suspect (they tolerate and sometimes enable tankies).
- Comment on A Vibe Coded SaaS Killed My Team 1 week ago:
For sure, I am talking about smaller projects where programming elements are relatively low key and critical parts are the business logic and how it impacts UX/UI and use case flows.
I was between projects and I needed money so I accepted a project from a repeat client where I knew 80% of it very well (and how to implement it), but there were parts that I vibe coded (albeit they were simple enough that I could understand the logic of what I was deploying even though I don’t know how to code).
The contract size was simply too small for me to get a subcontractor, I would be giving them most of payment (while doing 80% of the work).
I think it’s fair to use vibe coding in such situations.
I would not risk vibe coding in a situation where I felt I would be undermining the clients’ project (I want repeat clients and I don’t want to have to spend time fixing things for free).

There are specialized niche services/domains in B2B professional services and engineering where it’s honestly difficult to be evil due to the nature of the domain and because it’s B2B.
One could argue you are are still enabling evil companies, which is fair, but at least you’re not really harming anyone.
- Comment on A Vibe Coded SaaS Killed My Team 1 week ago:
I could place orders without giving my contact details or payment.
This isn’t a “vibe coding” issue. This is just basic laziness/fraud. Even with vibe coding, you can get by if the project is simple, you know the business/operational elements of the domain, you aggressively test the solution and are aware of any least common edge cases.
- Comment on Beijing Unveils Supercritical CO2 Turbine That Could Upend Power Tech | OilPrice.com 1 week ago:
Sounds a bit too good to be true.
These genre of articles “China invents magical technological” has become very popular in the last 5 years.
Not saying this isn’t a massive breakthrough or that fundamental research isn’t important (it very much is), but one should always maintain a critical posture to such things.
