Is this adjusted for inflation? Not that I think Trump is any less of a fucking moron if it isn’t, just curious

Welcome to the Fediverse!

I will say, just like Reddit, we have our share of insane mods, but nobody can get banned platform-wide b/c they can just join a federated instance if their instance owner kicks them out (this is both a positive and a negative; community mods are under a lot more pressure to prevent illegal stuff on a per-comm basis than on Reddit).

Modlogs are public, so you’ll never really not know why something got removed and by whom, even if you disagree with their decision.

I left Reddit when they killed 3rd-party apps, so I never got to experience the wonderful censorship of today’s Reddit experience. Having been here now a couple years, this place feels a lot more human to me, despite (or maybe due to?) it being a lot smaller. I like it here better tbh and I hope you will too. The more the merrier!

I recommend checking out [email protected] if you’re looking for active communities, since they can be a bit harder to find than on Reddit. Also, don’t forget to block the .ml instances, they’re filled with tankies (unless you want that on your feed ig lol).

Depends on the platform - some federated instances (e.g. mine, Mbin) keep a tally of a user’s total upvotes minus downvotes as an overall “reputation” score

Musk already suggested it a few months ago

I think it means that Trump is replacing her with someone else, not that he’s taking both positions. I was confused at first too.

From the article:

President Donald Trump says he’s replacing his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

The headline is just really stupidly worded.

Again, denying reality doesn’t change anything. It’s a boring conservative exercise for which I just don’t have the energy.

So be it. I don’t know why I’m even debating this in the first place, I have better uses for my time. Have a nice day

First off, congrats on only reading/responding to the first few sentences of my response, and cherry-picking the least important part to elaborate on.

Second, I will reiterate that this is a completely disingenuous comparison using a chart which has no discernibly legitimate or verifiable source. There are not only 12 majors in the world, so your assertion that “computer scientists are on average the least literate, least well read college graduates by quite a margin” is a misrepresentation of the data, as you should well know.

Third, the majors and specific comparisons made in this chart seem hand-picked to shed Computer Science in a bad light, as every single major it is compared against is necessarily communications-oriented, and the categories of comparison are not representative of the full range of reading and writing skills you claim them to be. Feel free to disprove this, by providing an actual source for your claims other than a grainy chart that doesn’t actually back them. Otherwise, quit with the weird superiority complex, especially as someone who is supposedly responsible for educating these “idiots”.

Edit: What on earth does political affiliation have to do with any of this? Conservative my ass, I’m a democratic socialist and leaning anarchist the longer I reflect on it.

Who hurt you lmao

In all seriousness, there should be a control for liberal arts education. Computer Science is a specialized and rigorous field. If it’s taught as the sole subject of a person’s education, of course they are going to miss a lot compared to a degree in the arts. Meanwhile, as a computer science student at a liberal arts college, I’d wager I can communicate just fine.

Further, this chart feels disingenuous here due to your use of it to seemingly attempt justifying a cause-effect relationship where only correlation exists. Of course Computer Science students perform poorly in reading and writing compared to Philosophy and English majors. People who like reading and writing gravitate towards those majors, so they naturally will have a higher population of good communicators. The real issue is the failure of primary education in its attempt to train the general populace to read and write with any reasonable level of proficiency.

Also, since when are reading and writing the test of a person’s cognitive function? Some of the most genuinely intelligent people I know couldn’t write a good analytical essay if their life depended on it. Everyone has different strengths; for Computer Scientists, those just happen to be mathematics and deterministic logic instead of interpersonal communication. I don’t get where the hate is coming from.

P.S. I’d read the study but the image is too low-res to make out the URL

Omg a fellow snek boi :D

Probably because a good chunk of “computer scientists” are actually engineers. I say this as a computer scientist in the engineering college of my school

Best I can do is a small white scribble over the “i”

Sounds exactly like him tbh

This is the way. I also find throwing in a bit of ancho chile pepper tastes amazing if you like some extra spice and smokiness. Sliced mushrooms are also great in chili if you like them

Username checks out

Lemmy.ml is a server that primarily hosts “tankies”, a.k.a. authoritarian communists. You know those Americans who blindly praise the U.S. and act like it can do no wrong, but treat Russia and China like the spawn of satan? Imagine that but reversed and you have lemmy.ml.

It’s not even the political ideology that’s problematic (I would never recommend blocking someone solely over conflicting beliefs), it’s the authoritarian extremism and blind worship of dictatorial states. The whole server is a propaganda machine and gives the vibe of X/Twitter if it were left wing instead of right.

Looks like your sink is using the wrong firmware. Have you tried using modprobe to switch to the legacy one? The faucet won’t work properly but your dishes should at least load

Please tell me someone gets this lol

I can dream lol

Really? That’s new, I signed up this morning and it just worked. They must be being hammered by people leaving Discord too
