I still think it’s good to bring these things up, even if they get quashed pretty quick. We need to refine and sharpen our propaganda skills.

Check out this pastors commentary on the whole thing, I think it’s an interesting read:

We usually don’t post fox news articles here unless it’s with an archive link

What’s nice about Italki is you can easily change it up. Might be best to start there with a few different people till you find someone you click with.

Also I’ve taken a lot of language tutoring online, and if you have a reasonable audio/video setup (I work from home so it was already there for me) you’re good to go.

Could be good to start out with some guy in LA who learned your target language until you get conversational, and then switch to native speaking teacher(s) to build your skills from there.

The best thing you can do is hire a tutor to do private lessons with. Some can be quite affordable (exploitation alert ig, but I won’t tell on you), but if it’s a hobby you want to invest in, getting more expensive tutoring on a weekly basis is worth it. It keeps it fun since you can go at the exact pace you want, and structure the teaching to learn whatever is most fun/useful to you. There’s no “class” to be bored in or to fall behind.

Yeah people probably got a little carried away with it

Apparently his public support of the occupation is potentially punishable by sedition charges in Malaysia, the country in which he currently resides.

Id take it a step farther and say that I wouldnt address the “socialistness” of an institution as a binary, but as a spectrum of characteristics (of which the PRC/CPC has many, but is lacking others)

I disable it wherever native dark mode is supported but damn if I’m gonna blast my eyes with a white background awhen I’m browsing after 10pm

If you want to see dark mode everywhere: DarkReader

“The wealthy understand that American ‘liberals’ and American ‘conservatives’ are fundamentally on the same side”

It’s not really that bad tbh

Valid criticisms tbh (I even could say the same as a day 0 account lol)

Moderation isn’t going to “improve” because they generally are fine with everyone being goofballs, so I wouldn’t expect that.

Some people have the cascade of shitposting and useless emojis coming with their crappy views, but I don’t think our instance is great at propaganda or ROE, which is unfortunate. Would love to see what we could do with a little discipline.

Also the emojis on every other instance and all mobile apps look more obnoxious because they don’t downscale to their intended resolution.

Yeah after looking again I noticed that 😅

All OSes have vulnerabilities, and the thing is MS Defender is a working solution that prevents many attacks. Microsoft also has to provide some nominal support to enterprise apps that are 30 years old, because that’s a significant amount of what keeps them in business. Patching actual root causes would often mean changing the way things work at a fundamental level in the OS, and would break apps for a lot of their users. This could create a big problem for a lot of people.

Oh shit I thought it was a shopped picture just for the concept

Yeah, quality of community over quantity, it’s a non-issue.

Yeah if that’s a bad vibe to someone Lemmy might not be the best fit.

The post got deleted and I was told to go to the other one. In the first one they were posting only news articles

Ill call it garbage reddit-brain moderation. The reason for an /ask~ comm is cause your main comm is flooded with repeated questions that would stifle discussion. It’s also not a good solution to that problem, not too mention they don’t have enough users to be having that problem.

The way you form a community is to discuss the same things over and over until a hivemind develops, it’s a good thing to have a group consensus, not that individuals can’t disagree. Now the crappy moderation is gonna cultivate a crappy subreddit vibe instead of something better.

Chet Falizek, a dev who led L4D and a couple other games at valve talks about this a lot on TikTok, now that he’s running an indie studio. He’s a cool guy, would fit in on .ml or something for sure.
