I really enjoy getting my view of the world challenged, preferably through chronicles and editorials about society, ethics, politics etc.

I consider myself to be open to new ideas and change. I do however have certain strongly held values, which are harder to change.

I know reading books from different authors could also accomplish the same thing. But I find that I rarely have the patience to follow one specific political point of view for an entire book.

I am interested in original ideas, or old ideas that are not mainstream. Pretty much most points of views.

I find that editorials and chronicles is a good way to grow and either enforce or weaken a belief.

Any good RSS feeds, newspapers etc. that focuses heavily on this?

I also asked this on socialism and communism at lemmy.ml, but was advised to also ask on a non .ml community.

I watched this video, and it made me want to take a deep dive into socialism/communism, with as much objectivity as I can. https://youtu.be/BeRjTtKFlVM

I understand how capitalism works, and I have doubts that it is a sustainable system for society long term, but social democracy has been a good way of keeping capitalism in-check in Norway. So even if capitalism is not ideal, it is in theory possible to tax the rich more and keep the whole thing going in the future. I also understand the exploitation and the extraction of surplus value, rent seeking etc.

Other capitalist countries such as the US is currently struggling with basic human needs. And that is "the shining beacon of capitalism".

In Norway it has for a long time been common to use the US as an example of what not to do.

What I am interested in learning is how society would operate and function under socialism / communism. More about the differences. Preferably from less dry sources than The Capital from Marx. Where can I learn more? Preferably a bit entertaining.

It is important to me that it is historically accurate and factually correct.

Look forward to your replies 😊

Hi! I am a stranger on this instance, I have read a lot of warnings about the "tankie triad", but wanted to see for myself and keep an open mind.

I am trying to replace my reliance on youtube.

I use GrayJay and have Youtube, DailyMotion(French) and PeerTube set up as sources.

Unfortunately PeerTube has really bad discoverability or little content, I don't know which.

I subscribe to Gardiner Bryant, VKC, TechLore, PrivacyGuides and a few more.

What channels do you recommend?

Adding reviews with political opinions might remove the review.

So it might be best to just rate it based on features if you write something, or just rate the apps without text at all.

I recently watched a Norwegian TV show where they pointed out that you can't even get ChatGPT to show you a boob. So I decided to test it, but being less explicit.

I couldn't even get ChatGPT to generate a renaissance painting of a woman with an exposed breast, like Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.

After that I attempted to get it to recreate the painting. It did not want to copy that painting either for copyright issues.. A public domain painting, even when pointing it out and it agreeing it did not want to do it.

When I ask it questions in regards to politics it does not seem to fare well either.

I feel that using the service kinda "trains me" to self-censor, and tries to remain artificially unbiased in a way that is uncanny.

What are your opinions about censorship and bias from LLMs/AI?

I want a single feed that I can customize and preferably weight based on how important I think something is.

The perfect solution would support Lemmy, RSS, Mastodon and maybe even Bluesky. And would allow me to increase the visibility of certain content. For instance a specific RSS feed

I am developing a game, and I want some assets for it. i was thinking of drawing some assets and then ask the "AI" to generate xyz based on my drawing style.

I was also considering just having a very specific prompt and using that to generate the assets I need.

I know there is a lot of skepticism about AI generated images, art etc. is there something I should know? Is it copyrighted? Can I use it as inspiration and make my own assets that are similar but not the same?

I am also just considering buying assets, but fear that it might not give me everything I need.

Any thoughts?

I have a chest freezer that has operating temperatures down to -15C. I want to leave it on the balcony, which has a roof and it is shielded from the elements. But for shorter periods of the year we get weather colder than -15C.

Will it damage the freezer? Will the freezer just stop running temporarily? If the ambient temperature is -20 and the inside is -5-10C then atleast it won't get hotter, so the food won't spoil if it gets colder inside.

Edit: I could connect a smart plug and disconnect it if below -15, if that would help

I want to learn Rust. There are so many resources available and I am unsure which one to go for, and if there are any tips on getting started?

I am a software developer by trade

Edit: Thanks for all the great replies!
