You know, the thing that always seemed really scary about the OG Nazis is that they were competent, intelligent, put-together people that were just fucking evil. Then you look at the US Nazis and the fucking bozo density is off the charts, but they seem to be succeeding anyway.

Not every fascist and Nazi needed to be competent, intelligent, and put-together. Just enough of them. I suppose we'll find out in real-time if they have amassed sufficient numbers this go 'round.

The CPC really ought to work in tandem with unions to ensure this type of shit doesn't happen.

Dover: it's either a breeze or completely inscrutable.

Similarly, I find a fair number of Rust crates (that I want to use) have virtually no doc or inline examples, and use weird metaprogramming that I can’t wrap my head around.

Is it really a true rust crate if it doesn't contain at least one inscrutable macro?

Well shit I didn't expect this to be relevant again so quickly

Once you’ve eliminated the cause for NATO, then dissolving NATO will make sense.

The cause for NATO was eliminated. NATO didn't dissolve. It grew. Spoiler alert: there are no good guys in a war between imperialists.

I'd say there are three pieces, each feeding into the next.

  1. A Culture Favouring Novelty Over Replication - There are no Nobel prizes for replicating findings. There is no Fields medal for roundly and soundly refuting the findings of a paper. There is no reputation to be built in dedicating oneself to replication efforts. All incentives push towards novel, novel, novel.
  2. Funding Follows Culture - Nobody wants to pay twice for a result (much less thrice) especially if there's a chance that you'll expose the result as Actually Wrong on the second or third go.
  3. Publish or Perish - Scientists have material needs -- both personally and for their actual work -- acquired through funding. That funding demands the publishing of novelty. If your results aren't novel, then they won't get published (not anywhere that matters, anyway). And if you don't get published (where it matters), then you don't get funded. And if you don't get funded, you perish. And so the circle of scientific life is complete.

At every step, the incentives involved in the production of science are, ironically, rewarding un-scientific behaviour and ignoring -- if not outright punishing -- actual science. Until replication is seen as an equal to novelty, this regime will persist.

We lost the .ml domains. Defederation happened.

Looks to me like lemmy.world still has lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml linked. I can see this post on All at least.

 

OCR/caption below. It's a post from a sopuli.xyz user saying that Lemmygrad is the worst Lemmy instance of them all, even ones carrying far-right terrorism, NSFL gore, and CSAM.


same, I'm on Sopuli and their Blocklist is pretty short but has the worst ones.

they are really, really bad and some are straight up illegal in some countries.

Mostly far-right ones, straight up terrorism (seriously there are people with RAF and other terrorist organization's logos on their profile pics there), nsfl gore videos (like people dying and being tortured type of stuff), and nsfw ones full of underage anime girls in suggestive poses...

lemmygrad is probably the worst one out of all of them, just because of it's [sic] size (tankie terrorist group)

Ah yes. There's far-right terrorism, NSFL gore, CSAM, but it's the commies that are "the worst one out of all of them."

Glock G19 compact 9mm, three yards, ten-round group. Still got some work to do.

 

Haven't been to the range in a while. My trigger discipline has definitely decayed. Still not terrible though.
