    What's the best way to study and read socialist theory? Just asking.

    Jump

  • The first step would have been to read and process the suggestions in your already existing thread(s) instead of creating a new post with a slightly modified question.

  • A comparative study between the multi party system in Europe and in lndia

    Jump

  • You seem to be confusing federation and confederation. It is to be expected that the individual divisions of a federation are only partially sovereign. That's why your question is too vague. The EU is a supranational union of sovereign states and the individual multi-party systems are too different to be clustered as one multi-party system in comparison to India.

    That being said, even the individual multi-party systems in India are different from each other. While they belong together and do not differ structurally, culturally and historically they have their differences and there are different norms and problems. E.g. you have the absurd influence of cinema dynasties in a few states, and then in a few other states there is rather a stronger religious influence.

  • Has the word antisemite lost it's punch?

    Jump

  • Not really the meat of your question, but in my opinion it already lost its punch at its creation, given its etymology. I wish we would have hit the reset button and clarify that when "Semites" and "antisemite" refer to only Jews, it's only in the historical context of Nazi Germany. Sometimes I wonder, if I should simply use antisemitism for the hatred against Palestine, too, and that without any context or explanation.

  • This year I've hardly watched any movies on my own so far. I think my other hobbies simply demand more time and there is nothing I urgently want to watch currently. Even the movies I only slightly desire to watch are just some of my favorite movies like Akahige that I haven't seen in a long time.

  • Do we agree that late Gen Z (2008-) is just completely different than early Gen Z?

    Jump

  • Yes, recently I complained about a local goon and accidentally accused them of being a Gen Alpha, but they were late Gen Z. To prevent incorrect generational discrimination I propose an extension of the generations in the format {generation label}-{birth datetime in ISO 8601}-{country code}:{postalcode}-{firstname}:{lastname}-{random-id}. Now I can correctly complain how the "GenZ-2007-05-01T09:00:00Z-de:33604-Lazlo-Ailton- 16b849e3-3368-4df0-b4c1-56e9cf46c5fb" are lazy slowpokes who will be the doom of the world.

  • People who journal, why?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I fail to do it regularly, but I love it. On the one hand it helps me to wrap up the day, clear my head and fall asleep. On the other hand I love to reflect on snapshots of my past thoughts and experiences.

    It also depends on the type of journal. For example I maintain a dream journal, too, which improves your dream recall. Furthermore discovering patterns, confusions and in general yourself in your dreams is fascinating.

  • What color is the letter E?

    Jump

  • Letters don't have colors, but people may associate a specific color with a letter. It could be influenced by logos, symbols and just about anything that affected us personally in our life. It's not a logical binding.

    E.g. I can imagine that a lot of people will associate the letter "x" with the color red, because they are often displayed in that color, especially when it symbolizes deletion. Perhaps someone was a big fan of the pro wrestling stable D-Generation X and therefore they see x in a green color. Another person thinks of a black X, because they are addicted to Twitter.

    However I think most of us don't know why exactly we associate a color to a letter and it's the result of a looooot of links and associations.

  • Anthony Horowitz Says He Uses ChatGPT in Writing - Kirkus

    Jump

  • If you were a writer and I helped you with research, e.g. I suggest an adjective to you at your request that you even dismiss after some pondering, then is it correct to say that you used me to write for you? Is it the same as if I was your ghostwriter?

    My point is not that ChatGPT for research is awesome, but that the article's headline and OP's conclusion are very misleading. While I can relate to that enthusiasm, I don't believe in mincing down a source to my narrative. It's even counter-productive to spread awareness about ChatGPT's incorrectness using an incorrect takeaway from someone's statements...

  • Anthony Horowitz Says He Uses ChatGPT in Writing - Kirkus

    Jump

  • I mean, there is a huge difference between using ChatGPT for research and using it to actually write for you. Unless you speculate that he didn't reveal an example of the latter out of fear, this isn't as dramatic as the title sounds like.

  • Should I post in the [Category] Comm or should I make a [Sub-Category] Comm and post there instead? (Or do I do both?)

    Jump

  • It doesn't hurt to make a sub-category community, but please also post to c/Music. I certainly hope that on Lemmy we can stop defaulting to the majority language and culture.

    Is it possible to get the information you need from people without going into details, even if it's something complicated like politics or history?

    Jump

  • Well, people are people. It might be unpleasant and rude to systemically browse people, especially if you need to interrupt and clarify your prompts, basically treating them like chatbots.

    The way I see it, you should differiante how you approach human and inhuman sources. Information from people have a lot of advantages, too. You might get your target information quickly without any "bloat" from e.g. an encyclopedia article. However you might lose a lot of key information. A person forces you into an interactive bi-directional conversation. They will get information from you and more likely add additional information you need.

    For example you might get the commonly accepted translation of an ancient poem from an article. A human can give you that, too, but if they notice that you are absolutely not familiar with the subject, they might also clarify that a literal translation is not possible, that you need the context of this historical event and so on. In a inhuman source you might have skipped that information. This is how some people may use a trusted source, but still leave with fake news, because the extracted information is incomplete.

  • Shigeru Miyamoto has probably never compiled a line of code in his life and is still a better coder than most of you.

    Jump

  • In reality you can't reduce AI to replace only "Level 1 coding" and do only "typing". It will make assumptions about these "Level 2 and 3" decisions in its generated code. To reduce or control it you have to invest more into documentation/instructions and code review. You basically change the focus based on the assumption that "Level 1 coding" with all of that "hand-crafted" code was such a big waste of time and money. But it's a made-up problem.

    On top of that a lot of vibe-coded projects that appear here and there seem to not even intend to let the AI do only the typing. They don't just let the AI translate "flow" and "architecture" into code. They make the AI translate their demands into code.

  • Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory

    Jump

  • Could you elaborate how the configuration might not be respected? Do you mean that you've often encountered applications that save files to hard-coded paths and do not even let you change the destination path?

    If you ask me, that's just bad software design. If the software is open-source, there is the option to request the developers to read the actual path of the respective well know directory from the XDG environment variables or allow configuration.

  • Anthropic joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron

    Jump

  • If we look at only the Blender Development Fund, the list of the corporate patrons include Meta, Google, Nvidia and even Adobe. In general, this is the situation for a lot of FOSS projects. If Anthropic as a Blender patron is bad news, then things were never good in the first place.

    In my opinion, whether it's good or bad, it is a compromise that we rely on.

  • Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory

    Jump

  • The user does decide, XDG user directories are optional and configurable. Since they are already established, user-friendly distros / desktop environments already pre-install them.

    And what speaks against just using a new directory within your home directory as your "specific place that is user owned that isn't filed with cruft and configuration files"?

  • Steam Controller (2026) - PCGamer Review

    Jump

  • They clearly meant the cumulative age when two of the four children are holding the controllers together (must be a new Gen Alpha & Beta activity). The youngest child is 2 years old, the twins are 3 years old and the big boss is already 5 years old. There is no other reasonable way to interpret this.
