The subjects that you can’t even bring up without getting downvoted, banned, fired, expelled, cancelled etc.
I hesitate to say
Close enough. Ban him.
For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East
You are more than welcome to choose from one of the pre-prepared opinions that we have on offer here… no need to bring anything new to the table and confuse such an obviously binary subject.

“ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly”
Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it’s brilliant.
Depends what you use it for. If you are trying to provide something informational, I do not trust chat gpt.
If you use it to respond to work emails because they force communication for the sake of communication, then its fine.
So, if you use it properly. Just like you wouldn’t use a fork for soup despite it being a utensil and food. Using a tool for what it’s good at and avoiding using it for things it’s bad at is part of using it properly.
I used it to help me create a level 10 DND character for a one shot and it was great for that
This is my answer too. It’s crazy how much hate a tool can get
I’d probably also develop a short temper about spanners too if they were being shoved in my face by tech companies as hard as chat bots are
We’re excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!
I don’t see why my headphones need a sp-
Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!
Okay, but that’s not wh-
We’re proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.
…
Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don’t ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.
Spanners?
British English term for wrenches.
North American term for English Wenches. I think Hoe’s are another tool misused in this manner.
Wrenches ig
If you only use it for cheating in work that won’t be read by a human anyways, it’s great!
Paedophilia as a sickness, especially non-offending paedos.
I’d call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It’s a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.
I chalk this up to not having a word to describe folks suffering from the condition as opposed to predators acting on their condition (or even predators just abusing children regardless of attraction). For a ton of people they use the word pedophile to mean someone who sexually abuses children. Because as soon as nuanced discussion about “pedophiles who don’t abuse kids” come up, people accuse you of “defending pedophiles” but they use it to mean “defending people who abuse children.”
R.A.P.E
religion, abortion, politics and economics.
Avoid discussing rape too.
Economics doesn’t seem as big of a thing as the other 3. Anyone who’s nerdy enough to talk economics without making it political could probably have a pretty good discussion. I vote we change it to Elephants. Religion, Abotion, Politics, Elephants, or Rape.
Economics is poorly understood by the vast majority of Americans. To most people, it is purely political.
Economics is purely political.
Politics is almost entirely about allocation of money and trying to influence the economy.
The fact i can tell you using economic theory its a good idea to make people unemployed as the cost of living increases, that rent controls are a really bad idea, and even ignoring profit its probably wise to increase the costs of tickets to shows and events makes me very unpopular
So what’s your favourite kind of rape?
Consenting… discussions on economics
Anything pro-suicide
Medically assisted suicide is pretty widely accepted in Canada, in my experience. Pro non medically assisted suicide or young suicide is different, maybe.
Non medically assisted
Oh that is a good one. Thanks.
I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.
I wouldn’t mind switching to alternative libraries like Svelte or Solid but can’t imagine going back to plain Javascript for complex applications. It’s a pain in the ass, even with jQuery.
I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.
Angular my beloved…
What’s wrong with it if I may ask?
There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.
That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.
I think what started me down the anti-React path was realizing that there were other frameworks out there that don’t even use a virtual dom. Plus you get tired of being told that the most obvious and intuitive way to do various things in React actually goes against some best practice that they’ve established.
On lemmy?

Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)

Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist

I’m a new user and why isn’t this more like reddit

I’m pretty okay with capitalism, actually

Here’s video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)
Maybe I’m just old school, but I’m two spaces for life. I will die on this fucking hill. If you use tabs after just a couple indents all the code is off screen. I ain’t trying to scroll in two dimensions all the time.
+1 for the video issue, or any other “just do [insert a bunch of work here], it’s less work than commenting anyways” kinda stuff
Who the fuck uses pluses as bullet points in their markdown!?
I do. Why, what do you use?
That’s the taboo! Boo! How dare you!
+ Here’s video without text summary
I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.
-
We go to youtube to watch videos. We go to lemmy comments to read text.
-
Youtube videos DO have descriptions, though?
- Sure, if it’s just a bare link in the comments I understand, but as a post with the original video title and usually an autogenerated thumbnail, I don’t see a problem.
- The YT descriptions are not shown in the list of videos and rarely contain a summary of the video.
