World News@lemmy.ml•Ukraine Is Deliberately Targeting Russian Civilians. These Horrific Events Are Largely Absent From Western Media Coverage
613·3 months agoTough international law does not provide a clear definition of the term ‘terrorism’, there is a general consensus on this issue. According to this consensus, terrorism involves intimidating the civilian population while causing minimal damage to the enemy’s military capabilities, with the aim of maximising civilian casualties, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children, women, the elderly and the wounded.
Such actions were seen on 11 September 2001, when Islamic terrorists hijacked four passenger planes and flew them into New York and Washington, in what is currently recognised as the largest terrorist attack in human history.
Yes, clearly those heinous attacks on civilians are worthy of being compared to 9/11. Not Russia’s deliberate attacks on Ukrainian cities though, they are totally fine. This propaganda trash has nothing in common with actual reporting. Get it out of the news community.
This reads like an order for the lemmings with the right body parts

World News@lemmy.ml•Zelensky accuses Trump of ‘giving Putin what he wanted’
8·3 months agoInteresting development. With how careful everyone was tip-toeing around Trump the last few weeks in the hope of getting him on their side, there must truly be no way forward for Zelesky to say this in public.
psst it’s "too tired".
But if the average hides a huge range of datapoints, it becomes less useful.
This looks horrible. I love it.
He is right, but most will choose convenience. And I do believe that people in the future will suffer for it. The brain is like a muscle; you have to use it to keep your mind sharp. I fear that in the future will lack critical thinking or frustration tolerance because AI makes it so easy.
That will happen to most “artforms” or jobs that require research. I notice that on myself as well. I now ask an AI for regex stringsor when I want to implement a function I’m unsure about, I ask an AI to see what they are doing first. Critical thinking is still involved, but less than it used to.
Well, he had to be, programming his own AI basically by himself.
How strong is the push to become completely independent from Denmark on the ground really?

Linux@programming.dev•Germany committing to ODF and open document standards
221·8 months agoIn 20 years then. All the custom-built software that is alteady 10 years out of date is built with Microsoft ptoducts as a hard requirement. Replacing that costs money. And if conservative governments hate one thing it’s spending money on something that won’t benefit their lobbyists.

Memes@lemmy.ml•The material conditions don't care about your idealism
311·8 months agoI just want to know if those excess deaths are part of the Marxist ideology or not. You say the USSR was a country following Marxist theory. At least 7 million people died either because they were killed by the state or died through negligence. Are all those deaths explained away by “The war caused their deaths” and “They deserved it anyways”? Were a significant number of them killed despite the USSR being marxist or because of it?

Memes@lemmy.ml•The material conditions don't care about your idealism
310·8 months agoThe very next paragraph read as follows:
Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin’s regime were 20 million or higher.[5][6][7] After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8][9][10][11][12] around 1.5 to 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[13][14][15] some 390,000[16] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[17] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories.[18] According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were “purposive” while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility.
You can’t blame all the deaths on Nazis.

211·8 months agoI just opened Wikipedia. There is a whole article about the excess mortality under Stalin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_mortality_in_the_Soviet_Union_under_Joseph_Stalin

Memes@lemmy.ml•The material conditions don't care about your idealism
213·8 months agoIn reality, states like the USSR absolutely followed Marxist analysis when deciding what to do and when.
How do millions of deaths under Stalin factor into that?

Memes@lemmy.ml•The material conditions don't care about your idealism
27·8 months agoThe former decides on an outcome and looks at what needs to happen to achieve that outcome. If you define the latter as realism, then it looks at what is reality now and what that will lead to if nothing changes or what is realistically possible with the hurdles that you will likely encounter.

1223·8 months agoIn my mind, this is ironically why every time communism “has been tried”, those countries have slipped into authotarianism that had little to no similarity with the ideal of communism. Because the reality is, that if you focus too much power on one position that decides how resources are distributed fairly, those positions attract those that care for achieving and holding power above all.
The get-business-owners-rich schemeisin full swing I see. Better check who owns those contractors.
