The argument they were making is poor.

However, moral conviction has no bearing on objective correctness.

Edit: If it did, any voluntarily suicide bomber would be objectively correct.

I'd address the other point but It doesn't sound like you're open to viewpoints that are not your own.( and don't seem to understand what objective truth actually entails )

Edit Edit:

"Cowardly Downvotes Are Bad" is another example of something that is subjective.

I believe it to be true, but that belief doesn't change the the fact that that statement isn't objectively correct. ( as in, provably true for everyone regardless of their perspectives or beliefs )

What AI does to the minds of novice coders

It was originally a mandatory download masquerading as a plugin, you couldn't remove it.

You could turn it off, except there was a convenient "bug" that meant it took every opportunity to turn itself back on.

They eventually got sick of the complaints (or already had all the data they needed) and "fixed" the bug.

The fact that a bunch of businesses telling them that "an on by default AI plugin that can't be permanently disabled, catastrophically fails a bunch of mandatory data security guidelines" and that they would not renew, probably also helped jetbrains prioritise better.

Now it's just a default install on by default. That has it's own panel functioning as an ad ( until you turn it off )

Not sure if you can fully uninstall it or not.

All of this is in their forums and issues, feel free to confirm.

And I actually like their products, but that was a shitshow.

The problem with most things that use good and bad as a foundation is that they never account for perspective.

Good and bad are made up and subjective.

If you don't account for that in your positions then you're setting yourself up for fundamentalism.

"One persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter" is a concise way that the goodness or badness of an actions or outcomes is filtered through the subjective lens of the whoever happens to be considering the topic.

On an individual level, "don't be a dick" is a pretty useful guideline , but even that is subject to what each person thinks constitutes dickish behaviour.

We’re social creatures, we have to live in societies, and it’s not difficult to determine pro social vs anti social behaviors.

Even that is subjective, think about what is socially acceptable in Finland?, how about Russia?, Morocco? France?

Do they all have the same idea of socially acceptable behaviours?

How about now vs 50 years ago? 100 years ago? 200 years in the future?.

Sure, there are some that are fairly common, but i wouldn't consider those to be of a sufficient percentage of the whole that i could disregard behvaioural subjectivity, but that's just my opinion.

You’re also not mentioning that even the base ps5, which was released 6 years ago, performs better than a Steam Machine.

is that based on the specs or some reviews somewhere ?


edit: nvm, looked it up

6700(ish) for ps5 OG

vs

7600 for steam machine

pretty close , though ps5 probably wins due to very specific optimizations for games compiled for that platform.

I'm seeing 7700xt for ps5 pro, not sure if that's correct but it certainly beats a 7600.

Pretty sure the (arguably) oldest profession of humanity is pretty much all out of fucks to give for peoples opinions of it.

but hey, some basic-ass bad-faith drive-by statements might just be the thing we need to turn this all around, keep it up, i expect the tide to turn any day now.

Leaving out details is also bias. Especially when those details are pertinent to the subject being reported on.

That he was talking about state policies could arguably be said to warrant including politics based details of the situation. Him being a failed presidential candidate and attending said event with a representatives of an anti-government extremist group would probably qualify for that.

The difference between:

Man speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota's

vs

Man known for previously running on a platform of meat-quota deregulation. speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota's, surrounded by meat industry lobbyists.

Yes, the second one sounds more negative, but that's not necessarily bias.

Small bit of relative truth mixed with hypocrisy, dog-whistle, complaint, misunderstanding of word, misunderstanding of concept of voting population.

You hit all the highlights, personally i'd have gone with more dogwhistles, maybe something to do with immigrants ?

A solid 8/10 shitpost.

Vast means large btw, as in big.
