Brazil's president calls U.S. economic embargo on Cuba 'illegal,' condemns terrorist list label
dunno about legality, but it's not cool, and none of these embargoes succeeded at causing a regime change anywhere as far as I know

try ordering by new, the active ordering will show old threads if people are still commenting on them
and that's a good thing, on reddit you kind of can't keep a conversation as the threads die too fast

Fellow Latin Americans/Africans/Asians/Oceanians, what is something that Americans and/or Europeans have/do that makes no sense to you?
American Patriotism feels weird, we kind of have the reverse sentiment in Brazil (that everything here is worse).
On a side note, when I was a kid if I saw a movie character talking about how awesome America is I thought we south-americans were included on it, kind of awkward to learn it wasn't

Israel's endgame? No sign of post-war plan for Gaza
I'd like a single atheist state where Palestine and Israeli have equal rights but religion is strictly outlawed. But I wouldn't kill people to achieve that, so I think my endgame isn't gonna happen

What programming languages aren't too criticized here?

Whenever I tested something that sounds great yet it is slow to get adoption I end learning a reason why it it's not growing. It's good to learn what the reason is before you spend a lot of time on it

Do you need a better solution to a problem to criticise obvious flaws in someone else's solution?
you need to at least be able to explain what is wrong. a "this is bad" criticism is just frustrating

Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023?
Reply in thread
About the third point, the performance of your JavaScript code can be worse if it's broken down into several small files rather than a single, bundled file. When a browser encounters a script tag linking to an external JavaScript file, it makes an HTTP request to fetch that file. This process occurs for each separate file. Each HTTP request involves time for network latency, server processing, and data transfer.
I'm usually preferring typescript too, but this point got me curious. I'm guessing it wasn't an honest point, almost everywhere I look people are still using a build step, and I didn't notice any move in a different direction

What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?
When I want to read something relatively well verified and unbiased I reach for Wikipedia. They are doing a better job than any other source I found on the internet so far on keeping things clear of BS

YSK: When you want to learn the facts on a controversial topic, check Wikipedia
Reply in thread
No, I didn't anticipate significant backslash. The criticism of Wikipedia is valid, but I'm comparing it to the raw stream of BS I get on social media, not to an idealistic vision of what wikipedia should be

Finland has no private schools – and its pupils perform better than British children
Reply in thread
I'm afraid if private schools were removed the really wealthy would just send their kids to study in another country like they already do, and the middle class would lose this option, and we get worse as a whole

20+ years of xp, interviews are still hard, still dunno what to do with carrear
Reply in thread
Now you mention it, maybe people with a better interview/offer rate are also doing a better job on not wasting time with positions they aren't a great fit? I get interested when they ask me about things I used only a little before, so I end doing a lof of these
I suspect that some interviews are just to say they interviewed X people before they chose someone

Everyone with your exact job title in your industry vanishes, how long until awful things happen?
the work will be done for people with slightly different job titles? there is a lot of different titles that are mostly the same

consciousness is just an illusion. the only hard problem is people trying to make reality fit into their beliefs instead of the other way around
