Just move to another instance if you're so mad about who they defederate

That's, like, the entire point

Given that your very first piece of evidence of how CNN lies about China is them saying tiananmen square happened, and your "disproof" is just a link to a random website entirely devoted to denying the massacre happened, it's pretty clear why you're not exactly getting a positive response

Edit: The second disproof is literally just the Chinese government saying it isn't true, which isn't exactly thorough evidence

If you exclusively take the statements of a government as unquestionable truth, you're going to be wrong a lot, regardless of which government you choose

I mean I guess one of the biggest arguments for gene editing is that humans have been modifying the genetics of plants and animals for thousands of years, to the great benefit of humankind. While this was through selective breeding, gene editing is fundamentally a very similar ethical question.

Without genetic modification, it would have been beyond impossible to feed everyone, or even get somewhat past subsistence farming.

Modifying humans, however, is a totally different question to mosifying trees.

In set theory, this style, blackboard bold is used to represent "special sets", for example the set of all integers

Europe has fallen behind America and the gap is growing

(as long as you only focus on total GDP, semiconductor production and fossil fuels)

Using abstractions/patterns poorly is how you end up with applications that are hard to maintain.

But having no abstractions at all is a recipe for disaster, especially for a large(ish) repo like lemmy.

If you have a direct db query in each of your endpoints and decide that actually you want to use a different form of database, then you'd have to refactor every single API endpoint.

But using sensible abstractions lets you separate the details of how your data storage works from how your logic does, and now changing the database is just a case of using the other implementation.

A couple of years ago I went to my GP in a very bad mental state due to what I now am fairly sure is undiagnosed ADHD.

My GP prescribed me a walk. Never been willing to try to talk to that doctor again.

You're right, but I like the other one
