The meme seems to be ironic than actually saying that Doland is like that.

Should I mention that in meme title or description?

True. At the same time, it seems to have made people talk more about renewable/alternate energy resources.

I think you may have misunderstood point of that image.

It not on the sources being biased(there are no unbiased sources), but noting the easily notable bias in the Wikipedia source selection, the preference for media funded by pro-capitalist regimes.

Do you see an issue in noting how Wikipedia has this bias, and going against the notion by some that it is unbiased or neutral?

The meme seems to replying to those who ignore the attacks that Socialism faced and try to say that it 'naturally' is destined to fail. The meme seems to be criticism on that and reminding them of the great threats that Socialist-led states faced to still thrive.

It does not mean that we are surprised, but for others who ignore that aspect or maybe spreading such a negative image to others.

I think Socialist-led states have observed failures and made changes to survive and thrive.

ThirdConsul is pretending socialism means the absence entirely of private property.

That is actually the aim of Communism, not Socialism, right? For that, there would be a transitionary phase, phase of socialism as an in-between stage, right?

I am not too well-versed on various lines of theory, but from observation, I think some non-Leninist Marxists do not subscribe to a multi phase development plan.

Being informed of the bias is also positive

No one mentioned anything about throwing the bathwater, but only hinted at the bias.

Are you trying to villainise and portray it as anti-intellectualism?
Are you thinking that the source you use is unbiased and trying to derial convos that hint at how it is not unbiased?

Noting the bias is a good thing and trying to shut down the convoys on that is a bigger mf to all of us.

Your concerns isn't unwarranted, but it does flirt with strawmanning and derailing the convo.

I think they were weaker, had lesser resources.

Many socialist states were former colonies or under capitalist regimes aligned with the colonial capitalist regimes, Vietnam, Laos, Korea, Cuba. They bad to build themselves up, under the capitalist attempts at sabotage. So unlikely they had enough resources to do anything back at hat scale.

USSR was indeed a powerful ally for them, but seems to have lesser resources compared to the Western empires with all their centuries of colonial expanse and the wealth accumulated.

The Sino-Soviet split also probably reduced united strength

The capitalist colonial regimes in many places fell tho. The South African apartheid regime backed by the USAmerican capitalist bloc, fell. Many colonies got free.

So, they were able to tackle colonialism, but likely did not have more resources for the level of influence that the colonial/capitalist bloc had

Idk, why should this issue be seen as good?

And what is your culture? Is Wikipedia good for it?

[–] 1Malayali@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

Vastly better than USAmerica

Is that the reason for Wikipedia's bias against their media?

Europe tags along with USAmerican regime's capitalist-imperialist actions and so their media is given an exemption?

Heck, even ProleWiki says that Socialism in China is a dream for the future, and that they are aiming for the poetic 100th birthday of PRC. I will believe that when I see it, because for now it's just a capitalist country.

Even if they are currently capitalist, they do not see it as the end stage, like the pro-capitalist regimes do?

So, let's not lie to ourselves, to deny the obvious preference that the Wikipedia page shows for the media from the pro-capitalist regimes.

China is led by a Communist party that aims to progress in the path of Socialism.

Compared to the West, not pro-Capitalist enough for Wikipedia then?

 

Do things painting the roof white help to reduce the heat in a significant way? Have seen it being mentioned in videos on black vs white coloured cars.

Are there any drawbacks noted by people who tried it for roofs?
Or are there other options that are easier to start with?

Picking up or removing a skill, tool or habit etc? Or learning about some new method to do things?

I think isomteric exercises(low intensity), especially neck exercises have been habe been good for me.

Quick ribbon shortcuts is another thing

 

Any features or apps more people should know of or would benefit from?


On this one, the No Large Media Elements from ublock Origin, it is a pretty good feature. Animations or pictures larger than the selected size are replaced by a red border. Clicking it will load that image.
Or you can temporarily turn it off for the website and reload the tab. There is an option to exclude Websites too. e.g. Excluding Lemmy instances where you want to see images by default.

More info: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-large-media-elements

Remembered about this recently in a Lemmy convo. I had heard that uBo with full capabilities is now only available in Firefox.
Curious to know other apps or extensions that may have some cool features.

But he does

 

The kind where you know you have to do stuff, but avoid getting around due to distractions/difficulty/fear etc?

 

Speech to text, Voice typing is cool.
F-droid lists opensource apps that support Whisper and Vosk models.
Futo voice is not opensource, but is source available.
It's good for English. For my mother tongue, Malayalam, the support seems to be underdeveloped currently.
Handy seems to be good for Windows, but have not used it much.

Then for Translations: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator/
Using Mozilla's translation Models. A good enough offline and Open source alternative to GTranslate.

Are there other cool uses of offline ML/AI that you know?

 
 

I remember seeing memes about the first 9/11 and thought about it after seeing a recent post. It would be good to remember that too
