I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

oce 🐆@jlai.luto World News@lemmy.world•Live Updates on the Global Market: China raises its retaliatory tariff on the US to 84% effective April 10English71·3 days agoChina is clearly going to win this part, they are not adding tariffs on the rest of the world like Trump is doing, they will win market shares because of this. Trump’s policies are actually speeding up the rise of China as the first power on many points: international free trade, renewable energies and brain drain, for example.

oce 🐆@jlai.luto World News@lemmy.world•France’s far-right leader Le Pen guilty of embezzlement in ruling that could end her careerEnglish10·12 days agoBecause what the US call conservative is what the EU calls far-right. EU conservatives, or traditional right, are similar to your average Democrat.

This kind of indirect bullying is kind of unavoidable online, because of the lack of direct contact, you don’t empathize much with the other sensitive being. Until we get that perfect education to civility that may happen in 2000 years if we still exist. Maybe one solution is to have strong rules and moderation about personal attacks. But then it’s the moderators that will get bullied for censorship and end up crucified on the power tripping bastard community.

oce 🐆@jlai.luto World News@lemmy.world•China unveils a powerful deep-sea cable cutter that could reset the world orderEnglish2·21 days agoI don’t think they need to send people down or even complex sensors, they could use a similar dumb tactic, as above, of dragging something heavy for kilometers, until they can confirm that there was a disruption on the network.
oce 🐆@jlai.luto World News@lemmy.world•China unveils a powerful deep-sea cable cutter that could reset the world orderEnglish71·21 days agoAnd it was done with something no designed for this purpose. Why is it hard to conceive that a tool designed for it would do much better?

There have multiple data and power cables cut like this in the Baltic sea recently. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/30/europe/baltic-sea-cable-anchor-drag-russia-intl-latam/index.html
oce 🐆@jlai.luto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value ContentEnglish1162·26 days agoVisible post and comment scores are still going to produce some of this behavior. You may not have a total karma but people will still get dopamine from seeing their posts getting upvotes and be reinforced in doing the same again. So the same mechanisms of social pressure and uniformisation are at play. The worst being when people delete their minority opinion comments because of the downvote pressure.
