You are aware that the .ml doesn't stand for machine learning, right?

[–] atocci@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some people made an account there right in the beginning of the Reddit fiasco before there were any viable alternative instances, like I did. Looking at the age of the account, I'm guessing that's what they did too.

Yeah it's the TLD for the country of Mali

[–] Suspicious@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This weird equivalence some people draw between liking/agreeing with a significant amount of ML work and defending everything the Soviet Union and CCP have ever done....it's really weird

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Maybe they know something we don't.

EDIT: JSYK, it's CPC. CCP is the intentionally wrong abbreviation that nazi propagandists use and I don't think that's what you intended.

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),[3] officially the Communist Party of China (CPC),[4] is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC). - Wikipedia

No, it's CCP. I don't call Nazis by what they choose to be called so i will also not do that for the CCP

[–] spiderplant@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't tell me you think the Nazi party were socialist because it was in their name?

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, but i will not call the CCP what they want to be called. The commies caused china to be what it is. Just because they are auth now doesnt change my hatred for the governing body.

[–] spiderplant@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Apologies I misread your comment and thought you were saying the CCP were Nazi's.

Since you mentioned it, i have to ask what's so bad about China now?

Not a big fan of any nation state myself as an anarchist but want to know specifically what you'd consider bad that couldn't be applied to the US or other western nations.

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I can tell you what i very very dislike.
I very very dislike the censorship and subsequent propaganda the governing body spits out every time disaster strikes.
Flooding of huge swaths of land? Better post some fake helpers moving one bag of sand with 50 people on douyin.
Tofu Dreg Highrise collapse and people lost their homes? Eh, not my problem. post some fake helpers moving one bag of sand with 50 people on douyin.

96 percent of all citizens earn less than 5 dollars a day? Better spread the big news that we "lifted millions of people out of poverty" everywhere on the internet. Nobody will look up any of the figures and see that people living in the countryside still cannot afford to live normal lives in their home country because they barely make 3 dollars a day.

I can go on.
The worst i hear from the US is that Ohio and Jackson have no clean drinking water.

Ohio because of a train derailment that was directly caused by political incompetence and jackson because of old laws.
But on the US this isnt censored. All news station reported on it. Nobody went to jail for posting tiktoks about it.

The US doesn't send students abroad to intimidate other american students who dare say anything against the republicans.

The US doesn’t send students abroad to intimidate other american students who dare say anything against the republicans.

uh no they send missiles, tanks, and bombs

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Nice whataboutism. Did you know that a real counterargument wouldn't be something that China also does?
Also funny that you're only really trying to devalue one of the many things i've said but have nothing else to say.

Which country that spoke bad about the US did the US bomb?

[–] CatradoraSomething@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you just dismissed other commies because you don't understand them?

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What?
China isn't communist...

[–] CatradoraSomething@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Are you an expert in that field? Have you talked to any? Why do yall just split up and fight whenever other commies exist?

[–] CatradoraSomething@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if you're gonna insist on being a nazi, your really should just follow the leader

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

What are you on about?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dont think its inately a nazi thing, CCP works better as a shorthand in english than CPC. Plus is there really much of a difference between calling them the Communist party of China or the Chinese Communist party. Usually in these circumstances the shorter option wins. Plus is there even a difference in Chinese? Like I know its a lot looser with this type of shit.

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a difference if you ask Tankies.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So there is no practical difference and at most ill get a bunch of dipshits with ill fitting ushankas screeching at me... Neat.

[–] CatradoraSomething@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

there is a literal difference, you just learn all your shit from reddit, youtube, and fox

Yeah sure dude, papa CCP aing gonna love ya more just cause ya suck em off.

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it's just semantics.
China is a dictatorship that call themselves communist. That's it.

[–] CatradoraSomething@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

China is a dictatorship that call themselves communist. That’s it.

again doesn't disprove what im saying.

what does machine learning have to do with it?

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a joke at the domain name for people who think it means "Machine Learning" and not "Marxism-Leninism"

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

TIL it was picked for Marxism-Leninism

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I thought it was just a very cheap domain.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

yeah, they used to be free

Flashbacks to dot.tk being a revolutionary act. Thank you Tokelau

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I mean not really? I just say that because the developers of lemmy are quite left-wing. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was the reason.
