    Python? Where? All I see is people praising Rust here. Also, Ubuntu? That’s the most hated Linux distro on Lemmy.

    Political science? Hmm, switch to all communities and sort for new. Have fun.

      Haha, the appeal of political science to me is less about arguing with strangers about the news and more talking about broader philosophies and theories and then applying them to what we are seeing in the world. I feel like I can have a more nuanced conversation about the prisoner’s dilemma with regards to x topic, or applying philosophies like American Pragmatism to solving problems.

      Talking about the news without using some of the tools political scientists use has so many emotional trip wires that it can feel like I’m just keeping up with the Kardashians. That said sometimes I just can’t help but keep up with the Kardashians.

        Recently the only news about politics I don’t find disgusting is done by political scientists. You you recommend a book on the topic for beginners?

      That’s how I browse (all & scaled or all & new) and I’m a CS nerd. To make the experience less annoying I’ve blocked a bunch of communities mainly because they’re not interesting to me (there’s a lot of anime and/or porn communities, fucking hell), but it’s generally a nice experience – I can run into all kinds of things that I hadn’t heard of before. I haven’t even gotten traumatized yet! Shame the only way to filter the feed is to block communities, but eh

    I’m not a programmer either, but I am a Linux and open source user so I can at least wade through the waters, lol

    In the early days, it was laborwave and esoteric websites, the programmer humor seems relatively new to me

    Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

      Exactly my thoughts. Back in the day when I joined the Instagram in the first month of launch there were only professional photographers posting some great stuff, it was fun until celebs and general public started using it.

        Those darn celebrities, always ruining people’s fun on social media.

        I wonder when one of them is going to show up on Lemmy…

          Honestly, this schtick is so tired and played out. I don’t believe you are who you claim to be, and even if you are, so fucking what? Big fucking deal. Its honestly pathetic if you really are her constantly going “hey look, it’s me!”. And if you’re not her, why are you running around the internet cosplaying it?

          You seem mentally ill and everyone needs to stop enabling your delusions.
