Oh yeah I meant to say that some sciences have origins that predate empiricism itself. Astronomy for example. Also, some may argue that not all sciences are rooted on evidence in the same way (e.g. positivism would call psychoanalysis a pseudoscience even though there’re powerful conclusions that were drown without evidence and have helped people).

Actually, all hypothesis start with a certain lack of evidence. Some hold for their own value, as potential explanations… Yes, O am not talking about maths anymore but about all sciences. For example many subatomic particles that are investigated by CERN. That’s why I believe your approach was shortsighted.

Can we really separate maths and physics? I don’t think so. Also, is empiricism the appropriate way to define sciences? Isn’t that a modern shortsightedness??

Lemmy has bans, no shadowbans. There’s no recommender algorithm to make the “shadow” part. Or mod tool to edit votes. I believe you are using incorrectly the term. Please clarify. A ban is a ban. Shadowban is no ban per se, but from there on you post to /dev/null in whichever platform has support for that shit (i.e. meta)

Yeah, the Germans were systematic and that makes them worst. Thanks for answering, I was asking sincerely. Pretty much agreed on the comment that said that it was like asking if its worst to get stabbed in the right or left lung. Now I see the oversimplification, since in one case we have that “effectiveness” trait.

In any case, bwfore doing any ranking one should ask “why” do it… Like, what’s the aim here.

But, since we are doing it, let me bring the case of Latin America. The royalty of both Spain and Portugal are to be scrutinized. If not for their systematic approaches, let’s just try comparing the numbers. Entire civilizations were decimated. And the years it took were long enough to have settlers perpetuating actions locally… Oh, the cheery on top of it all is that until recently this wasn’t acknowledged even at schools. Even today there are statues of f*ing Columbus in Spain. Or museums with weapons of ‘Conquistadores’ without really stopping to reflect upon the terror they brought to natives. And not so long ago, in Latin América, 12th Oct. was a holiday for commemorating the “discovery” of the continent… Just plain as that. Obscene and insidious genocide. For me, it’s at the top.

Once, I read that Nazism is the internalization within Europe of Colonialist practices, only modernized (e.g. gas chambers vs. contagious blankets). Mindblowin’ eh?

I wonder if the downvotes are people ignoring genocide or what, and on towards which side . . .

The only potentially war-crime part is making Russian civilians unwitting accomplices and potential targets.

That’s no war-crime. That is Kremlin against their own people (murder is not war crime…)

Yet, they’re entitled to their own decisions, triumphs and failures. So, they can shutdown the instance. Now, it would be a different thing if people really want them to be around again, raise some money, grab a backup, buy the domain name, let’s gooo!! …or not. Fine by me. If only 2 users from the instance decided to start a new one this is a huge win :)

I am still using R-lang dataframes…, Or tibbles :)

Instances can close registrations if there are too many bots, and somehow it could be okay. Bots aren’t impossible to fight, the problem is that capitalist platforms support or ignore the issue since for them is somewhat convenient driving engagement… Or whatever ad-revenue system is behind that.

Transphobes iirc

At last, a biblically accurate angel we can enjoy. Jesus! Pass me the bread already

A fork is desirable. Then we can have antifa hacktivists contributing to that source with malware to scare them out of their dumb political views.

Not one mention to moderation. The strength and focus of our “small isles” is on taking control of moderating the contents. We can stop fascists posts, and we can share alternative narratives (e.g. solarpunk) to Sillicon Valley. Plus, spoiler alerts as content warnings, etc. I think mastodon with their covenant is the greatest example of this ethos.

Just the memes, and then I hear someone mention some atrocity and I understand the half of them :p

Apprently, yes. Haven’t tested it (yet). Btw you are on a kbin instance. Fyi, Mbin is a community fork that superseded kbin with new features (more info on the link’s homepage…)

“Facebook” is an equally alienating name if you don’t know English. But I agree, German is difficult!

Use pipx or uv --run
