What is the XAI900T??
  • Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they're essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.

  • Out of curiosity can we get a link on the side to the communities we are subscribed to? If you feel the same way who do I contact about this?
  • Your subscription list is hidden when you're currently viewing a community or a user's profile. It should be at the bottom of your sidebar on the right if you're on https://lemmy.world/ or whatever instance your account belongs to when using the default desktop view.

    You can also use something like https://old.lemmy.world/ and your subscriptions will be in the dropdown in the upper left under "my communities". This can be viewed even when viewing another community/user's profile.

  • Don't Upvote but I came from reddit. So use to doing r whatever what is the equivalent on lemmy?
  • A little more complicated than that, if you want to go to a community hosted on your instance (in your case lemmy.ml), you would go to https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy. This is different from the Ask lemmy hosted at lemmy.world.

    To navigate to this community hosted on lemmy.world from your instance, you would instead use https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] <your_instance>/c/<community>@<instance_hosting_community>

    Using an "!" [email protected] lets you create a clickable link for other people to a specific community.

  • Potential spam communities
  • Another link spam community:

    User:

    There doesn't seem to be a way to directly report users/communities set up for spam like this.

  • What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?
  • My best guess is that there is something wrong with your 6-pin connector. That light on your gpu should be a diagnostic light. Do you have another 6 pin connector on your psu?

  • A branch of the flu family tree has died and won't be included in future US vaccines
  • Does this strain of flu come back in the year 3000?

  • Suddenly having a hell of a time using my DS4 controllers on PC
  • Have you checked that your controller is set up to emulate a 360 controller? You can use https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad to see if you configured your controller correctly. (emulating xbox controller, and haven't accidently hidden the virtual controller too)

    There usually isn't a benefit to having your virtual controller set as a DS4 Controller unless the game actually has support for ds4. (usually minor extra features like touch pad support but that's rarely used anyways).

  • How do I delete/overwrite my reddit posts without paying $20 for shreddit?
  • I'm not sure if just deleting/GDPR an account is enough to get all of their comments removed.

    Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?
  • A lot of the comments I've seen promoting AI sound very similar to ones made around the time GME was relevant or cryptocurrency. Often, the conversations sounded very artificial and the person just ends up repeating buzzwords/echo chamber instead of actually demonstrating that they have an understanding of what the technology is or its limitations.

  • Bloodborne Kart isn't allowed to be called Bloodborne Kart anymore, but it is still coming
  • Kind of surprising that the Bloodborne Demake doesn't seem to be effected, I figured that if they went after Bloodborne Kart that Sony would also try to go after that game too.

  • Whitewashing The SS: The Attempt to Re-Write the History of Hitler’s Collaborators
  • The grandparents are still being held accountable for what they did, I don't believe in descendants inheriting crimes, this is where I disagree with OP. Celebrating the grandparents in this example would be the same as celebrating the Holocaust and the people responsible for it.

    I consider society to be "dynamic"; it will change over time, and it makes more sense to make judgements of a general population based off of currently living people and how the newer generations are trending. Basing observations on a generation that is dead/will be dead within the next 15 years does not feel like it can be used to represent the current population. The changes are gradual but when you're already generalizing large groups of people, it's easier to break it up by what generation has done/are doing and if they are still around. There is going to be some bleed over between generations, but looking at how the newer generations are changing seems like a better way to see how a population will be changing in the long term.

  • Whitewashing The SS: The Attempt to Re-Write the History of Hitler’s Collaborators
  • I probably inferred too much from the post's title, especially after I had seen previous posts with very similar titles framing Canada as being supportive of Nazis.

    While I don't agree with OP's stance of associating people today with people from +70 years ago, people have differing perspectives on things and my opinion is going to be based off of how much I perceive the two things to be relevant. To me, their stance would be like holding a person accountable because their grandparents destroying a building long before they were even born.

  • Whitewashing The SS: The Attempt to Re-Write the History of Hitler’s Collaborators
  • The issue is with conflating people from an event which occurred in the 1950s and associating it with groups of people alive currently, to me these two things are distinctly different from each other, and I wouldn't link these two things together.

    Events related WWII feel irrelevant anything going on today, it's been ~75 years since then and the majority of people from that time period are already dead or >90 years old. Their actions were not influenced by people born decades after the fact, and it feels incorrect to link the two groups together. Multiple generations of people have been born in that time span further distancing people from older ideologies.

    By David Pugliese Over the years some Ukrainian Canadians have staunchly defended the 14th SS Division Galicia. They have falsely claimed that Ukrainians who served in the division were conscripted, when in reality 80,000 volunteered and 13,000 were selected. Other apologists argue that the divisio...

    With the title of the article/post, and the summary shown on desktop, it looked like this was just another post associating Canada with accepting Nazis/implying that people with Ukranian nationality are Nazis due to the phrasing of the title being similar to the titles used by the lemmygrad/lemmynsfw users.

    It's my fault for skimming the rest of the post body, it looked that was a generic image caption crediting a photographer, followed by a short paragraph copied from the article.

  • Whitewashing The SS: The Attempt to Re-Write the History of Hitler’s Collaborators
  • This post mirrors similar posts made in /c/[email protected] and /c/[email protected] where the user making the post was trying to assert that Canada welcomes Nazi soldiers. You can skim my profile for comments I've made on those posts within the last 24hs if you want a bit of context.

    Both of the original posts were deleted from their respective communities so trying to follow the comments leads to an error page informing you that the post could not be found.

    Here are some screenshots I have of the users' partially censored usernames and the associated post titles which are very similar to the wording in the title used here (I'm using censored names because I'm unsure if naming users is against the rules).
    lemmygrad user posting to /c/[email protected]
    lemmynsfw user posting to /c/[email protected]

    I'm guessing that this is getting pushed due to a recent incident involving a Canadian House of Commons speaker, and trolls have been trying to push Ukrainians as Nazis since then.

  • Zelensky and Canadian Parliament Paise Nazi SS Officer
  • Are you that same person from lemmygrad that posted the news article from 25-years ago?

    There are better sources you could have linked to than a bias tabloid with "Mixed" reporting accuracy.

    https://globalnews.ca/news/9983103/anthony-rota-ukraine-nazi-unit-apology/ Global has a slightly left-center bias with "High" reporting accuracy.

    “The Speaker is responsible for this chamber. He invited him of his own accord and he made the decision himself to recognize him. Neither the government of Canada nor the delegation of Ukraine had any knowledge of this.”

    While I would expect some basic level of competence in being able to background check someone, it isn't reasonable to assume that people automatically know the background of someone they've most likely never heard of before.

    Also, going by Rule 4, your post title does not match the Article's title, even viewing your article from Archive.org shows that the title you gave this post never matched the title of your linked article.

  • Canada admits letting in 2,000 Ukrainian SS troopers
  • You wanna check the screenshots I provided where I searched for both "Nazi" and "Canada" in World News and could not any posts about the Canadian Parliament incident? Even this half-assed post fails to provide any actual details concerning the incident.

    It's pretty easy to mess with people pushing an agenda when they have no argument to begin with. You're just blatantly here to fight with people while pretending to be concerned about Nazis in Canada, your previous comments to other people here make that obvious.

  • Canada admits letting in 2,000 Ukrainian SS troopers
  • Great, why wasn't this the original post to begin with? Go and post it as a top-level comment so people don't need to dig into a comment chain for context or edit your post to have that link in the body of the post.

    This is what shows up when searching World News for "Nazi" while sorted by New. There are no posts referencing Canada at all in any of the search results within the last 2 months. There is no context here in this community to make your post even remotely relevant.

    Your post is also the only one mentioning "Nazis" when searching World News for "Canada" while sorted by new. There are not a "dozen other threads" covering the topic, there isn't even one thread mentioning it.

    The article you posted belongs in a History community as it is an old article referencing an event which occurred in the 1950s; it isn't news. If you wanted to make a post about Canadian Parliament giving a standing ovation to a Nazi, then the article you just replied to me with should have been the original post to begin with because that is current news.

    The rules in the sidebar should be enough to tell you that your post is too old to be here. You aren't even discussing the incident, only using it as an excuse to defend posting outdated news, and trying to attack other users when you don't even understand why your original post is bad to begin with.

  • Spawners require a player to be within 16 blocks. You should notice some flame particles inside the spawner "cage" if you are within range. Funnel the zombies into a soul sand elevator before dropping them so that you can stay closer to the spawner.

  • Canada admits letting in 2,000 Ukrainian SS troopers
  • plead ignorance as the presence of Nazis in Canada

    If you're going to say that there are Nazis in Canada, at least use an article written within the last 5 years.

    You couldn't even be bothered to provide a link to an article citing incident you're referring to in your post, as a top-level comment or even as a child-comment replying to anyone saying your 25-year-old article is too old to be posted here. You haven't provided the context as to why the article in your post is relevant to anything, and anyone reading through that article would still have no knowledge about 'Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation'.

    I'm also unsure why you thought posting a 25-year-old article would be considered relevant news when it makes no mention of an incident happening within the last week.
