any data on this or anything? Or are we just going to say things.

The 2008 crisis was an example of mass fraud

I guess it mostly depends on how you define fraud.

If i buy something from china, and on the way to the US it falls off the boat and into the sea, destroying it forever, is that fraud?

You can’t point to historical data saying your investment strategy is safe, even tho you completely changed the model.

historical data has nothing to do with the safety of investment. That’s like looking at the fatalities in a war, and deriving the danger from being inside of trenches.

The safety is defined as a component of risk, and stated responsibilities. An extremely safe asset would be something like land, it never moves, doesn’t go anywhere, people will always want it for something. Though it’s not an investment.

A safe investment would be something like a long term diversified stock portfolio, or government bonds.

average lemming experience really.

yeah i can imagine, probably also depends on where you live, and go to school at. For me it was easily 90+ % men. I don’t know if there was any overt sexism in the education space (workspace i can imagine there is, but that’s just how it is unfortunately), but it’s definitely a little imposing walking into a room full of primarily men/women as the other gender and just trying to be normal lol.

I think a lot of the problem, at least historically, is that women just weren’t as educated on technology as men, both throughout childhood and education. That’s changed over time now, thankfully, but i wonder if it’s more influenced by women focusing on more highly educated fields, and men moving out of those fields, and into things like CS that are still educated, but not as much as something like, micro biology, for example.

Personally as a linux user myself, i’m just happy seeing people learn about the technology they use, and learning to utilize it more effectively, possibly even learning how to create it lol. It’s an indispensably useful skill to have. Especially with how “stupid proof” modern operating systems like IOS can be. I would like to see more women in the field, but unfortunately i’m not familiar enough with it to make any significant prognosis here. Other than “you should try to self educate in your free time where possible” it might make life more interesting, you never know.

idk what the actual stats are, mostly cuz i don’t really care, and it also depends on where you look, obviously. But i was mostly going off of anecotal experience, and uh, it’s definitely not looking great. But then again a lot of younger women are going to stem fields, more so than IT and admin stuff. Management as well, i might have to look into some actual statistics one of these days to see what’s actually going on lmao.

but it’s definitely one of the things of all time in the CS space right now. It’s still very male centric, for some reason.

uhm, it says “with hands”

ask googler. Or find your local furry, i’m sure they would know.

yeah, the answer is none, because im pretty sure 80-90% of the field is men still :(

(this is a stereotype meme, so it fits, don’t @ me)

they’re not even in the woods anymore? What?

noel isn’t actually an IT guy, he’s the random guy that broke into your building but is too chill to be kicked out.

Also he’s kinda funny.

the four types of men*

FTFY

i’m blanket banned from .ml presumably over genocide debate, and i’ve been clocked on my instance a few times as well.

Though only for a week each time, so that’s interesting.

yeah uh, that’s the joke. That’s the obviously implication of the joke here.

That’s like saying that “all murderers are bad” and then me going “well hey don’t you think is a little bit broad of a generalization? And unfair to people who were unfairly charged, or perhaps in inconvenient but justified circumstances?”

You could make the meme say “lemmy.ml tankies running free posting tankie bullshit” but that doesn’t roll as well as “lemmy.ml doing tankie things because lemmy.ml seems to have no problem with tankies existing”

i assume “be civil” just means that you can’t call people “dipshit asshole dumbass idiot” and things akin to that, i.e needless name calling, calling out perceived problems as long as done civilly, or being rude, but in a civil discussed manner, is i think fair game.

i.e. i could call this a stupid post because it covers what should be clearly demonstrated by common moderation history, i.e. these kinds of threads stay around for a while, these kinds of comments tend to stick around, and that’s generally good enough reason to keep moderating as you are, precedent is a very strong thing.

but i couldn’t just call you a dumbass because you should know this, and therefore you must be the most uneducated person in the history of humanity. Because that’s not civil.

i like to think of anarchism as the educated brother to the miscarried libertarian-ism.

It’s harsh, but i’ve never seen a libertarian make a good point, or understand anything remotely relevant to government, so.

I think anarchy, by the very nature of it’s existence is more suited to handle the challenges presented by no government existing, notably, a new government being created. Because anarchy is most often following a government collapse, and followed by a new government being created.

we do a little bit of dbzer0ing

We can always do far and away better than capitalism

i think the real ticket, for global economics, especially ones that are going to be sustainable is going to be some sort of pseudo capitalist society. Especially one with a free market. Free market decentralization is a hard target to beat.

There’s room for a lot of interesting study here, i’m not sure any exists, and i’ve yet to see any unfortunately, it’s mostly just people dickwagging around trying to do the le socialism thing, which is funny, i guess.

i’ve had interactions with a lot of normal people on lemmy.ml, i’ve also had a lot of interactions with a lot of really fucking weird people on lemmy.ml

i’m also blanket banned on lemmy.ml as well, so that’s fun. They don’t really like dissenting opinion over there.

man this is such runglish holy shit

dbzer0 is chill if you like the more corner posting type shit, as well as some piracy related shit.
