  • It sounds like you’re looking for a hard link, like the one between the far right and china/russia. There is none, as far as I am aware.

    The fact they aligned their views about NATO and the Ukraine invasion with Russia (the “NATO threatened Russia, so they had no choice” narrative you also mentioned), and their general affection towards the USSR is more what I was getting at. To me, that’s sufficient to be considered pro-russian.

    As to why I called them “more dangerous” (not “worse”, I agree that the far rights ideas are considerably worse) - It’s a couple of things. I feel they are more competent in general than the right. They’re also more idealistic and consistent.

    Those by themselves are not dangerous traits, but I also question how far that affection towards the USSR and China goes.

    While I actually agree with much of their points, I’m just not that sure how much of the USSR/China they’d actually like to replicate. Regardless of that, I believe they would be fairly successful in implementing much of it - hence why I think they are more dangerous.






  • How? The sublinks devs started the project just because they didn’t want to work on Lemmy for whatever reason. If they did, they would have worked on Lemmy. It’s either Lemmy AND Sublinks, or Just Lemmy with the same developers.

    Having multiple implementations is a good thing, regardless of what language they use. They all implement the same protocol, should be (mostly) compatible, and can learn from (and compete with) each other.

    Look at other OSS. There’s so many Linux distributions, Why doesn’t everyone just work on a single one?

    Because everyone has a slightly different view on things. This makes the OSS community stronger.


  • I have seen people wanting to do Java, and while I personally prefer rust, I do see why.

    Outside of the entire Sublinks discussion, it’s important to note that Java is not just Java anymore either. Kotlin offers many of the same advantages syntax-wise that Rust does (including the lack of null), and has access to Java’s excellent ecosystem.

    Ultimately, it is up to people to decide what they want to use. Regarding of your opinions on Java or Rust, it is a valid choice either way for this type of software. It’s a personal choice.



  • Hey, it’s me, your friendly neighbourhood corporate shill, telling you to not buy any more nonstick cookware because I love Tefal so much. More for me!

    But seriously, I’m not disputing that the chemicals you listed are bad, just that the coating itself doesn’t affect you.

    PFAS bad, but only there during production. PTFE fine, and that’s what’s on your pan. PTFE does not get into your blood. Any PTFE you consume comes back out, because it is not PFAS.

    TL;DR: use pan until pan bad, then buy pan with no PTFE.




  • That stuff sticks to (aka reacts with) literally nothing. That’s the point of it. The whole innovation of nonstick cookware was the fact they got it to stick to something. It’s not even dangerous if you ingest it, it doesn’t react with anything so it just comes back out.

    What IS dangerous is the by products and intermediate products, as well as the stuff that comes off if you overheat it. (And also, like you said, when they get old)

    This whole movement against non-stick is alright, but so many people do it for the wrong reasons. If you have nonstick, just use it and don’t buy nonstick next time. Throwing away perfectly fine cookware like that is like boycotting charmin by flushing down all your remaining rolls in one go and going to the store to buy new toilet paper from another brand.
