Sure, of course, and not liking things can be done without psychoanalyzing the author and it does not require feeling superior to them or ridiculing them.
Possibly the only thing more annoying than Yudkowsky are the anonymous online people who think they figured him out. Many of them are in these threads.

vga@sopuli.xyzto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•What's wrong with Democratic Socialism?English2·9 days agoThe main potential problem of democratic socialism is that it can fuel a sort of populist policies, where politicians promise all kinds of benefits to the voters. The politicians who promise and implement those things only get the benefits (votes and power) and never have to answer for the problems (e.g. inefficient and expensive structures that were perhaps not needed at all) they create. It’s always the cleanup crew (the politicians who are responsible and implement austerity) who get the blame.
Like almost all things in this world, democratic socialism can also be great if it’s implemented well. For instance, well-funded and well-planned public schools can be awesome for the whole society, both the poor, the rich, and everyone in between. But that requires skill, intelligence, hard work, all of which are scarce resources.
It’s because we grew out of having to do physical work 8-12 hours every day just to stay alive.
vga@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?5·15 days agoReddit has some sort of permabanned me, so I cannot get even new accounts there. So you guys get to enjoy me here, yay!
They unfortunately still have the critical mass, and even though Lemmy is getting better on that front, there’s just so much more stuff on Reddit.
They’re too poor to have museums so by default yoink

Lol “as good as intellij” what the actual fuck.
I cannot imagine how much worse you’d have to make vscode to make it as shit as intellij is. And even vscode is pretty shit.
Kotlin would be a great language if it wasn’t hampered by that IDE.
So was it better or worse than satanism?
Entropy lurks everywhere.
Be sure to check Igorrr’s other stuff, it’s pretty damned interesting. and in different ways from how this one was.

At age 35 everybody oughta just carry a notebook and a pen with them. Because every other way to remember thing either fails to be fast enough or entices you to do something else.
vga@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•I tried Debian, I tried Fedora for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro RTX3060: Framerate issues, stuttering in browsers, stuttering in simple 3D programs1·2 months agoLike others suggested here, the problem is probably nouveau and you might want to try a gaming-oriented distro which usually configure these things correctly out-of-the-box. My favourite is Nobara and Fedora (which didn’t work for you but works for me because I have different hardware). People suggest Bazzite, but I cannot recommend it because it’s based on Fedora Atomic, and I don’t get along with Fedora Atomic.
As a general admittedly non-helpful suggestion, don’t get Nvidia hardware if you want to use Linux.
Living in Finland is doubly humiliating. The country where Linux started, and IT chiefs almost in every company are going “oh yeah? I’m gonna use Microsoft products even harder”
I don’t like to say this about people I don’t know but fucking idiots, man.
