  • .ml is a leftist instance focussed on non-Western POV conversations. Mostly on the victims of Western imperialism.

    Elsewhere on the internet it’s flooded with annoying people who believe their Western, primarily US based views should represent the entire world and will constantly tell you to adopt their political strategy which has seen tremendous succes over the past century (/s).

    The US 'leftist’s favorite pastime is condensendingly yell at people to stop criticizing their favorite Democrat politician so they get healthcare at the cost of genociding Brown Untermenschen which they don’t care about because they’re Americans and anyone outside of the USA may be sacraficed.

    They throw a large tantrum when confronted with the fact people outside of the West or those in the West now have internet access, or when there are people agreeing with them.

    Here on .ml you can have anti imperialist conversations without being constantly yelled at by people who cannot fathom the world moving on from US imperialism in a different way than by voting Democrat harder.

    Linus Torvalds responded with an emphatic rejection of tool usage declarations.

    He wrote:

    What you are about is something entirely different. It has nothing to do with “expectations”, and it has everything to do with your hangups.

    I don’t understand this whole idiotic concept of “don’t use AI for X”.

    Here’s a new rule just for you: don’t use compilers for any of your kernel submissions.

    Because if you can’t show that you really understand what the machine is actually doing by writing your code in assembler, then I don’t want to see your code contribution. You clearly aren’t competent if you can’t write it that way.

    And btw, you had better not use an editor to write that commit message either.

    Because I need you to show me that you can actually write a good commit message without using tools that make it easy to backspace and hide the mistakes you made while typing.

    Ok?

    Because otherwise those tool-assisted commits of yours clearly aren’t showing that you know what you are doing.

    Do you not see how UTTERLY STUPID those kinds of rules would be?

    So no. We’re not going to make stupid rules that say “you can’t use tools for X”.

    The kind of expectations I have is that people do their best and I expect people to understand what they are doing.

    But that understanding has very little to do with what tools they use.

    And quite honestly, in my experience, the people I respect and call intelligent are not the ones that shy away from using new and interesting tools. ®
