Yes and no. There's a lot of Russian trolls that are manipulating the newsflow and political discussion trying to make a lot of discussion and news about fx Ukraine to drown. If you participate in the discussion and happen to have an opinion that's not in line with their agenda you will be downvoted with a sledge hammer.

However, this is nothing new. A lot of us came to Lemmy from Reddit and things weren't much different there.

Just try to not see it as something personal. There are a lot of communities on Lemmy that are friendly and welcoming even if you happen to have an unpopular opinion now and then.

Remember to write things like you would do if you were saying it to their face in real life. It's easy to be cocky when you are anonymous, not so much when they stand in front of you.

When you write something, always read through it one extra time and maybe take a pause before "sending" it. Since it's text a lot of nuances is lost. This means that something you wrote in an ironic tone that is meant to be funny can be interpreted as serious and a slap in the face by the readers.

Cool. We also use "Out bicycling" and "Owls in the bog" the exact same way in Sweden.

Swede here.

Phrase : "Nu har du skitit i det blå skåpet"

Translation : "Now you have taken a shit in the blue cupboard"

Meaning : "You really fucked up now".

Now, the powder scandal wasn't just about the execs 😁

Wait what... Who can login to the internet bank with just a user/password?

We've had MFA requirement here in Sweden since the early 00's...

Well...AI's don't snort cocaine so that's an improvement for Klarna....

With that strategy, there would have been no iPod and therefore no iPhone.

Hell, there would probably not even been a computer mouse since Rank Xerox would have been focusing on how to make copies of paper.

What in "Not that I think Intel wouldn't cheat, because they've showed what they're "capable of" time after time.." was unclear for you? Your conclusion from the above statement is that I'm probably a shill or just doesn't know IT as good as you because I don't agree with you on the spot? Really? Is that what you using your full mental capacity was able to conclude from my statement?

Let me just clear up it a little for you: The issue isn't that Intel was (is) an asshole, it's that you blurb out unsubstantiated claims and when called out on it you claim that there's a conspiracy lead by Intel, all the journalists are on it but we all should take your word for it.

We both have all the information in the world literally in our hands and still you are unable to link to facts that support your statement and that is my fault somehow?

Nice talking to you. Have an awesome weekend. I will.

Let me repeat myself: I'm not defending Intel in any way. I've seen a lot of shit and murky business practices going down since the beginning of the 90's when I started my career in IT, so I have no trouble believing that Intel did it again and again.

However, it's not that hard to back claims you make with facts when on the internet. Normally ou can link whatever with two clicks maximum.

Still no one seems to want to help me read up on Pentium 4 and Intel cheating.

The ICC "optimization", as far as I remember it, was related to the Xeon line of processors. If it was P4 related, please link so that I can read up on it.

[General Rant and not about you]I really don't understand why it's so hard for people to post links that back their claims. If you post a link you give people the opportunity to learn. If you don't, it's like you just want to be right and nothing else.

So the journalists are still covering for Intel to this day 15 years later, but the enthusiasts know the truth?

I'm still not saying you're wrong but you have to admit it's kinda strange a quick Google doesn't reveal anything?

I'm not going to say you're wrong but I'm surprised. It's like we lived in alternate universes.

Not that I think Intel wouldn't cheat, because they've showed what they're "capable of" time after time, but what I remember about Athlon vs P4 was that there was something about heat and wattage specified by AMD that was criticized heavily. Athlon was also not something you'd choose for overclock because of this.

I just googled a little and there didn't seem to be a trace of any controversy around P4 and tailormade compiler.

What CPU did you notice that on in the 90's and how did you notice it?
