For me it's the long term commitment, what about y'all?

Sorry I didn't know which other community to post this on😅. So let me take example of my country, Well so what most people don't know, is that India is a socialist democracy by the constitution, and I must admit before I start that yes, there's plenty of problems with this country, but I was surprised by how deep socialist roots go in this country, so I thought a few of India's policies would make an excellent case study.

Firstly, a subtle one, existence of MRP, maximum retail price, on everything you buy. Packet of lays, coke, medicine, everything has an MRP, over which you cannot sell the product for. Enforcement had been weak historically, but even then you would only see people selling above MRP in amusement parks or movie theatres, for everyday shopping, you are almost always likely to pay the MRP price. I was surprised to know that such law doesn't exist in the west, though feel free to correct me.

Second, India's medicine patent laws. India has strict 'non evergreening' laws, which means a patent of a medicine cannot be extended unless you made the medicine better. Also government can give orders to bypass medicine patents if deemed necessary.

Third the farming in India. A nice rabbithole to dig in, but I am picking one example, Amul, the most popular brand of milk in India, is less like a company and more like a co-operative society, where they co-operate with regional dairy farms. Most of the money made by selling the milk actually goes back to the farmers.

Plenty of examples, but just these few I could think of. Infact MRP does not even exist in China, so in that policy, India is literally more left than China.

Yeah again, Indian laws in practice are riddled with corruption, but I think the template they work in are interesting, and I think west would tackle those problems a lot better.

Any more examples of socialist democracies?

I have been reading a lot that 90% of their code is AI generated, companies are pushing developers to use AI as it makes them fast. But I am a little cautious of believing them. Is it true? Also sorry I didn't find a css career subreddit so I am asking here.

Let me elaborate, how likely is that there's an animal on earth that's smarter than us? By smarter, I understand intelligence is a nuanced topic unique to different animals, so for the sake of argument, let's talk about, mathematics, critical thinking about where and how to apply those mathematical concepts, and creativity in any form.

My biggest complaint was how thin the allegory was. Like, Orwell didn't have to use animal farms at all, it read like a history lesson for most parts. I felt between chapter 3 to chapter 8 were mostly just boring and pigs Doing a power capture slowly. Did chapter 3 to 8 help create the impact of chapter 9 and 10? Absolutely. Could they have been done better? I think so, it didn't have to be read like a history lesson.

So I have been actively reducing my Internet usage mostly due to AI. So I was thinking of creating a curation of non AI content on the internet( as a project) but ngl avoiding the platforms makes me feel better😂.

So here was my question, are people on the internet fed up of AI or the social media itself? Would people actually want a curated feed of non AI content?

The reason why I am asking is, the algorithms. Like, creating a list of non AI art accounts on instagram might be something people want, but Instagram does recommend content that people aren't even following, which I think defeats the purpose of the list. Similarly youtube, though I think for YouTube it makes sense. Btw all this was personal talk, feel free to ignore it and answer the question.

It's been some time since I have been active on mainstream social media. Honestly I don't even post here or lurk here, but quality of discussions is better here than reddit so I do occasionally log in.

Why I am asking this question is, whenever I am traveling now a days, I am seeing lesser people scrolling instagram reels. Earlier it was 7 out of every 10 person, it's now becoming like 5 or 4. And on reddit it no longer feels like real people are talking there. Are you people observing the same too?

Yes it might not fit asklemmys guidelines, I just didn't know better place to ask it

Hey, to anyone who uses both platforms, have y'all seen a huge uptick in Indian subreddits being recommended to y'all, irrespective of your nationality? It's something I had heard a lot happening on reddit, but I wanted to confirm
