  • Sorry for the poor quality of that response. But I did not have much time at the time, and it’s hard for me to write in English (it’s not my native language). I thought it was important to point out that in your post, well argued in general, you had introduced a statement without arguments that I don’t think fits reality.[1].

    Although this may be a licence to give more force to an argument, I find it especially alarming when this is aligned with the construction of a narrative to promote American imperialism —Yankee anti-imperialism as my subjective position— with an argument with a clearly racist bias —for example: removing the whiteness and Europeaness of ethnic Russians, inciting hatred of Asians, especially those of Han ethnicity and those of Chinese origin—. All of this promotes the fascist drift of the USA and its Western allies.

    In any case, and to clarify, I am not accusing you of doing so intentionally, but rather that these types of statements, which seem to me to be at the level of QAnon or flat-earthers, strengthen this fascist drift. BTW, I would have upvoted it without that phrase.


    1. Elon Musk lives in the USA, is a member of the US government, has not disagreed (or I am not aware of it) with the tariffs on China or Russia, most of his businesses are based in the USA, he has used the Skyline satellites concurrently with the geostrategic interests of the USA —at least in Ukraine and Iran—,… He could be a detestable human being and an opportunist politician, but their interests seem aligned with the new techno-aristocrat group of the states-unitians oligarchy-only party, now controlled by their Republican faction. ↩︎






  • I think that this question from my non bot account has not reached you:

    Thanks for the wrapper :)

    Two questions:

    1. Where can I find the relation between languages and the languages_id ints?

    2. When I log in into a lemmy instance I check the protected member _requestor.nodeinfo to detect if the problem it’s the connection or the user/password:

       lemmy = Lemmy(instance)
      
       if not lemmy.log_in(user, password):
           if not lemmy._requestor.nodeinfo:
               raise LemmyException(f"Sorry, cannot connect to lemmy instance {instance}.")
           raise LemmyException(
               f"Sorry, cannot login {user} into {instance}. Bad user or wrong password."
           )
      

      There is a better way to validate it?
