Lobste.rs is probably even more on the "engineers talking to engineers" side of things. I've not visited in a while and am not sure what people there think of (the current crop of gen)AI.

I don't think I've ever read a description or definition of fascism where the population being immature is a thing.

It's not disconnected from people typing sht or fck when on their own time and their parents aren't reading.

You're a grown adult, if you want to say fuck, say fuck. If you disapprove of swearing, don't use it. But don't pseudo-expunge your own language. Thomas Bowdler isn't watching.
