Where did you explain that? Please quote it.

You don't even know what that means and you're just throwing it around on things that aren't that. Citing logical fallacies is useless and the absolute worst debate bro thought terminating cliche.

What, political bias vs political alignment? Again, where would a heavily biased, centrist aligned source go on their graph? You haven't answered that.

What does the spectrum illustrate if not bias? Because it sure looks like it's a scale of bias: Extreme Left Bias, Left Bias, Left-Center Bias, Least Bias, Right-Center Bias, Extreme Right Bias. And it sure seems to correspond with the part of the article right below it that explicitly says "Right-Center Bias"

And again, where would a centrist biased source go on that spectrum?

Also: ad hominem if you want to just link logical fallacies.

And it is your responsibility. You are trying to disprove what I said but have offered no proof otherwise.

Please tell me where on their bias spectrum a centrist biased source would go. I'm not conflating anything, the site is.

Are you saying that being a centrist and being unbiased are the same? Is there no such thing as a centrist bias?

And don’t say I’m putting words in your mouth. You said that my comment isn’t fact, so what about it isn’t factual?

Or are you saying the site does make that distinction? Because their scale of left bias - unbiased - right bias with a complete lack of centrist bias is proof that they don’t. Here’s the proof of my claim, right from their website, the center is labeled “least biased”:

Media Bias Fact Check, the site that makes no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.

People have different preferences for the amount of space. Tab allows people to set their preference in their environment without affecting the code.

Imagine not having an IDE that automatically fixes the spacing of pasted text.

But with tabs each contributor is free to choose how the indent looks. If it looks horrible on some system, that’s a configuration issue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That’s horrible.

Tabs make more sense because that’s exactly what they’re for, indents. Ignoring how it looks, which makes more semantic sense for an indent, or ? You wouldn’t use a bunch of spaces to indent a paragraph, so why would you use it to indent code?
