How would you go about changing the seven_things_plus variable via the GUI?
You can't. You can get around the filtering by other means, but that doesn't make seven_things_plus any less hardcoded.
Maybe the term hardcoded have some particular negative connotations for you. In that case please explain what that connotation may be.
The correct definition just means data in the code rather than loaded at runtime. It is not necessarily a bad thing (things like unit conversion factors are perfectly reasonable to hardcode). In this case, I'll let everyone judge for themselves if hardcoding 'enoughmuskspam' is acceptable.
Putin's Russia is a nationalist and imperialist state. The Russian army has committed countless war crimes in Ukraine.
The PRC is an authoritarian state with a deeply corrupted party, extreme capitalist culture, and very little regards for individual privacy or rights. It is also engaged in homogenization campaigns suppressing the social and cultural identities of Uyghur people, constituting an ethnocide.
PieFed is promoted by people claiming they want to take influence away from the tankies who support Russia and the PRC. But from the hardcoded behavior discussed in this very thread we can see the PieFed's devs and promoters intend to suppress criticisms against the (countries|institutions|capitalists) who they support, even though these entities have committed no less evil than Russia and the PRC.
Does that satisfy you?
We'll see if I get banned from .ml now (not being snarky. i genuinely am curious to see if they will ban me).
