  • People literally change their names because they feel like it, so I'm sure people do care outside the Internet, specially in circumstances of abuse.

  • Richard Dawkins quits atheism foundation for backing transgender ‘religion’

  • Seriously, I thought there was already an agreement on how to approach this. Sex is the biological identification. Gender is the social identification. Sexuality describes the relation towards other sexes and genders. Neither take is really is disagreeing with the other, but rather than refer to proper identification and the differences between gender, sex, and sexuality, all they are doing is raising drama and playing hot potato with the terms that already cover this.

    Yes, sex had a biological objective determinant (except for outlying cases). Yes, gender is subjective to ideology. However someone wants to identify themselves should be defined by their gender, yet things like how they get treated at the hospital is going to be determined by their biological sex. "Experts" (usually the self-appointed kind) unwilling to make any compromise at the risk of putting their big massively throbbing authority at risk, more at eleven.

  • Pornhub Is Now Blocked in Almost All of the U.S. South

  • but doing so will necessitate de-anonymizing internet traffic

    It's always funny how people from the mass surveillance and selling intelligence data lobbies suddenly rush to finance and support this sort of political virtue signalling when it looks like it can gather support, even in the EU where they are going as far as to propoe of getting rid of end-to-end encryption.

  • Yousa thinking yousa people ganna die!?!?

    killing someone is never the answer

    The your nation's army and most law enforcement disagrees with you.

    We need actual solutions

    Yep, Bernie was the proposal, and it got rejected. We still need actual solutions. As in not pure idealism.

    but I hope we as a society have evolved way beyond that point

  • Japan: Toto says do not wipe toilet seats with toilet paper

    Jump

  • If it cannot withstand paper, it cannot withstand underwear. This doesn't inspire me with security and reads more like the company trying to push away responsibility for cheap products and/or bad design. Toilets are nothing new, every country has at least a few.

    Funny thing about air dryers and using them near plastics... Yeah, guys, to the people trying to argue that toiler paper is now sandpaper, one, I'm going to venture a guess that an air dryer does more damage, and two, I'm going to trigger you by telling you how I've been using toilet paper to clean my glasses and no problem, they even still have that blue surface level "anti-reflection" protection.

  • Peer-to-peer serverless decentralized social media protocol built on The IPFS

    Jump

  • Like it or not, instance owners and moderators do perform maintenance, it's just that they inevitable become an inner subcommunity within the community that can and does eventually abuse its authority. I don't care as long as I have choice. For instances I do, allowing me to participate in the same threads regardless of which one I choose. When it involves the mod team, however, because of how much it is centralized to a mod team and how much it leeches from any competing subs, it's not viable. We should be able to choose a moderator group for our communities the same way we are able to choose instances, as long as there's ample choices the problem is addressed.

  • I think you missed a lot of my points. What's fud, the monetization of your platform? Went to give it a look, that's what a lot of those "recommended" topics are showing users are looking forward to on some of the clients. You explained something I wasn't complaining about, but now that you have, that opens up so many attack vectors as well. People can try to copy popular communities to set up fake "grassroots" communities, and it sounds like they can copy and simulate user participation along with it.

    And no, how a community identifies itself is not a minor inconvenience, it has literally fueled the domain name market, it is what people linked to, what people see in archives, and where people will go. The elephant in the room you are forgetting to mention is how the whole community will suddenly coordinate so well and won't just split itself off into several.

  • Plebbit only hosts text. Images from google and other sites can be linked/embedded in posts. This fixes the issue of hosting any nefarious content.

    Somewhere, a black hat master of ASCII art is cracking his hands.

    It's still misleading though, it takes away control from instance controllers, which in today's world, also makes it so that it is easier to swamp it with bot accounts, misinformation, and even be an unwilling decentralization participant. Looking behind the curtains, it's basically built by and around NFT (even the user avatars have to be NFT for no good reason), and already has a market for it, so don't be surprised if there is a blockchain rugpull behind this. And it also doesn't fix the inherent problem, rather, because of its design, it makes communities all the more authoritarian because whoever controls the NFT controls the moderation.

    If you use it, you will no longer have the recourse of admins when its the moderators messing up and acting in bad faith. That problem isn't due to instances, it's due to the more generalized problem of people in position of authorities more interested in representing themselves than a community or their obligations, this does nothing to, say, provide for alternative moderation groups if you are unhappy with how the current one is moderating it. It does protect your account to some degree, but it also protect the accounts of the terrorists running around spreading hate speech, and you will feed a small part of it due to its decentralized nature.

    Personally, the whole platform, https://plebbit.com/introduction , just seems a monetization strategy to monetize reddit-like communities into the NFT market. Expect the inevitable drama and subsequent crashes. But also, don't expect it, it will depend wholly on the NFT holder, which means the community will go to sh-t if it gets lost or the administrative moderators of that community become out of reach, presumably because they sold it for millions to the nearest troll farm while they went off to the Bahamas. But hey, maybe it will pull the dumb and those just interested in monetization into their eco-system.

  • Germany says Elon Musk seeking to sway Febrary election

  • That's why Felon Musk is using MAGA to issue threats of the USA implementing policies and tariffs against countries if they ban X. The problem is that the countries relenting to those threats have essentially already been invaded, just not militarily.

  • I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia

    Jump

  • This has very little to do with what our actual dystopia will do. I mean, I thought that this was by someone who was probably thinking of the families that lost someone to a coma and had been looking for grandchildren, but no, they are seriously suggesting this simply because of its utility.. Even so, all hail the new future tech bro hivemind and all, but still, not very likely. If it is something that is capable of being truly considered by societies, it will also be capable of considering worse things over it.

  • I actually only installed M.2 a few years back when I went serious on my PC. I'm aware of the issues, although it's still running good. I wonder how long it will last. I still have a few IDE drives, and some no longer can be read. Not because they've lost the data, but it just doesn't spin up correctly. It will be interesting to see how it works out, at the moment I'm keeping an eye out on the health using CrystalDiskInfo. There's certainly been cases of M.2 sticks with shitty firmware, but so far I seem to have avoided them. I'm also trying out a RAIDed M.2 mini NAS, it will be fun to see how that works out compared to the traditional NAS.

    No NVMe M.2s? What a noob! HDDs in this day and age!?!? Would you like a floppy disk with that?

    4 slots of RAM? What is this, children's playtime hour? You are only supposed to have 2 slots of RAM installed for optimum overclocking.

  • Regardless of its positive benefits, don't kid yourself. Companies implement DEI because it keeps their workspace more fluid and open to staff turnovers, specially from international hires. Not only will more hires go into a company they see won't have racial barriers for progression, but companies are less likely to have close-knit groups of locals unionizing to deal with when they make sure they aren't the sort of groups that typically interconnect socially. The change in the job dynamic also feeds into the growth of the alt-right and the clashing of the social bubbles of those comprised by locals versus those comprised by immigrants. Take the Netherlands, a DEI success story with a population that is veering far to the right.

    DEI is good, but CEOs couldn't care less. It's good to keep this in mind when answering questions like "Are the jobs AI is automating by the dozen adding diversity, or are they going to enable companies to become more regressive to the whims and fancies of their CEOs?"
