I think in general it’s supposed to be about decentralisation, but god knows scammers will hop straight onto anything with “point-oh” in the name

Now, in a scenario where they are about to commit violence, or the justice system has failed, the balance may be different

Left your reading comprehension at home?

The argument I was supporting is that you don’t have carte blanche to do whatever you want to intolerant people. The argument I am making is that you have a moral obligation to rely on the law first because that IS the social contract. Not because the law would punish you for it.

Not all police are the same everywhere, but regardless, you can’t just stab people who are being racist.

But there’s an important difference between allowing intolerance, and letting the legal system be the arbiter of how it should be disallowed.

Vigilante justice not only deprives the perpetrator of their right to a fair trial and proportionate punishment (yes, being intolerant does not deprive you of your human rights) but also denies the victims their right to see the perpetrator receive justice.

YOU do not get to be the arbiter of justice, just because you think someone is a terrible person. Maybe they’re mentally ill. Maybe they have dementia. Maybe they’re also a victim of abuse.

Document the incident, protect and comfort the victim, contact the police and allow actual justice to take place.

Because in your scenario they are not a threat of imminent violence, and by being a vigilante you prevent society from enforcing consequences in the way the social contract defines - through the justice system.

Now, in a scenario where they are about to commit violence, or the justice system has failed, the balance may be different.

You can’t possibly make a reasonable argument that Kamala Harris is a fascist lmao

• Authoritarian: no
• Ultra-nationalist: no
• Forcible suppression of opposition: no
• Militarisation of society: no
• State controlled economy: no

If they’re exclusively supporting the right wing candidate, they’re not a centrist, then

Oh they absolutely do, but ml has a reputation for being particularly poorly moderated

Why are you unwilling to enlighten us?

This list isn’t by percentage with a home - it excludes people who rent, so all this shows is that nobody rents their home in China

Too little, too late, though, in classic Congress style

The Myanmar Rohingya genocide was nearly a decade ago now, and we’re somehow still at the “asking Mark nicely to do a better job of moderation” step, somehow

I guess the police at least are able to order Facebook to remove it (sounds like that’s what happened) but then yeah, as you say, I expect they will have just escalated to the county/state police, if anything

Our system is fucking broken - too many people cannot get the care they need, or they go into debt to get it. It needs to be fixed.

Reading comprehension

I kinda disagree - that’s not to say that they don’t usually do so for illegitimate reasons (or that these bans are legitimate), but there’s plenty of valid reasons why a government would want/need to ban a platform

X, for example, has been giving the UK a whole lot of good reasons why they may wish to consider it (restoring the accounts of people like Tommy Robinson, allowing misinformation, the owner of the platform himself actively spreading that misinformation)

HOW DARE YOU TREAT THIS COMMUNITY LIKE THIS

Not too scary - plus it goes splash all on its own!

I, too, work in a similar type of company, and can confirm from experience that Linux can get just as absolutely fucked up by a bad kernel module as windows.

And it’s not just changes to the module that can cause things to go wrong.

For example, the kernel released alongside the latest Ubuntu LTS included a change that conflicted with our module behaviour, so machines with that kernel or newer would panic on boot.

It was a super minor change, but when you’re deep in the weeds, it’s really easy for these things to be brittle. But that’s just an inherent consequence of the fact that this sort of stuff is intrinsically low-level interaction with the OS itself.

Imo the second season gets even better, I’m obsessed rn

Not yet, it’s on my list, but my local library doesn’t have a lot of Chomsky

Name a more iconic combo than lemmy.ml and criticising something they haven’t even read (watched in this case)

I’ve had a pretty good experience with them, personally, but mine are a relatively expensive pair

But for wired headphones, usb-c headphones seem to be the modern de facto standard
