You seemed fairly reasonable up until you revealed that you believe in some paranoid conspiracy to disappear internet nobodies for their social media comments... >I often wonder how many nobodies disappear for some string of comments on

They do face consequences. Turn on Fox News for 5 minutes and you're bound to hear some talking head spreading alarmist narratives about cancel culture. Social Justice minded people get doxxed and dragged through the mud for their sp

If you try to speak for the Black community, and you aren't black, you don't have the "wrong color of skin", you are speaking for others without their permission, and they have the right to correct the record if they con

So you aren't using Bitcoin, the government is using Bitcoin as a backing for their own currency...

It really was a bad end. Pretty much describes how capitalism's natural end will fuck us over, and then decides to throw in some support for the billionaire landlord president he liked...

While the topics of politics and religion are definitely known stirring up controversy, and that arguments often boil down to ideology and belief making common ground hard to find, I don't think it's healthy to view them as one in

Buddy, I buy drugs all the time, and never have I ever needed a bitcoin.

Nothing says "revolution" like your freewheeling capitalist invention getting co-opted by financial giants.

Once "Have fun being poor" started becoming a battle cry, I realized how completely perverted the original concept had become.

This doesn't kill IRC. The name isn't important. It's just a brand. If the Freenode volunteers and users move to Libera Chat, then Libera Chat becomes the new Freenode. Oracle didn't kill Continuous Integration when th

I took the test, and it pretty conclusively proved to me that I cannot detect the difference. And even if I could detect the difference, I am not convinced that the improvement in bitrate would actually result in any increased enjoyment.

So they're bringing spatial audio, a live-performance gimmick that is nearly impossible to accomplish with headphones, and lossless audio, a quality improvement undetectable by the human ear, and completely negated by bluetooth transmi

I don't think you could be any more wrong. Enhancements like this are going to be the thing that brings VR fully into the mainstream. It will be industry-changing. This tech is in its infancy. I promise you, the final result is going

Blockchain tech, as far as I can tell, is fully fleshed out. There's really no revolutionary direction I can see it going. It's influential, I'll give it that, but it's about as revolutionary as taking up a gambling ha

"Killing people to teach them about risk" seems like a bad decision, especially if the endgame is to save lives.

What do you mean the UI is bad? Which one? https://www.openpgp.org/software/ Sounds to me like you used a specific piece of PGP software you didn't like or understand. How can you folks care so much about your p

1. Do most people actually care enough about PayPal knowing about their Venmo transactions to sacrifice ease-of-use and use a cryptocurrency instead? Is it worth having to endure volatility and have to deal with exchanges just to hide that

If audio quality is so critically important for communication, then yeah, maybe send your employees headsets and make it a requirement. It shouldn't be a matter of audiophiles trying to convince their co-workers to change their habits.

You're right. I would never want to hang out with someone who, because of a single difference in opinion about dolls, would conclude that I am "sick in the head" and therefore socially worthless. And I'm not even touchi

Yeah, how dare anyone study the past and the present in order to consider the best path for the future. Real science is about accepting things at face value and never asking hard questions.

That's not quite what they were comparing. Comparing deaths caused by COVID to deaths caused by contaminated hand sanitizer isn't a fair comparison. Comparing lives saved by hand sanitizer to lives lost to sanitizer contamination

Kinda wild that there's such a steep market rate for being allowed adequately communicate over the open air.

They sometimes get more than just payment. If a publication promises to show an ad for a specific company, before a visitor can read a specific article, that company try to help drive visitors to that article to drive more ad views. This i

Out of the 155.75 Million working Americans, 80.4 million make minimum wage. That's 51.6% (a majority) of workers making minimum wage. So yeah.

It's not a huge surprise that this guy's single-user instance gets suspended, with violent content like this: https://s.sneak.berlin/@sneak/105936796868205796

Cool story. If you don't like the way that instance is administrated, I recommend not signing up for an account there.

by RIMR 6y ago
It's interesting that you think that another Mastodon instance admin has any control of what thousands of people are "allowed to read". Your website is still online, isn't it? You didn't get censored, you got disci
