Comparing sexual assault to a store robbery in a tone of sarcasm is at best a poor judgement call. I agree that assaulters need to take responsibility for their actions. However, when they don't, the law needs to be there to protect th

I attended said private schools, which were 95% white and located right in the middle of school districts whose high schools are way over 75% minority with busing . And these were the severely underperforming public schools. One district o

I had the exact opposite experience reading Great Expectations in high school. To such a degree that even I recognize that my hatred of it is uncharacteristic of me.

I think this is a pretty rose-tinted look with hindsight bias. The USSR was pretty driven to be "the best" right up to their demise. North Korea existed for half a century because China intervened in the Korean War and MacArthur&#

I agree with your core thesis, but it could probably have been expressed better. In the USA there's a moral system that some people have that equates wealth to virtue. In my experience, it leads to conclusions that are generally dehum

I agree. Factorio pollution only really matters early game pre-military science even on death worlds. I wish survival was more of a challenge.

Static sites will have trouble, about the only thing I think they can support are ActivitySteam representations of their HTML content. The ActivityPub part requires dynamic processing of messages from peers, as well as sending or forwarding

When I wrote my own EVM emulator I remember seeing the same 4 garbage instructions generated at the end (or beginning? I forget) of contracts depending on the tool used to generate said contract. I never cared to figure out why, and I still

Wow, if that's how you really feel. Your eagerness to fall back to rules lawyering to justify your behavior instead of reflecting where our misunderstanding is and working to resolve it, is the kind of toxic online behavior I will glad

A "baseless allegation" is one with no evidence or reason. This guy has a reason and presumably evidence, so his allegations are not baseless. A baseless allegation would be if I were suing AT&T for losing all my crypto invest

And besides the legal definition, the principle of free speech is about being able to express speech without systematic repurcussions. Censorship by an individual (or corp-as-individual) is tool used by businesses on their platforms and

The principle of free speech has to do with the systematic extermination of a widespread viewpoint (ex:Tienamen Square in China). This is one company/guy getting booted off a private platform. He is still able to go to other platforms

It's no different if Twitter, Facebook, etc kicked you off their platform or went down. No more "you" there either. At least you would have choices of who to trust on Mastodon, or if you trust no one then run your own instanc

While that's true of ActivityPub, the data format it uses (ActivityStreams, which a form of JSON) could be hosted on a static site separate from the HTML version people are reading, which would at least make the content reference-able

And by "use something else" you mean "host your own Twitter instance"? Edit: meant to say Twitter and not Mastodon, to get the point across.
