>showing downright despicable content such as Adolph Hitler propaganda, videos of beheadings, varying interests of pornography and even streams of anime programming That sentence makes it sound like anime is worse than beheadings and Naz

Are you referring to the first or the second part of that sentence?

Mac OS is its own operating system with its own kernel. It's neither Linux nor BSD.

I think Void's is faster. Less ergonomic though. Would be fun to see some benchmarks.

This is possibly a silly question but... when it comes to the threat of backdoor vulnerabilities inserted in the compiler itself, which would you say is the safer option? From what I can tell LLVM has a simpler codebase so that's a poi

How do you get the government to add the appropriate taxes? That's also easy to suggest and hard do.

Yes, but how do you make businesses accountable? Legislation perhaps? Who's going to vote for those? Perhaps if we could educate people to care, but as I said we're already trying that. On a individual basis, I guess bringing up t

That's easy to suggest and hard do. How are you going to change the behavior of entire populations? We are already trying education.

I'm sorry, you're right I went to far.

(I rewrote this comment after the warning) I think the kind of rationalizing you're doing is not much different from the rationalizing people on the other side of the political spectrum do. I had similar discussions with people from th

You're pointing at the other side's violence to justify your own. You're the living example of what I'm claiming happens in this thread.

That's a good idea. The important thing I think is to create a culture of privacy-preservation around the whole Matrix ecosystem so that features like that make it to the various clients.

The video series about women and videogames started a reaction that included what you describe (doxxing and gang stalking activities) among other things. That led to a reaction that included them being "removed" from 4chan. That l

I really disagree. Some of these groups barely existed 5-10 years ago and now they are everywhere. Violence cases like the one in the story is going to make them lose a lot of credit with the public, but if the other side escalates as well

It's generally believed that it gets weaker (that's the point of attacking someone - to put them down) and my point is that it tends to get stronger. Attacked groups get together and become more active and motivated. They refine t

I understand the saying, I don't understand the point. Is it that the "victimology" is completely feigned and contribute nothing to attract more people to their cause? I'm sure a lot of it is feigned, but they keep doing

That's exactly my point.

You are saying that on a story about 8chan's /pol/ board, which is populated by people who have been deplatformed from other places.

I agree it cuts both ways. Groups in both sides have gotten stronger.

I agree there were many other factors, but do you think anger at the other side's actions didn't also play a major role?

I'm not sure I understand your point, can you explain it?

I wish more people realized this is what happens when you attack a group - it gets stronger.

It's like the browser's kernel. You can build different browsers on top of the same engine without having to write everything from scratch. Chrome, Opera, Edge and Brave all share the same Blink/Webkit engine and there are a

I think this quote describes the evolution of imageboard culture pretty well: >Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company.

I don't use voice chat, so to me that's a good thing, but if you need that feature the full Riot client is probably the better option.

Much much better. Thanks!

I was disappointed the program wasn't designed to nudge users towards more privacy-conserving behavior.
