That policy is completely absurd on its face. >YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities’ medical information about COVID-19 Wh

It's not specifically fascist, in the sense that many groups are doing it, and it's not exactly a central tenet of fascism. Mussolini was himself a journalist.

Very few people understand fascism because it's a very context-specific and loosely-defined ideology. Unlike Marxists, fascists rarely wrote books. So if you read any book about fascism, the first chapter typically struggles with even

It's quite likely there is foreign interference, but it would be nice to have some solid evidence for once. The bets are open, I guess.

No, it makes absolutely no fucking sense. I can guarantee you that the people in New Zealand are not fed up about whatever the hell happens in the bloody MINNEAPOLIS police department. Your entire narrative makes no sense and it's just

Judging from this thread full of compassionate people, it's pretty clear to me that they should be the ones being cops, and not the current cops. So we should compensate cops the equivalent salary of a software developer, to create inc

I don't know, do you have any information on this? I'm particularly interested in who funded and organized the media operations in countries like Germany or the UK. We do know that Soros does that, but he's not the only one,

I use Gitea for my own projects, i.e. I do the setup myself and it's trivial. It uses SQLite as backend, so no complex DB deployment. It's very easy to deploy, consumes few resources (you can run it on a low-end VPS). It even has

Well, if you want to focus on police abuse, journalists and opposition leaders are routinely tortured and killed by security forces in Africa. No one gives a shit. You might say, well, that particular case happened in <whatever city whe

So... Don't have guns, because the government will kill you anyway? That's encouraging.

Exactly.

I do believe in the self-determination of communities. It's fine to have some sort of government at the federal or supra-national level but it should be restricted and unanimous (i.e. a libertarian, "nightwatchman state"). It

What would you do with nukes and tanks, or even drones? You defend your rights with guns, not aircraft carriers.

Suppose a small town in rural US decides to refuse carrying out whatever order or restriction coming down from the federal government. Population ~5,000, they have guns and ammo. What exactly would you, special forces or the government be a

Did you mean black and brown people? And why are you doing this to them anyway?

According to the dictionary, a framework is "an essential supporting structure of a building, vehicle, or object". In software it's the same thing. The framework defines the structure, you just fill in the blanks like you wou

What if instead they revamped their ancient microservices into modern monolithic applications? I'm sorry, but I can't stand this kind of bullshit. You cannot possibly take two random things, put 'modern' in front of one

Few people actually need high availability. If you do, the recipe is to reduce the number of components, get the most reliable components you can find, and make the single points of failure redundant. Saying you can use Kubernetes to turn w

I don't have a horse in this nonsense but I find it hilarious that even users of Kubeanraenet have some trouble defining what it even is.

Yes, and? It's not going to change the orbits of planets. Ecosystems will have to adapt to mosquitoes disappearing, like they did when countless other species disappeared.

Pretty much zero humans would die. Ecosystems adapt. The things eating mosquitoes would find something else to eat, or maybe not. Some species will grow their population, some will reduce. Some species will evolve a bit differently. The ide

If the lies are obvious, why do they need "fact checking"?

Yes, it was not clear which representatives you were talking about.

As I said, it doesn't really matter, if they defend a good argument for the wrong reasons. It's quite possible that some people who want free speech now might be against free speech for others, but that's hardly an argument a

It might be true on some platforms like Facebook, where your network tends to be made up of family and colleagues (so you can't really avoid what your uncle might have to say), but I don't think it's true on social media webs

It's pretty obvious that people who have their own speech being suppressed would be advocating for freedom of speech. That's almost tautological, and not a particularly interesting argument.

If most places ban a certain type of content, it's likely that you will find more of that content in the few places where it's allowed. I'm questioning the idea that if all platforms were to be less restrictive, that particul

Why do you think they would become overwhelmed with this type of content in particular?
