“How to Clean Leather Sandals”

I don’t own leather sandals and am not sure I know anyone who does, so that is very unlikely any time soon.

You think you’re the first person to have this bad idea? This https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freedom-to-run.html was written in 2012 and I suggest you read it before posting anything here again.

That’s not an act.

Charged, sure he can; convicted is a different story.

What acts exactly do you think meet those criteria?

Here’s a good introduction into the theory behind criminal punishment, which prisons are a form of: https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=41

• Moderation Is Different From Censorship (if you want people to enjoy being on a platform, you need to make sure people see things they enjoy seeing even if other people have been posting other things too)
• Hey Elon: Let Me Help You Speed Run The Content Moderation Learning Curve (there are also other reasons, including legal reasons, why you can’t have a “censorship-free system” for very long; someone else already raised the point that if you build a “censorship-free system”, the government is eventually going to shut you down for hosting child porn)

KDE is a community of developers.

KDE Plasma is the desktop environment made by the KDE community.

This has been the correct terminology since 2009, much longer than “the past year or so”, but a lot of people do still call KDE Plasma just “KDE” colloquially, so maybe you have just been noticing people using the correct terminology more recently.

I was once asked to not post within a few seconds. Since then I’ve made a habit of waiting a few minutes between posts, since then I’ve not gotten any complaints.

Me too. More than once on a language learning subreddit for my first language: “I asked ChatGPT whether this was correct grammar in German, it said no, but I read this counterexample”, then everyone correctly responded “why the fuck are you asking ChatGPT about this”.

Which “bunch of people”? Question is way too vague to answer meaningfully, there are many people who have one reason or another to hate Wikipedia.

I don’t think that would be any better. It is still compulsory service and a violation of people’s individual freedoms to choose how to live their lives.

(and many countries do allow that as an alternative e.g. for conscientious objectors)

The article doesn’t have him use that word, it’s the Onion’s choice of word.

The birthright citizenship one is the main one that comes to mind. I do not think all of them are, that would be stretching things.

There’s something similar much older than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia#Conservative_Bible_Project

Yes, but that is less likely if they have been deleted very soon after creation.

citing sources such as … “traditional news media”, right?

Israel/Palestine is truly a conflict where no matter what argument you raise (on either side), there is a counterargument.

The argument against yours, for example, is here: https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2024/05/a-really-strange-genocide.html

I am generally very sympathetic to the Palestinians and think the immediate root cause of the present situation is the fact that Israel has been blockading Gaza for more than a decade, not allowing movement in or out of it, which I do not think can be justified by anything. I regularly read the blog I linked to above (yes, I consciously read things I don’t agree with), its author would probably say that the immediate root cause is something Hamas did in October of 2023. Difficult to say how to “neutrally” present that, right?

Yeah but instances are supposed to e.g. delete posts when the user deletes them. A malicious instance might not do that. Even without malice, I know this doesn’t always work because some weeks ago, I deleted a comment almost immediately after saving it, then kept getting upvotes for it; I found out this was because (at least) one very popular instance hadn’t deleted that comment, its users were still seeing it and upvoting it.
