Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

moar...

tbf I'd probably shoot myself if I had to live in NYC too.

I can relate to this too much........

Huh. That's not how I expected to start my day.

I played with it on a couple phones but the phones weren't powerful enough to keep up with a modern OS. That being said, it looks to me like gnu/linux on mobile is the next big thing.

It's sort of sad that Anime keeps winning so hard.

It feels like when the Arabs maintained copies of ancient Greek treatises and built on the knowledge during the dark ages such that when Europe finally caught back up they were able to regain the knowledge they lost after the fall of the western roman empire.

How long will this cultural dark age last?

Double parking in a wheelchair spot. Instant firing.

It seems to me that a lot of people actually do think it's simple and no difficult choices will need to be made.

That's one of the proposed strengths of UBI, that compared to means tested welfare systems it would require significantly less overhead. (Of course, that's also one of the easily refutable points against UBI, that you can't pay literally everyone a basic income and have it come up as less money than a few bureaucrats from a much more limited system)

His stepdad got run out of town too. I heard an interesting story about the two of them on a train across Canada and everywhere they went they were pelted with eggs and tomatoes.

Just think though: America failed at capitalism by not being the first country with suicide booths. #canadaforlife

It really bothered me the way the article used the word to imply that all shared software was a problem. Hell, fbxl.net still has a lot of the games I made back in the day, and they were never meant to be commercially available at all.

Not impossible, and every step the monsters take towards silencing all speech that isn't theirs is another step towards this. The telescreen is only a matter of time at the rate we're going.

I can't debate that. If someone who was both malicious and savvy were to decide to end the Internet, it's really simple: just end the Internet. Everything becomes an appliance again with one or two hard coded functions, and even the concept of a network stack goes away.

Fined for what? You can't just go around fining companies. "Hey! You made the computer say a thing we don't like!"

I doubt the congress could even make a law like that if it wanted to.

tbf, what is anyone gonna do? Someone gonna send in the cops? The military? Launch a nuke?

Water is a solvent and soap helps water dissolve fats that would usually be hydrophobic. I'm triggered by the first line of the article.

Because things start to get hairy when you say "on the internet", let's consider a piece of corkboard. Anyone can pin something to the corkboard, so would the person who owns the corkboard be personally responsible for anything that gets pinned to it?

Jurisprudence prior to section 230 is that unmoderated discussion does not make the service provider liable for what is said. The act of active moderation is the thing that makes one liable for what is said.

In this way, cda 230 solely enables censorship by making service providers immune to prosecution if they implement content moderation.
