can we really blame folks for choosing a fast death?

Yes.

One option has opportunity, the other is… This horseshit.

Yes, I will absolutely blame any accelerationist, every time.

Edit: If you think more people getting more hurt is OK because it might result in a more left future later, just fucking block me now please. And also gfy.

In general, no. In terms of specific policies as an AG, there were some.

I’d say she’s a centrist, with some progressive policies and some regressive. Just my opinion obviously.

It released, but for the prior version of KDE, not current.

That said, take a look at Application Dashboard, Plasma Drawer, and maybe Rocket but I don’t think its been updated in a few years.

Flowing/coming together.

I think what they are referring to are docs where pieces are explained individually, but not in a consistent or cohesive way, obfuscating use.

Python is phenomenal for prototyping IMO.

Once you need performance, its best to use another language (even partially).

But quickly banging out a concept, to me, is the big win for python.

I just have my downloader trigger a scan at completion.

I have a few proxmox clusters going, combining it all wouldn’t be practical. This way my servers (tiny/mini/micros I’ve repurposed) stay small with decent sized ssd’s, big storage in 2 NAS’s, and a third for backups.

My NASs are purely NAS, I prefer a Debian server for… Pretty much everything. But my storage only does storage, I keep those separate (even for an old PC acting as a NAS).

No matter what goes down, I can bring it back up, even with a hardware failure.

Great show!

It would make me feel better about humanity if it were the same reason as the show.

Because a panel manages the postmaster, not the president, and there have to be very specific reasons for removal.

And now, DeJoy stepped down. He was not removed.

Now someone new was selected.

Personally I won’t even download it, I even deleted music ive had for years because the artist went maga. And let my daughter use the CD in some arts and crafts, because I can’t listen to it anymore.

That said, yeah, I’d prefer to download over buying if I didnt want the company or artist to get the money for it.

Its never a waste to do the right thing.

Since the recent UK court ruling is absolutely not applicable to this situation, and they’ve given no other reasoning for a decision being delayed on this matter, I don’t feel it would be reasonable for the comments to still be up.

100% agreed.

You first have to be aware that they exist (they are)

Agreed

then you have to be aware that a specific phrase is one

They were informed, yes. Whether they knew before or not isn’t known, but also irrelevant at this point.

you’d have to verify that the report is one

Negative. They are aware the phrase is a dogwhistle. The user realizing that or not is no longer relevant. Remove and notify of the reason.

and then decide what to do about it

Adhere to rule 1 of their instance.

Moderation does not have to be instant.

When the admin is on, available, responds, then stops responding but continues to make comments/posts… Question answered. They decided against moderating.

I don’t believe anyone said anything about “instant”. What was said was they went unresponsive.

I agree with you that a comment using that dogwhistle needs to be removed

It IS a dogwhistle.

Whether a user realizes that or not is irrelevant to moderation.

As in, was the delay at the time of the post reasonable.

Not remotely relevant at this point.

1. Admins were aware
2. Admins understand and agree its a dogwhistle
3. Admins chose not to address and stopped communicating while continuing to do other things on the instance.

Not “We’re figuring it out”, just… Radio silence.

No, sorry, not relevant at all.

I believe that they were still well within the range of an acceptable time frame for a policy decision on an unfamiliar dogwhistle.

Not without saying as much. And that has nothing to do with their reasoning - they agree its a dog whistle.

I’m not sure there is any nuance there.

Rule 1 for feddit.uk is explicitly against transphobia. The comment was transphobic and against the rules and should have been removed.

The UK Supreme Court ruling is, as you said, blatantly transphobic.

So they have two options:

• Adhere to their own rules
• Drop rule #1 and be OK with transphobic comments.

Regardless of the excuse (and I will not call it “reason”, because it is just an excuse at best IMO) the only option for blahaj would be to defederate. Feddit.uk has, in their lack of moderation of transphobic comments, chosen option 2.

At present, feddit.uk is totally cool with transphobia.

It would require that admin to explain their decision going against established policy

The first rule:

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or xenophobia

It would be entirely under that first rule to remove it. There is nothing to explain other than “Rule 1”.

So I will firmly disagree. This was not only a communication problem, but a complete lack of moderation by their own rules. There is no way to allow the comment without them changing the rule.

Leaving that comment up is and was implicit support for the comment by saying it was not against the rules.

There is only one part I don’t agree with…

.uk didn’t do anything wrong as an instance.

Inaction is also an action. I read that inaction as implicit support, regardless of any statements otherwise.

Such a wild time… I started building PCs for people (even my gym teacher), it was so fun - and yeah, such a huge jump every time!

Now I have the same build for nearly 15 years with upgrades along the way, and my servers are all decom’d t/m/m PCs.

Edit: Jump had a typo

Also Slackware!

But I skipped from my 286 to a Pentium 133 (then went a bit backwards to a 486 dx100, then ahead to some cyrix and AMD).

Thats about $500 I think? Seems pretty low for the typical ransom approach.

Maybe they charge $150/row for their storage services :)
