I only hate smokers who smoke in the presence of others :)

(I’m european and I’m aware that includes a very large amount of people)

I think self harm is bad, not matter if you’re rich or poor :)

(also smokers make me smell their smoke)

I notice zero difference between preheated pizza and non-preheated pizza. What would the difference even be?

How are daily active users consistently decreasing while daily posts and comments are consistently increasing? Are fewer people participating more and more?

Because sexism is bad

Sometimes girls like dude stuff. But if trans women were the same as cis women, it’d be just as rare for trans women to like dude stuff as it is for cis women.

The only reason (that does not conflict with the idea of trans and cis women being equal) I see why that occurs is that perhaps trans women are indoctrinated to like dude stuff when they’re young, and that indoctrination remains even after transitioning.

But wouldn’t that oppose the idea of transgender? If a trans woman is a woman, wouldn’t they be more common in female dominated areas?

Eternity sometimes replaces a post’s thumbnail with that of a post further down the list.

Are there any performance benchmarks for the Star64?

Pine64 claims the chip to have performance similar to certain Cortex-A55 processors, which would put the Star64 on par with the Raspberry 4 series. Is that true?

why does my rent keep rising

Riot Games behaves terribly?

You seem to be missing my point.

This tool would not increase censorship.

Admins are already able to implement all censorship they want.

Admins are already able to block left-wing opinions, right-wing opinions, child porn, normal porn.

And that already happens.

Lots of instances (like feddit.de) block pornographic content.

Lots of instances (like lemmy.blahaj.zone) block right-wing content.

It is already possible, and it is already happening.

An AI which can detect CSAM (and potentially other content) won’t change that. It will simply make the admins’ job easier.

I don’t know how you get the impression that this increases censorship.

Instance admin already manually block content. And they are already able to do that to any extend they wish to do.

This tool would simply automate that process.

Admins would not gain or lose any ability to block content. Identifying child porn would simply be easier.

(Imagine an admin going to their database and doing a CTRL+F with the term “child porn”, and then going through the posts to find offending ones. But instead of CTRL+F it’s an AI.)

(For some reason I don’t get a notification when you answer my comment. Is that a known issue? Did you block me or something?)

That’s not the point. Yes, child porn sites can host child porn. Other sites/instances can’t stop that. But what other instances can stop, is redistributing said child porn. And for that purpose, such technology would be useful.

You moved the period in the wrong direction. It’s 0.034462%.

Governments like the EU do not just regulate to gain power. No need to spread disinformation just so you can be more pessimistic.

What is “terf is not a slur” about? Am I out of the loop?

Wouldn’t finding an nb person attractive be hetero attraction? Since they’re of a different gender?

I use NixOS on my main PC.

If you want to use NixOS, you have to be willing to read.

Two things are especially difficult:

Coding: You will have to learn the Nix-specific way for everything you do. How does Nodejs work in NixOS? How does GCC work in NixOS? How does my IDE work in NixOS?

Using unofficial packages: The nix repos are very large and you’ll most likely find everything you need there (or on flatpak/flathub). But if something isn’t there, the easiest way tends to be packaging it as a nix package yourself. And that’s something many people probably don’t want to do.

The coding thing is annoying enough that I may switch away from NixOS at some point.

Other than that, NixOS is great.

For most users pretty GUIs are far more important than the latest security updates. (And even if they weren’t, Fedora offers both.)
