Imagine how I feel right now, I bought 16 used 20tb Seagate drives around September last year for $200 each, from Amazon, and finally built my dream NAS after a decade of waiting and planning. I don’t understand how I got so lucky but I did. They’re all working just fine, and I somehow avoided having to wait another decade to finally build my NAS due to random capitalism gold rush bullshit. Praise be.

Nah you got banned for a reason, you suck at discussing anything of value and have unhinged takes and total lack of respect for others as well. I would continue to probe your mind to try and understand how you expect to reconcile having anonymity online to post whatever the fuck you want, with killing people who post CSAM online… Even though they’d be anonymous and free to post whatever they like because we somehow skipped content moderation and went straight for firing squad… But I think the ban you earned speaks for itself.

Ok so you’re just absolutely unhinged, got it. How old are you? You’re against airplanes in a very black-and-white way. Millions of people use airplanes daily, you know? I just happened to be boarding my plane back home when I saw this brainrot post. You know nothing else about me other than I was boarding a plane while typing this, so you’re way too quick to jump to conclusions about people, which is… Immature. Greta’s decisions regarding travel are commendable, but not everybody is able to spend money and time opting for boats instead of airplanes.

As for the rest of your comment… Who tf said anything about killing anyone??? If you cannot agree on a simple concept such as moderation in the context of an online platform, then you have no place questioning the way this or any platform works, at least not without sitting down and learning about online platforms, or basic human decency, first. Extremist & childish tales such as “we kill all the offenders” is exactly how we’re in this mess of a worldwide situation to begin with, not to mention it’s such a tangential answer to my very straightforward question of, what do you do about people posting things nobody should post, while not knowing who posted it and not being able to prevent them from doing it again, all in the name of privacy or freedom of speech. TOR is a great tool for very specific people, that happens to also facilitate lots of nasty shit online. There’s enough nasty shit on Tor, or on unmoderated niche sites. We don’t want the bad rep from potentially allowing CSAM into a social network looking to bring in new people into it. Lack of moderation is exactly how you end up killing a platform… But I don’t think you want to listen to reason on this.

What I need to understand is how you envision a 0-censorship community working when there’s content that should at all times be censored, like CSAM. I don’t hear solutions to these cases, or even an acknowledgement that not all content should be protected from any sort of moderation, just complaints about content being moderated at all. Furthermore, you keep accusing everyone of arguing in bad faith but we’re all just saying the normal shit every other Lemmy user knows about Lemmy and ActivityPub.

And if I missed some point of yours, which seems like you think most of us are, blame it on laziness or smith, I’m boarding a plane and can’t be bothered

We meet again! I’m Honduran. The Zelaya family is knee-deep in shit due to the ex-president’s brother being outed as having made deals with drug Lords, heavily implying the Zelaya family is in the drug business, which surprises absolutely nobody because that’s been their history for decades, and because we’ve been a “narco estado” for far too long. There’s no right wing or left wing bullshit here, it’s all a fight for control of a drug state. If anything, this has actually hurt the left’s appearance to the people after over a decade of not having them in the spotlight. Castro has done more to damage the left wing movement than she has done to advance it.

We voted the right wing drug lord out of the country and into extradition, you bet your ass we’ll do our best to try and do the same to the left wing drug lord.

First post about Honduras I see on Lemmy. I’m from Honduras. Castro is the first left-wing president since her husband was sacked in the 2009 Coup. The two elected presidents since then have all been right wing and have all been involved in drug trafficking and corruption scandals, with the last one, Juan Orlando Hernandez, having been extradited and sentenced in the US over serious drug trafficking charges. His presidency is remembered as a “narco-estado”. During this time, he got reelected, which was previously unconstitutional and which also was the foundational reason for the 2009 Coup: Castro’s Husband, Manuel Zelaya, sought to hold a referendum to rewrite parts of the constitution, with critics of his government as well as a general majority of the populace believing that he sought to write in the ability to run for reelection. Juan Orlando achieved this by simply replacing the supreme court with his picks, and the court approved the legality of reelections during his time. A tiny little detail about the 2009 Coup: just a month before the coup, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Honduras in an official context. It is speculated by some that she gave green light on behalf of the US for the coup to occur.

All this to say, we have a bittersweet relationship with the US. I’m personally absolutely not a fan of the US, but without extradition, Juan Orlando and many of his accomplices would have remained free and immune from justice. Castro’s presidency was essentially a vote from the people to bring down justice on Juan Orlando, so we view his extradition as the best thing to have happened in this situation. Naturally, we are not reacting that well to this news now that Castro and her family might receive the same treatment as Orlando: The Zelaya family has a long history of drug trafficking, and Manuel Zelayas father was directly involved in a massacre at the Zelaya estate. Her presidency is currently plagued by nepotism in all levels of government, chaos and disarray throughout the legislative branch as parties fight among themselves for power over congress, and recurring cries from Castro herself to follow on the footsteps of Venezuela specifically, which we all can currently see how that’s going for them.

I guess I’m just saying that there’s no right calls when it comes to Honduran governments. It’s all corruption all the way down.

What relevance does Linux have in this specific context? Does Linux have a marketing team? Does Linux compete on a hardware level with Apple? Is there a Linux corp we haven’t heard about that’s working with some chip manufacturer we also haven’t heard about in order to create ARM processors that can compete with Apple silicon? No? Maybe don’t shoehorn Linux into everything regardless of relevance, especially not in such a lane way.

As a non-American, I always saw the “freedom fries” thing as a mockery of Americanism, I’m having a hard time believing this was a non-satirical idea.

If data structures weren’t working with MSVC, you’re probably working with non-portable code in the first place. Don’t assume an int is 32 bits long!

Oh absolutely! I was starting out during this time, and started using memcpy for a uni project, hardcoding byte sizes to what I assumed long’s size was, instead of checking or using standardized data types (because I didn’t even know they existed). The result was such a mess, exacerbated by the good ol “let’s write it all in one go and run it when we’re done”. Boy did I suffer in that class.

I haven’t touched compilers in a while, but I was a dirty little MS pig boy back in college. Qt with MSVC just made sense for me, with the single exception of non standard byte lengths for longs (almost cost me a class due to not using std uints, totally my bad but you don’t really expect compilers to understand basic data types differently).

The true shitfuckassface experience for me was ICC. Stupid little pig boy decided he wanted his Qt working with ICC, due to all dem optimizations for Intel CPUs. After hours of debugging nonsense errors and janking my way through Qt code which was way above my head, I finally got a Qt build, only to have ICC find thousands of completely removed errors in a project where no other compiler would find errors.

Yeah that was the day I stopped caring for C++, stopped licking intel’s ass, and started getting ever so slightly radicalized due to the lies of the republic.

Murica is the world, duh
