I think the fact that there is a variety of opinions being posted, compared to the censorship I witnessed on Reddit, is the more mature situation. If anyone is being childish, it's those who feel the need to censor opposing ideologies. Feeling free to post and discuss differing views has a lot of value. I am assuming by your use of "commie" that you'd rather dismiss an entire ideology and group of supporters outright rather than on any real grounds.

Why do you say that? The website is a little ugly in parts (the colored text bulleted list near the bottom) but it doesn't look "sketch" at all.

And if you can get past some poorly designed home page for a project, they publish the source with supposedly 101 contributors.

It should be blocked in schools. Not only for the same reason as above, that they're state networks, but also that there is less than zero reason a student should be accessing TikTok at school (they're going to anyway--they'll just turn off WiFi).

Are all colleges in Texas state colleges? I don't think so. And, even so: once again, it's a state network. Students shouldn't be allowed to put TikTok on the state network. If they're a communications student, turn off WiFi, go to a coffee shop, etc. Convenience is not an excuse to lower security standards.

Wow. What a horrific grift. If they had built 100% effective devices, it'd still be a grift. But this is just....disgusting honestly. They're stealing money from already underfunded school systems, and giving a false sense of security where there appears to be absolutely none. These don't look effective in the least, against anything really. I guess they plan on the shooter being someone who walks on the ceiling, because the only angle these things look to have any chance to protect someone from is from directly overhead.

It seems like a "joke" (a sick one, but one not meant to be taken 100% literally) image. There is absolutely no way anyone would truly think that is useful. Even if it was super thick and effective, it doesn't even cover a whole child. It can also just be kicked aside. There's no way this isn't meant as an exaggerated image just meant to bring attention to a real situation.

Al-Jazeera is an "actual news source". It's also just a visualization of data directly from the UN HRC vote.

This should have been a link to the Al-Jazeera article itself instead of just the image that came from it though.

Hmm good point. I guess it is optional though so on the client end you can probably avoid sending anything (or just spoof as "web" at worst).

If you host a federated instance you can see all votes. Some platforms display votes in the UI (kbin I thought? by hovering over the vote button or score). I figure it's only a matter of time before someone puts up a website to just see people's votes.

Gotta keep in mind this is a ban on ‘state devices and networks.’

Yea in this case I think it's entirely reasonable. I don't think any (Ad)Tech software should be allowed on state devices or networks. It's a security concern whether it's a company in the USA or a foreign company gathering every ounce of data it can hoover up.

How is session type made available in the federation? I wasn't aware that was shared on the protocol.

Only your instance knows your IP and what links you visited. But everyone can see your votes.

Literal lasting psychological trauma from it. And it's normalized.

You're right. The USA has plenty of wealth and resources and just chooses to let its people starve rather than helping them. Those other countries don't have that luxury.

For the "schedule expression" (the * * * * * part), try https://crontab.guru/. Some distributions have shortcut expressions like @hourly or @daily so you don't have to type * */1 * * * etc.

The crontab generally has a header that shows the columns, but if not, they're: m h dom mon dow command.

From * * * * * /usr/bin/sct 2750 I'm guessing you want to run every minute. If that's the case, as another commented pointed out, try */1 * * * * /usr/bin/sct 2750, meaning every 1 minute.

I have plenty of times plenty of other places. I don't feel like repeating that to someone who's pulling this "I speak for everyone here, ..." nonsense. That alone I felt should be called out.

There are myriad other opinions than the ones you hold. People are varied in their beliefs. You don't speak for everyone. Generally you can't even confidently say you speak for the majority. You can only speak for yourself, and that's all you should do. Attempting to prop up or elevate your personal views by couching them in a fake "look everyone shares my view" is just dishonest.

People aren’t going hungry in capitalist countries.

Are you kidding? People go hungry constantly in capitalist countries, it's just perhaps people you are told not to care about.

• Homeless people routinely go hungry.
• Disabled people routinely go hungry.
• Low-income people routinely go hungry.
• With the sociopathic demonization of free lunch programs for kids in schools, children routinely go hungry.

Food bank usage has soared, which doesn't solve the problem, but simply temporarily alleviates it for those who have access to food banks. Many places don't have food banks accessible, and if you don't have transportation, getting to the nearest is not always feasible.

I have first-hand experience of going hungry, being in a capitalist country. To pretend it doesn't happen is to be blind and ignorant.

How'd you get the pass to talk for everyone?

We the public

We all

Ben Wallace does not speak for the vast majority of us, neither do his colleagues in the rest of the party of “me”.

Ah I see, Ben Wallace doesn't speak for us because you do. Got it.

This is really obnoxious behavior to think that you speak for everyone; to assume everyone has the same beliefs you do.

The entire war on drugs is a racist endeavour that has created racist drug laws.

"You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Capitalism sure is efficient at exploiting externalities. SpaceX gets to ignore the difficulty and cost of stopping radiation pollution. The cost gets externalised to research institutions, academic researchers, government agencies (and so indirectly the taxpayer), and other corporations. Whereas it might cost $X for SpaceX to not cause the problem in the first place, it might cost $10X or $50X or more when everyone else has to duplicate cost and effort to overcome SpaceX's pollution.
