  • in many cases when people bring up boy's or men's issues they will only do so while simultaneously attacking feminist talking points.

    This is very much a talking point by "only girls can have issues" people.

    "Men don't have issues, men's rights groups only exist to spread misogyny!"

    That is a key point of why the idea that men's issues are not taken seriously is spreading, because simply talking about / focusing on men's issues quickly gets people labled as misogynists.

    This both gets people to stop caring about the idea of misogynism, because "apparently simply talking about men's issues is misogyny", and thereby also pushes people to develop more problematic views.

  • The web installer is pretty simple.

    It may seem intimidating because they're being super cautious. (Stuff like "You should avoid using a USB hub" is bordering paranoia.) But that's not because they need to be cautious. The GrapheneOS installer is very safe. The reason they're being so cautious is because they want to be more than 99% sure it works.

    If something goes wrong, like you use the wrong browser or fail to install the driver/package, it won't break your phone; the install just stops and you can try again.

    The one thing that may break something is if during install the cable gets disconnected or the power goes out. That's unlikely by itself, but even if it does happen, you phone will most likely be fine.

  • What do I have no personal experience with? Slavery? Or Americans? Or white-controlled media? Or racism?

    What personal experience would you say I'd need so I could make the claim that "the jewish-controlled media is trying to sway people away from democracy" is a problematic statement?

    (By the way good job moving away from the topic and moving to baseless attacks against me.)

  • Pointing out racial disparities is not racism.

    Depends on the context. Just like the "jewish-controlled media" (when talking about e.g. the new yorker) would have an implication, the "white-controlled media" has an implication, too.

    This information can be presented independently, but you have to wonder why this disconnceted information is brought in multiple times in just the opening of the article.

    a boogeyman, CRT!

    I'm not American. Private slave ownership never existed in my country. (The term "race" when referring to a group of humans, however, is very ill-regarded.)

  • What's the point of pointing out that a lot of media is controlled by white people?

    "Haha random fun fact did you know that the CEO's skin is pretty bright?" Why not talk about the CEO's hair colour? Because the point is not a random fun fact, the point is racism.

    morals are not incompatible with capitalism

    I never claimed they were. You can limit capitalism by enforcing morals through laws. But that's not a part of capitalism. It is a limit imposed on the natural imorality that comes with capitalism.

    (By the way: I'm not anti capitalism, even if my tone may make it seem that way. I'm just focusing on this perhaps negative component of capitalism because it's relevant to the topic.)

  • The wording implies that the heads of big media groups being white has (significant) impact on "the media [...] choosing ratings over democracy".

    Corporations choosing profits above moral considerations is a significant component of capitalism. If a CEO chooses moral over profits they're a terrible CEO and will be replaced immediately.

    So the author is taking a core component of capitalism (choosing profits over morals) and claims that it only exists because of the colour of skin of people in higher-up positions.

    That's racist.

    They take something negative (choosing profits) and blame it on people with a certain attribute (white skin), while that attribute has nothing to do with the negative.

  • 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?)

  • A. If you want to hop you can already just create a new account. What's the issue with taking ownership of your posts with you?

    B. Just migrate the salt, too. A server can have per-user salts, which may be migrated together with the hash.

    C. If you already have control over someone else's account, what additional benefit does migrating serve?

  • I'd be like "Oh boy let me get redirected to lots of useful answers to my question next time too".

    I don't understand why you would frame that as being "slapped". Does having your question marked as a duplicate hurt your feelings?

  • 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.

  • Decadent lifestile compared to the people whose products you buy because you "can't afford" to pay people in your own country.

    Guess why products produced in your own country cost so much? Because the workers there get paid lots of money (when compared to the rest of the world).

  • You do realize products somewhere else aren't magically cheaper? That the transport actually adds to the cost?

    The reason these products are cheaper is because you rely to abusing others.

    And no, abuse of others is not necessary. But yes, you would not be able to live as decadent of a lifestyle if you had to have even close to as little wealth as the people whose poverty you abuse.
