I think this is the real takeaway from this post. Someone bought this thing.

This whole thread is pretty hilarious to me. When ever I hear the word "degenerate" I am generally expecting it to be during the intro to a Twisted Sister video.

edit: Also, we're talking about labeling CSAM spreaders as degenerates. Pick all of the bad words. I don't fucking care which ones, and I literally will not give a single, tiny little pea-sized shit about applying to those that traffic in CSAM.

This is kinda a major problem with lemmy, and the idea that they don't have CSAM detection on the roadmap is going to make wide adoption a near impossibility. The other thing though is that even automated CSAM detection isn't 100%, so hosting your own instance likely means you're going to have to view CSAM and other fucked up shit at some point to properly moderate it, even if you're just hosting for yourself. Tbh I was strongly considering hosting my own instance because it's not like, that hard/expensive, but this saga has turned me completely off of that idea, even just for myself.

This actually makes me wonder how much reddit mods deal with this type of thing instead of paid employees like facebook, which has a paid army dealing with content moderation on facebook. Oh, and talking about xitter now which has neither volunteer mods and no moderation team since Elon fired them all, I assume that the freaks have just decided that's their hosting platform of choice.

Mine is all for phone cases. How do I get the ads for drugs?

"somewhat" is doing a lot of work here. I mean, they didn't re-write the kernel, but you can google example of the UI pre and post iPhone announcement.

The timeline is technically correct but misleading, and please google what Android looked like prior to the iPhone announcement. While you're there, might also want to check out the technical differences like iPhone prioritizing things like animation and user interaction. Wouldn't also hurt to check out the first, say, 1-4 Android devices compared to literally just the first iPhone and tell us which one our phones look like today. Also, do we think that Apple was just like "here's a new OS we made over winter break?" They announced in '06. Android was developed probably at a similar time, bought by Google, and then had to pivot hard after iPhone announcement, and harder still after hardware actually got into customer hands.

Just about every invention is obvious in hindsight. Take a look at what Android looked like pre-iPhone announcement and then post.

1000% these people wishing for a king have a "don't tread on me" flag.

"I showed up to the potluck with nothing even though I was told that I needed to bring something and expected to get the same things that everyone who brought something did, AiTA?"

No one is going to spend 40 years in jail for Trump

I mean, the dumb ones might...

This is a stupid question maybe, but how does a real-estate crash topple anything?

...with the understanding that It's often grounds for termination in which you won't even get unemployment unless OT is specifically spelled out in your contract this way. The term in these cases for "no" in which you're not being asked to break laws/regulation/contract, is usually "insubordination." Oh and company policy, though even that's sketch because company policy is sometimes dumb as shit so it will occasionally get overridden.

I'm not a bootlicker, join a union if you can, know your contract and don't do an iota more than what's required unless you gain a benefit from it, but always be wary of advice like "tell your boss to go fuck themselves!"

Every anecdote (or honestly, just listening to him for five seconds) indicates he's very dumb, which is only made more dangerous by the fact that he's been wealthy his entire life and never faced actual consequences. Reports are he's terrified at the prospect of jail. For regular people, jail takes a massive adjustment. For Trump, he's probably never been told he can't do a thing he wants (until the presidency, and even then he often just did it anyway) and has never really had to suffer anything as a result of his actions because rich people are incredibly insulated from normie shit like consequences, so yeah, very really chance if he's sentenced he literally just combusts. It'll be like trying to get a robot to believe a paradox.

Indeed. And consider - if you're a right wing loon, what does killing twitter really do? Especially what does twitter do that it's worth blowing 44 billies to kill it?

Honestly, this is a pretty clear case where federation should win out. I answered someone above, but governments using a private service like twitter for actual public announcements imo is broken. I hope that Mastodon and federated services take off and turn into a turnkey style service somewhere. Like, setting up your own Mastodon (or Lemmy!) instance I hope turns into something just about as easy as setting up an email account.

I wasn't a heavy poster on Twitter, but I was a heavy user. Unlike the Lemmy/Reddit model, it's much more real time. So when I wanted to see how things were going with a piece of news of any sort, basically, twitter was better at that.

Its also much more person centered - you curate specifically a list of who you want to follow rather than just topics, so there could often be crossover. Usually for me, this meant I'd listen to some podcast or something for a while, figure out I like the host and their personality or often just taste, and then follow them. The added benefit being that most people I'd follow on twitter weren't so big that if you tweet at them and you're not an asshole, you'll get a response.

Auto-correct. It's fixed.

I worry a little about it, but I don't lose too much sleep because in order to actually make anything on computers you end up in more open systems. Apple seemed to want to go hard down that path in the early/mid 2010's with macOS, but even they've backed off and instead started opening more of iOS if only basically (file manager, for example.) Apple is generally the canary in the coal mine for computing trends in general. On the Windows side, they actually added the Linux subsystem thing, which was something you could have told me in 2010 and I would have assumed you were having some sort of stroke. And then there is the simple fact that Linux exists, and I can't see that changing any time soon...

It's not really exaggerated and it's probably worse now. This is why it took so long for iPhones to even support the concept of a file manager; most people just do not get it no matter how much you explain it. I have three kids in school, from grade school to high school, and the concept of files is just... not a thing? Basically everything is in Google Docs or through some web communication type of thing. Email is all through Gmail or similar, and the idea of downloading a file or even just organizing it in Google Docs is not a thing they do. They've grown up with near instant search, and for most people that's going to suffice. I grew up on DOS and then later Linux and such in high school, and even I eschew much folder structure more than a level or two deep (though my naming conventions for files has improved significantly) outside of programming projects.

That said, both of my two youngest kids followed the same path that you can probably find through most of the software industry, and though it's not my day job, me as well. And that's wanting the computer to play a game or similar, and then having to learn this thing. Minecraft has probably done more for the next generation of software engineering than any coding class or high school program. Both my gaming boys are totally comfortable moving around the file system. The youngest (10) is absolutely obsessed with modding, so he started by changing some params in an XML or JSON file or whatevs to now very nearly writing his own code. He publishes mods every now and then, which are more generally patches on existing, and I'm guessing within the next year or so, he'll be writing from scratch.

eh, even growing up through the '90s where typing class was a thing, there were very clearly some people that got it and most did not.

These days, kids primary input device is probably a phone. I will out Mavis Beacon any of my kids, but the teens can damn near keep up on a touchscreen.
