I think in general it’s supposed to be about decentralisation, but god knows scammers will hop straight onto anything with “point-oh” in the name

Now, in a scenario where they are about to commit violence, or the justice system has failed, the balance may be different
Left your reading comprehension at home?
The argument I was supporting is that you don’t have carte blanche to do whatever you want to intolerant people. The argument I am making is that you have a moral obligation to rely on the law first because that IS the social contract. Not because the law would punish you for it.
Not all police are the same everywhere, but regardless, you can’t just stab people who are being racist.
But there’s an important difference between allowing intolerance, and letting the legal system be the arbiter of how it should be disallowed.
Vigilante justice not only deprives the perpetrator of their right to a fair trial and proportionate punishment (yes, being intolerant does not deprive you of your human rights) but also denies the victims their right to see the perpetrator receive justice.
YOU do not get to be the arbiter of justice, just because you think someone is a terrible person. Maybe they’re mentally ill. Maybe they have dementia. Maybe they’re also a victim of abuse.
Document the incident, protect and comfort the victim, contact the police and allow actual justice to take place.
Because in your scenario they are not a threat of imminent violence, and by being a vigilante you prevent society from enforcing consequences in the way the social contract defines - through the justice system.
Now, in a scenario where they are about to commit violence, or the justice system has failed, the balance may be different.
Ah yes, those well known non-radical fascists
You 🤝 Trump
Things I don’t like are fascism
Yeah it’s been like 3 years of this plus “but I like when the port is a circle, not an oval!” 😴
But all of those arguments are still valid, even if you make the assumption that it was all an evil scheme to make you buy some headphones
Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil
Oh they absolutely do, but ml has a reputation for being particularly poorly moderated
Too little, too late, though, in classic Congress style
The Myanmar Rohingya genocide was nearly a decade ago now, and we’re somehow still at the “asking Mark nicely to do a better job of moderation” step, somehow
I guess the police at least are able to order Facebook to remove it (sounds like that’s what happened) but then yeah, as you say, I expect they will have just escalated to the county/state police, if anything
Our system is fucking broken - too many people cannot get the care they need, or they go into debt to get it. It needs to be fixed.

HOW DARE YOU TREAT THIS COMMUNITY LIKE THIS
Not too scary - plus it goes splash all on its own!
This is a knife and fork burger if I’ve ever seen one
I, too, work in a similar type of company, and can confirm from experience that Linux can get just as absolutely fucked up by a bad kernel module as windows.
And it’s not just changes to the module that can cause things to go wrong.
For example, the kernel released alongside the latest Ubuntu LTS included a change that conflicted with our module behaviour, so machines with that kernel or newer would panic on boot.
It was a super minor change, but when you’re deep in the weeds, it’s really easy for these things to be brittle. But that’s just an inherent consequence of the fact that this sort of stuff is intrinsically low-level interaction with the OS itself.
It’s fun to just give them a little poke and see if they explode 🤷
I put my steel in the fridge and it’s completely dried out now
Granted, it wasn’t very wet when it went in
I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger
Lol
