Can you provide some links?

Yet another reason to continue using public transport and my ebike rather than buy a car. I realize not everyone has the means to do this, but if you do, then it’s the better option.

If you don’t like it, no one is forcing you to use those apps and services.

I go out of my way to avoid apps that harvest data, and as a result my life is much more difficult. It’s a lot of work to stay on top of it, and there is still a lot of data that gets harvested anyways. It’s impossible for the average user to do what you’re telling us to do.

OP may have posted it to this mag instead of another one by mistake

It’s a pain to constantly have to reboot to switch between them, you have less disk space, and Windows will sometimes interfere with the Linux installation. Plus there isn’t enough things I can’t do in Linux, that I can in Windows to justify it.

also i highly recommend at least dual booting linux

Dual booting is a pain in the ass though.

Thanks for sharing this!

I would really like some kind of augmented reality device that adds an RPG like interface to real life. Especially some kind of quest management system to keep track of tasks and display my current objective to the side. This combined with an xp system could help me gamify tasks at least to tha point of being bearable. Meters for vitals would also come in handy as I often forget to eat and drink, but I don’t have this issue when playing survival games for some reason.

Right now the thing with boosts is unintended behavior, the only reason that it’s not getting fixed yet is there are a lot more urgent things to be done, like preventing the servers from crashing and burning under the new load. Also please consider buying ernest a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

It’s not intended behavior, it just isn’t getting fixed yet because ernest is still trying to fix the stability issues, which is a much higher priority. In the meantime, consider buying ernest a coffee, he could really use it. The link for that is here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

I never said that only left wing perspectives belong here, I only said bigotry shouldn’t be allowed. You can be conservative without being a bigot. And no, I’m not going to hear someone out if they think I shouldn’t be allowed to have any rights. I am a human being, and I deserve to be treated like one.

There is no such thing as polite bigotry and it isn’t as agnostic as you make it out to be. Bigotry at its core is the belief that certain groups of people don’t deserve their human rights because of traits that can’t be changed. I also never said I advocated for banning all or even most value systems that don’t align with mine. I don’t care what others do as long as they aren’t forcing their beliefs upon others, advocating for the oppression of others, or otherwise cause harm. If you treat bigotry as a valid belief, you let it get a foothold. Once a significant number of bigots get into positions of power, they start to oppress people. Now lets say just for the sake of argument that it can be tolerated to an extent, I still shouldn’t have to be exposed to it on a daily basis. I try to understand things from other peoples perspective, but I will not emphasize with those who consider me inferior and undeserving of my human rights.

I don’t care about the morality of their speech as long as it’s courteous and friendly

The thing is, I do. If someone advocates for limiting my rights because of something I can’t change, I don’t care how nice their tone is, they are still a bigot.

How would you define hate?

I think most admins are just going to be focusing on actual hate groups, not tone policing. Most people are generally going to be tolerant of mistakes and misconceptions. As for how it should be defined, I have some ideas; don’t use slurs or make derogatory statements against a group of people, don’t promote fascism or nazism, don’t spread conspiracy theories about certain groups of people, no excusing human rights abuses or denial of it where there is clear evidence. Some examples would be using the N word, saying all or most LGBT+ people are pedophiles or are accepting of it, excusing Putin’s behavior, Holocaust denial, and accusing Jewish people of having deadly space lasers. Regarding slurs, I support oppressed people reclaiming them, but general use of them needs to be restricted.

An agreement like OP is describing is entirely limited to admins who collectively choose to defederate or block problematic instances, but it isn’t truly enforceable. The best thing you could do is maintain a site that lists instances that agree to a set of rules like this and actively enforces them.
