If a "truth era" did exist, it was definitely before the current era of "math and acronyms are racist" and "men can get pregnant".

This is true, I agree. Reddit is heavily moderated in both.

Yes! Reddit has this exact same feature.

HN is much more heavily moderated than those websites.

This couldn't be further from the truth. Reddit is orders of magnitude more heavily moderated than HN. Your average run of the mill subreddit has more moderators than the entirety of HN.

Which is a good thing, it's why conversations here tend to be of a higher quality.

I think the conversations here are higher because of the userbase, not dang's moderation. The site doesn't lend itself to the toxic userbase that reddit and tumblr has.

I don't think the HN style of moderation would scale to places like Reddit even if they wanted it.

There are subreddits with more scale than HN, with more moderation. Scale is definitely not an issue.

Relative to other large social media sites (reddit, Tumblr, Twitter pre-Elon, etc.) HN is a bastion of free speech. Reddit being possibly the least free of them all.

Unfortunately the Mastodon instance that Oxide decided on is flooded with leftist activists and SJW types. One of the rules is a leftist shibboleth, "no colonialism".

That rule makes no sense in the context of a social media site.

Seethe.

Still thinking about this.

We know. Facts don't care about your feelings. Cope.

You're living rent free in my head!!!!!

Soydev max cope.

Cope.

Thanks for agreeing it's therapeutic. Rent free. I won.

I think the fact

That's not a fact, it's a delusion you just invented.

that a pro-gun target shooter wouldn't seek real therapy

Shooting is real therapy. It's therapeutic.

is sad since they're a danger to themselves :(

Everyone is a danger to themselves.

Imagine all the therapy they could have gotten with the money they wasted on guns!

Expendable income and health insurance are two completely different buckets of money.

Three times in a row you've played yourself. You're batting like the Washington Nationals.

I personally think therapy is great and will help gun owners protect themselves from the greatest threat they face, which is their mental health!

"I personally think therapy (shooting targets) is great and will help gun owners protect themselves from the greatest threat they face, which is their mental health (greatest threat all Americans face)!"

Imagine posting exactly what a pro-gun target shooter would post and think it's snark. Congrats, you just played yourself again. Thanks for agreeing.

Gun owners don't need more guns, they need therapy!

(This post is hilarious since gun owners frequently call shooting "therapy". Many gun owners would unironically say/type this exact same comment. Congrats, you played yourself.)

WHOOSH

This is a selfawarewolves-tier post.

Absolutely - the shooting themselves aspect of guns against "taking them away" is far outweighed by the risk of violent crime.

I wish the suicide rate was factored more into conversations about taking guns away due to "violent crime".

An aspect that no one here has mentioned but absolutely is a major reason:

Tech teams are littered with chronically online SJWs. When something as innocuous as an email about Domain Driven Design [0] can quickly go off the rails and be derided as misogynistic, it's tough to communicate. Executives are not used to dealing with groups that have such thin skin. You constantly have to walk on eggshells around tech teams, and even then something/anything may still trigger them.

Milspec, lol.

Yes, MilSpec [0].

Doesn't that normally equal as cheap as they can get away with?

No, wrong. You're thinking of "military grade", which is effectively meaningless as a term.

There is a high-density thread sealing PTFE tape that works a bit better than the el' cheapo generic white stuff

This is what I was alluding to. It's thicker and denser.

EDIT: Unless the package has MIL-T-27730 on the tape, labeling it milspec has no meaning.

This is where you're wrong. Milspec has a specific meaning [0]. The milspec in question is Military Spec # A-A-58092 [1].

This article sucks. Lots of bad info from an inexperienced plumber.

How the US military, nuclear power plants, and plumbers worth their weight in salt do fittings: 3-4 times around the (male) fitting with PTFE tape, then a light amount of pipe dope on top of the PTFE tape.

Also, DO NOT buy the cheap PTFE tape as suggest. Buy the milspec tape. Your big box store will have both and you'll know where that money (a couple dollars at most) went.

Most burbs or the rural areas are like this. Not the cities which in my experience is all about me me me.

“Latine” and “Latin@” (and similar constructions for other -o/-a words) are not unheard of in some actual Latin American countries, though.

"Latrine", " Latin@", and "Latinx" are almost entirely unheard of in actual Latin American countries, though.

The Association of Academies of the Spanish Language is the governing body that defines what official Spanish is. If you can find a single academy that lists "Latinx" or "Latin@" as official Spanish, I'll eat my hat.

These neologisms are nothing more than US leftist linguistic imperialism.

I don't use Apple products so I can't help you there. I assume it's doing some networking madness to expose a Linux VM through a bridge or something similar.

Containers run nearly identical to native performance and best VMs in practically every category.

In what way are they slow?

Saving a click: this is with IBM Telum processors that use the z/Architecture instruction set (versus x86-64).

Lots of people have been banned from platforms, rightly or wrongly. You can't get banned from email. You can't get banned from having your own website. You can't get banned from the telephone system. If you don't own your own data, you are at the mercy of those who do.

If there's anything to be learned from the KiwiFarms saga, it's that these statements are no longer true.

But they're typically not fortifications by definition.

A foxhole isn't necessarily a fixed fortification though.

As others have mentioned, eBPF is quite neat software, but it's observability in an of itself is quite difficult. It's hard to understand WHAT eBPF programs are loaded, and what they're doing. Supposedly Android has a dozen or two eBPF programs running at anytime. Is Ubuntu on my laptop running a similar batch? I have no clue, and many of us here probably wouldn't know where to look either without some Googling.

I think you're only half wrong here. The difference is that you can piss off people outside of your own crowd without much consequence, but if you seek to offend them, they kick you out. There's definitely (a lot of) pissing off lefties going on in Parler, Truth Social, etc. for what it's worth. And I really don't see people on the right getting the same sort of kicks out of virtue signaling (AKA pissing right wing people off) that people on the left seem to enjoy. As you sort of pointed out, they're annoying in different ways. ;)

Again, we can both play these games. You original presumption:

My observation is that the modern right wing social media user only thrives when there are 'liberal snowflakes' around that they can piss off.

Remember, one of the major reasons behind Truth Social, Parler, etc. failing to gain user share is the fact that their respective apps were banned from Google/Apple stores.

At the end if the day, both extremes, left and right, need an enemy to point at and rally over. They are different sides of the same coin.
