In Canada, they have an idea called “right to peace”. It means that you can’t stand outside of an abortion clinic and scream at people because your right to free speech doesn’t exceed that person’s right to peace.
I don’t know if that’s 100% how it works so someone can sort me out, but I kind of liked that idea

I think from context we can assume in favor of. I don’t think anyone is accusing Reddit of masterminding the Gaza conflict. I haven’t been to /r/conspiracy in a while through.

It’s been a far right echo chamber for about ten years now, so I don’t know that this holds up.
- Comment on Joe Biden Wants US Government Algorithms Tested for Potential Harm Against Citizens 1 year ago:
You might be interested in data.gov. The Obama admin kicked of the Government Open Data Initiative to provide transparency in government. Agencies have been given a means to publish their data, which US taxes pay for. You’d be surprised what’s in there. It’s not an algorithm, but you could certainly build one from that if you wanted to.

I use a Windows box for gaming, and Linux for the main workhorse. I’ve got a pihole on the network that handles most outgoing traffic.

Weird. I’m not using it because of the Microsoft name. I can’t help but think that it’ll go through all of my files and privacy and narc on me to the feds for my abandonware games. Pass
- Comment on AP News: Hundreds of flying taxis to be made in Ohio, home of the Wright brothers and astronaut legends 1 year ago:
I’m making this claim based on the Wright Bros exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and space museum…
One of the genius things that they did was invent scaled testing (I’m not 100% sure I can make this claim, but I’d be happy to learn it I was wrong). Rather than building the device and testing it, which killed a lot of people through history, they built miniature components and tested them individually to prove concepts, and THEN built their production version in iterations.
Like, to test airfoil designs, they built a table top sized wind tunnel, put a miniature airfoil in, and evaluated its performance, and made determinations for the final product. This SIGNIFICANTLY lowered design costs and prototyping at the time.
This also happened to result in an airplane.
- Comment on Elon Musk and company take @x handle from its original user. He got zero dollars for it. 1 year ago:
Man…
I was pretty bummed when I heard that Twitter was going to die. There are some cool moments in history that happened on Twitter. It was a hell of a ride, but the writing was on the wall well before Elon bought it. It was time to go.
But not like this.
It deserved a good death. Not to have it’s corpse raped on full display over and over.
A lot of very talented people committed so much time and energy to this. When it launched, it was a novel idea and they really forged some roads in our understanding of how we communicate and receive information.
It was clear at the end that it would never produce the kind of ROI on advertising to make investors happy, and that Nazis had clearly taken over the platform and used it to bastardize journalism further. It was time to go to pasture.
But not like this.
Hopefully its mutilated, humiliated and desiccated corpse will feed the growth of the federated web.
I hope you find peace, sweet prince.
