I have a good friend who's been going through this stuff. He's an adult, and he is married, but he still needs support, because he's not really fully able to function without some support.

The number of infantilizing remarks that he receives on a weekly basis is honestly shocking, and across the board they all come from people whose job it is to help him.

If your views are not compatible with the moderator or community's views and they keep getting removed, you are free to go and find a different instance.

Nobody's getting paid to work here, so the only people that do the work are the people who volunteer their time, and chances are if they're constantly exposed to the same stupid shit over and over again, they're gonna get grouchy, they're gonna get grumpy, and they're gonna just start blanket banning anything that even slightly aggravates them.

You can say it's power-tripping, and you can protest it when it's unequally applied to you. That's fair, But you just have to live with it because this is not a business, this is not a customer service oriented situation, this is a "make the community as comfortable as possible for as many people as possible while maintaining your sanity" position for the mods.

I am not a moderator. I would not do moderation tasks because I see how stressful it is. I am also not apologizing on their behalf or trying to sugarcoat the situation.

It sucks for you, getting your posts removed. It sucks for a lot of people not getting to interact with those posts, but it's a take what you can get sort of thing.

The good thing is, if you absolutely do not want your post to be removed, you are perfectly welcome to spin up your own lemmy instance and federate it and then share your post with the entire fediverse without any sort of moderation whatsoever.

Even with that though, the other instances of the Fediverse can defederate with you if they find your whole thing to just cause more headache and hassle than it's worth to them.

Because it's not about saving money. It's about taking federal money and putting it into the private sector

After the federal government disbands their own internal systems the private sector can ramp up the prices just like they do with every other consumer.

From what I remember, an atom was supposed to be the smallest possible indivisible unit of matter, Which being as that now we know that atoms are made of quarks shows that atoms have been improperly named.

Quarks seem to also be comprised of something else, possibly strings, possibly some sort of quantum something or another, so it's entirely possible that we haven't actually found the atom yet.

Like, I don't know how much that surgery costs if you get it done by a doctor, but like, if you're trans, and that's something you want to do, that is a hell of a deal.

One of the few times where correlation and causation are probably actually tied together.

Could you imagine if Brian Jacques had added six foot river otters into Redwall?

Me too, but I don't get an article written about me

Also, the distance from center of the rotation matters.

For instance, doing a bicep curl with a 10 pound weight with your elbow by your side is easy.

Holding that 10 pound weight with your arm straight and lifting it up to eye height is much more difficult, but for most people without impediments still doable.

Now imagine the difference in distance between the ball and heel of your foot versus the distance between your knee and your hip.

Sorry, your insurance doesn't cover that, so it would have to be out of pocket.

Bring a cashier's check for $7,400 to lunch and we'll take care of the rest! ❤️

I threw it in as a gimme or as a backup if they go AMD.

My real intent is to aim for the seventh gen intel processor or higher, as the intel quicksync encoders are better on the seventh generation than they are in the sixth gen.

That can help with encryption of files and decoding encrypted files for something like an opnsense box or wireguard.

And who knows, they might want to play around with some local AI stuff or jellyfin in the future.

I would recommend going for at least an Intel 7th gen or failing that some sort of computer that has an Nvidia GPU, 1050ti or better.

Those will help as you go further down the line with allowing some CUDA and Intel acceleration features and only adds a couple of dollars to the total cost of the system.
