Russophobic nazi supremacism still kosher though.

I've noticed that pro-Israel Germans are usually not that much against Russia.

Guilt Pride

Thank you for this term.

Better than what the headline seems though.

The description reads almost like malicious compliance.

Still. There are people advocating for similar measures against statements not as normal as the listed.

I hope these people can see how their wishes being fulfilled might lead to similar regrettable results. It's better not to walk the preceding steps.

One set of basics a decent human being should always remember - "I am not wise, I am not righteous, and I don't know what is right and what is wrong, I can only try not to multiply evil and to avoid lying to myself and others, and when I make a decision, I know it'll harm people".

In combat conditions Pi can reach 4 and E can reach 3. Maul halten und weiter dienen, all that.

OK. I might be thinking too much into this, but the metric system is good for practical use, but bad for didactic purposes. Some things which could use understanding are "automated" with the metric system.

So making Pi a variable is ... fine. Maybe it's some different geometry where it is.

Normies have learned a few buzzwords.

WTF I just read.

Especially their statement that they could not reconcile moderation with free speech,

The way I'd reconcile them would be when everyone can override moderation for what they themselves want to see, but without that the common default is applied.

That would be what we'd see in Fediverse projects if people were acting in good faith, too.

I dunno, somehow the best approaches I can imagine are those that existed in Usenet before it went out of use for discussions. Except for news servers having to store too much, and for spam protection happening after it gets posted, bad results. So probably things like group membership and post limits and such from today would be useful.

But in general Usenet was the way. I won't change my mind, because a few different systems converged on models similar to Usenet, that being itself, Fidonet, Frost and FMS in Freenet, boards in Retroshare, even frankly places like Reddit and Lemmy.

We need a Usenet 2.0, with some precautions from it turning into a place for bots and pirates, like the old one. IMHO. It can even use Fediverse identities (but preferably not, identities should be cryptographic and untied from instances ; or maybe an instance would only be needed when an identity is created and posted into the network, but then it can be banned\removed on that instance all they want, it'll be fully usable).

I thought I did the opposite.

Yeah, about online tests, I've taken it twice in the olden days, once I got a result (probably due to connection problems) fitting a rock, and once I got something egghead high (probably due to the same).

And I've never met people mentioning their IQ test results as an argument other than what you said.

No. Everything is still closed and not interoperable.

I've just read about Google Wave.

I think we need a global low-latency (no waiting an hour for a message to propagate) alternative to Usenet. And there should be two separate layers - unique article (or message) identifiers and the transport (be it lots of news servers exchanging articles as the main layer, or as an auxiliary level users exchanging them p2p with some way to verify an identifier and the fact that it was posted in some specific group by some specific person at some specific time). And cryptographic identities. And cryptographic alternative to DNS inside that - with name-to-identifier records signed and verifiable via a chain to some known name authority, not querying a service.

An article can contain many things, it can be a hypertext page. It can, maybe, contain some header allowing to build articles into hierarchies with such a naming service providing paths. And navigate those with a browser. So you'd have a system friendly to mobile devices, to privacy, to economy of resources, to preserving information, to indexing and scraping.

But I think I've missed something technical preventing this from being created in my thoughts.

The more important demographic to use temporary email addresses are people who think their identity is not your concern.

Ah, OK, that's mentioned.

IMHO something like WoT in Freenet would be better. Having many cryptographic identities, but to start using one you have to spend effort confirming it's real. Solving captchas or whatever. Of course it's an obsolete solution, captchas are now solved by bots easier than by humans. But you get my idea.

There's a particular kind of autistic people which is worse.

My dad who behaved as a normal person, even loved to disprove anti-scientific claims and expose freakery and all that, except he had that inferiority complex and thought foreigners exist to give him the big child candy and say absolute truths, and he also thought autism is like demon possession. I mean, people usually are not who they pretend to be, but he seemed to really like discussing interesting mathematical problems at some point, I was a kid and he didn't try well enough to explain what he was talking about, though. But I expected him at least to talk to me first in such a situation.

So a bad person with a very foreign second name (not really, just the real second name is kinda famous, I suppose, the events also happened about some time after I called famous bearers of that second name bitches) said to him a few kind words, maybe even literally gave him candy, told him he's very smart and his family is abusing him when, eh, criticizing his intelligence, and also told him I'm autistic (he didn't even try actually learning what that is, just was terribly afraid of it and certain he's not), and that moron started running around secretly "curing" me, yelling every morning probably to scare away the possessing demon or whatever, trying to force me eat a lot of weird food, and never directly talking to me. I hope he wasn't "talking to me" via a fortuneteller or a medium. Fucking idiot.

Or my old friend who again ignored me, I'm sure it's for some occult reason too. He'd routinely stuff bullshit names into roleplaying and worldbuilding from history freakery where Aryans built Egyptian pyramids a century between a nuclear war after which 16 century Europe emerged, or something like that. Doing that covertly, not telling where did he take that crap from. Every time someone would discuss actual analogies from actual history, looking suppressed-hostile and trying to stuff something again into the conversation.

Both felt like someone covertly putting pieces of shit into your meal and being certain they are right so everything is fine.

OK. This was completely offtopic, but at the same time maybe not.
