    One for communists is hardly any different [to one for nazis] as far as I’m concerned.

    What do you expect to happen when you call a group of people “hardly any different [to nazis]”?

    Communism does not advocate genocide any more than capitalism does. A capitalist society may commit genocide, a communist society may commit genocide. Neither are required to by their economic systems.

    National socialism directly advocates for genocide.

    It’s a ridiculous statement to compare communists to nazis and it’s not surprising that insulting communists like that will get you banned.

    (Adding islamism to the comparison just makes the statement even more bizarre.)







  • You seem to be missing my point.

    This tool would not increase censorship.

    Admins are already able to implement all censorship they want.

    Admins are already able to block left-wing opinions, right-wing opinions, child porn, normal porn.

    And that already happens.

    Lots of instances (like feddit.de) block pornographic content.

    Lots of instances (like lemmy.blahaj.zone) block right-wing content.

    It is already possible, and it is already happening.

    An AI which can detect CSAM (and potentially other content) won’t change that. It will simply make the admins’ job easier.


  • I don’t know how you get the impression that this increases censorship.

    Instance admin already manually block content. And they are already able to do that to any extend they wish to do.

    This tool would simply automate that process.

    Admins would not gain or lose any ability to block content. Identifying child porn would simply be easier.

    (Imagine an admin going to their database and doing a CTRL+F with the term “child porn”, and then going through the posts to find offending ones. But instead of CTRL+F it’s an AI.)

    (For some reason I don’t get a notification when you answer my comment. Is that a known issue? Did you block me or something?)





  • I see a lot of potential in Lapce, but sadly the extensions (which are necessary, since it has basically no ootb language support) are very poorly maintained and outdated. Last I used it the Javascript/Typescript support was simply not sufficient for active use. I am very hopeful for Lapce’s future though!

    Edit: Just checked and the TS/JS extension is still on version 2022.11.0. The code formatting still doesn’t work (for me) :(






  • I use NixOS on my main PC.

    If you want to use NixOS, you have to be willing to read.

    Two things are especially difficult:

    Coding: You will have to learn the Nix-specific way for everything you do. How does Nodejs work in NixOS? How does GCC work in NixOS? How does my IDE work in NixOS?

    Using unofficial packages: The nix repos are very large and you’ll most likely find everything you need there (or on flatpak/flathub). But if something isn’t there, the easiest way tends to be packaging it as a nix package yourself. And that’s something many people probably don’t want to do.

    The coding thing is annoying enough that I may switch away from NixOS at some point.

    Other than that, NixOS is great.
