In the early-to-mid 2010s Tumblr was mainly associated with “social justice” types of people, it seems to have become a lot less relevant at some point in the late 2010s.
I think you’ve just (perhaps independently) discovered the (in my mind very important) idea that moderation is different from censorship. I think the fediverse structure implements that distinction a lot better than most other platforms nowadays do.
nonexistent really
The trick is: drink as much water (by volume) as you’ve had alcoholic beverages before going to sleep.
This used to be like this in my hometown (in Europe). Then the city government placed free excrement bag dispensers in many places and did a public awareness campaign telling people to clean up after their dogs; this definitely had an effect, I hardly ever see dog poop anywhere anymore.
Most code I write is Java and I use IntelliJ for that. When I write Python I use PyCharm, anything else, Visual Studio Code or VSCodium.
All of these have plugins for vim keybindings which are always the first thing I install. I almost never disable them.
Now that so many things we use every day have computers in them, many causes of death are related to computers.
Many modern cars (especially electric cars) are basically computers that drive; cars kill many people. The same applies to planes. Software bugs in medical software might cause you to receive improper care, which could kill you. Computers might control a lock which might lock you in a room until you die of dehydration or starvation.
The instance you are imagining will inevitably be inundated with the output of spambots. You don’t want a completely unmoderated instance because it will just not be an enjoyable place (even for you! even for people who have no problem with getting exposed to “hate speech”!) to hang out on.
I think lemm.ee defederates from very little, that is the closest I know of, but I see that that’s already where you are, so I can’t help you much more than that.
I remember in the 2000s there was something on Mozilla’s own website that said something like “we do not support or endorse icons that say that a website is best viewed in Firefox; we believe the web is best viewed with any standards-conforming browser”. Not sure if that is still there somewhere. So that is a fairly authoritative answer as to “ethical”; in any case now that all widely-used web browser engines are FOSS, why would you want to push people to any of them?!
It would probably be possible by testing the software more extensively in Firefox.
People exceed the speed limit on highways, but usually not by a lot. If they exceed it by a lot, it is usually enforced, e.g. by speed cameras; but of course some people still sometimes get away with it, no enforcement of any law is perfect.
no idea where you’re from, but it’s true in many European countries too
Sleep deprived probably
Yeah, I agree with you. There are so many topics that nobody talks about here, but does elsewhere on the Internet.
In general yes, but I would prefer if it had a wider variety of viewpoints on societal issues. I don’t even always disagree with the prevailing circlejerk here on everything, but I would occasionally like to read counterarguments to it too.
Commenting on a message board is a lot more normal now than it used to be. Facebook, Reddit as well as comment sections on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc. are fairly mainstream things by now, I would consider all of these forms of message boards.
By definition in a dictatorship, there are either no parties, or there is only one party, or the parties that are not the one the dictator belongs to are not allowed to be in actual opposition to the ruling one or attempt to become the ruling one. (That last one is the case in North Korea and was the case in East Germany for most of its history.)
What do you mean “instead of”? There are many kinds of taxes in my country, which is in the EU. I pay a huge cut of my salary in taxes every month even before I pay VAT on things I buy.
The best place to privately store anything is on your own machine, not anyone else’s.
I switched to “new comments” a while ago and have no desire to go back to anything else.
One major change that has happened is: forums used to be linear with thread bumping (phpBB, SMF), now they are mostly conversation trees with sorting by upvotes or similar (Reddit, Lemmy).
