patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism

The Patriot Act was an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill.

You’re just redefining terms. It’s the same thing. If Twitter or Lemmy wants to block those things that’s fine. I would agree that social networks should try to maintain some sense of decency on their platforms. The government shouldn’t be involved though.

This is (mostly) a different point and I’m not going to engage with it. Suffice it to say that hate speech isn’t a slippery slope it’s the bottom of the mountain. If such a policy is ever enacted it will be abused and used to persecute people.

While not pacifistic Christianity is non-violent. If someone claims to be a Christian and beats up a homosexual for “no reason” then they are sinning. This, also, is completely irrelevant to the argument I was making.

Everyone tries to enforce their views. You, I assume, want to enforce your world view of radical tolerance for [issue here] at the expense of someone elses ability to criticize it. Your neighbor might want to define hate speech as anything that violates Sharia law.

What we have now (which is no restriction on hate speech) is actually the best policy.

My point is that it’s a moving target that will be abused. The government should not and thankfully cannot regulate speech based on the grounds of “hate”. Hate is also not illegal. (At least in the US)

For example, Christians are taught to love the sinner but hate the sin. Homosexuality, drag queens, transgenderism are sins in Christianity. With your new law Christians are now censored because their worldview disagrees with yours.

Whoever has the right to define that term has immense power and that power will be abused just like the other labels in the meme.

What is hate speech?

It should also include “disinformation”, “hate speech” and “conspiracy theory”.

Cool I might get a test number to play around with before I consider porting my main one.

How is the call quality?

An Fdroid version of the app? Awesome. I’ll check this out. I started out on GV but left years ago when I degoogled.

Edit: How is the call quality?

I’m not a programmer but I’ve been using linux for over 20 years. It’s crazy to me that someone who develops software for a living would not just run Windows but have never meaningfully ran linux. 🤔

I have a thinkpad that runs this. It’s a great little distro.

Why do people feel the need to split hairs with these terms?

He’s not splitting hairs. It’s just a different value proposition. I don’t like the phone number requirement either but it makes sense to your average normie who realizes SMS is exposed plaintext. Something like an anonymous seed phrase as the key to your account would confuse most people. Email would be an improvement but it’s at best pseudonymous.

I want to get into Stellaris but everytime I start I realize I’ll have to play 1000 hours before I understand the basics and close the game.

Is the package manager as extensive as arch? Does it have an AUR equivalent? I’ve been wanting to try Nix or GUIX for a while.

Lol this is exactly where my mind went

It’s great! It only makes 4-6 servings of rice at a time but I prefer that because it means there’s less leftovers
