They give you two types of machines for free. One is x86 (AMD) based with a 2ghz cpu and 1gb ram. The beefier machine (the one with 24gb ram) is ARM based. Besides hardware, the main benefit for me over google is the traffic limit, 10tb per month instead of 1gb per day.

Question from a late millennial, how real/popular were those Elsa spiderman YouTube brainrot videos that were a mini moral panic a few years back? I was never sure how much of it was consumed by bots as opposed to real children

Am I missing something? I thought you weren’t required to put a return address on postcards. Just put your username and email.

If you’re a cheapskate like me, oracle cloud’s free vps tier is the most generous I’ve seen of any provider. I suspect it’s because their other services are subpar so they gotta raise market share somehow.

yes, that’s why I put it in quotes. However given the diversity of culture and language there’s still going to be slurs that the predominantly English speaking mods will not be aware of, so users should be able to set their own filters.

Imo the flaw of both the op and this comment is it almost completely leaves out the reasons why it is “young”. Were the people who created the “new” culture settling on pristine virgin land? What could possibly have happened to the existing people who bore the “old” culture? Hmm

spoiler: the answer is that anglo saxon protestants were convinced of their superiority and almost uniquely violent, with few qualms about outright massacring and displacing natives. At least the spanish speaking catholics in south america intermarried and assimilated somewhat

Op’s take is not reasonable imo- if you think threats are harmful enough to prosecute they should also be harmful enough to censor.

Maybe a more soft form of censorship, such as hiding them behind a cw and a “user was vanned for this post” label rather than outright removal, but you can’t just do nothing.

My personal opinion is that for “edge cases” like cisgender, I should be the one who decides what “slurs” I see or don’t see on the feed, rather than some shmuck twitter mod who watched a YouTube video or whatever.

The thing is, I dislike censorship in general. Corporate or government. Yes it’s the corp’s prerogative, but we’re allowed to criticize corporate censorship and hypocrisy regarding censorship.

I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful/monopolistic companies run by billionaires while criticizing censorship by the government. They’re not that different.

I’m sure we could think of a few. Notch was some random slob who made Minecraft. Jk Rowling just wrote some mediocre books at an opportune moment, but neither of her parents went to college.

(goose.jpg) portability to where?

I’m a bsky fanboy normally but this is not a benefit. The functional part of bluesky is centralized. But they’re open source and an open protocol so technically anyone can build a replacement

People who emigrated from the Soviet Union often disagreed with its social policy and general way of life. They were more fans of capitalism/individualism as they imagined it, over the Soviet system. This is reflected not just in lifestyle but in politics too, they are a Republican stalwart in a deeply democratic area. I wouldn’t count on them “maintaining Soviet culture”.

Tildes is many years old, founded by a former mod who did a lot of good work to clean up and grow /r/games like 12 years ago and eventually got hired by reddit, then left to start tildes.

Are there any that have a skip annoying laughter feature (/s)

Seriously tho that sort of thing seems like it would mess with the use of pauses for narrative effect
