So, youā€™re suggesting that shadow banning has caused the rise of the alt-right and their conspiracy theories, which implies that they wouldnā€™t exist without shadow bans.

Or they already exist and are in such a fragile state that even an explicit ban makes them upset (which it does.)

Jestzer ,

Again, if youā€™re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, ā€œNo, youā€™re wrongā€ is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that youā€™re wrong.

If you think Iā€™m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then Iā€™d love to see a study that says so because thatā€™s what would likely convince me.

I'm pretty sure anybody who develops anything in the jailbreaking scene can tell you that Apple's source code is not open to the public.

I would hate snaps a lot less if Ubuntu just stopped trying to force me to use them.

I think a lot of people buy Macs because they think the only other choice is a computer running Windows.

I tried, I really did

Iā€™ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but Iā€™ve mainly dealt with Windows. Iā€™ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...

Have you met Windows admins? šŸ˜›

In fairness, Iā€™ve seen some Linux admins become completely hopeless as soon as any GUI appears.

Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?

People will be damned ifā€¦

  1. They are forced to do something for an additional 10 seconds.
  2. Their opinion is wrong.
Jestzer ,

I guess it depends on habits, then. I use them all the time. Not as much as folders, but enough that I would rather the 2 have the same behavior.

Jestzer ,

ā€¦ I am, though.
