So, you’re suggesting that shadow banning has caused the rise of the alt-right and their conspiracy theories, which implies that they wouldn’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.)
Again, if you’re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, “No, you’re wrong” is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that you’re wrong.
If you think I’m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then I’d love to see a study that says so because that’s what would likely convince me.
I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’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...
That figures. I was going to say, this seems like a bit too much money. Neither person who signed it is dead and while new copies of Halo CE aren’t being made, they don’t seem to be THAT valuable, considering millions of them were made.
I recently made a program that will allow you to force checkpoints during the campaign of the Halo games on PC. It includes the MCC, the original CE PC port, Custom Edition, and Halo 2 Vista. I know there’s a checkpoint manager that already exists, but I wanted to make something simpler and also wanted to learn more about...
My phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, but I use wired headphones every day, so I use an adapter. I’ve had the same ones for about 10 years now, so I see no reason to replace them.
Both the ear piece padding and the cord are easily replaceable. I have replaced the cord… maybe once? The padding I’ve replaced a few times and is around $30 to do so.
The closest grocery store closest to my house is the only self-checkout store around me that still uses scales and they’re awful. There are certain items it doesn’t pick up on and it forces you to bag your groceries after checking out, making everything slower. I avoid that place at all costs, even though it’s the closest to me.
I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the ones I use have a disabled scale, but only that one grocery store I mentioned actually uses it. It could be that they have poorly calibrated scales, but if that’s the case, then all of the ones they use are. Self-checkout everywhere else is a breeze.

Work. If I’m not making programs on Windows and not keeping up with the changes in Windows, then I’d be very distant from the customers I work with. I am absolutely not in a position to tell them to just switch.
