My phone case has a magnet in it (so it mildly sticks to metal surfaces).
I've put it on a laptop and accidentally triggered the "lid close" sensor

Remember when he randomly called that rescue diver a pedo?
Pure projection

It's not difficult to define.
It's about people's choices.

People can choose to own a gun, choose to want to own a gun, choose to own a whole armoury.
I think owning a gun is stupid. I live in a country that successfully regulates guns.
Saying "I think gun owners are stupid" isn't hate speech because they have chosen to own a gun.
If I said "gun owners should use their guns in themselves" that becomes hate speech because it's wishing harm on them.

People choose to be Republicans, trumps choices in life are why he is where he is.
Hate trump because of what he does, not because he has blonde hair.

People don't choose to be gay, or be trans, or be Jewish, or be black, or be short or whatever.
Which is another way opinions can become hate speech.
If I said "I think gun owners are stupid" that isn't hate speech.
If I said "I think black people are stupid" that becomes hate speech because it is grouping people by something they have no control over.

"Lemmy Plays Doom".
Doom runs for 0.5 seconds and the video is uploaded to the LPD community.
Most upvoted action in the comments after a day gets applied to the game and the next 0.5s of gameplay video is uploaded to a new post.
Repeat until WR is achieved.

Might need some moderator discretion to normalise comments to in-game actions (or fuck it, send it to an LLM)

Porn is performed by consenting adults and consumed by consenting adults.
That's why porn made from human trafficking, revenge porn (ie leaking nudes of an ex) etc are illegal in most sane countries.
The idea being that porn doesn't hurt anyone.

Hate speech is harmful. It's purpose is to hurt people.
So yeh, it should be illegal.
I have no issues discussing hate speech. I do have issues with hate speech being used.

But they provide the methods of uploading, deleting and viewing the contents of that storage to their end users.
So, it's Reddits storage.

It requires them to restrict certain categories of video, so that users cannot share content on cyberbullying, promoting eating disorders, promotion of self harm or incitement to hatred on a number of grounds.

Yeh, fuck censorship. Let's all be shitbags and do that stuff instead!

4 years ago (best number I can find, considering IAs blog pages are down) IA used about 50 petabytes on servers that have 250 terabytes of storage and 2gbps network.
From this, we can conclude that 1 TB of storage requires 8mbps of network speed.
Let's just say that average/all residential broadband has spare bandwidth for 8mbps symmetrical.
We would need 50,000 volunteers to cover the absolute minimum.
Probably 100k to 200k to have any sort of reliability, considering it's all residential networking and commodity hardware.

In the last 4 years, I imagine IA has increased their storage requirements significantly.
And all of that would need to be coordinated, so some shards don't get over-replicated

I feel like apple made it work

There was something nice about navigating the Cyclops through some narrow area.
I never felt the need to excel at driving the sea truck.

I forgot what I was trying to say there.
I think it's along the lines of "I'd rather we didn't need a ridiculous amount of new power, but at least it's being covered by non-carbon sources".

W10... Nothing.

W11, some bullshit popover sidebar thing that takes up actually (Literally? Factually?) 50% of my desktop that tells me about the NASDAQ, the weather, some "local" roadworks in the next city over (when my street has roadworks blocking some significant traffic lights in the literal capital of my country), some recommendations for games, a shopping ad, and some bullshit news headlines that I don't care about.
