  • Republicans value in-group loyalty more than anything else. That usually is part of conservatism.

  • Make a new space with your own rules

    That's what's happening here and you're whining about it. Follow your own advice.

    My big problem with censorship is that it dulls the mind. Safe spaces do the same thing. If your thoughts and beliefs are never questioned, you can never grow as a person. Echo chambers are breeding grounds for ignorance. Our world is not tolerant of ignorance. Being unable to react appropriately to emotionally inflammatory bait makes us all weaker on an emotional level.

    Also this is nonsense. Some topics don't need to be relitigated. No one benefits from giving "maybe {racist trope} is real" a platform and legitimacy.

    Furthermore, allowing stuff like Nazi ideas is corrosive to the community. Like the anecdote about the Nazi bar posted elsewhere, if you let that stuff in then you end up with all the other people leaving.

    You are wrong and your ideas are counter productive for maintaining a vibrant community. Many left wing spaces ban Nazi apologia, and have no shortage of debate and competing thought.

    Claiming your opponents are just emotionally weak is also laughable. You sound like a real sad sack neo-nazi incel projecting his own shortcomings.

  • So the individuals running a forum cannot moderate the forum. It must be open to any and all content. Otherwise that is censorship, and bad.

    Well, I infer from your tone you think censorship is always bad. Maybe you're just splitting a hair about how in a sense content moderation is censorship.

    because the community can’t regulate their own emotions is censorship.

    The biggest eyeroll

  • Will you write "I'm an idiot" on your forehead for me? If not, am I being censored? Why or why not? Should you be obligated to carry my message anywhere I desire?

  • There are many comics in the world. Banning a handful of horrible creators won't starve the community for content. It will create space for non-horrible artists.

    Allowing the "nice" comics by horrible people just creates a funnel for people to click though and be exposed to hateful ideas.

    If in several months the ban list has grown monstrous in size, we could revisit, but that seems unlikely.

    It's not book burning or censorship. The horrible creators remain entitled to host their own websites or their own instances.

  • I've known several people who moved from QA and testing to developer roles, but usually as an internal transfer.

    Most recruiters and management don't know shit about fuck when it comes to technical details, so it's not surprising a lot of them think "Oh the guy who knows how software works and how to handle edge cases? No, we don't want him"

  • Fuck test automation, it’s a fucking trap get out of it as soon as you can

    lol.

    Meanwhile, the org I work at has no test automation, so things that should be trivial require hours of tedious, error-prone, manual testing. Also they break stuff and don't find out until after it's merged.

  • I've never paid a subscription for YouTube. It's been, what, like $10/mo for ten years? Can buy a lot of media drm free for that $1200.

  • It enables unskilled people to punch above their weight class, similar to giving a chainsaw to a toddler.

    I've used them a little for coding, but it's not always correct. It's often incorrect in subtle ways. Or inefficient in non obvious ways. It gets worse as you build more.

    Often it's better overall to do it yourself if you know what you're doing. If you stick to letting the LLM do it, you won't learn much.
