There seems to be a pretty universal consensus view in leftist spaces that pejoratives based on marginalized groups are a form of microaggression and/or discrimination towards that group and should therefore be avoided. I’m wondering if you disagree with that general principle,

Yeah I guess so. No need to walk on egg shells just to live a little.

or do you just have a problem with the word “retarded” being included in the set of problematic pejoratives?

Both?

Ok moral agent of the status quo

Way out of line dude. Stop imposing your morality as the gospel. And you again misinterpret what I said. Who is gonna be the arbiter of what words are harmful? That line can be a slippery slope.

And the use of retarded was directed at something, not someone, in case you missed that.

I feel like you have the impression I lean towards a radical view of free speech, but I have not alluded to that. So hold your horses. I simply stated I was hesitant to donate to an instance that banned users based on the use of the r-word. I wasn’t looking for an alternative, I simply talked about an idea I have had.

That’s not the kind of filter I’m talking about. I mean that all content in still there and accessible (to everyone) but only hidden depending on user’s settings/preference. This should not require manual labor, if filter is functional enough. That way it’s not outright removed, preventing said consequences of potential biased censorship.

I’m not saying said filter is easily implementable but theoretically it’d be the best solution I think.

Perhaps a filter on the user side is better than to outright censor things. Then you preserve the free flow of ideas and opinion, while limiting unwanted exposure to uninterested people. That way you eliminate the biases of what is deemed permissible and what not. I think that is a good solution for both sides

Lol everything for short term profit huh. Who cares what happens in the future, right, nut my job

Sure, I just don’t agree with the approach. I think it will backfire in the long run. But this is not a place to debate these things, I know…

It’s tempting to donate but I was banned for using the r-word (against things, not people). I’m not sure if I want to support censorship though. But that’s just my two cents… Idk

I see, but wouldn’t it make more “human readable sense” to order spaces before any other character? Any human working with analog archives would rank 5 A before 5.5 A, since they think 5 is 5.0 in their head

yes yes I get what you’re saying but it’s still odd. Didn’t humans do this differently in the old analog days? I’m sure any human when working with a real paper archive in front of him, order 5 A before 5.5 A. Perhaps it has something to do with viewing 5 as 5.0 and 5.00, since they are mathematically equivalent, and come before 5.5. Although humans would also be inconsistent because they would order 5.9 before 5.11 if the context were to be chapters going from 5.9 -> 5.10 -> 5.11. But if these papers were to represent values, humans would order 5.9 AFTER 5.11. And computers obviously don’t make exceptions based on context like humans do.

edit: if I understand correctly, I’d be cleaner if spaces come first in character ranking of ANY character. Perhaps that’d make it more human readable.

The main reason of Google’s financing is probably because they don’t want to be accused of a browser monopoly. So this will stop, leaving Firefox with very little income.

I’m not sure if the reason you said is enough for them to keep paying.

Google search is not the same thing as google Chrome

I never said that

Can you be more specific?

This is the most unhinged shit I ever read

I think maybe Fedora but probably less software available

i no read qr

Not sure but I think because water sticks to surfaces and pulls on other water molecules. I think this is what the capillary effect is based upon. Thus also (partly) how trees get their water upwards, and how sponges absorb water

you mean I should’ve called it the “dark web”? I just wanted to imply that “dark web” is a subset of “deep web” in the sense that it is not searchable by regular search engines, thereby including “dark web” to the “deep web” set. But regardless, leak dumps can be found in both places, right?

Not if you cross reference the IP with data leaks on the deep web, revealing way more or other personal info
