Obviously if you're blackout drunk because you "like beer", the abuse never happened. /s

" Am I being detained or am I free to go?" If detained "then you shut the fuck up!"

That was added during the cold war by lunatics that thought it would protect us from communism somehow.

It is a way to segregate the "worthy" from the rest (or vice versa I guess depending on if your "worthy" or not).

This is also the reason that immigrants became "illegal". If they are legal you have to pay them a real wage/benefits/pay taxes for them. If you make them "illegal" you can have very cheap labor (slaves) that can't rat you out or they are deported. They also only give corporations a slap on the wrist when they "had no idea they were illegal". Then the corp just replaces them with "new hires" who are totally "NOT illegal" and starts the process all over until the next time.

Sync (at least for me) is broken with the latest rc build. I'm fine with this because I'm the silly that is running alpha/beta/rc builds of lemmy on my instance.

I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it's just far and away the best IMHO.

It means that the alarm bells went off and people paid more attention to capitalism, and voting in people that actively worked against them, because those elected officials treated people they disliked even worse. Then we got a wanna be dictator that went full "journalists are an enemy of the state" because they say mean (TRUE) things about him. Journalists now choose between being able to eat, or sounding the alarm that costs them a job (and falls on deaf ears).

Probably because in a free from authoritarian government the free press is supposed to be the ultimate checks and balances on personal liberty. When you can't even write something negative about a leader without being dismembered in a hotel and disposed of in duffle bags like trash, that should be ringing alarms for anyone that isn't licking boots.

I don't think putting your head in the sand makes all the world's problems go away, just makes you ignorant and less prepared to handle them.

Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.

There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.
