There is already nsfw flag to avoid this kind of thing, so it’s not a new concept on Lemmy. Except this content is usually not considered nsfw enough.

Thanks for linking to this, it could indeed be a solution.

The RFC: https://github.com/Neshura87/rfcs/blob/main/0004-post-tags.md

TL;DR: a tag/flag system for posts is described in this RFC and being actively developed with a part 1 already merged and a part 2 in review. Tagging would only be possible for privileged users such as mods and admins so they can keep a sensical classification. So from there, we would need softcore communities’ mods to agree to use a specific tag that we could filter out. That’s still a lot of if, but it’s a good step, with many other use cases.

How do I discover new communities without using all?

They appear in the all feed without subscribing. Only using the subscribed feed would mean I am missing on new communities that may interest me.

I think when people feel like things are going downward (quality of life, economy, local security, international security, ecological crisis etc.), tend to regress towards a conservative reflex. They want to protect what they have, by extension, they don’t want things to change out of fear of losing what they have, or they attribute the loss of what they had to unrelated change (I lost my job because of immigration).
I think it requires good quality education and information to go past this conservative reflex and understand that accepting some constrains (regulations, taxes) may make society better for everyone.
It also means that manipulating education and information can prevent that and encourage people to take the natural conservative slope. I think “evil” people have found a powerful tool to do that with the mass adoption of social media that they can buy and manipulate.

I see two big solutions, either falling so low that humanism bounces back out of terror of what happened like after WW2. Or managing to implement systems that will prevent nefarious manipulation of information and instead promote humanism.

How comes that multiple times in history, societies reached a sufficient consensus (including part of the rich elite) to build democracies, write down rights and enforce their protection? And why would it not happen again?
Maybe human societies are too complex to be reduced to evolutionary interpretations.

It certainly would, but I would be worried about the people at the bottoms whose salary depend on this. Rich people can afford not getting revenue for a month, but people with precarious work contracts often can’t.
What about mass boycott targeted at the companies undeniably supporting this government?
It could impact bottom people less.

1. FBI makes political opponent sign a contract to never ever eat cereals anymore.
2. FBI uses chip to erase political opponent’s memory of signing the contract.
3. Next morning, political opponent chomp chomps.
4. Afternoon, straight to jail!

Terrifying.

If you choose to build one, I think people at !Buildapc@lemmy.world will be willing to help.
This is a good reference for comparing parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/
Plus, building the PC with your son could be a very exciting teaching experience for him.

Oh blimey

Should I double my muscles and bones? Stem cell injections?

That would be a relief.

I will try to remember.

What makes 26 a full adult?

Impressive

What was you initial intentions when writing the code? Were you paid to do it for a specific project that was obviously used for “bad”?

You mean you published something on the internet under you real name (which the company probably didn’t notice)?

Thank you for this personal contribution. I like the Robin Hood angle of it.

the building maintenance technician also works for the evil company

Yes

you’re asking if they’re just as guilty as the software engineer that worked to create the evil product?

Or the opposite, if they are as free from guilt as the maintenance guy.

That’s kind of the origin of my question, does this thinking about the technician extends to someone more involved in the product made, such as an engineer?
