ITT: OP just wants to vent, now he literally has homework instead.

Ah I see. Thanks!

It’s a coworking space, which means he’s not dunking on his employees, just other randos who have a life.

No no, I’m not claiming you’re editorialising. I’m just having comprehension issues and failing to understand, thus I’m trying to get an ELI5. So basically, as I understand it, hexbear admin urges others to shut down their drama comms, then proceed to announce they’ll be doing the same on their own instance. I’m not seeing the duplicity or clash of motives? Maybe I’m just bad at understanding this drama stuff.

I’m missing something. What was the difference between what they said in matrix chat to other admins, and what they said to their users? Because from your description it kinda sounded the same.

Not OP, but how do you inject anything into a torrent, assuming the torrent is official? I’m not aware of that possibility.

Pretty sure that’s just dust buildup

Was mostly referring to restaurants and other services. But in general, no I have yet to experience any place flat out rejecting my business if I pay in cash. I’m not sure what’s with the downvotes, I’m merely sharing my personal experiences.

Don’t do cash, or would prefer not to do cash? Those are 2 different things.

I have yet to encounter a place that will refuse to take my cash if I tell them I have no other method of payment. They may not be eager to, but they can’t stop you from leaving.

Nobody’s refusing payments in cash. The articles you’re linking were during covid, an entirely different context

Oh yes, no argument there. That’s my entire point, in fact.

Warning: Unpopular opinion coming up

This is a ridiculous metric. They measure carbon emissions not just by what the billionaires are consuming, but by what their investments (businesses, factories, etc) are producing. This is akin to the world blaming China for their grossly inflated per capita emissions, while conveniently ignoring that it’s actually being consumed by other countries and it’s just shifting numbers around.

There are plenty of legit reasons to hate billionaires, there’s really no need to be making up new questionable ones that can be torn apart.

What’s with all the recent articles whitewashing Denuvo?

Steam DRM doesn’t have quite the same history of maliciousness towards end users that Denuvo does

What makes you think he’s an idiot as opposed to lying through his teeth?

- ‘It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it’

He may be an artist, but he’s definitely no writer. I’d love to read so much more about his story, but it’s just hints and bits.

By the same logic however, mods would have no power to actually moderate. Their moderation ability is directly proportional to their potential for abuse. And I think we can all agree we’ve long passed the point where communities are able to survive without moderation, at least in their current form (which is what OP is discussing).
