The thing I don't get about the whole GNU/Linux thing is: aren't there a lot of tools that have become pretty standard to what Linux is at this point? Like X or Wayland? Most people aren't exactly running servers.

That's not radically different from what happens with other abandoned subs, except that usually they are actually abandoned and there has to be more talk about who should take over.

Reddit's policy has always been that subreddit requests only apply if someone actually goes vacant. The only reason XKCD still doesn't have holocaust denial in the sidebar is because the guy who owned the sub disappeared. The XKCD case is especially egregious because I'd argue that associating a public figure's webcomic with a horrendous opinion he doesn't hold is something that would actually open you up to a lawsuit.

It's a lot more nuanced than that. The Chapo mods wanted to follow site-wide rules but reddit refused to explain what was in violation of them.

Reddit actually has a weird history of flipflopping with the banhammer.

Back in the day, the XKCD subreddit was run by a guy who linked a Holocaust denial subreddit and the red pill in the sidebar. Reddit didn't do anything about this. In fact The Red Pill still exists.

But then when the subreddit owner closed KotakuInAction, suddenly reddit doesn't mind interfering with the free market of ideas.

I'm not even a big Nolan fan but this film was a fascinating watch.

The critique that there are no Japanese characters doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm not sure how they'd fit into the narrative, and also I don't trust an American director to really do that story justice. They could only ever write an American interpretation of the Japanese experience of the war.

If anything, we should use this opportunity to promote films by Japanese directors that do deal with these themes.

Yeah I was still in high school back then. Now I've almost graduated college. The pandemic really changed things.

I heard elsewhere on Lemmy someone signing a permission slip for letting Benjamin be called Ben. Might just be a school doing malicious compliance in regards to the law though.

If you can find it, Pocari sweat is the best electrolyte thing I've tried.

Hello. I was pretty regular user of the original sub before it closed down. I avoided moving to Hexbear because I didn't like the interface.

Might be a bit heavy, but assuming you have a good upload/GPU: Jellyfin.

How would this even be enforced?

Methinks perchance they've been imbibing the 40-rod.
