Then CSAM point becomes kind of a religion for social networks. Either a social network is able to resist government's urge of terrorism prevention and child protection (I am referencing to some famous meme on censourship) or its moderator's ego is going to have an endless growing exposed in banning some users with some fancy excuses. Now try to convince me that Lemme is not a spam from Reddit's PoV.
How do you stop your website from being filled with CSAM? “Religion” aside, what do you actually do with your mouse and keyboard when you see CSAM pop up on a website that you pay for?
It's "Starship", and it's unlikely to be able to get to where the JWST is in the next few years due to needing to be refuelled in orbit. Plus they have no payload bay design. Then there's the robotics necessary for doing a repair, or human-rating Starship, either of which is years worth of time.
Honestly, I've been guilty of treating much of the last year as a loading screen. At times I've been hyper-focussed on doing that lovely personal development we're all supposed to do when cooped up alone at home, and at others just pissing around making cocktails and talking shite with my friends over social media.
There's not many more capitalist places on the internet, the fact you identify HN as a "left wing mob" indicates you've completely lost touch with reality.
One of the nice things about HN is being exposed to a broad range of opinions. As fairly left wing myself, I don’t find it particularly welcoming nor hostile when it comes to political issues. Which is a refreshing change from the normal echo chambers both the left and right can get into. However, some people interpret “there exist people with different opinions than me” as somehow being a mob, which just seems like an angry attempt to silence discussion. (I’ve seen left and right complain about that on HN, so I think it’s less about politics alignment than it is about certain personality types that can be found across the political spectrum. The right’s equivalent of militant “SJW’s” or whatever the current bogeyman is.)
All of big tech is run by crony capitalist oligarchs working hand in hand with politicians which happen to all support one side. When all of big tech, media, academia, Hollywood, late night tv hosts, trillionaire corporations with horrible hiring, firing, poor working conditions support the same candidates and view points, maybe it’s not so pure.
