I’m with you on this. There is no evidence here to suggest or infer intent to block speech to meet any agenda. An overly censitive CSAM filter seems to be the most likely, and a perfectly reasonable, if not annoying, explanation.
Let’s keep accusation of censorship for the cases where speech appears to be blocked intentionally, i.e. for the purposes of manipulating a narrative.
Touch grass. No really. There’s an ultra high def Instagram for free, for real. /outdoors
Are you here because you believe in something and actually want to see it happen, or are you here just to stroke your own ego. Ain’t nobody got time for that second part. Get real.
Learning ESPHome has been the most liberating thing. Take back control of your home. Local first. Privacy respecting.

Information is not truth.
The point of a teacher is to challenge the student. We become wiser by putting knowledge to the test, not by merely ingesting information. There is as much misinformation as there is true information, if not more. That is why learning is only complete once the misinformation is separated from the true information. And the only way to do that is to experience the information in the context of the real world.
This is just as true for machine learning/AI BTW.
Interestingly, each and every title portrayed here is, individually a lie, and collectively probably more accurate. Because the truth is usually much more nuanced and complicated than can be distilled into a short book title. But you won’t get that by reading a single book or author. And while reading multiple authors is closer to getting to the truth, the real truth is found when you put the books in context with your own experiences and reality.
That’s not an excuse for climate denial though. A teacher will rightfully tell you your world view is too small to experience climate change.
Any recommended firewall block lists (or allow lists) for Roku?
everybody else, whether influencer or consumer, get fucked over in the process.
Enshittification correctly defined.
The scientific process derives consensus from not observing what is expected in a theory, rather from repeated failure to observe counter examples to what is expected. This is the whole point of “reject the null hypothesis”.
Stated more plainly, a scientific theory is solidified when you put yourself in the shoes of your own fiercest critics, and attempt to question your own idea (in good faith) and fail to observe any evidence to substantiate that criticism. A scientific theory, is then put under that scrutiny for real, and gains consensus when others fail to observe any counter examples for themselves.
So to answer “what to look at”, the answer is always, what would your competition look at to try to disprove you? Then look at that, to see if there is anything of substance to discredit your own idea, and save everyone the time and your embarrassment in case there are easy counter examples.
Lots of great points in the comments. But I think so far no one has really addressed your core complaint head on, which is why society tolerates a double standard here.
Parents get a pass because they are supporting more than just themselves… It may appear that the parent who is getting a free pass is pulling less weight, if you look at this exclusively through the lens of comparing contribution to the company’s productivity. But if you expand that lens a bit, you see that raising a child is also work to be valued (which you benefitted from yourself, btw). Frankly, a company with a work culture that considers its social responsibility to the community beyond merely spitting out products is a really good thing.
If you are ok with the double standard of handicapped parking, you should be ok with this too.
I now only buy offline or local-only software and products. If it doesn’t exist, I hack it.
AFAIAC, all that that achieved was to push me off of those MS products.
All prices are set based on what consumers are willing to pay.
The only way prices ever go down is by exercising a decision not to buy something or to go somewhere for an item.
It will not come from the government, unless the government mandates a specific rate.
You both aren’t wrong… But this isn’t about you.
All this convenience in tech. We never stopped to ask ourselves what we were giving up. Add protest to the list of sacrifices to the altar of affluence.
I can’t relate with this feeling of wanting to “troll people on Reddit” at all. Are you conjoined at the hip with them? Is your identity defined by your relationship with them?
Cut them out. Try some scissors.
Headphones do all this already. No mind control is a nice little benefit too.
Trump voters: “Trump is the most peaceful president ever. We need to bring the defence spending to Ukraine home. America first”.
Trump is elected and inevitably drags the US into yet another war in in the Middle East

Nah. Just kidding about that last part. It was all just empty rhetoric to justify the grift and looting all the way down as the country burns to the ground in the background.
It’s a tech demo. It’s not made to be practical. It is made to spur the imagination.
