  • As someone who is likely on the spectrum, they can tell you are… off, in some way. I think we trigger some sort of anti-sociopath response in people that just makes everyone who doesnt take the time to know you, just feel uneasy. Coupled with the fact that we are anti-social. Theyre going to get the feeling like you intend harm, emotionally or physically.

    People have litterally told me, “I thought you hated me” or “youre allright, I thought you were an asshole”. The reality is I do not want to be here and Id rather be anywhere else. Coworkers try to “break up the routine” and have a chat. But when my schedule is thrown off, i go home later, I eat later, I have less me time, I sleep less, and I blame them.

    All that being said, Ive come to realize that being “in tune” with coworkers IS part of any job. You dont have to like them, but smiling at them, holding doors, offering help, making jokes, and being generally upbeat improves overall efficiency. It takes no time at all, and It will keep people from feeling like they need to "confront"you to get a feel for who you are. Its stupid but its how they feel “safe”.

    If youre busy, politely dismiss conversations and move on. If you cant thats on you, If they get upset/pushy its on them. For being more friendly, I find that watching TV shows about social groups and structure helps alot. Personal favorites include “The Good Place”, “Community”, “Star Trek”, “Golden Girls”. I cant think of more off the top, but maybe lemmy can help add some that resonate with you.



  • Cool, just continue to move the goalpost. Again you implied that there were laws that would allow ofcom to take direct legal action due to international commerce laws. I did not post that they WILL do anything, its just a tactic that can be deployed in the event 4chan does not comply. The reason i referenced that excerpt from ofcom was to show that they did not have ANY existing legal document that would validate your claim. Had they had ANY legal power over 4chan or other nsfw sites, it would have been referenced in the enforcement subsection.

    At this point im genuinely only concerned about your intelectual dishonesty and tactics you have employed to assert yourself. I apologize for my abbrasiveness but Im trying to get through to you that your tactics are BAD and are making you out to look like a fool or intentionally dishonest.

    All of this arguing would have been quelled had you just admitted that your initial reasoning was at fault HOWEVER your point stands about the fact that they will most likely attack payment processors. on top of that several users pointed out the dangers of this type of censorship because it appears as if you are advocating for it. On a website with the same issues as 4chan subject to the same UK laws.


  • The lack of a decision is moot, To your initial claims, aswell as my criticism that this type of attack is underhanded and will be used to attack free speech.

    Also, maybe read the article next time.

    Unfortunately the work involved has led to some sites blocking UK based IP blocks, and while some say they are working to comply, others will probably just vanish permanently for UK users. This is what is behind the worries about free speech being blocked. The problem is that free speech can have consequences, for example someone using AI to generate fake images of someone and posting them claiming free speech, or others goading someone who has posted suicidal thoughts.

    Your fucking article Is making similar claims to me, how this can be dangerous and sets a bad precident even going as far to say “others will probably just vanish permanently for UK users”. Obviously free speech has issues but, mass censorship is not the solution.

    Again you are incapable of responding coherently to valid criticism of your claims. You cant do proper research, and above all else youre absurdly ignorant. BuT gO oFf, KiNg.


  • Again… how is this relevant? The payment processor debacle happened due to an austrailian activist group called collective shout they directly attacked payment processors by filing complaints to american payment processor companies. Nothing to do with following international commerce laws. I PROVED that there was no direct corrilation between accepting international payments and following local laws. The excerpt from the ofcom website admits that they have no direct power or laws backing their complaints, and will attack using the same underhanded tactics used by collective shout. not to mention the payment processors rolled back this decision in light of back lash.

    Okay Ill concede that 4chan is not decentralized. however my original point stands. The violations of consumer protection laws are the same on both platforms. The sites both prioritize, anonimity, freedom of speech, and self modderation.

    Believe it or not lemmy has similar issues to 4chan you just havent seen it. You can definitely find stances with some degenerate stuff and even some that are still federated.

    Youre constantly moving the goalpost to protect your ego. Youve failed at every turn to properly dispute me or any of the other logical users attempting to change your perspective. I believe you lack the facilities to have honest and productive conversations, similarly I lack the pateince to help lead you to the same conclusions we have intuited. I hope you improve, Ill attempt to do the same. Allthough I do not have high hopes for either of us.


  • Once more for good measure.

    4chan intends to ignore these complaints. if they do, sure they can attack the payment processors. But there is no law that states “If 4chan accepts payments in the UK that they must comply.” as youve previously implied. Therefore if further action is taken (like blocking coinbase payments) Then 4chan will respond.

    Your initial comment was largely irrelevent to the actual laws that affect 4chans buisness or modderation practices which the letter is in response to… further more your advocation of said tactics to attack 4chan is concerning considering your CURRENT presence on a decentralized platform that accepts dontations through similar payment processors and can be blocked through ISPs.


  • True, but why does it matter here? The original letter to 4chan stated that they are violating the Photo ID based online safety laws, nothing about their intent to follow commerce laws.

    ALSO

    Directly from the ofcom website

    https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/protecting-children/ofcom-investigates-34-porn-sites-unr-new-age-check-rulesde

    Enforcement powers

    Where we identify compliance failures, we can require platforms to take specific steps to come into compliance. We can also impose fines of up to £18m or 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue, whichever is greater.

    Where appropriate, in the most serious cases, we can seek a court order for ‘business disruption measures’, such as requiring payment providers or advertisers to withdraw their services from a platform, or requiring Internet Service Providers to block access to a site in the UK.

    Edit: jsyk LEMMY falls under these guidelines it could easily be unjustly blocked by isps.


  • I mean 4chan is the hub for degens so i can understand why youd want to see them lose. But I think this sets a bad precident If anything it should be up to the UK to block in and out going traffic to 4chan. (Dont think they can do this either though)

    If 4chan bends the knee lemmy could easily be next. Itd be more effort attacking each instance. But still possible. I really hope youre just playing devils advocate and arent praying for our collective downfall.


  • People Make Games reported them 3 YEARS AGO.

    nothing was done then. Probably same thing is going to happen here. MAYBE roblox gets slightly better modderation, but i doubt it. The inceased modderation could also make the game unplayable for innocent users.

    Worst part is that its such a lose lose situation roblox shutting down will remove acess to alot of the hard work the child slave devs did keeping the platform alive. People are going to miss roblox join private servers and boom back at square one. Club Penguin all over again.

    I watched a bit of the content creator schlep and was honestly disapointed with how THIS type of content is what triggered this whole debacle. There have been plenty of other people exposing issues prior to this. but i guess if you put a scary thumbnail and read all the chat logs as if youre edging the whole time… whatever gets the preds off the intetnet ig I can at least be happy that people are FINALLY talking about it again.

    People have been kidnapped! For fucks sake.

    Braindead responses and honestly probably just bait anyone passing through, ignore this fool. Ubuntu base install(gnome), in my experience uses less than 2gb of ram at idle. (Even less when using xfce or lxqt) Dummy added bloat to his system and then came on here to bitch about nothing. either that or hes a bot, troll or both.



  • Hes saying that a HDD or SSD draws too much power for the usb port to handle on his mini pc. This would not be an issue if the drive was externally powered or, for example of he used a dongle that has a power input, the usb hdd or ssd “should” (maybe check the specs of the dongle) draw power directly from the wall and transfer data to the phone, so it shouldnt be an issue. This is actually very useful input even if the user does not plan to boot off the hdd. Definitely could have been worded better tho
