Not quite - it started with someone derailing a thread about hosting to call people Nazis out of nowhere, and getting banned.

Since then it has essential been more smooth brains doing the same thing and expecting a different result for some bizarre reason.

Did the original guy deserve an instant permanent ban for saying words? Not in my opinion, but I’m in the extreme minority in here because I don’t think anyone should be banned for words. Most here actually want extreme moderation, but only when it’s enforced in the direction they want.

AUD$1 doesn’t equal USD$1, so your logic makes no sense.

Young people can’t really be “unbanked” unless they’re unemployed.

What are you saving even 1% on by paying cash? Dodgy tradies?

You guys are both off in your thinking. Credit card companies didn’t give rewards to get your spending data, they did it to get you spending. If people don’t spend on their credit cards, people don’t get charged large amounts in interest.

With car insurance it’s not about location data, it’s about risk. They’re giving cheaper insurance to smarter EVs that are safer and less likely to be in accidents, because it’s just free money for them.

How can we have energy security by going all-electric when every single piece of hardware in the electric chain is made in China?

We need energy independence, security is a byproduct of that. Every day we go for “net zero” e get further and further away.

Isn’t this the same one that has been found to be about as secure as a wet paper bag within hours of release? You can simply edit a text file in the apps data to remove the pin and face unlock lol

HDDs and SSDs can just drop dead at any time. It’s not a good idea to have no backup if you only have 1 drive in your pc.

I wouldn’t go raid, but I’d be using a cloud backup or an external drive backup.

Everyone should lose their mind if this changes the outcome, because it looks like clear corruption/rigging.

It should be impossible for there to be missing votes that just show up weeks later. If they do they should not be counted, and you definitely shouldn’t be overturning a result.

Rules are only ever there at the mods discretion. Most mods will ban anyone they want to no matter what the rules are. Mod abuse is ripe on Lemmy, even more so somehow than it was/is on reddit.
