Why is OP banned

I’ve made it 5 years without catching a ban from anywhere except some community on another instance for allegedly being anti-trans, but idk how they got that since I’m pro-trans

It was about whether Bitcoin Cash was referred to as “Bcash” or not.

I forget the semantics, but there were a lot of sources calling it Bcash, but then there were equally reliable sources saying that was only the name given by detractors. The war was something about how Bcash should be referenced in the opening paragraph

There’s a lot of problems with Wikipedia, but in my years editing there (I’m extended protected rank), I’ve come to terms that it’s about as good as it can be.

In all but one edit war, the better sourced team came out on top. Source quality discussion is also quite good. There’s a problem with positive/negative tone in articles, and sometimes articles get away with bad sourcing before someone can correct it, but this is about as good as any information hub can get.

In June 2022, a group of law enforcement officers arrived at Amy Hadley’s South Bend home, where they launched 30 tear gas canisters […] and punched holes in the walls. They were searching for a suspect, John Parnell Thomas, who […] had never been there.

Right, because side-loading is called “installing” on Linux

Does anyone here run Cosmic DE full time? Does it have any killer features?

The guy went homeless, where is he gonna get the funds to sue for spite

They wouldn’t win any meaningful monetary value from talking to a lawyer tbh

Reposting here explicitly because Hacker News (aka Corporate Leeches) took it down and said “It should have been clear there would be a ton of overlap or a relicensing at this point” after Hackcyom violated AGPL

It’s still around, and it still sucks: https://nuclearplayer.com/

You’ll be surprised to learn what the USD is backed by, then

Nah, not for suicide:

But in the post warning users that the company will call the authorities if they seem like they’re going to hurt someone, OpenAI also acknowledged that it is “currently not referring self-harm cases to law enforcement to respect people’s privacy given the uniquely private nature of ChatGPT interactions.”

Good. It is.

Thank you President Trump.

Proton upstreams to Wine a lot. You can tell by the number of patches they have keeps fluctuating

How much do you tolerate before switching sides? Think about Windows vs Linux. People don’t switch.
