He should be able to sue youtube for a nice settlement (if he is in the right), maybe? Idealistically, that should keep such bullshit in check.
But then again, youtube probably has "Youtube reserves the right to do fucking anything to you" in its TOS that everybody just skips.

I, for one, welcome our gay sex prophet overlords. In fact, my religion of "Gay Sex Prophetism" requires it. However, we strongly believe fish must have a sex and "Potato fish" is extremely insulting.
I thought lemmy was a selective sampling of more educated/initiative people than the shit show of reddit.
This thread makes me sad.
So much ado about nothing.
Female is a perfectly valid word. Go read a dictionary. If somebody gets offended due to a single, usual word, they should consider a therapist.
Permabanning with the explanation of using "female" in the title is axiomatically wrong. At minimum a better explanation is needed.
What the fuck, guys?
What about people who keep paper magazines of printed porn? I guess it's really frustrating how too good a lock and key of an apartment is? We should really outlaw locks and keys that the government can't open at any moment, with no notice. Search warrants should be unnecessary.
Disregarding whataboutism about much larger problems, specifically here, about something like the church.....
Took you a while, but yes.
Nowhere am I dismissing the holocaust.
The example given in the wikipedia article is one small part of the holocaust, while helpful for Nazi efforts, if it did not exist, it would have had 0 ideological hindrance, and most likely would have been managed in some other (maybe less efficient) way, not with IBM punch-cards specifically. I would say it is a bad and irrelevant example. Especially since the world has gone quite a bit away from "out-dated" punch-cards.
I am arguing that having a digitally-verifiable ID has 0 impact on the country's ability for surveilliance of you, since it does that without it, without much hindrance.
A digitally-verifiable ID only impacts your ability to prove your identity online. That's really all. And lack of it is just one symptom of an anti-progressive (whether slow, or inept, or purposely obtuse) country government.
That is quite a twist to use severely out-dated examples for the modern world of today.
The technology for mass data analysis is here and make no mistake all data about you is there in an NSA computer folder.
The question is, why the fuck can't the government give you a nation-backed digitally-verifiable ID number for you that is useful for you, when they have one of you anyway, because they gave you a passport/driving licence.
UV radiation is quite damaging (although part of the popular "summer tan" culture) on its own. However, we also receive higher energy photons (above UV: xray, gamma) as well as some energetic muons from the sun. You get a 4x of a daily dose of radiation if you grab a flight. Around that of an xray. All of which is mostly ignored by people.
You are correct that gamma ray radiation is by far the most damaging radiation. Beta and alpha radiation can be stopped by pieces of paper (or your skin), gamma radiation will go through your house, your car, your wife, hit a dna molecule in your hair follicle, and make that hair follicle permanently gray.
More interestingly, putting the "radioactive" seawater in perspective: tritium fizzles into some beta radiation, of 18kev energy. Assuming, magically, all this (beta radiation) energy was deposited perfectly into your DNA (nearly impossible because it is beta radiation), resulting in maximal damage, in somewhere important and not the dead layer of your skin, doing a tiny calculation we can compute this damage to be that of a photon of 0.07nm wavelength (18 kev), of similar energy used in simple xray imaging (CT imaging uses 5x higher energy). With 10 becquerels / liter, 100 liters of water surrounding you, could inflict a horrible dose of 24 (hours) * 3600 (sec / hour) * 10 x 100 x 18 kev * 1.60218e-16 (Joule / kev) / 70 (kilograms per human) = 3.55958619e-9 Sv in a day
That is a terrifying amount of 3.6 nSv. Almost close to 1/20 that of a banana you eat (I am not joking, just smiling heavily).
Fun facts: https://xkcd.com/radiation/
The fact that people talk about radioactivity in this news, and chinese being angry and the world going apeshit is...... unfathomable.
What? USB 2.0 is 480mbps. Much faster than most wifi routers (you need non-cheap 2x2 (i think) antenna to get >300mbps speeds on routers in ideal conditions).
dominion? Surely domino? I keep seeing people misspell words, by writing completely different words. Feels like we are getting surrounded by ChatGPT.
