What does being conservative have to do with being racist?

I said it's relatively easy. Having both trust and anonymity online is significantly harder than in real life.

However, it is easier to pick one of those and have it online then in person. In real life, total anonymity is really hard. But online you can just use tor or something.

Honestly, I think he should just get the fine and maybe some community service. It's not like he did some terrible evil thing, he simply caused a tiny amount of damage to huge ancient structure.

Why should he lose 5 years of his life over something simple like this? Just give him a big fine that makes him regret it, and he won't do it again.

Hashing only works if the website stores their passwords correctly. If a single website you use doesn't hash passwords correctly, and gets their database leaked, then your passwords will all be leaked. Changing a few characters per site may help a bit, but it shouldn't be relied on.

Also, if you're worried about the host shutting down, you should try bitwarden. It's completely open source, and you can self host it if you want.

Because in real life, it's (relatively) easy to have both anonymity and trust. Online, it's impossible to have both. If you want to trust that the vote numbers haven't been tampered with, you necessarily need to know everyone who voted.

This is the fundamental problem with online voting.

If we are banning a community for being pro-trump, then we also need to ban every community that is pro-biden, pro-obama, pro-abraham-lincon, pro-george-washington, etc.

How much do you interact with that stuff? If you watch the video, and especially interact in the comments, YouTube will show you more of it. If there's something you don't want to see, just press do not recommend, and move on.

Engagement is useful for creators, not YouTube.

That seems like more of an issue with software, rather than hardware.

The majority of ad views come from scrolling through feeds. When I click on a Reddit link, I don't even see any ads. By going restricted, that sub will quickly stop showing up in users feeds. This will cause them to get bored faster, and give less ad views.

1 request on Reddit's api is the same price as 120-160 tokens with ChatGPT, or 4-8 tokens with GPT-4.
