32 and I'm guessing my sciatica is angry because my right testicle hurts whenever my lower back hurts.... Am I you? Is my nut gonna fall off? How do I cancel the agreement with Beelzebub?

Imagine how I feel right now, I bought 16 used 20tb Seagate drives around September last year for $200 each, from Amazon, and finally built my dream NAS after a decade of waiting and planning. I don't understand how I got so lucky but I did. They're all working just fine, and I somehow avoided having to wait another decade to finally build my NAS due to random capitalism gold rush bullshit. Praise be.
This sounds like a step towards computer vaccines, and I'm not about to let my computer get autism, thank you.
Ok so you're just absolutely unhinged, got it. How old are you? You're against airplanes in a very black-and-white way. Millions of people use airplanes daily, you know? I just happened to be boarding my plane back home when I saw this brainrot post. You know nothing else about me other than I was boarding a plane while typing this, so you're way too quick to jump to conclusions about people, which is.... Immature. Greta's decisions regarding travel are commendable, but not everybody is able to spend money and time opting for boats instead of airplanes.
As for the rest of your comment..... Who tf said anything about killing anyone??? If you cannot agree on a simple concept such as moderation in the context of an online platform, then you have no place questioning the way this or any platform works, at least not without sitting down and learning about online platforms, or basic human decency, first. Extremist & childish tales such as "we kill all the offenders" is exactly how we're in this mess of a worldwide situation to begin with, not to mention it's such a tangential answer to my very straightforward question of, what do you do about people posting things nobody should post, while not knowing who posted it and not being able to prevent them from doing it again, all in the name of privacy or freedom of speech. TOR is a great tool for very specific people, that happens to also facilitate lots of nasty shit online. There's enough nasty shit on Tor, or on unmoderated niche sites. We don't want the bad rep from potentially allowing CSAM into a social network looking to bring in new people into it. Lack of moderation is exactly how you end up killing a platform.... But I don't think you want to listen to reason on this.
What I need to understand is how you envision a 0-censorship community working when there's content that should at all times be censored, like CSAM. I don't hear solutions to these cases, or even an acknowledgement that not all content should be protected from any sort of moderation, just complaints about content being moderated at all. Furthermore, you keep accusing everyone of arguing in bad faith but we're all just saying the normal shit every other Lemmy user knows about Lemmy and ActivityPub.
And if I missed some point of yours, which seems like you think most of us are, blame it on laziness or smith, I'm boarding a plane and can't be bothered
Unexpected behavior, leading to unexpected inputs to systems, often leads to failures. Put simply, nobody thought X would happen on Y service or at Z level, so nobody wrote code to handle that scenario. May sound crazy at first, but it's quite hard to cover all possible scenarios when writing code..... Or with life in general.
I don't know if this argument holds, considering people already consider and frequently do move over between macOS and Windows. If they can stomach the transition from Windows to MacOS, they can absolutely stomach Linux.
A big problem, I think, is that people may not always choose the best DE for them. I've yet to end up on the terminal for amything on KDE, while I had a multi-week troubleshooting session on my Mac mini to get a wireguard tunnel to be connected by default, something that's like, an extremely easy task on Linux.
To be completely, entirely honest, I'm pretty sure I've ended up on the terminal for linux-specific issues FAR less than on Windows. There's so much less tinkering to do on Linux if all you want is an experience not too alien from what you're used to, which KDE offers to Windows users.
The real issue, I think, is that Linux is just a different ideology. There's people making sure everything works together, but for the most part each component of your desktop experience might be owned by a different team with different responsibilities, and you're able to change a lot of those things as you please. I had never considered using anything other than windows explorer as a file browser in my 3 decades using Windows, but on Linux it might as well be one of your first 5 decisions. I never liked the Mac UI so I never even considered MacOS, and that was waaaay before I started considering the corporate/closed-garden issues around it. On Linux, Mac Users can go for their look, Windows users cans go for their look, and people looking for a new experience can have the time of their lives going down obscure rabbit holes with tons of very different and functional DEs. These can be the biggest positives, but often look like the biggest negatives of Linux because we're trained to think computers work only the way Microsoft and Apple want them to work. We've been trained to accept a chewed, pre-digested version of the digital world, and sometimes have to be inconvenienced a bit to remember how much more power we have on our hands if we decide to care even a little bit.
