• You are talking about tildes, I am sure. You were complaining because you were banned for suggesting killing Nazi people.

  I did not reply regarding tilde itself: I have never used the service. Either way, the ban makes sense to me: do not suggest killing people.

  I gave advice on how to handle situations and on how a situation when you meet a Nazi may be handled. You may disagree with me on that, that is fine.

  But I doubt you go around killing Nazis with your car very often.

  Do you know what a bar that serves nazis is called? A nazi bar.

  No. Just a normal bar. At this point to be fair I don’t even know what you’re referring to as Nazi. There are neonazists in several countries indeed, I guess you refer to those.

  Those are people who live their lives, they have a terrible ideology in their mind. Starting to violently attack them for no reason would lead them to get more defensive, closed and ready to fight.

  Having a chat with them and reasoning about their problems may lead to some of them opening up.

  That does not mean you should not defend yourself need should come, as I said I had experience with that.

  From your reply I read you do not have much experience with this. If you do not, do not go around telling people to hit people with their car. If you do, why the hell are you telling people to hit Nazis with their car?

• As you can see from my message above, I’m not completely against violence.

  But if that’s the way you conduct your life, I’m afraid you’ll soon end up in jail.

  If that is not the case then you either never see nazis, which is not so common these days, or you’re speaking empty words.

  I had those kind of confrontations which end up in people picking up sticks and taking out knives with congregations of neofascists in order to protect the integrity of places, in periods in which those were being targeted and it was quite common to hear someone from your circle of friends had gotten murdered while getting back home.

  What are you talking about?

  on Any significant changes to Tildes are extremely unlikely - ~tildes.official [Reddit Alternative] in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026

• Please, do not murder nazis. They are not in any position of power. If you meet one of them in isolation, try to talk with them and understand their reasons, then explain your ideas.

  If you meet a group of them, have a beer with them and have a chat.

  If you meet a group of them attempting to perpetrate violence, call to your network of contacts, organize immediately and beat the shit out of them.

• The only reason I may order food from a place which has pictures in their menu is if it is some kind of exotic cuisine which is mostly unfamiliar and thus I’d need a picture to understand what I’m ordering.

  Otherwise, AI or not, there’s no way a restaurant with pictures in their menu is going to be decent.

  on Side of slop? Bizarre AI food images jump from online to IRL menus in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026

• I can understand how this business may work as I worked in graphics for years.

  But still, in my opinion a good menu has no pictures: today we have this and this and this, the price is this.

  That’s all I need to know and that is how I know the place is good. The moment when a restaurant needs to take pictures of their food to attract customers, I have no reason to believe their food has an acceptable quality level.

  If a restaurant has enough employees as to have a manager, why would you ever go in such a place to eat? A restaurant either has an owner or it is a chain, if it is a chain the quality is not going to be good.

• Such decisions are taken by adults, not by minors. Adults discuss their opinions and work out what is the consensus on a certain topic. Then adults get together and organize to change laws in such a way as to reflect that consensus.

  “With someone their age” is key.

  No, I wrote quite a few more things in my reply.

• Fair, I guess I’d also want some ram if I did not have access to a compute cluster.

  But to be fair, for what I do I don’t really think you can fit that much ram on a consumer motherboard.

  In machine learning I don’t generally find memory to be the bottleneck, as long as the GPU can handle it.

  But sure, opening huge files can be big trouble.

• Plenty countries place the age of consent at 15 years.

  I get why you consider this pedophilia, but it’s a bit iffy in my book. 14 years old is just one year younger than what many countries do not consider pedophilia.

  Indeed we all agree that raping an adolescent will most likely mark them for life.

  On the voluntary side it is a bit different to evaluate. I definitely do not think everyone over 14 should immediately take part in sex.

  However I see nothing wrong with a 14 years old having sex with someone their age. On the other hand, having sex with someone older is not something I’d always condemn, but I would do that in many occasions. That is why in most cases the laws regarding age of consent strongly defend the minor.

• What is the need of 192GB?

  I often execute calculations on a cluster where I’ll need some 500-1000 GB of ram. But I have 32 GB in my workstation and I never felt I needed more.

  Everything I need to do I can do: I can be having many browser tabs open, several IDEs, compiling and have a game engine open at the same time.

  Only times I fill the ram is when I stress test my software for ram usage, but that is to be expected.

• I guess it does if you live in a shit country with a shit job.

  I very much prefer to work in the office. First of all I don’t have a dedicated office in my house, and I do not want to work in my living room.

  I walk 20 minutes to the office and chat with my colleagues. I see no reason why not seeing your colleagues in person would make your life better.

  If I need a day off, I take a day off. It happened plenty of times to me that the same day I get busy with something important and I’ll just call the job and tell them I’m not going to work.
