  • Oof, strange that this site didn’t appear when I searched “great Sorting theory” with quotes. I know the quality of Google has gone downhill, but that’s a miss.

    Also, noting that brownstone is rated as having poorly checked facts, leans far right, and libertarian policy before I go in.

    Having skimmed the article, I see that the great Sorting theory states that COVID denialists are victims of government trod on by rules intended to keep the hospitals from overflowing.

    I see stated in the article that when we make large matters of policy, we should consider our feelings over reason and science, comparing lockdown to the atrocities of Nazi Germany and stalinist Russia.

    My reply is that all decisions should be well educated and be both logically reasoned and ethically sound. Telling people that decisions should be made emotionally and that Nazis use reason sounds like emotional manipulation.








  • If the drives are good, maybe. If not, you are looking at buying 4 drives from their compatibility list.

    Do you already have a storage server? I’m running TrueNAS on a computer I retired a few years ago. I have 4 1TB drives in it and am about to install a used SAS card I got from eBay for $40 to add up to 6 more. It should give me 8tb of space.


  • Not bad ideas, but the forced pop-up asserts that there must be something sensitive about a user’s post. I think maybe providing a few categories of sensitivity with their own drop-down boxes to select from.

    These are terrible options, but for sexual they could be: Suggestive - from making sexual motions or comments to our model above Nudity - non-pornographic, but nipples or genitals are seen Porn

    Violence seems to be a major category. Now sure about how to break it down

    Gore Minor Injury Medical procedure Violent - these are bad options, I said

    Politics is something people complain about, but I don’t know if that should be considered sensitivity or if we should attempt to break it down.

    Abuse This one is hard because by only selecting over category you rule others out. Is my abuse less than yours?




  • I think this is a good conversion to have. I enjoy images of women, but everyone doesn’t. I also don’t feel it’s fair to compare these images to porn and play morality police.

    It makes sense to break NSFW into a handful of tags and allow more granular control. The problem historically was that the number of tags kept growing and became hard to classify.

    The number of tags wouldn’t be much of an issue, but then it comes down to the OP to tag appropriately. Even with generic NSFW filter turned on, I still occasionally see genitals in my feed.

    We could allow users to tag, but I see brigading and other abuses possible here. Appointing power users also might work, but that has its own list of issues. That also would mean that all this information would need to synch with the post.
