@vitaut I'd like to know who thought it was a good idea to symlink vi to vim ... A decision that just adds more blood to this confusion

@tragivictoria @tartley @mossman @mullvadnet sorry for my ignorance. I'm not a Brit and not living in GB ... Just saw TV and ads and thought of BBC.

@mullvadnet BBC is about to learn something about the Streisand effect now ...

@endorama It certainly was not intended to add more burden to anyone.

I would not call it a cultural problem. It's purely lack of decent and respectful behaviour. And it shouldn't be needed to call out such behaviours at all.

And that was what I was thinking of with my reply ... A "simple" approach to tackle such behaviour is to quickly disable the possibility for further interaction. Reporting and blocking can be tedious and with limited reach. More like, "Would you have used a button to stop this person from troubling you and your followers?" And "From your experience, what action could such a button provide which would have a chance to improve your situation?"

I have not experienced other users behaving that badly towards me, so I wouldn't know what could possibly make a real difference.

Such behaviours won't go away ignoring it, nor just blocking individual users. Blocking domains won't be a good solution either in many cases.

If we can't discuss these things, nothing will improve in the end.

First of all, I'm getting quite p**sed off that so many people can't behave decently when stiing behind a keyboard. I get an urge to pull such people out of their bedrooms and drag them through the city, in a proper mediaeval punishment style. 👿 👿 👿 .... unfortunately, I also realise that it probably won't have the wanted effect or being appropriate in so many other levels.

That said ...

Which feature do YOU feel Mastodon is missing to properly contain, imprison and block such douchebags from making your and our lives here so poor?

Maybe the amount of efforts required to handle the classifications of users and instances will still be way too much. But maybe that could be a real use case for AI?

@tony @bloor Oh, I believe you're slightly wrong here.

The designer behind these cables knows a thing or two about psychology and how business economy works .... 😉

@vitaut I don't fully understand ... But isn't that the purpose of Haskell ?!? .... 🦆🦆🦆

@the

Even 25 years ago, just "zero" a drive was not considered enough. It would still be possible to recover data through. That's why the military wiping standards at that time required at least 7 cycles of 0x00, 0xff and random data. And then preferably demagnetising the drive.

Later demagnetising equipment became even stronger and got certified for top secret data handling, so just sending the drive through those devices was considered good enough.

All of this was for magnetic storage medium. SSDs and non-volatile storage modules is a completely different beast to tackle.

Deleting data is hard. It's like trying forgetting something you've seen or heard. Computers doesn't make this task easier.
