They have from some instances with questionable content but not many others without questionable content. The question is do you persecute someone because you think you would be badly affected if they commit a crime in the future, even though they haven’t so far and doesn’t seem to be on the path to either?

Why stop there, why not defedrate from all NSFW communities because they could post questionable content in the future?

That’s not what the poster is talking about. Whether the piracy subreddit or the lemmy community, there are strict rules about sharing copyrighted content, asking for it or posting links to it. These communities are about discussing different technologies around BitTorrent, usenet or debrid and how to leverage them to share content.
All of the above can be used for perfectly legal reasons such as sharing Linux ISOs or public domain media.
If you use those to pirate copyrighted content that’s your decision.
Calling these communities illegal and blocking them is akin to schools not permitting students to use backpacks or lockers because they could be used to hide guns.

I’m perfectly willing to pay what I pay for the actual news paper for the subscription. The subscription turns out to be about 10x.

Your map made me think how interesting US would be if there were 4 major political parties. Maybe no one will win the presidential election 🤔

Agree. Uncountable infinities are much more mind blowing. It was an interesting journey realising first that everything like time and distance are continuous when learning math the then realising they’re not when learning physics.

Oh fuck you. I’m going to insert this in place of 20 in some formula and see people have breakdowns.

Geometric interpretation of integration is really fun, it’s the analytic interpretation that most people (and I) find harder to understand.
If you work in numerically solving integrals using computers, you realise that it’s all just adding tiny areas.
I finally understand what divergent integrals are intuitively when I encountered one while trying to do a calculation on a computer.

Incompleteness doesn’t come as a huge surprise when your learn math in an axiomatic way rather than computationally. For me the treacherous part is actually knowing whether something is unprovable because of incompleteness or because no one has found a proof yet.

🤣 I remember hearing that for the first time and thinking wtf are they talking about.
