nichos··on Digg is gone again
I agree on all counts. But the Donald was banned for mostly on topic posts. Reddit is a private business and they can do what they want, but there's consequences to their actions too. reddit has become an echo chamber now.

It is hard to identify though, someone is always offended by something. Free speech is about protecting speech you hate, not speech you agree with.
nichos··on Digg is gone again
Who decides what "hate" is though? Does it switch with every administration? Free speech, including "hate speech" should be allowed, as long as it doesn't violate the law (calls to violence, etc)

nichos··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
Great response! Its very trendy to say things like "capitalism is gross" or "billionaires shouldn't exist" but the truth is, capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than anything else in the history of the world. Moreover, billionaires (Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc) didn't "steal" anything from you to get there. No one forced you to buy an iPhone.

Why? What power? Being rich (billionaire rich) is fine as long as you didn't steal it from someone. Who are we to say how much money someone can have?

nichos··on Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move
I wish 1 or more HD manufacturers would get together and sell a NAS that runs TrueNAS on it. Or even an existing NAS manufacturer (UGreen, etc)

All these NAS manufacturers a spending time developing their own OS, when TrueNAS is well established.
