Re: Lauda has Broken the GuideLine of the Trust System by theymos own words, ban her
The internet def needs a censor resistant forum. Reddit just went full retard and locked a sub with 400,000+ users of which 20,000 were online at any given time. Its not just the mods here that like to abuse their power.
Frankly, it's embarrassing to have so many developers and computer wizards here and not have things like encrypted messaging or ip masking built into the site, or just basic protections to the users and the intellectual property. The degrees of freedom are lacking and the abuse runs rampant. My use of this site declines everyday, and trying to find informative discussions is becoming harder and harder. It makes me wonder how many have been driven off so this place can become an echo chamber.

Very true. Our world has gone insane. Another example is Github just allowed me to banned on a very important topic about how Node.js will transition from the old module system (CommonJS) to the new ECMAScript ecosystem-wide standard one.
The gatekeepers there are clearly wrong. They should not create a new JavaScript file extension (breaking many things) just so they can conflate require and import. The new EMCAScript standard module system should not be shoehorned (forced unnaturally) to interopt with the old one. They are forcing very bad design onto a very large ecosystem and I am very confident I will be vindicated in the end.
All centralized databases must die. I intend to kill Github, Reddit, BCT, Facebook, etc.. I am working (as many hours a day as possible) on the foundational technologies. Note that link only updates every few hours so activity so far today does not yet appear (at the time of posting this).
As the sovereign debt collapse worsens in 2018 to 2020, we are going to see massive increase in totalitarianism and people will think that it does not bother them (until it does then it will be too late for them). When you burn the books of free speech, society collapses into a 600 year Dark Age.
P.S. Hahaha. If you think I am blunt...

Kudos to elder ESR.
