The original intent was good. You make something, you can legally ensure people can't just copy your work and slap their name on it for profit. People could make creative works without fear of someone else ripping it away from them.

Then Disney just kept bribing politicians to extend it to a ridiculous degree so they wouldn't lose Mickey to public domain until they moved his likeness into their trademark, which lives as long as it's being used actively.

And then you have DMCA, where everyone is guilty until innocent and that whole can of worms, and DRM which is technically illegal to circumvent no matter how much time or what reason. Corporatization and the Internet turned that relatively simple and good ideas into an utter mess.

It's more like if you give someone random the power to jail someone without due process, we can all cheer as long as they use the power right. But then if we give that person the power, Hitler also gets the power and uses it to jail Jewish people.

and since the game was not designed with modern network tools in mind such as rollback (which would probably be too heavy for the Switch)

Rollback netcode has been around since Quake in the 90s. It's not a very new or computationally intensive technology, relatively speaking.

It's basically rule #1 to not give an addict money, but give them things they can't trade for material value instead.

If it goes one way, it can go the other way too. Imagine if a political party bribed some T1s with a ton of money to just not carry any messaging by their opponents, and force sites to remove it or go offline.

DVORAK is a keyboard layout that you can enable via your OS and use with a QWERTY keyboard. It's laid out with the most used keys on the homerow to reduce finger movement.

I've tried swapping to it a couple times. Problem is, you have to throw all of your established muscle memory in the trash to learn it. I kinda wish I'd learned it first in a sense, but QWERTY is so dominant that I'd be struggling anywhere I couldn't change layouts.

I made dedicated posts about it and corrected the mistake there, I missed this comment. Thanks for pointing it out.

At this point, the community is clean. So unless more is posted, then you should be good. If someone searched for the community and caused a preview to load while the content was active though, then it could be an issue.

From what I was informed, purging a post doesn't remove the associated cached data. So I didn't take any chances.

Not really. You could technically locate the images and determine precisely which ones they are from their filenames, but that means you actually have to view the images long enough to pull the URL. I had no desire to view them for even a moment, and just universally removed them.

As mentioned in my edit above though, ensure you are in compliance with local regulations when dealing with the material in case you have to do any preservation for law enforcement or something.

I'm on 1.18.4, once I deleted the most recent images, the former CSAM posts(among others) became broken images. So yes, it was pulling from local disk cache. Then I took care of the posts themselves after the content was invalidated.

Alma and Rocky aren't really distros intended for casual use, they're designed mainly with servers in mind. If you want an RHEL-based experience designed for a desktop, go with Fedora.

I used CentOS for my servers during CentOS6/7, but since they moved to Stream I run my servers on Debian or Ubuntu instead.
