Just for context, minetest was recently renamed to Luanti, which is why the website url and downloads say that.

I think that's something Apple does, actually, where apps give explanations for every permission they ask for. No idea about allowing them later or if they state if they're necessary though.

The guidelines literally have the text

We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation

It looks like clickbait, but they actually wrote that into their policy.

I don't use a foldable phone... But you can't put a tablet into your pocket. It's meant to be the dimensions of a phone, just much thicker, so it fits into your pocket, while letting you fold it out to have double the screen size. For all the issues they have, that's a very reasonable and somewhat appealing feature.

NSFW is probably a matter of instance and preferences (not sure if filtering NSFW might be enabled by default)

But star trek? What the hell? That seems to be one of the largest communities on the entire platform, and with high quality content and lots of interaction, how did you not see it? Is your instance defederated or something?

What they're describing is the kind of thing where the "last-gen" iteration/definition of AI, as in pretrained neural networks, are very applicable - taking in various vitals as inputs and outputting a value for if it should be alarming. For simple things you don't need any of that, but if you want to be detecting more subtle signs to give an early warning, it can be really difficult to manually write logic for that, while machine learning can potentially catch cases you didn't even think of.

Or, hear me out, maybe people were tied of way too many posts in the community being about recent politics, so moderators took action on that?

It's not a good look to be broadly banning those words, but it seems to me like there's a reasonable and obvious expansion.

I rather like the sound of "a woman by choice", since it implies she is a woman, that it is a choice, and that the choice does apply. I'd be curious to hear opinions from trans people about that, but it seems very respectful.

I wonder if there's a bias from successful attempts not being known about if the people can sneak away

If you want to make that argument, you have to account for all the other bodies in the solar system... Which I think then becomes a hard problem to predict the movements thereof in the long term?

Skip the planet sized computer, build a matrioshka brain around your star!

From the very first video in glorious... Was it 240p? Well, since the very early days he's had this great vibe of an edutainment program with the host being a metallic alien with holograms and stuff, and it's definitely part of the appeal. You claim he could get more followers by dropping the whole gimmick, but I have to question how many regular viewers he might lose if he stops it.
