Fair.

It does make for a much more compelling allegory for society, as much like prison, it’s really hard to “exit” society.

While opting out of moderated social media is not difficult at all.

Right. Then I’ll just open up your banking history here on lemmy…

Oh wait.

And words have meaning. You can’t just point to their etymology and claim they can be used to refer to everything you consider slightly related.

The fact is, the word panopticon has very specific meaning, and specifically refers to prisons. And you didn’t even get it right. The original concept doesn’t involve constant surveillance, but the possibility of constant surveillance.

Otherwise every single room with someone wearing sunglasses in it, would be one, because you can’t tell whether that person might be looking at you at any given moment.

No. It’s a prison.

Moderated social media is not a prison. Lemmy does not make your financial history public. It does not make your whatsapp, telegram or signal messages public. It does not point a camera at your physical body for all to view at all times.

A panopticon is a prison model where surveillance is possible at all times, and nothing is private.

Moderated social media, is not a prison, and is not mutually exclusive with 100% private conversation outside any given platform, between any two individuals, or within any given group of individuals.

The reason PUBLIC forums need to be moderated is that otherwise they devolve instead of develop conversation.

In the private sphere, the equivalent action taken to mediate conversation is the ability for you to simply stop conversing with a given individual, or for a group to ostracize individuals that sabotage discourse.

Once you reach a group of large enough size, ostracizing no longer works, and you individually blocking someone does not prevent them from derailing topics for everyone else.

Too bad you can’t just draft military hardware.

Are you sure you’re not just getting back what you’re putting in?

My experience has been so completely opposite, I simply have to assume we are using the platform in some fundamentally different way.

What communities are you frequenting?

The ones I sub and post to have been nice.

Is it actually being used?

My guess it just doesn’t evict stuff from before the suspend, starts re-loading stuff after the resume, which makes the apparent amount “used” go up.

On a normal linux system, “free” RAM will over time drop down to zero, as the kernel puts the extra memory available to use. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t room to evict less-needed stuff if necessary.

AFAIK linux only starts actively evicting RAM once it fills up.

Like the other guy mentioned, drill down and see if you can find the actual program causing the problem.

We sure did, others have already commented.

lol

If you watch any interviews with Stubb, where he is asked about Trump, he gives answers that would please Trump.

But if you watch him talk about anything else, you can tell Stubb is way too smart to consider Trump anything other than a bumbling fool. It’s incredible that he’s able to clue people in, while even in person the idiot himself doesn’t realize.

He’s trying to walk the line of pleasing Trumps ego, while getting real work done.

He’s literally just been saying stuff along the line “here’s what president Trump needs to do (insert sane policy), but he’s so smart he doesn’t need me telling him that”.

And apparently it works.

Or steam, for PC.
