You’ve made my point well.

Absolutely I’ve already learnt it, and I don’t intend to stuff around translating. At first it’s one thing, maybe not cumbersome but then many things become a hassle.

Master and slave are not in and of themselves offensive words. You just assign offence to them, based on certain specific context, again proving my point.

Sometimes it’s not about typing.

In the electronics works the us a serial protocol called SPI Serial Peripheral Interface.

In schematics we might have a micro controller that connects to several sensors or memory chips on a pair of pins, 1 each for transmit and receive.

The micro controller is the master and the common nomenclature for the pin names is MISO and MOSI MasterInSlaveOut and MasterOutSlaveIn.

This overcomes confusion with regard to using things like TXD and RXD.

Wokeness has now suggested a bunch of alternatives.

PICO PeripheralInControllerOut and POCI… are the 2 leading alternatives.

Problem is I now have data sheets and schematics going back to the 1980s

It’s bullshit to me.

Words can have more than one meaning. Context and meaning matter.

I just want design cool electronics.

Some how I automatically read this in Greta Thungerg’s voice.

How dare you!

Why sell for so little? To make a point? If so then sell for the highest amount you can get then donate that to Ukraine.

All of this skills the point. This is a second drive that failed, it was the replacement for an earlier drive that failed.

That’s what the article is all about.

A high, unexpected and unreasonable failure rate.

This I’m totaly fine with. I hate being advertised to… really really hate it… … but if i see something i like and there is a subtle link in the message or a comment by OP that is totally fine.

Back when amateur content was popular on reddit it actually went well… I actually think the prominence of OF posters has put off the original amateurs.

I think if it’s done well both can co-exist with care and attention to rules. A pro OF community can permit OF advertisers if they want. But while having overt OF spam might add content, it will at the same time drive viewers away.

Also suggesting people that don’t want to be advertised to are anti sex work is stupid, and the few fools who have said as much are really just stupid.

I don’t like ads, any ads, and yet i still support businesses that advertise.

I have no issue with OF, but i don’t want to be overtly advertised to.

If i find myself in a /c where OF spam is out of control and the mods don’t wish to do anything about it then I’ll just move on.

Many NSFW Reddit subs turned to rubbish when OF users spammed the hell out of hundreds of subs, when where there content was not a match for the sub. If this happens here then it will suck as well.

I’m happy for OF users to post content appropriate to the /c they post in and include a link to their OF in the body or in a following message. But having a pair of tits posted in an anal /c along with 50 other /c’s with “My only fans 50% off right now” as the title… thats spam, clear as day, and it has no place.

And for those saying its content, there is no need to grow for the sake of growth, let’s rather grow naturally and at a steady pace and maintain some quality.

Yeah… Noticed that. I don’t like it, but that said won’t it be up to the users to see what survives and takes root?

I’d rather they didn’t exist, but at the same time the freedom of this kind of platform might be compromised if mods just start shutting down communities as they see fit.

I’m split 50/50 on this.
