I usually use chunks of rock salt pasted together with hardened lard
THAT IS NOT BACON!
]]>command line potatoes are very bland and i never eat them without butter and salt.
]]>that said-- given that i already know what a ban is, and that the definition that practically the entire planet was using until very recently happens to cover what is (allegedly!) going on here--
are you sure im the one who needs the tutorial here? either way! keep up the good work, documenting devuan always helps.
]]>What you have to understand is that dev1galaxy.org is actually build through a network of potatoes and copper wires. Extrenuous elements, like CSS and images, are offloaded through a private Windows 2003 server in China; but the transmission of text, what you're using to write your responses, it's all ripe Idaho potatoes.
Overall, this makes for a more secure network, because you can set up your own chain of potato nodes from your location to a nearby one -- the closest one to my area is only a hundred miles away or so. And because it's relatively obscure, government firewalls aren't blocking the potato transmission protocol, so PTP messages can still get through.
The downside (or upside, in your case) is that the ONLY thing users and moderators can do is send and read text, like we're doing now. Some of the more advanced forum features, such as banning, are impossible. The Debian forums might ban members for consistent offtopic tirades, but due to the potatoes' limitations, it is literally impossible to perform a ban here.
By now, you're probably thinking, "this is complete science fiction." You're wrong. Idaho potatoes have existed since at least the 1950s, following other scientific developments such as the Gutenberg printing press and the refrigerator. Still don't believe me? Check it out: photographic evidence of an actual Idaho potato. Where's that inflexible skepticism now?
In sum, it is absurd that members are accusing the forums of not being build through a matrix of underground potatoes. If that is the beliefs of certain members, it may do them well to spend some time on a potato farm, or consider creating a farm of one's own. But to say that infrastructures cannot, and ARE not, built on this tried-and-true networking framework is ignorance at its best. Do some research before commenting.
]]>But she is right, nobody has been banned (it is a legal statement authorized by the dyne.org legal department).
Stop spreading legally inaccurate lies figos!
Ohhh... One question.
Is an unbanned person really free to express his/her views? After what systemd did with the word free ... hey might as well use it for toilet paper these days.
I am living proof!
]]>Thanks golinux, you and the rest of the team are doing a pretty good job both running this forum and pushing out a solid product. There's nothing wrong with occasionally marking the boundaries - just so people know that they are there.
]]>NO ONE ON THIS FORUM HAS EVER BEEN BANNED!
This is a fact.
alright then, i withdraw my question.
]]>Stop lying and spreading alternate facts.
with whom should i address false accusations on the forum? i am most certainly not lying.
i note that ive been accused of misinformation, aggression and now outright lying. the problem is that there is no way to address this-- i can tell you im not lying, you dont care, youll just accuse me further. there is no process for resolving this. the "facts" are self-referential, evidence does not count.
you realise i have no real options here, just take whatever you say or leave it-- even if its about me?
how does one go about proving their "alternate facts" are not lies here? is such a thing possible? i would like to clear my name.
Feel free to move on and foul someone else's nest . . .
its very early for hobsons choice. i ask a question, i get accused of ill intent, i point this out, i get called a liar.
but im free to go? before i leave defeated, can i ask how you know that im lying?
