My experience of checksums are in things like serial where they can potentially recover a corrupt bit.
I presume in the case of encryption, a checksum is more of a hash of the raw data? Like a one-way deterministic compute. Easy to get a hash of data, extremely difficult to get data from a hash.
In which case, it's fine. Passwords are hashed (granted, multiple times), but a cryptographically secure hash is not to be underestimated.

I think it's handguns and anything semi-automatic or automatic that are designed for violence.
Basically anything that makes it simple to shoot more than twice, or makes it easy/convenient to carry.

Bolt action or double barrel shotguns are for hunting or actual self defence.
They are tools.

Pump actions, handguns, semi-autos and automatics are for "I have made a very bad mistake".

If your rifle is semi-automatic, have there ever been actual occasions where you have gone "thank god this is semi-automatic"?

Same as a 4x CPU with 8GB ram VPS.
Unless bandwidth is a limiting factor.
But the quality of a website is about code. Not about hardware

A page could load thousands of images and thousands of tiny CSS files.
None of that is JS, all of that is loads of extra requests.

Never mind WASM. It's a portable compiled binary that runs on the browser. Code that in c#, rust, python, whatever.
So no, JS is not the only way to poorly implement API requests.

Besides, http/2 has connection reuse. If the IP and the TLS cert authority is the same, additional API/file etc requests will happen over the established TLS connection, reducing the overhead of establishing a secure connection.

Your dislike is of badly made websites and the prevalence of the browser being a common execution framework, and is wrongly directed at JS.

But that should come under equity.
There should be funding to help you.
I think it's fine to be criticise badly implemented DEI.

I don't think the argument is worth having.

Only thing I will say is that the audio world has no common meaning for a slave.
Programming does.

Locking a thread that gets heated and goes wildly off topic is normal moderating actions.
It stops any kind of inflow of rule breaking, it stops all arguments, and it gives mods time to sort out what's happened.
If an new/inexperienced mod encounters something they don't know how to handle, locking is the safest bet. It keeps the content, prevents escalation.

The behaviour afterwards is what defines if the mods support bigotry or not.

Ideally the mods wade through the bullshit, delete the bigotry comments and ban the bigots with the reason of "being a bigot". Then release a post saying that bigotry is not tolerated, and make any changes to rules that are appropriate. Consulting the community where appropriate, and being as transparent as possible.
All of this takes time. Locking a post is the first stage.

By creating a second thread with more similar content, the OP is subverting moderators trying to moderate.
There is already a thread that got out of hand, which mods are struggling to deal with.
By creating ANOTHER thread, it doubles the mods workload. The expected mod action would be to lock it instantly with a comment stating they are tidying up an existing post, clarifying rules, and will contact OP when they can safely repost. Next best thing is to just delete it.

The correct response from OP would be to ask for a public comment why the original thread was locked.
This would prompt a moderator comment - hopefully - that they are dealing with it, and will give a timeline of expected deadlines.

It's not the mods that are bigots, it's that Reddit is a cesspool. And fun communities can easily be overwhelmed if targeted.
If the mods hadn't encountered this behaviour before, then they have to figure out - amongst themselves and with the community - how to proceed.

I wasn't there, I can't be arsed reading Reddit bullshit. From the context you've given, I've come to the above conclusion.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of psycs that study 4chan.
But the prime directive means they can't interfere and offer help

Sounds like ICE needs more prisons. Don't bother with buildings. Just fences and tents. Might as well get free labour from them as well, seeing as they will just be sitting around doing nothing.
As for expanding monitoring programs, I feel some sort of yellow badge that immigrants must wear.

Obviously, I am describing concentration camps and the badges the Nazis made Jews wear.
Just to continue highlighting similarities.
I just wanted to make it clear that my suggestions are sarcasm, and yet the parallels are really fucking scary.

I disagree.
Saying "this is a scam" with the links visible is more transparent. If the scam changes but the links are similar, it will hopefully raise a red flag for someone.

Blurring them does nothing other than obfuscating the details of the scam.
Shine light onto the darkness and document it.

I feel like spez is swallowing billiard balls to be ready to accomodate musk

Loads. I don't know if there is a list anywhere.
Could probably drag up DNS records or cert records, if it's not all wildcards
