Search for Aisha, a child wife he took. If I remember correctly he married her at 6 years old, but waited until she was 9 to ‘consumate’ the marriage.

Does studying the occurrences and causes of genocide make you unable to correctly identify them? I would think it to be the opposite, them being able to better identify and understand current genocides or events and actions that might lead to one.

Slavery has been an institution in almost all if not all contries at some point. That doesn’t make it any less horrible, that other atrocities are also common doesn’t make them less atrocious either.

Well done

I really like his content as well, and even though there are lots of spoilers if you haven’t read the books, he has convinced me of reading (when i get the time) quite a few books I wouldn’t otherwise have known about or noticed.

It’s probably not, but let’s say that replying to a comment deep in a thread required an update to every parent comment (very unlikely), if the attackers knows this they could trigger that very expensive SQL query many times very quickly by letting some bots comment many times to create a very deep comment chain and force the server to make the queries. If the server didn’t, it would either mean that no one could comment in that way it would have to know what is and isn’t an attack which isn’t easy.

I think the sentence they are referring to is the sentencing in the trial, not a sentence as in a string of words.

I have tried a lot, the three min ones I keep coming back to are jerboa, connect and liftoff. They all have pros and cons and I like each and alternate between them. Liftoff is a continuation of lemur by the way. Lemur was abandoned but someone else picked it up and develop it further, providing frequent updates.

It does not. It in large part scales with the amount of content the local and federated communities. So because many users will subscribe to many of the same communities, more users will add less extra cost aftter a point. This is a bit simplified though as it also scales with users but to a lesser degree from my understanding.

Disclaimer: I’m not hosting myself just to be clear but this is what I have gathered from answers to similar questions as well as my own experience as a software dev.

I’ve posted as much here in three weeks as i did on Reddit in three years. That’s one post, but still. I am trying to be more active though to keep lemmy active and because it just feels more meaningful here.

I’m trying out connect for lemmy at the moment. I find it more stable than jerboa and quite nice over all, though I dislike some design aspects.

Ignorance and overconfidence in one self can lead to decisions that puts one in danger. If he didn’t understand the risks, overestimeted his control over the situation (as very rich people are prone to do) or simply surrounded himself with too many yes-men, then hi might not have thought he put himself in as much danger as he did. On the other hand he could also just see himself as an explorer and seeking rhe thrill as many of the dead bodies on Everest once did.

I’m sure there are many reasons he could have gone into that sub despite having been told the risk. I of course can’t know for sure, but it does seem more likely in light of his comment than without it.
