it sucks enough just reading a website where it's mostly topics you're interested in posted by people you enjoy. imagine being forced to read only posts that nobody else wanted to read on topics you hate and posted by the worst people ever, who will try to track you down and harass you if you wrong them.

I wrote a slackbot for work once that support staff could use to inspect some stats for user accounts and because it was super easy I made it throw in a snapshot of some of the user's public user generated content as an image attachment in the slack reply. Then a senior guy from t&s parachuted in and pointed out to me that persisting user generated content even in internal-only super-private slack messages could cause no end of issues given some of the kinds of content users especially those who have come to the attention of support/t&s might be generating so I went back and with bowed head removed my cute free feature, and walked away from that whole interaction with a whole new appreciation and maybe commiseration for what the t&s people had to deal with all day.

Smart Anyway here's everything I know about trust and safety: 1) 2001-2003 era LiveJournal Abuse team (they were terrible) 2) When everyone whined about the lack of them on bluesky (the lack of t&s was terrible) So it sounds like no matter what, posting is just a miserable lifestyle choice to make.

7zip has failed with disk images before, it could open them but for some reason couldn’t fully unpack onto my drive and it had a habit of unpacking the archive one place and then copying it to the destination, and if you didn’t have tons of space this was an issue, and this is also a slower method it’s a long time ago so I can’t remember the specifics or maybe i’ve misremembered, but I tried winrar to fix these issue and since then I’ve never ever had an issue the ONLY thing I wish any of them had was shell content menu that told you what the end result of unpacking would be some archives have all the files in root and some have a single folder. without opening the file you cannot tell this, and I wish any of them would have a way of making it so regardless of how the person who made the archive made it, it’d unpack into a single folder in the same folder that you opened the archive in, and also didn’t create it with some old rear end date so that my folder that’s sorted by date doesn’t force it into some random space not at the top of the window
