It’s not porn, it’s mixed use technology. The persons decentralized LORA radio messaging platform, is another persons disaster resilience platform, is another persons hobby project, is another persons anti censorship tool, is another persons improvised frontline communications tool, is another persons counter-terrorism ai ban hammer trigger.


LinkedIn's message is:

> Message removed for adult nudity and sexual activity


That is probably the default message for anything that was flagged.


That would be totally stupid, although I guess it's possible.


>It’s not porn, it’s mixed use technology.

Edge/edging ... of course it's a porn flag.


Good thing he didn't call it "me and my stepbro are playing with each other's antennas"


I want to see MS getting themselves banned from their own platform, for discussing their own browser there.


Primitive filters. You'd expect LinkedIn to do better than that. Seems like a classic Scunthorpe Problem.

WOW that's the reason? I didn't catch that, that's both hilarious and disheartening. Dijkstra is rolling in his grave... I suppose we'll have to move from "nodes and edges" to, idk, "dots and lines", kinda like TikTok has created "unalive"?


Can't wait to see what the almighty AI thinks about the Tits problem![1]

Or the Tits group[2] (I swear, I'm not a member!).

Very tempted to include Tits Alternative[3] as one of my interests on LinkedIn, but I'm afraid the result will be too predictable.

Side note: The two groups that don't satisfy the Tits Alternative are very dear to my heart. Writing software to do computation in Thompson's Group and its generalizations[4] was my introduction to geometric group theory. And I ended up with Grigorchuk as my graduate advisor after learning about the Grigorchuk group.

Or copper nanotubes. The classic nanotubes are made from carbon (C), called CNTs. The copper (Cu) are called CuNTs.

Or the lazy/eager divide in theoretical computer science: it's difficult to study without a close investigation of topless models' bottoms.


Or how main branch has replaced master branch. Despite “mastering” and “master recordings” still being a thing in audio.

All these DAW companies insisting on devs using main branch despite having “mastering” plugins in their actual product.
