    I worry about this sometimes. I don’t ever want to be seen as speaking “for” minorities I’m not a member of, but I do want to be seen speaking “up for” them. And I worry about finding the right balance. I don’t want to speak over them, but do want to help make it clear that I support them and I am opposed to those who are opposed to them. I don’t want to be MLK’s “white moderate”.

    it has been a rethorical one trying do point out the case of US-defaultism

    No, I understood that. My reply was meant to be read as a rebuke to that idea. Because it isn’t an American day. It’s less observed in America than it is in many other countries. Claiming it to be US-defaultism relied on a mistaken assumption that because some Americans are talking about it, it must be a uniquely American thing.

    Ironically, your complaint about “US-defaultism” was itself the US-defaultism.



  • Often, but not always, yes. If the misunderstanding is reasonable and they had ample opportunity for an explanation but didn’t, then yes, it’s an idiot plot.

    If they legitimately didn’t have an opportunity to explain, or the explanation, while true, was completely unbelievable, that’s not an idiot plot IMO.



  • Oh very interesting. Thanks for being so patient! I had no idea about this. I always just assumed that if a device said it supported 100M, that necessarily meant that if you connect a 10M device up to it, it’ll automatically take the lower speed. Like a car with a max speed of 10 can go on a road with a speed limit of 100…it’ll just be limited to 10. I didn’t realise it had to sync up like that.





  • Sorry, what is a “modem delete”, and how does all of this work if you just don’t choose to buy a router from your ISP at the time you first order an Internet plan from them? Like, it’s included there as a standard option with most ISPs, and they have instructions that at the very least seem simple (usually just making sure you have PPPoE with the right connection details, or IPoE set) to use.






  • I’m a little stuck on permissions. I created a Space for my gaming group to move to Discord, and added a few rooms to it. I’m the admin, but I added a couple of other users as Mods. One of those mods added a Room to the Space. As a Space admin, I would expect to be able to edit a Room within my Space.

    Documentation I’ve been able to find about it is mixed. The Space itself has a setting that says Moderators should be able to manage Rooms:

    But various other threads have people suggesting it isn’t possible. Nothing clear in the official documentation I’ve found.

    My own experience: I haven’t figured out if it’s possible or how to do it. I want users in my Space to automatically see all the Rooms, so they don’t have to go and look any time a new Room is created. And for permissions on the Space to flow to control over Rooms within it. Is this possible, to your knowledge?
