Congrats, this is probably the stupidest comment in this thread. And that’s an accomplishment

There’s no evidence that CSAM, real or virtual, helps reduce rates of child predation.

Assuming this is true (it’s not), that doesn’t mean it should be banned. Video games don’t reduce rates of violence, or child predation. Should those be banned too?

Not to mention that AI pedophilia could simply be creating a massive stepping stone to the real thing.

Just like violent video games, right?

Which I’ve also seen a number of people on Lemmy defend people possessing CSAM and saying they didn’t produce it therefore they aren’t the criminal.

Point them out

That is addressing your point. These people need to get psychological help.

What help do you think exists for these people? And what if CG porn is that help

If we accept CG CSAM then what else? Gore porn? Snuff? Bestiality? How about a child being sexually assaulted and mutilated by animals at the same time?

You mean CG stuff? Why would any of that be a problem? Who is being hurt?

Wouldn’t it also be a conflict of interest if they were renters? How can someone not have any interest in housing?

Not doing any work is not improving society

Life is based on assumptions. It’s a good assumption to assume people online speaking English is from America

Just pick a distro. It sounds like you want to learn. I suggest arch. It does the least for you, is the least opinionated, but also has by far the best documentation (arch wiki is the de facto linux documentation).

The difference between the distros is otherwise simply what package management tool they use, and what packages are in their repository. Nothing else is different that’s of any importance.
