Yes, because normal people always throw PCs away when they stop getting security updates.
it's not even that retarded an argument! If you don't think about it, it could appear to make perfect sense instead of being bullshitese for a problem that isn't real but taps into moral outrage about how wasteful every day is under capitalism.
As I've been noticing it more across lemmy, what word did you type that got changed to "removed"?
The one I've seen is a swear but most others aren't censored, and it seems to be an automated thing.
Edit: I suspect I figured it out so that's at least 2 words, one a debatable slur and one an obvious swear but with no socio-political implications otherwise.
The censorship only happen in lemmy.ml. If you look a the exact comment in another instance (e.g. https://lemmy.world/comment/8291179 ), it's not censored at all. Lemmy.ml is probably applying censorship directly in their local database.
