@crunklord420 I first heard it a few years ago. I assumed it's zoomer speak, but it's less terrible English than usual, so they probably got it from a song lyric.
@iamtakingiteasy@lina@mint Is there a jeet tracker and blocker for github yet? They're doing this to gain credibility on their resumes, so projects preemptively blocking their accounts would be the most effective thing to do.
@graf@Tony@jb Yeah, if there's a problem actor then blocking it makes sense. But tracking and selectively doing that takes more effort than Gab blanket blocking VPNs. There's other ways to handle it, like PoW, buying mitigation, etc.
However Torba saying "the subversion and third-world scammers end now" means I'm probably wrong and he's not even doing it for DDoS. It's for IP/account tracking and lazy moderation.
@NitroDubs@sickburnbro Last I saw that polling, there was like a 20 point split between male and female (in the direction you'd expect). Maybe it's the sample makeup.
@sun@RustyCrab Yeah same, I had one with Mint and one with (I think) vanilla Debian. $170 in pre-Covid dollars, ran great, even if they couldn't handle my usual 50 tabs.
@RustyCrab@sun Chromebooks now are retarded. They only come in cheap gimped specs too weak to even run Linux well, or high end expensive models with touch screen and swivel and only middling specs. You could get 2 equivalent laptops for the same price as those.
