@aral

@whitequark It’s when someone not called Richard abuses their power, gets discovered, and has to resign.

@WeirdWriter @aral Privileged enough to think they’re exempt, I suppose.

@lzg Every “leader” who demonstrates obedience in advance to the current lunacy should be barred from ever leading anything ever again🙊

@Viss Finally emails won’t find me anymore!

@mcc oxide.computer have their own Rust OS, fittingly named “hubris”. The debugger is called “humility” xD

@lindawoodrow @itzyg Fascists do.

@skinnylatte If I wasn’t too blind to safely go diving, I’d want to jump in there😅

@molly0xfff @catsalad Thankfully, the wikimedia foundation is funded for years to come. The edit wars I just saw flashing before my eyes are a whole other beast, though.

Coincidentally, I was just listening to a report about a sock puppet zoo revising history on German Wikipedia. Chilling stuff, but also a boost to respect towards serious Wikipedia editors. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/sockenpuppenzoo-angriff-auf-wikipedia/prolog-ep-00/swr-kultur/14060171/ (in German)

@Infoseepage @eniko @catsalad Oooh! I’ll have to watch that show! Thanks for sharing this vital information.

Same person: “If you lose your job to automation, that’s your problem. Shouldn’t have been a cashier!” Fucking hell, we need to teach empathy, (economic) class awareness, solidarity, and that trickledown economics are a scam in school…

Sometimes I struggle with believing people can be intelligent. $coworker: “If you want to abolish billionaires, nobody would want to work anymore, because they couldn’t get rich off of their own hard work!” My dude, *nobody* can become a billionaire without inheritance, *and* walking over bodies.

@kuketzblog Ich würde mit weniger Sorgen um Trump als um Vance machen. Der ist nämlich gesünder und intelligenter als Trump und in der Tasche der techno-faschistischen VCs rund um die Paypal-Mafia.

Stolen from the terrible site

@aral I’ve seen this with a bunch of German sites as well. They call it “Continue with ads” though.

@WarnerCrocker @blogdiva He pulled his support after learning Erik Ahrens is involved, but didn’t see a problem with an organization owned by Emil Kierkegaard? Kinda sus

@aral Germany would like to have a word. (Iirc we supply weapons, too.)

The good thing about more and more PISS* generated code is, that it replicates known vulnerabilities, so my bug hunting friends won’t be homeless over night

* plagiarized information synthesis system

@AnarchoNinaWrites One of my least favorite arguments I have on a regular basis goes like this:

Me: Everyone who supports the AfD is a fascist
Them: Nooo! Most of their voters are just protest voters!
Me: Do we agree that everyone who voted for, or joined the NSDAP was Nazi?
Them: Uhm… yes?
Me: How’s that different from the AfD?

After that it’s usually a couple more attempts to ignore or downplay the 16-19% Nazis in Germany until they either accept reality, or call me a red fascist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@whitequark Twitch plays Pokémon, but it’s fixing a broken Debian install
