@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev the odds of that go up logarithmically with the number of users

so vlhl with 2 users will see the heat death of the universe before such an incident happens, zoner with 10-20~ will also probably observe the radioactive half life decay of bismuth before that happens

but soc.ocklovers.xxx with 1,000 users will see it in the next four years. (made up domain)

forgot how good these are

Shuhei Yoshida is quoted in a post-retirement interview stating "It also adds additional income, because porting to PC is way cheaper than creating an original title. So, it’s almost like printing money. And that helps us to invest in new titles now that the cost of games has increased."

saw stop patents expired in 2021 and since 2022 we've seen a gigantic boom in different saw stopping mechanisms many of which don't destroy the blade or require contact with your hand (in some cases, both) to turn off.

saw stop sued the living shit out of competitors with that patent.

anyway this is your reminder that patents do not encourage innovation they stifle it.

oh, it's a cdn hit checker? ok bud.

as a general PSA: your ip is not private info, and it doesn't dox where you are at. a cdn hit is based on your IP so in essence it only reveals your general area but not your exact location.

often it's just the nearest city which you can already figure out based on minimal social engineering such as talking about weather, sleeping patterns, general habits. (if you're in a small country or a 3rd world country or ANZ it might not even be in the same country.)

this is a nonsense zero day, but if you care just use a vpn*

there's two explanations to this

1. they got found out and are backpeddling-- fascists in disguise
2. they don't actually fact check any of their own claims-- disinformation

@KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz at least they're dealing with corruption, as wild as it is better than re-electing a felon.

also don't use slurs :neobot_pensive:

becoming a Korean president is like having your name put in the death note.

- Syngman Rhee: impeached and exiled to Hawaii. (11 years)
- (Acting) Ho Chong: survived, started a revolution (50 days)
- (Acting) Kwak Sang-hoon: survived (7 days)
- (Acting) Ho Chong (the same one:) survived (46 days)
- (Acting) Baek Nak-jun: 5 days (kicked out because Japan sympathiser)
- Yun Po-sun: Resigned after a military coup (1 year)
- Park Chung Hee: Assassinated by best friend (17 years, military coup general)
- Choi Kyu-hah: survived another military coup, resigned (1 year, only candidate)
- (Acting) Park Choong-hoon: survived (15 days)
- Chun Doo-hwan: sentenced to death for treason, but died before execution (7 years)
- Roh Tae-woo: sentenced to life in prison, was pardoned. (5 years)
- Kim Young-sam: survived (5 years, first civilian president since the coup roller coaster, second most hated Korean president of all time.)
- Kim Dae-jung: resigned due to pneumonia (5 years)
- Roh Moo-hyun: impeached and jailed for 20 days, resigned (1 year)
- (Acting) Goh Kun: survived but retired from politics forever (64 days)
- Roh Moo-hyun: he's back!!! impeached again, arrested and suspended (4 years)
- Lee Myung-bak: Impeached and sentenced to jail for 17 years, pardoned (5 years)
- Park Geun-hye: Impeached and sentenced to jail for 24 years, pardoned (4 years, most hated Korean president of all time)
- (Acting) Hwang Kyo-ahn: survived (150 days)
- Moon Jae-in: survived (5 years, he's a human rights lawyer now and wants reform, kinda based)
- Yoon Suk Yeol: Impeached and arrested (2 years)
- Han Duck-soo: Impeached (14 days)
- Choi Sang-mok: probably will survive (so far 5 days)

So of the 23 or so presidents, only 13 were elected. 7 have been impeached, one was assassinated, three resigned and two are put in power following military coups.

Aside from acting presidents, only 2 survived with their careers and lives intact.

South Korea just submitted the arrest warrant for former president Yoon Suk Yeol.

They had 180 days to make it happen, they did so in 28 days. This is with Han Duck-soo (the former acting president) refusing to appoint judges to the impeachment case (and subsequently being impeached and removed from office.)

The current acting president, Choi Sang-mok appointed judges four days after becoming president. And the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol was made six hours later. Han Duck-soo likely to be arrested later this week.

@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev it also hurts neurodivergent people who often come off as reply guys/girls/people because we show that we relate through sharing similar experiences (like this reply) or are confused by some part of the post and want more detail.
