Hi! If you have a link to an article about someone that has been kidnapped or otherwise imprisoned without trial, regardless of circumstances, would you mind dropping it here? I would like to start keeping track of who we know has been taken and when.

Thank you! Boosts VERY much appreciated. Even if you can only remember a name without a video or article about them, that’s appreciated!

EDIT: a hashtag would be super useful for this kind of stuff too, I think. Any ideas? #USDisappearance? #YouShouldHaveTheBody? Anything really 😅

EDIT: #NoDueProcess

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange I’m really happy that D&D (and others?) did away with “forced alignment” for races. Such a ridiculously bigoted idea to start with, I’m glad that at least in some places it’s going away.

I remember seeing people post/boost some artwork online when it happened and it was stuff like a Kobold barista and it was adorable and delightful.

It also, unsurprisingly, leads to better storytelling (because the characters are free to be sentient entities who have a cultural background and make individual choices, rather than a cardboard box with a couple loose leaf pages from an 18th century race “science” book stuffed inside).

@puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social jesus fucking Christ, I looked at a single file (config) for two seconds and it iterates through every environment variable looking for anything that starts with JASEUR and tries to fucking parse it

fucking god, segfault and code injection city

“Why would you want to do that, Audrey?” well, couple reasons that it might be interesting (but probably not worth it and complicated as fuck):
1. Reverse engineering of proprietary stacks? Not sure how possible or relevant/useful this would be
2. Shit like QEMU VirGL? If you could emulate a device to pass through, in theory you could install the normal compute and driver stack but handle it however you want on the host side?
3. Opening up usage of CUDA on non-CUDA devices?
4. Curiosity

No idea how realistic any of that is and whether it’s worth it, but it might be interesting to see if anything exists out there. And if it did allow more flexibility in running software with hardware options, that would be neat.

video card emulators: are those a thing? I wonder if anyone has tried to emulate an NVIDIA card…

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe wow, how can a poll be so wrong.

buncha frog haters

@xgranade@wandering.shop “we have created a system with 43,200 precisely broken clocks which are stochastically rotated around to show you a clock when you want to check the time. The degree of rotation (and subsequent clock you are shown) is based on how tired you sound when you ask what time it is. This is much more efficient than a non broken clock and has nothing to do with my clock making business (that is made even cheaper since I don’t have to make working ones, just ones with a face).”

@jalcine@todon.eu I made a zero context/explanation post about ChatGPT being fascist shit the other week and I stand by it.

I am sure I will eventually expand on that point in a more… verbose manner. But it is a propaganda tool that can be pressed into service as what they think a simulacrum should be, all without a human being. It does nothing efficiently or well, but when your purpose is simply “get rid of others”… well.

@mntmn@mastodon.social this looks like the old external modems (a super hot version of them anyway) and I looooove it 🖤

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io … understand why I have unhoused neighbors. Oh, I really like the way you wrote this; “unhoused neighbors”. Because that’s exactly they are; your neighbors. I think I am going to use that wording from now on.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I will, and have, eaten spices directly from the bag just to feel something see what it tastes like, and you better believe I am not shy when it comes to putting spices in my food.

I think coming from like, a bland background, I find the “this is over seasoned!” complaint to be grating and annoying. “Can’t you season your own plate” can’t you cook and eat your own bland paste!? Sorry my cooking reminds you that you’re alive!

@mcc@mastodon.social I would like to point out that GitHub once had a UI that was both fast and cromulent, and then in the year 2023 replaced it with fucking React.

I’m not saying react is directly responsible for this, but I’m pretty sure it enables them pulling this crap. And I’m pretty sure the same reasoning that led to them thinking using react in 2023 to replace a working UI is the same reasoning behind this crime.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io @dalias@hachyderm.io lmao oh yeah! I wanted to add "block recommendation" to this...

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange oh hey! I already have this guy muted and blocked because he’s a real ass lmao. I got into it last year with him defending some real garbage. Don’t remember what it was, but lo and behold he’s on form here again.

Imagine being such a privileged respectability-humper that in the midst of a fucking fascist coup by tech oligarchs, you’re the guy saying “no! don’t destroy the Nazi billionaire’s mobile surveillance platforms! They’ll use that against us at the midterms!”

lmao go ask your minority friends why this is a problem (oh wait! you don’t have any. awwww).

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I’m trying to allow myself to feel my emotions (without letting them overwhelm me) so that I can be proactive and use these emotions to do something positive and useful

But reading this is the second time today I’ve almost had my anger overwhelm me, instead, because of how blatant and harmful and awful and…

Did you know you can credit multiple authors in a git commit? For organizations that have people do pair programming and use things like # of commits or LOC...!

Thanks to @inherentlee@flipping.rocks for pointing this out!

@hipsterelectron@circumstances.run @dalias@hachyderm.io the same community who had leaders that decided Jon Ringer's hurt nazi feelings were far more important than anything else, unfortunately.

don't read the fucking nixos discourse comments, Audrey. Do not read the fucking nixos discourse comments, Audrey.

Some shithead force pushes AI theft onto users and complains he is the wronged party when someone disables it by default and the conversation has already devolved into "do you have proof that people don't like to be spied on"

fuuuuuuuuuuuck christ fuck fuck fuck fuck

Oh look, here we go.
