Underrated burn. Hot damn.

 

This is the SECOND time in 3 days that I forgot that if statements in lisp are ternary. Someone needs to end me.

Let's be real, SO didn't need AI, most of it was already a shit salad. It became increasingly less useful from 2016 to now.

@atzanteol I said Alternative, not Regurgitative.

 

Anyone got any good alternatives to #stackoverflow?

He might be popular here on left-wing Internet forums, but his voters don't turn out.

Bernie and Warren are great at pushing progressive policies into the public consciousness, don't get me wrong.

The Apple filing criticized what it called an attempt by Epic to make Apple's "tools and technologies available to developers for free."

Wouldn't that be fucking great. Man, if only.

it costs nothing to keep your bigoted opinions to yourself

I used to not understand the concept of opportunity costs but now I'm beginning to believe that there is such a thing even when spouting disgusting, obnoxious, dogshit opinions. Like, some people in the world are losing out if they don't take an opportunity to slander and disparage someone else.

They're lower than dirt.

I mean, I get that this is basically the last standing GOP policy, but to read those verses correctly, you have to remember that "to suffer" is another way to say "to put up with," and he's talking to his disciples, not the children. He's just saying "Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!"

When I started to read breakdowns about the social engineering behind the xz backdoor I was like, "Waaaaitaminute, I've seen that sort of talk before." I found it notable to point out the similarity and maybe poke around at it.

People decided to use the thread (to my excessive chagrin) to talk shit about kbin and rehash the exact same pressures I was attempting to analyze.

It's a shame, because I noticed similar patterns was looking forward to some good discussion about it here. Alas...

 

It turns out, if people in an online community really don't like what you're doing, they can turn to harassment, threats, or worse to try to shut you down.

 

Frieren is an enigma to me. It lacks the humor and jokes of a comedy, it lacks the drama and tension of a tragedy, it lacks the warmth and affection of a slice of life, and it lacks the majesty and wonder of a fantasy epic. It spends too much time on repetitive, formulaic Monster of the Week chapters to take seriously, and too much time in overcomplicated Shonen battle arcs to snuggle up to. It's distant, transient, and vacant.

The heady premise, the characters, the world, the themes, the slice of life moments, the dramatic battle moments, all these things work individually, but the whole is somehow worth less than the sum of its parts.

Madhouse's animation tho 👍

Posting to raise awareness of this behavior with kbin. Maybe it's something Ernest can address in the ActivityPub rewrite, maybe it's something that doesn't need to be (or can be) addressed at all.

On Mastodon, if you don't like your instance or it's in the process of shutting down, you can migrate your account to another instance. I was aware of this feature, but I hadn't considered how such a move federates to kbin, until now.

I had blocked a user of a niche Mastodon instance, and then they migrated to a larger instance. After the migration, I started seeing their posts again, with my blocklist only containing the old account, not the new one.

Now to my knowledge, this feature of Mastodon is not a standard component of ActivityPub. I think it's a great feature actually, but I'm concerned that enables a sort of harassment whereby an attacker can harass someone, get blocked, migrate to another instance, and continue harassing their target. This feature being non-standard, I don't know how it gets broadcast to other instances, let alone if/how kbin should handle it.

Should kbin automatically update blocklists with the newly migrated account name and instance name? That feels like the ideal solution, but I don't know how feasible it is. Just wanted to open this up for discussion and awareness.
