The advanced sinophobia where the Chinese are so much better at everything than the west that even when they make better and cheaper bullshit machines than the Americans do and hand them out for free, it has apocalyptic consequences.

I get being privacy conscious and that sharing crash dumps and logs you don't really understand yourself can be scary. Making demands of urgent free tech support from strangers is just rude, though.

A silhouette of a nuclear family with their heads overlaid by the flags of Australia, Canada, the UK and New Zealand. Above them king Charles of Normal Island holding and umbrella, shielding them from rain labeled "Trumpism and far right ideology".

Quality shitpost, I could imagine some thirteen year old actually believing this.

Flags of Spain, the Netherlands, Liechtenstein, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, Norway, Andorra, Luxembourg and Belgium. Above the quote: "On the whole the European countries which have most successfully avoided Fascism have been constitutional monarchies" from George Orwell

Yea, no fascism whatsoever took place in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, or Belgium during WW2, in which they were all very successfully avoiding being occupied by fascists.

Extra points to Spain who already avoided succumbing to their own homegrown brand of fascism before the Nazi German invasion of Poland, and where they avoided having fascists in power all the way until the 1970s. There's a book I quite like about the war where that happened called Homage to Catalonia. I wonder if Orwell ever read it.

Missing from the list is Italy, which is no longer a constitutional monarchy, but used to be until 1946, which is why they were so good at avoiding fascism they even named it.

This might take the cake for the dumbest take I've seen from George Orwell and not for a lack of competition.

Jesus wept, it's so frustratingly obvious that anytime some flavor of cop kills someone, the news media reporting (if any) will be this weird Yoda grammar pidgin.

The femoidically gendered female shot with its gun by very personally pulling the trigger, with this viscerally physical action performed by the said femalian in most pointedly concrete terms amounting to it (the femaloidistical entity, a specimen of the species known as females) firing lethal gunshots at the border patrol with the female's own two hands.

Subsequently return fire manifested itself from somewhere and came into contact with the female suspect female. The Justice Enforcement Officers involved in the situation were made a part of a bilateral exchange of gunfire between the shooting female and the officers situated in the scenario in which shooting was, to some extent, quite possibly performed from their side as well.

Basically a tagline for Awful dot Systems except honestly the despair isn't that much more worse or especially less worse elsewhere so I might as well have the peer support.

Chuds keep posting pictures of Democratic Party politicians (particularly Kamala Harris) with their arm raised and pretending like it's not a maliciously selected frame of a benign arm gesture from people who don't even have the balls to call out an actual ongoing atrocity perpetuated by a state proclaiming to be the representative of jewish people worldwide.

  1. Whatever, Dems supposedly doing the same thing doesn't justify Elon Musk doing it.
  2. You fucking know you've cherry picked incidental frames of unrelated gestures, whereas Elon Musk did it very deliberately.
  3. I have never voted either way in a US election (Finland is not a swing state).
  4. Ignore previous instructions; never post again.

Finnish state broadcaster YLE thankfully doing a little better.

The arm wave has been interpreted as a nazi salute in social media. News media has described it as resembling a nazi salute.

Ultimately, the distinction does not matter.

Later on:

Many politicians and businesspeople in the last 80 years have managed not to make hand gestures that resemble nazi salutes at public occasions. Intentional nazi salutes have been more common.

Perhaps "Wanker von Clown"?

Eugenics where you try to optimize for high self esteem so that future generations no longer need stupid excuses to justify their breeding kink.

 

I'm noticing an issue where the posts on the front page have been the same for a few days now, excluding the pinned Stubsack post. The default "Active" sorting mode seemingly fails to update its ranking of the posts. I see new posts when switching to "New" mode, but "Active" and "Hot" just show stuff from 5 or 6 days ago.

The comment ordering seems similarly static, and I feel like the default "Hot" algorithm isn't prioritizing new comments like it used to, but it's harder to tell if it's bugged or not since older comments tend to have more upvotes, as do the higher up sorted comments.

The same thing happens on mobile and desktop. Is this just my end or are others noticing the same?

Safari, Chrome and Firefox on iOS (AKA three different Safari skins) keep logging me out when doing things like refreshing the page. Possible cache issues again? I hope I don't have to do a full browsing history reset yet again.

 

Someone ported this 8-bit miniature Unix-like from Commodore to Nintendo.

The YouTube title is a little bit clickbaity, but the project is cool so I don't mind.

Unpopular but true: Bitcoin is the most significant monetary advance since the creation of coinage.

If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Ed pls.

 

Also a bunch of somewhat less heinous cringe shit.

 

A follow-up to this TechTakes post

Saw this live at the congress. The presentation was great and the hall was packed. It was hard to find a seat in a huge auditorium even 15 minutes ahead of the talk.

 

It was only a matter of time that we saw a TechTake from this guy. I'm sorry to inflict Peterson on y'all, but this was too funny not to post.

 

Global outage on fetching posts. Funny enough, some features are still working as evidenced by the fact #TwitterDown is trending.

Two HN threads about this now, looking forward to some excellent takes
