Japan wasn't always filled with old people (even this is overstated as a percentage of the population,) and it was still extremely safe. I witnessed this firsthand. Japan has a culture that expects and reinforces cooperation and respon

It was extremely safe 20, 30 years ago too. I don't believe this is a factor.

PR is cheap if you're willing to grossly violate social norms.

It sounds like they're just incorporating their own "TwitLonger" into it.

It is not a coincidence, /pol/ is flypaper to keep those people out of the other boards.

The paranoid side of me wonders if this is just a formalization of data collection that may already exist on 4chan.

Mods/janitors ruined /cgl/ (cosplay board) well before gamergate existed and it definitely had a (so-called, I dislike the term) "SJW" flavor.

Gamergate doesn't actually have "ranks", it is a multi-homed, decentralized mob. That is the genius/horror of it. Welcome to the future of memetic warfare, it has already reached escape velocity from 4chan.

Maybe Ukrainians that you meet in a foreign country are naturally going to be more cosmopolitan than the larger percentage remaining at home in Ukraine.

For good or ill, online games are the laboratories for the future of controlling people outside of games as well.

Everybody in the West seems to think that everywhere else is just like them when it comes to lack of racial and national solidarity.

At least do the hacker thing and explore the system for weaknesses. Some of my most memorable times from school were, when asked to interpret a work, intentionally crafting the most defensible interpretation I could find that would be offen

Is there a description of how maelstrom holds references in the DHT? I can think of half a dozen ways to bolt HTTP hosting on bittorrent, but the scale of "people using http" is orders of magnitude larger than "people who use

I love how you knew you had to tie those beliefs back to white European Christians somehow to sell this viewpoint.

Science considers this position to be axiomatic, though. It basically doesn't even need a proof.

The moralizing god is a policeman installed in your brain, so you obey the rules when the corporeal police aren't around. It is a social hack to minimize cheaters.

Hacking on the GBA gave me the motivation to learn embedded programming in C. You need to know how to handle memory-mapped registers, create C structs with proper alignment to interface with the hardware sprite/tile acceleration, direc

by Torgo 11y ago
GBA is probably the last device made that acts like an old classic console like the NES. It hardware-accelerates tiles and sprites, which are loaded from memory-mapped locations that you set (typically) with structs made in C. You can tweak

by Torgo 11y ago
Definitely works, although you are limited to a very small payload that must be loaded completely into memory.

Much of this is the natural outcome of near-complete deference to expressions of offense, and declarations of identity. It was a totally predictable outcome, it was warned about way ahead of time, it happened.
