You think the choice of what to test is unintentional? It’s not that people actively prioritize harm, it’s that they actively prioritize not thinking about harm when it will hurt profits. The repeated pattern belies claims of ignorance.

Going off on someone because they “feel a bit reactionary” is very reactionary, you realize.

What gets tested and what doesn’t is an active choice which reveals malice, even if unintentional. A process important to Cloudflare will have the budget for testing; one important only to its customers, apparently not so much. Impersonal m

This is ageism which assumes that the elderly are in constant misery and would rather be, or be better off, dead. You’re wrong. When you are older you will realize that life is worth living at every age, and you will hope the young don’t tr

Putin has used violent oppression to maintain his rule. The victims do not deserve your contempt.

Hey bud, you are being really aggressive and disagreeable in here. At this point, I think everyone is aware that you, personally, would not recommend Rust or Actix. Loud and clear my dude.

This is how I wound up becoming so annoyed that I finally switched to Linux. It’s been great. I haven’t even missed out on gaming.

Also, sure, one can debate whether the masses were right to execute the aristocracy… but surely we can all agree that the aristocracy were lethally wrong that the masses didn’t matter. I hope for their sake that the capitalists realize this

This post is opaquely referring to the fact that the Playstation 4 os is based on FreeBSD. Obviously, this is interesting but irrelevant.

You may be small, but you’re hoping to ride the coattails of giants by exploiting the same toxic systems they do. A symbiote who survives on a predator by eating its filth.

I do, as near as I can anyway. My government has been captured by the capital class and will be difficult to recover.

I wish my government looked out for me like this.

Incorrect. It gives the designers and developers an opaque dataset of user behavior which they can interpret in many ways. I find their interpretations of this data to be highly motivated and suspect.
