> It's well documented that Show us, then. There's nothing as egregious as what the right is currently doing to be found in the archives, and you know it.

Jordan Peterson is very much proof that "cancel culture" as it exists in the right's collective imagination never existed. A completely clueless guy that holds backward views from centuries past, that can still find an audien

Flammanville is a prototype, and much of the talent that was used to mass-produce reactors is long gone to time. The dumb thing now that Flammanville is finished would be to not follow up on it.

The president and the secretary of health both believe vaccines give autism and covid was nothing but a big fever. You act like "covid skepticism" isn't mainstream in the highest spheres of power.

I mean, as far as fascist states go China, Russia and North Korea are pretty up there? In the original "14 points" [0], the author explains this is not an exhaustive checklist that makes something fascist if it ticks all of the it

> Hitler did well by the Germans. That's an insanely stupid claim. Jews were systematically stigmatized and eventually sent to extermination camps. What we now call LGBT people and political opponents got the same treatment. Syndica

I mean, the lower castes in the movie seem pretty oppressed to me? Just not in the obvious "Sovietpunk" way usually used to describe oppression on the screen.

Me neither. The story focused more on acute classism than pure authoritarianism, although the two go well hand in hand.

So when a talk show host vaguely on the left implies something that might not be true it is ground enough to disregard the fucking first amendment and use the power of the state to censor him. But when the entire GOP, including the presid

You really don't have to be fair to the executives. The FCC absolutely can't do shit about Jimmy Kimmel, and would lose the procedure if it ever came to it. Instead, they immediately bent the knee and decided that loyalty to the n

Do you live under a fucking rock? Right wingers are all mindlessly screaming about antifa and transgenders online, and calling out for civil war.

And it's clearly AI-generated. As if one couldn't find a video of a bald eagle.

Ya, it was kind of a tongue-in-cheek remark on my part. I don't agree with much of what this administration does, but I still think "Department of War" is more honest of a name for this institution.

DoD? You mean the DoW?

The guy was at best confused in his ideological leanings. He held midly leftist ideas on some issues and right wing ideas on others, like on gun ownership. Typical of a young Utah white guy, I'd say. He was raised in a die-hard Trump C

They were fighting "cancel culture" and complaining about not being able to say anything anymore on Netflix specials and sponsored podcasts. These guys are all fucking grifters with fried brains and no values beyond that of their

I think it's even worse than that, luau and luaJIT have evolved in different directions than the official lua project, such that they are now all sublty incompatible with each others. They all branch from lua 5.1 but it feels like ther

Monopolies aren't generally undone by their anti-consumer practices. Believing Salesforce will suffer from their own egregious behavior is wishful thinking.

There are some already ( https://docs.rs/web-sys/latest/web_sys , for example), and I made mine too as an exercise. But it's still ugly, unecessary, verbose and inefficient code.

No, it's not that bad honestly. But it's not more efficient than JS either, and all this ugly glue code hurts my sensibility.

Just so we know, who's the cabal?

It's the political komissar, here to make sure nothing too critical of the current administration is allowed on the platform.

Just "not using it" doesn't ward off from the deleterious societal consequences of such a powerful propaganda tool simply existing.

Putting my tinfoil hat on, maybe they knew ad blockers would mess with their new implementation and expected the freak out to mount "creators" against ad blockers?

It does kinda make sense for once, you probably wouldn't want to just count API calls for views. I heard you need to watch a significant portion of the video before it counts as a view.

I think it's a legitimate worry, but I don't think using our old accounts give us any less protections than throwaway accounts. And I doubt the people that would make such accounts have anything of interest to add to the discussio
