There is no "push back" from most developers, not in the direction you're thinking anyway, which is what the microblogtard is calling "apathy", as people grew tired of the moral imposters, who happen to (very randomly) align with corpos when it comes to target lists btw (they are "GNU bad" and "Stallman bad" mobs).
Most developers, when they have their developer hat on, are not bothered by the constant hormonal brainless unhinged Find a Nazi under the pillow campaigns of the microblogtard sphere and its echo chambers when they leak outside, and that's exactly the right positioning.
Some of those developers may even be more "radical" than the microblogtards themselves. But they have the ability to compartmentalize, contextualize, and have the assuredness, mental stability, and impulse control not to feel the need to moral posture and find mob targets 24/7 to feel good about themselves.
The main point was that people who shout "Nazi" wouldn't recognize literal Hitler quotes right in front them. I can play a "Hitler or " quotes game all day.
This reverse-Godwin* strain of mania is just getting old. And the illogical and counter-productive mob-like activity that comes with it doesn't work on people anymore. But feel free to continue circlejerking about it in mastodon and co.
So that was an actual Hitler quote. The Hitler, not someone random a kid is calling Hitler.
And as I expected, no one even recognized it, and it even got an upvote from a neolib (receipts saved). And why not, it's a good quote, irrespective of its source!
This is yet another proof that people who shout "Nazi bar" everywhere (except the senate, congress, ...) actually know nothing about Nazis, the real actual Nazis, not whoever is getting the tag in the latest witch hunt, deservedly or (often) otherwise.
Anyone with a functioning intellectual brain recognized from day one that this manic genetic-fallacy guilt-by-association combo on the loose was itself a manifestation of the anti-intellectual post-truth new normal.
Maybe not the wisest decision when Israeli ministers are saying “you’re next, Syria” and you might want some decentralized forces.
🤣
If the Zionist entity attacks, those mercenaries would be on their side. In fact, they asked, practically screamed, for Zionist help when they were collapsing last year. And that was all done in the open. But unfortunately for them, their mercenary luck was out, since they had no place in the new arrangements and plans for the region (unless they go to fight in Iran of course, which was where everyone thought their Qandil-origin PKK leaders were going, but it's not clear yet whether that's going to materialize).
That's a very funny sanitized (I believe what the kids call it) westoid "version of events".
Kurdish-led Syrian
Non-"Kurds" left. And the PKK "ideological" fighters are not Syrian. Many Syrian Kurds are not ideologically PKK-aligned. Many of them would in fact be annoyed with the current heads in Demascus because they are not Muslim enough (anymore), not because they are not PKK enough.
at the forefront of the battle against the Islamic State jihadist group
Everyone fought ISIS, and the only ones who fared well without aerial cover were actually other jihadists.
The YPG couldn't even compete against ragtag mercenaries propped up by Turkey, because the aerial cover this time was supporting the other side.
And it's those ragtag mercenaries the YPG was skirmishing with for years before 2024, while having an underground economy with them and everyone else (where crystal meth transcended supposed battle lines).
After being Syria’s most highly trained and organized paramilitary force
Is that why this mercenary force with pretend yet confused marxist ethno-nationalist zionist-loving one-man ideology lost more than half of their territory in 48h? 🤣
the SDF was promptly dropped by Washington
It was promptly dropped by the Arab part of their mercenary organization too, hence the 48h collapse mentioned above.
Is anyone selling the false reality that meritocracy perfectly exists, especially at the highest socioeconomic level?
Conversely, what does exist is that retarded notion that developed over the last decade or two that attacks meritocracy itself (Equity vs. Equality, The Post-Meritocracy Manifesto, ...etc). A notion that replaces any serious examination of why meritocracy itself doesn't exist, for some self-serving tokenism, and some demands for high remuneration for bullshit work, in arguments that are ironically, but not surprisingly, not dissimilar to how some management types justify their high pay.
Are there instances which offer users the option to access their user UI+API via tor hidden services?
Are there instances which primarily exist as tor hidden services, and thus, federation traffic itself must go through the tor network if an instance wants to federate with them?
Are there clear net instances which would be willing to federate with the hypothetical tor hidden service instances mentioned above?
The internet actually deleted most "real people having real sex" years ago. You just didn't notice. There is a reason I specified "commercial" in my comment.
If you actually show modern, or worse, "post-modern" porn to a non-porn-brained person, he will more likely to be put off by it, than attracted to it.
An imperfect analogy can be made to a similar(ish) direction the so called "music industry" went through. Although, the divergence there is less stark, the direction is less universally off-putting, and no erasure happened to good old (and some new) stuff. And the "real" angle is not fully there, auto-tune and co. aside. But it should be noted that very recently (in the last 3 years), "AI" has already been helping automating the generation of the already boringly derivative content, with both tunes and lyrics. You just didn't notice because all the anger is strategically directed at the full content generation startups (including instrument play and vocals).
Going on a bit of a tangent here, but how come the enlightened never seem to push for simply banning commercial porn, fixing the problem at the source?
Such a move would kill multiple birds with one stone: It would call the pretend socially conservative's bluff, invalidate the wannabe authoritarian-dressed-up-as-paternal uniparties' argument(s), and strip the Zionist entity of a big source of income (Do not look up OF's dead owner. And certainly do not look up where the company is actually registered/based. That second one will render your irony-meter nonoperational. You have been WARNED).
It's not because most of the enlightened are just neoliberal cattle, right? right?
Or are we still doing the "sex work positivity" COPE-bullshit, which is not something anyone working in the inherently exploitative and abusive "industry" actually believes in. Just like how no semi-neglected child in the ghetto actually believes in, or feels, the embrace of the so called "village".
This is a mix of you growing up with a hint of nostalgia, and the death of the TV.
Excitement for the world cup is waning, just like it's waning for any other event/show that collected the family in front of the small screen.
The quality of game itself has always been not good at the international level. And that probably increased with players playing in many different leagues, not just teams. While decades ago, you had some cores of teams playing for the same club.
The game itself changed of course. No more no.10 artists giving you a good show.
In my extended family, most people who care about the world cup are people who don't watch the sport much during the regular season. So it's not really primarily a sporting event for them.
I would love it if it was a moral awakening, or increased awareness of the hubris that is the modern nation state identity, that is driving this. But I genuinely doubt it. And if you think it is now, or was in Qatar (the biggest moral posturing maxxing event in internet history) or Russia, I'm afraid you're probably over-influenced by your echo chamber of choice.
Real power doesn't exchange hands at the ballot box. And to think it does is the most laughable a notion. But much investment goes into conditioning (a nicer word than brainwashing) people to subscribe to it.
Some contrarians take this too far and use the framing "Democracy is a lie". But the reality is, it's not necessarily a lie, but rather, it's just largely inconsequential when the brokenness exists at a higher level (the modern nation state itself, its establishment, and both their interconnections with inter and extra national powers). In that reality, the voting process is not a tool for the masses, but rather a tool to distract and contain them.
Consulting people, via voting or any other method, is still desirable of course, but only after that brokenness is taken care of.
LLM's and stylometry are not magic.
i write using different styles constantly.
And It's not like people are writing original long essays here all the time, for the weapons grade tools to assay anything with high confidence.
The best way to get full access to fediverse data (including e.g. voting) is to run your own instance. So what instances, do we think, are operated by bad actors, irrespective of their identity or nature❓🤔
Or to get more conspiratorial, a bad actor would need one or more big instances to collect that info without sticking out. So which big instances, do we think, would be willing to give, or sell, a "bad actor" full access❓😉
(This of course assumes that none of the big instances were created by bad actors).
In any case, if you're posting overton wrongthink™, and not doing it (pseudo-)anonymously, then you're doing it wrong. I mean, you're in a network/platform that goes as far as encouraging you to use multiple accounts, so what's stopping you from doing it right?!
Nothing was ever really about "le evil pedophiles" or "protecting children" either. Yet, using that excuse seems to work wonders with the gullible masses, including many people here, I would imagine.

We must tear asunder the past before we can truly deserve the future.

What does "isn't real" mean?

Make the question(s) more interesting:
I guess it's good for Radio Free Asia to have competition.
THIS.
All my murderer friends have moved their activities to jurisdictions where murder is allowed or tolerated.
I think CodeBerg should push for giving Vibe Coders the death penalty, to make sure deterrence will work.
OMG that's a great move.
