I remember seeing some of this stuff when it came out and thinking “why are they doing this?” A bunch of it I never heard of, and a handful I wish had seen success (Firefox OS). Not sure how this counts as a hit piece, it didn’t seem mean spirited and definitely didn’t seem to be misrepresenting anything.

The “her back” thing I think is a typo. Unless I misheard I think the embedded video also includes a reporter recapping and saying “he’s got her on her back” too, so maybe the write up is carrying over that reporter misspeaking.

How do you look at mod logs? How am I supposed to know “they have a reputation?” I have no clue what you’re talking about, so for me it’s up for discussion, because my reaction is “what?” If you don’t care to explain that’s fine, but don’t expect every person who comes along to be read into the same stuff you are.

Look, maybe you’re right, but I’m supposed to just take your word for it? From a cursory look at their profile I’m not seeing examples of what you’re talking about.

Based on what?

Late one evening a boy and his father were accosted by a mugger. The traumatic moment unlocked some kind of latent power within the boy. Frantically he tried to intervene, skin touched skin, and the assailant’s blood turned to wine, fatal. But not before the cretin dealt a terminal blow to the father. And that night that boy became the hero we all know, Jesus Christ.

Idiots

If you run your own server (like a country would in this case) you’re the one deciding whether things are allowed to be posted. Of course that doesn’t stop other people from blocking you. But the whole idea is as a sovereign country a private corporation shouldn’t have a say over which posts are seen.

I’ve seen a few people shit talk discord without expanding, so I will: it’s a proprietary “public space” that’s not web searchable. I don’t mind something like a community/subreddit oriented around a physical place, but I try to avoid supporting spaces that are owned by private capital. Of course that’s nearly impossible, but there are degrees of enclosure.

Sure, thanks for highlighting that. I wasn’t implying anything about the lesson we should take away, just that the article didn’t seem particularly information dense, it was mostly recapping a reddit comment.

Short version: Reddit commenter says their resume system was automatically rejecting all candidates because it was looking for familiarity with the language “AngularJS” instead of “Angular”.

Interesting, the algorithm brought me the same video like three weeks ago. I like it

Yeah, seems mean spirited.

I’ll have you know fish are fucking idiots

I remember watching them and the conversation about them. But that’s different than proof and admission that sentient alien life exists. It’s one thing to suspect while also having other possible explanations (could be secret tech that we or adversary nations developed, could be sensor errors or optical illusions) and another for the president to be like “I want you to meet ambassador Xlurg”

I’m with you. Yes, people acclimate to all kinds of things, but sentient aliens are going to take more than a few days.

But I don’t want my devices to be bombs

I appreciate that this seems to be an actually informed opinion of international law, rather than random internet commenters asserting it is or isn’t a crime.

Right he makes himself more important by attaching himself to powerful people.
