Christopher Columbus is the ultimate IQ test. You immediately know that someone is a retarded halfwit if they start screeching some nonsense about how Columbus was a genocidal maniac or whatever. Intelligent students of history understand that he is one of the great men of western civilization. This is an awesome move by the White House.

Before the internet, we had the right to private conversations.
No one thought the government would be justified putting microphones in our homes to prevent them.
Privacy was a right we took for granted.
Today it's a right we must fight to protect.

@LundukeJournal Can't help but notice you left neckbeards and fatties.

“the trans community is awesome and has been a HUGE contributor to tech”
… Not quite.
There have most definitely been several prominent engineers who have been confused about their gender (or who had a gender swapping fetish). Aka “Trans”.
That said, saying that the “Trans community” has been a “HUGE contributor to tech” is not exactly accurate.
Almost every demographic I can think of has contributed more to Computing (and related Tech) than “Trans”.
Straight. Gay. Man. Woman. Christian. Jewish. Atheist. Blonde. Brunette. Tall. Short. White. Black. Asian. Chevrolet owners.
Could go on and on. “Trans” is, in fact, one of the smaller “groups” for contributions to computing overall.
If I made a “top 100” groups for contributing to computing… “Trans” would not be on it.

Sophie Wilson she co-designed the ARM (Acorn RISC Machine) processor architecture in the 1980s. ARM powers the vast majority of smartphones, tablets, embedded devices, and many other systems today. Martine Rothblatt founded Sirius Satellite Radio (now SiriusXM), pioneering satellite-based digital audio broadcasting and related communications tech. She holds patents in satellite systems, global portable internet via low-Earth orbit, and navigation. Mary Ann Horton a key architect of Usenet (one of the earliest decentralized computer networks and a direct precursor to modern internet forums and discussion systems). She invented uuencode, the method that enabled binary file attachments in email and early online systems. Horton also contributed to Berkeley UNIX, which helped expand early internet infrastructure. Lynn Conway while at IBM in the 1960s, she invented generalized dynamic instruction scheduling (a form of out-of-order execution), a foundational technique still used in nearly all modern high-performance CPUs to boost speed and efficiency. I don't give a fuck about your political opinion but the trans community is awesome and has been a HUGE contributor to tech.

@gatorgar Also the foundation puts money to support leftist causes, so there is that too.

I was told Wikipedia said has no far left bias? I would imagine if one editor managed to sneak in a million edits just supporting Hamas, there are likely at least a handful of other editors making what? Half a million edits in favor of other far left causes?
Just a guess.

JUST IN: Wikipedia bans prolific editor after investigation reveals he was responsible for over a million pro-hamas edits on the site.

@pureMetatron Pretty sure people will choose a dog more often than other people much higher on the list than refugees.
English
I keep seeing people sharing this. It’s idiotic.
What do they want me to say anyways?
I’ll take the refugee as a house pet?

WHITE PEOPLE: Is this true?

@lil_boo_slayer @CryptoCyberia Yea, but like Google it gets worse over time.
English
@CryptoCyberia Grok is pretty good for things I used to use Google Search for
ChatGPT is hot garbage though
English
Maybe I am retarded, and I almost never vibe code anything beyond simple scripts to automate something I need done, usually with media management/remuxing, but LLMs seem to be getting worse and worse as search engines (99% of my prompts).
The worst part is idk why this is.
English
@shifkey @CryptoCyberia I think its adoption.
llm chatbots everywhere, third party llm everywhere too.
And adoption is exponential.
English
@CryptoCyberia Maybe I am schizo, but I noticed a huge uptick in everyone complaining about LLM performance at the exact same time that the middle east energy crisis kicked off

English
@CryptoCyberia Did you use google when it was new? It was crazy how great it was. Over the decades it fell further and further from greatness.
LLMs doing the same think, but faster.
Also, they are pretty bad at lisp.
English
@SteveLovesAmmo Yea, but they do it from cars and anywhere else there is dehumanization.

@Malvolio421 @exQUIZitely Dvd menus were the worst.
Doubly so any with sound.
Fall asleep to a dvd and end up hearing the same horrible sounds cut off at the same horrible time only to repeat.
Wake up hours later with some sort of mental issue and struggle to put an end to it like a horrid alarm clock
English
@exQUIZitely This and DVD Menus.
We didn't know how good we had it.
English
Game menus had a different vibe back then. I miss this style. The modern minimalistic design feels bland, and it's lacking soul. I am sure a lot of research goes into AB testing and optimization, but I will always prefer this...
English
@LyalinDotCom 100% agree. But sadly we have long ago enetred the corporate world and so everything is streamlined and tested and optimized to death - including games.
English
@sinfected13 @exQUIZitely Legend of Dragoon is certainly one of my favs. I miss demo disks. I also miss magazines costing less than $5 while coming with extra stuff.
English
@exQUIZitely making these type of interfaces was my job for about 10 years. It was the best job in the world. I designed both of these for the PS1 back in the day. 1998-99

@miles_commodore British and Irish Americans are often referred to as European Americans. Wouldn't that be a more accurate equivalent to the term African-American?
English
Why am I referenced as an African-American?
I hate that!
My ancestors go back well over 200 years in this country. That's much longer than most other Americans.
Do we call them British or Irish Americans?
The term is dumb and I'm not a fan of it.
I’m American!
English
@Donephi1 @miles_commodore It's mostly a Democrat talking point these days.
English
@miles_commodore The call you that based on the color of your skin.
Racism is something you cant remove from the whites. It has eaten deepdown inside of them hence their are now words for them to look and sound official.
Racism is a life style for them
English
@miles_commodore To make you part of a group. To encourage sides and conflict.
If you moved here from Africa and became naturallized, that's the only time it makes sense.
Same goes for any other nationality. If you are born here, and you stay here. You are just an American. A glorious American.

“Liberated systemd” is a systemd fork which removes the recently added Age Verification supporting functionality.
This is exactly how Open Source is supposed to work.
Don’t like the direction a project is going? Fork it!
