froztbyte,

relatedly: msft turned semi-good for a couple of years (making tooling more accessible across platforms, actual foss work, etc), and then seems to have an internal about-turn on this, and seem intent on speedrunning being most-hated again. stiff competition too, that’s why they’re trying so hard

froztbyte,

One of the thonkleaders in the group of people this sub is about

froztbyte, (edited )

christ and of course it’s a YC company. they really should print that on the office entrance wall or something

YC: Where Monopolied Rentware Is The Only Business Model We Know

froztbyte,

wondering what my notifications will feel like if there’s more like those two winner threads last week

froztbyte,

those threads felt more like The Big Top, with a dash of accidental psychedelics

honestly couldn’t believe some of the posts I was seeing

froztbyte,

I never partied over there, probably part of it

froztbyte,

it’s still far too early in baytime (hell, it’s barely morning in eagleeast), gonna check back in on this in 2~3h for when the real fun starts

froztbyte,

wildly speculating[0]: every other twitter money idea that felon’s had so far hasn’t worked out, so now they’ll try the open-the-data-floodgates model for seeing if the (remaining) databrokers (that still have anything on the site) are willing to give a few pennies more

([0] - I do mean wildly. haven’t checked a lick of data to see if the guess hold up. but then, neither would have felon either)

froztbyte,

(the far more likely (and far more boring) reason is likely something benign, “there’s no developers around to deal with whatever issue ETP is causing on their un-/barely-maintained webUI” is a good candidate)

froztbyte,

name rings a bell but who’s that?

wdym? who lecun is, or something else?

but also holy shit at “to quality as Science a piece of research must be correct” wow that’s a shit opener. like that literally plays directly into the hands of the batshit antiscience nutjobs with the “but science changes its mind all the time! how could it then ever have been correct!” tagline

and Capital-S Science everywhere. is this a church now?

froztbyte,

yeah the guy used to be respected, then went off the deep end. lot of linguists I follow were dunking on some epically bad takes that lecun had in recent years. he’s definitely drinking the koolaid afaict

froztbyte,

yep they’ve woken up now, and they’re posting

froztbyte,

two from the same esteemed poster:

That sounds very “leftist” in circular-logic where more money means you are axiomatically automatically the most guilty regardless of level of harm caused. Which means that if you were to become the first trillionare by curing 95% of all forms of cancer then you are clearly history’s greatest monster.

Alright then so when do we go from it being tax deductible to outright banning private charity as “undemocratic”?

froztbyte,

I’ve still gotta finish the first one 😅

froztbyte,

Yeah.

I had parents that did this shit (and more). Emphasis on “had”: I walked the fuck away from the whole goddamn lot.

Does my fucking head in to see this kind of shit not only being given airtime but done so without criticism in the coverage.

froztbyte,

ty :)

froztbyte,

dcavsbdhfbd

huh, is that a layout I don’t recognize or is it your own particular flavour of keysmash? (I can sorta see it from qwerty but the order is surprising)

froztbyte,

yeah, delay-loads in fedi are a thing occasionally

froztbyte,

see the links elsewhere in thread here for more info

froztbyte,

That’s a lot of words to avoid saying “shitty nazis”, hope you didn’t sprain something

froztbyte,

“self-described” without a description of your own, “neo-alt-conservatives” with no/floating definition, and “who claim” without counter

you literally just made a loose collection of statements, in what could plausibly be interpreted (and then expounded on) in a completely new/different way entirely depending on how your message was received. and if you did even the slightest bit of fucking reading you wouldn’t even be trying to claim that you’re informing me of anything. but thanks for trying

froztbyte,

like literally whether you meant to or not, you made an extremely swing-able post, and that’s all I’m calling you out on

froztbyte,

see awful.systems/comment/3438015

froztbyte,

yeah it’s amazing, dude’s got a face like what people would pick “most punchable” in game character design or something

froztbyte,

I’m watching all this US from a distance and it’s just fucking…bewildering and surreal to see it go as it does

but I still remember that it happens to real people, and then to read things like this. fuck. that’s so fucking grim.
