Issue is, critique of those regimes started to be worded “tactically”, to make it seem those problems are unique to those systems, or even silenced completely, and at worst just inventing nonexistent problems of theirs. In Hungary, we no longer hear about arrest quotas of the secret police since 2014, the issue of the Hungarian youth under the communist regime of not being able to wear Levi jeans and Adidas shoes are exaggerated to comical degrees, but now we also have urban legends that the Rákosi and Kádár regimes wanting to implement stuff that are out of current day culture war bullshit.

Let’s hope this time it’ll be like that, and not like Gamergate, when far-right conservatives convinced a generation worth of gamers that they’re not for-censorship, because they missed the times of calling blacks the N-word.

Time for Peertube to shine!

One key difference: Conservapedia was young earth creationist, Grok is not. That amount of difference unfortunately enough to convince a lot of average Joes of credibility.

Racists started to overanalize mistakes made by PoC as an attempt to try to discredit DEI practices.

I’m a bat, I need dark rooms and caves for my habitat.

If they accepted it, saying “Diversity of libraries” could have get them into hot waters.

Because conservatives convinced people that DEI was literally about filling a quotas at the cost of competency, because “controlling the narrative”.

What DEI does (among others) is if there’s two candidates for the same opening with the same exact qualifications, the more marginalized will be hired. Before that, it wasn’t a random choice of lottery, but who looked “more trustworthy” (white) or “more competent” (neurotypical). White nationalists want to undo not only this, but to go back the days when blacks (etc.) were actually discriminated against, because their feelings and memories of calling someone “working like a n****r” (context: slavery + blacks in the segregation era often had to work way more for way less).

Or OpenCL.

I only created an unstructured mess of spaghetti for adaptive video game music, called IMBC (Intelligent MIDI Byte Code)…

“Real job” is often an anti-intellectualist code word for hard manual labor.

What could easily happen is they break a GPL license, then take it to the supreme court, so they can kneecap GNU licensed projects by making the mandate of making every change public unenforceable.

(The EU should just leave the Berne convention, then make it’s own decisions on copyright, including stripping monopolies like MS and Disney of copyright protections.)

We put the leaded gasoline genie back into its bottle, time to put the AI slop genie back into its bottle too!

They got that 68% usage number likely by counting everyone accidentally using it after a search swap or similar trick.

google as default browser

You sweet summer child, Google is as bad if not even worse than Microsoft. Chrome is no longer the browser the memes that glazed it used to depict it as.

So chihuahuas?

Allowed, but they all need to be cuddly politeboys.

Tip for any future product designers: Just because it looks cool in a movie, doesn’t mean it’ll translate well into reality as a useful product.

Nah, it’s worse.
