    Thanks y'all for the immediate slander and political replies. Anyways, the strategy is now clearly to burn twitter to the ground and diminish its influence since it isn't controlle…

    Gross! NewXXXXXX and constructors should always be near the top of the file, next to the struct and interface definitions :)

    I think "the powers that be" also works in this context. Control over global public discourse is the most effective mind control tool in the world. Even moreso when your control is…

    Disagree, there are so many people who don't care about the media outrage machine that went from Trump to Musk and now to Kanye. It's all very political.

    No it isn't like stealing at all. HTTP and REST API was explicitly designed so that clients can request and explore only the links they are interested in. This includes links to tr…

    Isn't there a 'let me keep reading' button on these substack popups?

    They are publicly hosting their content with a protocol that was designed for clients to only follow the links they are interested in. Rather than gimping the browser stack for eve…

    I salute the IT team who keeps all of those security policies in place while not interfering with daily operations. >Who's stopping you to create your own version of VBA, release i…

    Easily defeated argument. If that website doesn't want members of the public accessing it (and picking and choosing what parts to access), then don't make it publicly accessible.

    To argue against this, a Word document has no business running arbitrary code with access to system drivers. I think it's more like opening a document in GEdit and realizing that y…

    Do you also think that Carl Benz should have kept the first combustion vehicle secret from the public, since it could be used to automate damage upon pedestrians? Ban and criminali…

    What is easily automated? Generating JPEGs until I receive an error that there is no more space on my hard drive? This would leave no bad effect on the world.

    But stable diffusion isn't an automated system maximizing its own power and drowning the world in paperclips in an out-of-control feedback loop. It's just me generating cool pictur…

    This sounds like such a bad idea, what if one of your employees has a concealed carry permit and chooses to defend themselves?

    Same here, I only caught one episode of HOTD, the one where they are at the feast and the two guys fight over the girl and then she gets kidnapped. The whole episode felt intimate,…

    It will be so much fun when the implementation is refactored and half of these comments are forgotten about and no longer meaningful.

    Not downvoting, in fact I agree with you. The speed at which these old claims were trotted out against Trump and any Republican right of Lindsay Graham has me thinking about their …

    I find it interesting that similar claims have been made against several members of the Republican party in recent times (by prominent news outlets). What is the threshold of evide…
