These few-minutes-old accounts swooping in on hot button issues to try persuade people are such a goddamn scourge, I wish there were something that could be done about it. In the end I probably just need to leave HN for a while because it's really doing a number on what's left of my ability to trust what I read online.

Only thing you can do is flag them. Two strikes and they're gone. Plus usually, moderation give these accounts a perma-ban.

"Abolish ICE" at the bottom. Obviously a Bad Bunny fan, as I am.

The very same day I sat at home writing this devlog like a coward, less than five miles away, armed forces who are in my city against the will of our elected officials shot tear gas, unprovoked, at peaceful protestors, including my wife. https://www.kptv.com/2026/01/31/live-labor-unions-rally-marc... This isn't some hypothetical political agenda I'm using my platform to push. There's a nonzero chance I go out there n…

Did you mean your local officials?

It is possible to both abolish ICE and CBP.

Especially as CBP officers commit crimes at a higher rate than undocumented migrants in the US: https://www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountability-for-ice-and...

In fact if you were to make a police force entirely out of CBP officers who have been arrested, it would be the fourth largest police force in America.

When people like you finally realize what is happening in this country, I'm ready to quickly forgive and move on so that we can work together to preserve what freedoms we have left. but please hurry... we really need you to pay attention and understand the reality that is upon us.

I do know what's happening. I've been around and watching for over a decade. We are bleeding from every orifice from an economic standpoint. The recent moves for deportations is an attempt by the office of the President to save face while not doing anything to fix over-spending, it's also a good vehicle for a surveillance push, and the RNC/old-school dems will be happy so someone like JD can take power afterwards to…

Don't take the black pill.

The Department of Homeland Security was created in 2003. We didn't need it then and we don't need it now. Why waste tax dollars on ineffective, privacy-violating security theater when we could spend it on education and health?

Something smells fishy here... is that a Sea Lion?

I too am sick of internal combustion engines, a product of the last century.

Have you ever used an LLM with Zig? It will generate syntactically invalid code. Zig breaks so often and LLMs have such an eternally old knowledge cutoff that they only know old ass broken versions. The same goes for TLA+ and all the other obscure things people think would be great to use with LLMs, and they would, if there was as much training data as there was for JavaScript and Python.

You must have not tried this with an LLM agent in the past few months.

i tested sonnet 4.5 just last week on a zig codebase and it has to be instructed the std.ArrayList syntax every time.

You'd have a lot stronger argument if ICE wasn't being used as a secret police force. They're Immigration Enforcement in name only. Your average citizen would say it's okay to enforce immigration laws, there is no doubt about that; doing middle-of-the-night raids with a blackhawk helicopter in cities of your political opponents is not reasonable[0]. There are plenty more examples of their abhorrent behavior (like killing two American citizens in the midwest and brutalizing protestors) if you cared to search for it.

I've noticed that the MAGAs have been adamant about trying to shift the window back to: "but you agree that immigrants should be deported right?" as some sort of attempt to justify what's happening, I guess. Is that talking point coming from some popular right wing show or something as a last ditch effort before midterms?
