How many of these used Facebook, Twitter or Reddit? They are not mentioned in mainstream media because they are popular, but I assure you there are a lot of deranged people that never even posted on 4chan and just stuck to the “good” ones.
I see dog whistle (if its sufficiently subtle to qualify) racism every time I look at my FB feed, along with lots of ragebait and idiocy.
Yeah I don't think the 4chan demographic is substantially different from the "normie" social media. It's just that everyone speaks more openly about what they already believe there, including the crazies.

uninformed or malicious FUD. agpl is no different than gpl if you're distributing applications. if you host the functionality of the application with improvements then it's rightly so cryptonite and you deserve it.
Sad to see less and less AGPL code out there. It's truly one if the best licenses to prevent the SV MO of taking shit they didn't make and selling it as if they did.
I just relicensed a bunch of old code to AGPL, probably with little practical effect since it's old code: https://www.immibis.com/blog/relicensing

> but outsourcing that decision to a reddit mouth-breather whose only qualification for moderating is that he showed up to r/whatever back in 2013 before anyone else is not the way to detect those differences. Spez once compared these people to a landed gentry; they are not unlike domain squatters. Notably, 4chan is basically identical in this regard. I’ve been banned from /lit/, /trv/, and /his/ for posts that the j…
>Hacker News is superior by almost every metric. In the most narrow of topics, it's semi-superior... and because of bizarre circumstances that aren't easily replicated. We can't do politics here (though that erodes every day, looks like), which keeps the worst shit-shows out of here, but anywhere else that wouldn't ever happen. dang is some sort of minor saint, had this been reddit that would have morphed into "we ca…
I would really like to see some exploration of alternative site structures, ways to design new social media sites with better systems of incentives, for users and for mods. There is very little diversity in how social media sites are driven by users and moderated by admins (engagement or vote driven post recommendations, opaque administration decisions). I think a small fixed cost per post paid in XMR has potential to significantly improve post quality for anonymous platforms. Moderation is trickier, especially if the owner doesn’t take a back seat and rein in the mods occasionally, but more transparency into moderators and their moderation decisions (public ban log with detailed justification, pseudo anonymous account tracking per mod) with some accountability from the user base e.g. meta discussion board around site policy with engagement from mods and owner.

Uploading ASP as an image and having it execute server side is one thing. But in this case, it's subtly different. This issue relies more on a quirk of how PDF and PostScript relate (PDF is built on a subset of postscript). Imagine you had an image format which was just C which when compiled and ran produced the width, height, and then stream of RGB values to form an image. And you formalised this such that it had to…
You basically just described the XPM format.
Oh yeah... I completely forgot about this thing. But you're right!
There's also XBM.
I love these kinds of formats.

Yes. The section itself says PDF differs significantly from PostScript. The required changes detailed there to transform a PDF to PostScript are substantial: add PostScript implementations of the PDF operators; extract and translate the page content, changing the operator names, decompressing and recompressing text, graphics, and image data, and deleting PDF-only content; translate and insert font data; reorder the c…
The substantial differences are in terms of restrictions to postscript to reduce it to a declarative language rather than a full fledged programming language. A PDF is a collection of isolated, restricted postscript programs (content streams) and the data required for rendering stuffed into one file. The overarching format is a subset of COS. But for all intents and purposes you can imagine this as a tarball containi…
Fun fact, to top it off: The COS format which is the structure behind a PDF, itself looks a lot like postscript, that's because apparently it's originally based on postscript [0] (although it has deviated).

I've been "lurking" on 4chan since it was 2 years old. I think that is more than enough time. Also not interested in conforming to group think on 4chan when the entire point of the place is no censorship.
> I've been "lurking" on 4chan since it was 2 years old. This doesn’t establish credibility because you opened with dead memes from 8 years ago.
What dead meme did I open with?

#9794chan sized site that gets attention from all sorts of unique people...ran ancient php? Ouch
Makes you wonder what all these 'advanced frameworks' have actually offered the internet.. (hard mode: don't mention advertising)
Automatic crash reporting with time travel debugging with capability for graphical snapshots of the frontend.
Bandwidth reductions involving incremental loading of images, or not having to reload the whole site after a click.
Most sites are better off with static pages + server-side rendering + vanilla js though.

It's so funny to read this. I've been involved in "internet culture" since the early to mid 90s. The only thing that I heard about that ever came out of 4chan was toxicity.
That's crazy. The whole "dank memes" thing and terms like based, boomer, wojak, and soy are all from channer culture. 4chan managed to brand gen Z as the "zoomer" generation. Its cultural pervasiveness is impossibly deep.
