state-sponsored spam." - Torvalds

How do you interpret these words?

@mcc @futurebird @elm considering that dog sized ants is pretty much what humans are I would say no, their is not enough energy bio chemically available for dog sized ants on our planet.

Kindness is not "OMG dude, thank you so much for putting a link to a eugenics-pushing muppet's shitty opinions about autism in my replies! Let's discuss Nazi shit as if this is still a debate worth having! I have so much free time for reply guys! Yay!"

Sometimes kindness is "GTFO" and a block.

What the sealion does with that is his business; I will always side with neurodivergent people who aren't fascists.

I love having the world's information organized

@mrsbeanbag you might turn out to be more right then I thought, news recently reached me that the DOJ is opening a probe into Swedens sale of Gripen to Brazil. They already did it once before, otherwise this would be the kind of pressure that I would expect.

Every sale of military equipment is corrupt, but is also covered by national immunity. An investigation can't really do much, other than apply diplomatic pressure.

@mrsbeanbag I may have described NATO HQ as an office building in Belgium, but after recent expansion it's the third largest office building in the world. After the Octogon, where the Egyptian dod is housed, and the Pentagon where the us dod is taking up space.

@ekg God destroys the military headquarters of a vast totalitarian empire. the tabloid press: "God hates it when everyone speaks the same language"

@mrsbeanbag I like the description of the Bible as an tabloid, I think that is an fair assessment of the amount of trust to place in its words.

@ekg new theory about the purpose of the Tower of Babel just dropped

@ekg i just looked it up and i now consider it a crime nobody calls it The Big Zipper

@mrsbeanbag I want to point out that NATO have expanded faster then the newly dubbed The Big Zipper, forcing newer members, including Sweden, to send their delegation to nearby buildings instead. Housing military command is a true challenge, requiring some of the most impressive infrastructure we humans build.

I feel like some people don’t fully appreciate the gravity of a situation where WaHo preemptively closes stores.

Vote for whomever will cause the least amount of harm up and down the ballot. Your choices are poor, I sympathize.

@vozercozer accessibility settings is inherently stupid, it denormalise certain needs/usage.

hiding settings that people that are having trouble using your device needs, to make it functional is also stupid.

Reviewers are being "meh" on Zen 5, but if you are a perf/SIMD junky this article does a great job discussing why Zen 5 is good and its going to take time for the perf benefits to show up in software. http://numberworld.org/blogs/2024_8_7_zen5_avx512_teardown/

Solidarity with the Russian civilians being bombed by the Russian government to protect the Putin regime from the consequences of a war of imperialist aggression he started.

I was enjoying my book and coffee when I felt the irrepressible need to pick up my phone.
Realizing I had nothing to look at on it, I'm just making this post instead

@gsuberland and subtitle everything, I hate when they don't subtitle the English in Korean drama. No I don't use subtitles because I don't understand Korean, I use them because I can't hear what the actors are saying.
