Ah yes, sorry, I forgot we’re deliberately ignoring all nuance. So I agree: no matter from which perspective we look at it, there’s literally zero reason for the politicians to show a stronger reaction towards completely losing their own power to the fascist regime.

Of course they do if they don’t want an open confrontation with the state’s own forces.

You’re trolling, right? I can’t imagine why I’d have to explain this otherwise.

Laws aren’t magical spells that change reality. If Republicans introduce a law saying “you must have a passport to vote”, people can still vote without a passport as long as nobody prevents them from doing so. Republicans can send ICE to polling stations in blue states to prevent people from voting without a passport.

Oh yeah, because it’s simply impossible for them to send ICE into blue states to “secure the elections”

Yeah, I find it hard to believe this wasn’t their goal, especially considering they found this bug in testing and still released the update: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47994193

I’m also not a fan of Slack, but it doesn’t break new things every week while also putting ads in your face, so that’s a plus.

Teams is also only communication.

Slack isn’t great, but at least a few years ago it was much, much better than Teams

Yes, it is. No, the delays on Youtube don’t come from the performance of the adblocking code, so you won’t notice many differences. But more efficient adblocking is good for everyone - noticeably more so on devices with batteries, but still helpful for everyone.

Last time I went, the doctor just told me “sick prostate bro” and then booped it

All your underwear is crotchless? u nasty

Because it would look much more weird to walk around naked, except for your butt?!

Just like this house isn’t a lie!

Well yes, but have you also considered that line must go up?

Firstly, the GNOME Foundation’s financial woes long predate the rise in AI scrapers.

Sure. Does the Gitlab -> GitHub redirect also long predate the rise in AI scrapers?

I know of no such increase.

If you haven’t been staying up to date, maybe do that before dismissing explanations? The increase in scraping is such a massive issue that it’s been discussed to death again and again, and big parts of the open internet has changed.

You’re basically calling bullshit on a charity having increased fuel prices, because you’re not aware of any Iran conflict!

Ah, and why isn’t it reasonable to assume that the increase in hosting costs which is hitting everyone for the last few months, is also hitting GNOME? Why do you think they are exempt, when even big commercial platforms are struggling with the amount of traffic generated by AI scrapers?

Given that hosting costs have objectively increased across the board due to AI scraping, and the GNOME project just introduced these changes, it is obviously sensible to assume that GNOMEs hosting costs have increased too.

Not righteous at all, bro :(

Oh yeah? And how am I supposed to dry them afterwards, smart guy? With handkerchiefs?!

And yet you’ve done a great job!

This was honestly obvious to anyone who read his many LKML gaffes. There’s no way to maintain a healthy psyche if you constantly butt heads with everyone in your field, while a portion of your “fan base” keeps fueling your non-compromising egocentric views.

Everyone needs a reality check every now and then.
