How a careless, incompetent developer worked fast and broke things, specifically his company’s production database.

H-1B visa go brrr. 𝕏ittr is probably nothing but H-1B workers getting overworked and underpaid.

The KLF did this once.

I guess they’re pegged to USD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_hryvnia#Exchange_rates

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the official exchange rate of hryvnia was fixed at ₴29.25 per U.S. dollar and ₴33.17 per euro. On 21 July 2022, it was devalued to ₴36.5686 per US dollar, to bring it into alignment with the black market.

🙏🍆👄 No Zionazis.

It’s a bug. Mods aren’t doing it intentionally, and most dislike it as much as everyone else.

Even if China were doing that, what would they do with the information? Nothing, because they don’t give a shit about you, because you’re on the other side of the planet. They’re not doing that because they’re not cartoon villains wasting their time and effort on nefarious plots against Western randos.

Also, almost all of your current hardware came from China, so I guess you’re not actually that worried about it.

I’ll use whichever is being used; all I ask for is consistency in a project.

Who quotes Eliezer Roko's basilisk Yudkowsky 🤔 Apparently the NYT 💀

Average horseshoe theorist. Previously.

Bad faith ad hominems from dirt-digging are obnoxious, and this one especially so, because it’s so blatant and such thin gruel.

How can the mod be a turbolib when he claims to be “vaguely leftist”? /s

Maybe he’s simply lying, but I suspect it’s that he’s oblivious to or suppressing his own unexamined political positions.

What things are we malevolent tankies going to do, aside from voicing our opinions in the fediverse? Enforce authoritarian bedtime?

One of the c/MeanwhileOnGrad mods is a power poster who permabans anyone as a “tankie” for making even the mildest of criticisms. Ironic for someone so vociferous about “authoritarianism.”
