It’s always hilarious when a libertarian appears with Econ 101 arguments about how ACKSHUALLY THERE SHOULDN’T BE A MINIMUM WAGE, HURRR! when the grown-ups are trying to discuss issues that affect real peoples’ lives instead of right-wing economists’ perfectly-spherical models of how things […]

This is very good. It's distressing how many smart people take Scott Alexander seriously and don't recognize how noxious he actually is. segyges.leaflet.pub/3m4yn4yf2lk2d/

"The Economist" has an article titled, I shit you not, “Universal Child Care Can Hurt Children.” What an incredible fucking ghoulish thing to write.

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship. Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

Damn: "Michael Wolff, a longtime chronicler of Trump’s White House who conducted extensive interviews with Epstein prior to his death, told The Daily Beast last month that Epstein had shown him photos of Trump with half-naked 'young girls' in his lap." DOJ Admits to Republicans That Epstein […]

Is there a modern musician who is to Prince what Mika is to Freddy Mercury?

it's amazing how many people show up to tell you you're a naïve goody-two-shoes when you express such a revolutionary idea that perhaps fascists should not be debated, if only because public debates are primarily used to disseminate propaganda, not to prove anything. (and yes, even if the […]

California needs to take this opportunity to enact universal healthcare, and completely fuck private insurers and providers. - Provide healthcare for all who need it without reservation, because it’s a human right. - Seize all private healthcare providers via eminent domain. - Pay doctors and […]

I’m surprised the Apple IIgs community hasn’t created a “Samuel Clemens” logic board design to allow people to make an “Apple IIgs+” like the “Mark Twain” prototypes using existing IIgs (and other) parts. #retrocomputing #iigs

I wish “The Art of Computer Programming” had a public git repository—including properly dated and described revisions.

Based on his response to a bunch of “young” Republicans turning out to be openly Nazi around each other, I bet James Donald “JD Vance” Bowman has said more than a few things in group chats over the years that he’s *absolutely terrified* someone will release.

DoD today confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. - Pentagon Press Association

"The fact that Tilly Norwood and the company behind ChatGPT are simultaneously engendering such controversy is not a coincidence: This is an existential moment for human-created entertainment as we know it. If actors, talent bookers, and studio executives cannot hold the line now, at this very […]

Among the crowning achievements of decades of Black civil rights were integrating public schools, ending Jim Crow, & tearing down walls to Black voting rights incl. Southern states finding ways to dilute Black votes. Now mostly-white jurists are going to dismantle what remains of the latter.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Did what I think is needed to have NetBSD’s `getfsent(3)` indirect through `nsswitch.conf` today, now I just have to write an `nss` plug-in with which to test it.

As one might expect, Trevor Noah has a great take on the Saudi state-sponsored comedy festival.

Trump, the Ellison family and their cynical -- but rich -- acolyte, Weiss, are spitting on the graves of Murrow and Cronkite. They're neutering the remaining honorable journalists. CBS was never perfect. But it once stood for integrity. That's done. It's CBS "News" now […]

Since I know a lot of iOS developers still read what I have to say: Don’t use use a third party “metrics” or advertising stack in your application. Ever. The data gathered by such stacks is being sold, and among the buyers are fascists.

Hey, remember when SJ announced Apple TV and said it wouldn’t have ads? Then WHY THE FUCK does everything on Apple TV+ and the iTunes Store play preroll ads? I pay for this shit, stop putting ads on it. Fucking Eddy Cue and Tim Cook.

What @notalawyer.bsky.social said.

The fediverse is the last information safe harbour on the Internet. Twitter, Facebook, Tick/Tock, etc all promote enragement for engagement which is the bedrock of today's authoritarianism. If you're on BlueSky you've already seen how the new boss is same as the old boss when it comes to […]

From @katelynburns.com Mainstream media has a double standard for scientific facts. https://truthout.org/articles/anti-trans-policy-deserves-same-scrutiny-as-trumps-tylenol-disinformation/

OK, how the hell does one build QEMU from source? I’ve tried to properly initialize submodules but no matter what I try, configure fails because the overlay for berkeley-softfloat-3 isn’t put in place. This is on latest macOS with latest Xcode and the dependencies installed via MacPorts. #qemu

Someone needs to explain to Rep. Ted Lieu in small, simple words that a vote to honor a Nazi is the opposite of a vote “to condemn political violence.” Dipshit.

Has anyone said “Basekampf by 88Signals” yet? (Not mine, got them from a YOSPOS thread.)

Jack Posobiec literally wrote a book that portrayed Democrats as demonic "unhumans" in need of elimination. He is a merchant of hate, and the fact that Charlie Kirk considered him a friend speaks volumes. CNN lapping up his crocodile tears = laundering fascism.

Anyone know someone at the Raspberry Pi Foundation? It seems like they would want to support getting their stuff well-supported in QEMU, and maybe also add things like the Pico 2W to it. (Also maybe SparkFun, AdaFruit, etc.) The response to my feature request seems less than enthusiastic […]

Has anyone ported seL4 to RP2350 yet? #sel4 #rp2350 #embeddedsystems

WTAF? Hakeem Jeffries, along with the rest of House Democratic leadership is voting yes on a resolution to honor fascist Charlie Kirk. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/19/house-resolution-charlie-kirk

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting. 🌹

I just had an excellent idea for an AI-LLM startup that will change software development forever. I’m estimating it’ll take an investment in the high 8 to low 9 figures to make it successful. #ai #llm #founder

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

Fucking snowflakes can't handle Jimmy Kimmel telling jokes about Charlie Kirk they’re trying to cancel him. What overly-sensitive crybabies.

That means more than just not being able to have one interface for all devices. You can’t have a single API for all devices either; designing for one paradigm or another isn’t just a matter of a couple fucking conditional statements in your code, it must be holistic. And with proper separation […]

There is no such thing as a single human interface that works well on the TV, in AR/VR, in the hand, on a tablet, and on a desktop. The only reason anyone even remotely pretends such a thing exists is to save money. And if you want a good human interface, you can’t fucking cheap out on it, you […]

God, iOS 26 looks like shit. Alan Dye should be fired.

Imagine: Zybourne Clock Game Jam

Anyone sufficiently familiar with IBM POWER systems who might be able to tell me why AIX 7.2 in an LPAR thinks my S824 has 16 CPUs, but my HMC thinks it only has 8—and thus will only allow me to assign up to 8? I don’t *think* it’s either a licensing or SMT thing… #ibm #power

How does one disable Patreon’s algorithmic timeline? Seems like we should be able to, given that we’re actually paying customers and not just pairs of eyeballs getting things for free. #patreon #enshittification

A more complete summary would be that Kirk believed the Biblical charge to love thy neighbor was fully compatible with what he saw as the correct treatment of gays, death by stoning.

Hard to tell if people are lying or stupid at this point.

MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd for saying that Charlie Kirk pushed hate. Meanwhile, over at FOX, Brian Kilmeade floats “involuntarily lethal injection” for the homeless. https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/fox-news-host-mentally-ill-people-who-commit-crimes-just-kill-them

Republicans gaslighting us all that they are opposed to political violence in the name of pursuing even more political violence is brazen and infuriating, but expected. What is really revealing is the way that centrist and liberal establishment 100% plays along with the lie.

[uspol; CK] I desperately need these supposed left-leaning people tripping over themselves to say nice things about CK to please take a seat on a cactus. He was a vile human who advanced hateful causes and pushed disgusting fascist propaganda at children. Get the fuck over it! You do not owe […]

I'm in the second camp. Doing it politely is not more legitimate than doing it impolitely. Doing it impolitely is not more legitimate than doing it violently. It's not a legitimate political goal in a free society to strip your fellow citizens of their freedom, it's dangerous extremism.

Ignore every pundit talking about stopping political violence on “both sides”. Only one side fetishizes guns and warfare. These same pundits who criticize California Democrats for standing up to Trump and Texas Republicans, were too cowardly to call out the latter trying to rig the midterms.

Were Nazi propagandists responsible for the deaths of those the Nazis targeted?
