Besides the general security risk of they run trojaned clients, if they run it in the office they’re spending the company’s electricity

It’s called incident response

Tech recruiters are the worst, almost nobody actually understands technology so they just pick based on the fanciest education and whatnot because they don’t understand how to judge experience

You could import fabric physics and just have it lie there, but that’s going to be a bigger hit on performance than you possibly can imagine and it will move weirdly (in large part becomes we’re not modeling wind, just fabric in a vacuum) and the model features it will lie on top of won’t deform accurately from the simulated weight, etc…

Make sure to hit the Ballmer’s peak

He doesn’t do a lot of gaming videos now, but it does seem so. He talked about Proton and running OBS, so for anything Linux compatible via Proton is likely that’s what he’s doing

Same. While I don’t necessarily do anything to actively avoid branding, I won’t wear anything where it’s prominent.

Bonus point if you bring stuff mainly from bankrupt companies

The initial explosion sending them off is worse than the collision (especially with soil)

Sprinklers and all kinds of stuff are more efficient with sensors and electronic regulators

The API has the wrong abstraction and the type definitions fail to capture necessary information (such as in which year you were of the given age) and thus conversions can not be guaranteed to be correct

How to we know what to test? Maybe with some kind of specification?

Right wingers are being taught to believe all pushback against the beliefs fed to them are illegitimate and personal attacks, it’s cult like behavior to make it harder for them to learn and change.

Reddit admins are insanely biased towards right wingers. They talk about the same free speech bullshit while only allowing one side to speak freely.

They tolerated brigades organized by them for years despite brigades being prohibited, they allowed T_D to absolutely dominate the front page by vote manipulation until a huge majority of the site got too outraged (that’s when the 2 post cap/day per sub was set, along with ignoring votes on pinned posts). T_D screamed and screamed and screamed about being censored when that happened (nothing was even removed), and everybody else was happy reddit FINALLY AFTER YEARS did something, anything, to make the site a bit more usable again. Tons of left leaning subs were banned long before they ever touched any far right extremism.

The left wing bias you might have seen comes from moderators who actually have expertise on their subjects (like science subreddits), not from the admins

Insanity. You’re telling yourself that the groups which prides itself on hate are more receptive to you than groups which promotes cooperation and understanding? Maybe ask a psychiatrist what that says about you. You’re supposed to be tolerant to people who act in good faith, but nobody must be tolerant to hate.

The right is full of infighting too, but it’s about who is the most devoted to the dear leader. Challenge their arguments openly and you’ll see them act far worse than any leftist you’ve ever seen.

I hate them.

I run a cryptography forum on reddit (now here too). On reddit it’s /r/crypto. Before the random suggested usernames every spam operation had to make up their own random username scheme. They ended up being mostly distinguishable because they used patterns normal people didn’t. Now? A ton of users with limited activity are now indistinguishable from bots. So the subreddit has to be in restricted mode so only approved users can post, and for anybody with ambiguous post history I have to send them a request for more detail to be able to keep spammers out while still allowing genuine newbies to join to ask questions. Otherwise the spam volume just ends up being way too intense.

Of course a group of people could use violence to oppress other people. But then you no longer have anarchy.

The irony is that the amount of coordination needed to protect anarchism would no longer be called anarchism

You will always end up recreating some form of organizations to manage resources. The best you can do is ensure those organizations are structured with accountability to make sure they’re fair to everybody

Bridgy started without that requirement and it pissed off too many Mastodonians so they reworked it

If you’ve already noticed incoming traffic is weird, you try to look for what distinguishes the sources you don’t want. You write rules looking at the behaviors like user agent, order of requests, IP ranges, etc, and put it in your web server and tells it to check if the incoming request matches the rules as a session starts.

Unless you’re a high value target for them, they won’t put endless resources into making their systems mimic regular clients. They might keep changing IP ranges, but that usually happens ~weekly and you can just check the logs and ban new ranges within minutes. Changing client behavior to blend in is harder at scale - bots simply won’t look for the same things as humans in the same ways, they’re too consistent, even when they try to be random they’re too consistently random.

When enough rules match, you throw in either a redirect or an internal URL rewrite rule for that session to point them to something different.
