oh boy it’s gonna be funny/painful to see musk’s biggest fans try to litigate this on Wikipedia with all the banal nothing and weird stalking that trace’s article consists of
yeah man I’m really tired of far right shit on Lemmy like: not wanting an arms manufacturer to have special privileges on an open source project. not liking Russia. maybe a third thing???
fuck off with this lazy shit, nobody’s buying

Your lantern explodes into a rant about the wokes, killing you instantly.
*** You have died ***
Your score is 0 out of a possible 10 points, in 1 move. This gives you the rank of Release Manager.
there is one silver lining: for once, I don’t have the cognitive load of another Nix fork to carefully consider switching to. there’s no way in fuck I’m using Ringer’s fork under any circumstances, and my brain already filed it away under “weird name, starts with an E, don’t remember the rest” seconds after I closed the tab
literally the exact crowd shitting on the mere rumor of a Lix NixOS fork are clapping for this like trained seals. and I don’t think this getting announced right after those rumors is an accident — it gets Jon the most attention for his low-effort bullshit and might even let him hurt another fork by way of community fragmentation
something I’m confused about is, is Ringer even effectively banned anymore? I stopped monitoring when someone with mod privileges unbanned him from a bunch of Nix community spaces. is he back to banned, or is this just a continuing tantrum from Jon having Release Manager stripped from him and given to someone who could do that incredibly thoroughly automated job without stirring up a fucking hate mob?
he has many responsibilities:
- sometimes he disagrees with an article title that’s entirely accurate and people aren’t buying his assertion that it’s clickbait, so he adds a question mark to it to try to make the article look less credible
- tone policing
- ignoring blatant flagging abuse
- adding sites and posters on YC’s shitlist to the autodead filter
- his bonuses are almost definitely predicated on how many of Garry Tan’s many fash friends feel comfortable posting on the orange site
So we’ve got into politics in software. Good lord (spaghetti one, of course)! I thought we already have problem with quality diving in IT, because of all those newcomers wanting money and laziness only.
Sad to see we learned nothing from hundreds of years of wars and occupations. Glad someone mentioned Poland and India. Millions killed by USA joining every war to just sell weapons to both sides of conflict - will be funny too when many people stop dreaming and see this is the truth.
Edit: of course I’m waiting for all this flagging and downvotes, because I’ve spoken badly about The Greatest Nation Ever.
hello my fellow ordinary software developers. lazy newcomers wanting money and laziness, am I right? the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
anyway, here are my astonishingly thin takes on imperialism and why it’s definitely never something Russia does
I’m slowly feasting on this awful shit but I gotta jump in and say it, these posts are the most Russian thing I’ve ever seen:
Just to be clear, I'm not saying good words to any regime. I mean both the US sanction and the Russian invasion suck. I don't want another country bossing over what you can do, and I don't want another country pointing guns on your head either.
Russia is bad, but that doesn't mean I'm in support of bans like this without a reason. Just because you "have the reason to commit crimes" is not strong enough a reason to exclude you! How child's bully it is!
a bunch of these posts are literally the exact documented template that the Internet Research Agency used. so many of them degrade into weird broken English as the poster tries and fails to modify the script for the situation.
this is fucking amazing, seriously. if you want to sharpen your instincts for what foreign state trolling looks like, these are the posts that’ll do it.
how are you this aggressively dull? and I mean that in every possible interpretation of the phrase
pretty much! for a very similar length and style of cameo too
of course they’re one of these
how did you imagine this was gonna go?
- you show up in a community you don’t participate in and post low-quality edgelord atheist horseshit that doesn’t have anything to do with what you replied to
- one of the regulars calls you out on your weird bullshit
- you report them for breaking a rule that doesn’t exist and I go “uhhhh ok!” and they’re the one that gets banned for some reason???
really stretching the meaning of the word release past breaking if it’s only going to be available to companies friendly with OpenAI
so I’m calling it now, this absolute horseshit’s only purpose is desperate critihype. as with previous rounds of this exact same thing, it’ll only exist to give AI influencers a way to feel superior in conversation and grift more research funds. oh of course Strawberry fucks up that prompt but look, my advance access to Orion does so well I’m sure you’ll agree with me it’s AGI! no you can’t prompt it yourself or know how many times I ran the prompt why would I let you do that
there’s something incredibly embarrassing about the fact that Sammy announced the name like a lazy ARG based on a GPT response, which GPT proceeded to absolutely fuck up when asked about. a lot like Strawberry really — there’s so much Binance energy in naming the new version of your product after the stupid shit the last version fucked up, especially if the new version doesn’t fix the problem
