Mega thread on who is behind these age verification laws, spoiler alert it’s Meta.

I wish this chatbot on chess.com had a different line of dialogue for when it starts to lose

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Hey slightly serious post, please share if you can: if you are a #software developer in the #Australia area and are looking for a #tech job, please reach out to me.

crazy that this is happening in a country which a) bans social media for u16s and b) blocks access to The Pirate Bay

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

The US is a rogue state. We need to be out of AUKUS immediately.

This is an excellent piece.

Having your own website is such a wonderful act of defiance these days.

We have come full circle from "of course we only use AI for prototypes" over "AI is amazing but obviously it needs experts checking on the output and extensive refacoring" to "let's just ship the slop".

It’s so dumb. Just so dumb.

Because they are white, the media calls them a “brat pack” not white gangs. Remember when the racist Australian media spread fear of (nonexistent) African gangs and white people feeling unsafe to go to restaurants?

Oof. A little too real.

As a very long time vim user, I’ve had to embrace an IDE at work, and while there’s a lot to like, holy shit I spend a lot of time massaging the IDE’s pathologies.

Could all the American influencers pushing in tandem for more guns in Australian just Fuck. The. Hell. Off. Thank you.

A wrong Grok post making up a white guy who stopped the Australian mass shooting.

BBC 'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed Emily Atkinson Sun, December 14, 2025 at 1:06 p.m. CST 2 min read A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed. Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat. Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Press conference beginning now. 12 deaths plus one of the shooters. "This attack was designed to target Sydney's Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah... this attack is being designated as a terrorism event."

there you have it.

This… cannot be real… can it?

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Ahahahaha, with what safe places for young people in our society?

and what about the adults who now have to surrender their anonymity to post online?

Outlaws (1997)

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I effectively grew up on games developed by id Software.

But I'm happy as fuck that somewhere in my late 20s I swapped from idolising John Carmack for tech reasons, to John Romero for simply being a better person.
