that post just makes me so sad for brianna wu, i'm sure someone will be like "who cares" but like what an incredibly sad way to live your life

as long as the site is run like the primary decision making factor is the personal feelings of staff or people close to staff, people upset with site decisions will of course go after those same personal feelings and the people with those feelings

part of why the reaction to the bsky staff is always so loud is because the moderation on this site hides behind composable moderation to avoid making hard calls while constantly messing up easy calls that composable moderation says they shouldn't be making at all

passive aggression is the bastion of the coward

telling me that your excellent understanding is just out of frame, laughing, is exactly the kind of antisocial behavior that you fail to perceive

what you want isn't social engagement, what you want is agreement with your priors, and you default to smug condescension when you don't get it

i'd say that cherry picking particularly egregious posts and using them as examples of a much broader discourse in order to shut down any avenues of systemic criticism before they can be opened is *far* more antisocial a behavior than some dipshit logging on and calling you a slur

it's not. it's BAD behavior, but it's not antisocial. what do you think the word social means? what do you think social behavior is?

social feedback is not antisocial behavior, it's the exact opposite

that's kind of the problem here, what you want isn't social behavior, it's uninterrupted ass patting. which is how you end up with people like why blocking 300,000 people over some mean posts - actual antisocial behavior

When the devs pipe up

the *first* thing you 'need' is a coalition with morally rooted principles that is willing to fight for those principles. if you don't have that, you have nothing

this assumes 'need' is solely defined by some ~pure game theory~ nonsense instead of asserting the more correct position which is that any coalition willing to throw trans people onto the fire for cynical, self-serving gain is itself a fascist pedo coalition

AI has made forms of mental illness formerly only available to the stupendously wealthy accessible to the common man.

correct, that is an actual post

@papapishu: Palantir used to have affinity groups and DEI as late as 2022, and I had the logos saved on my phone because they pissed me off so much and of course they buried those pages. But I never forgot. @KillGoldfish: Something that opened my eyes was learning that all those corporate “affinity groups” are a relic of when corporations were allowed to have “yellow unions” (fake unions the corporation ran). They’re a form of pro-active union-busting. @legalminimum: Having been the exec sponsor of many affinity groups in my time: no. @evangelleion: i dont think an executive's opinion is particularly relevant here @legalminimum: If you say so.

lmfao

please, catturd, eat some fiber!!

lol at the busload of posters who were blindfolded on the way here who don't know where they are or what they're doing but are earnestly curious about hearing about any examples

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

it's been a real problem for decades

this isn't a new thing either. the USAF's tanker shortage, for example, isn't a problem of funding per se, the kc-46 costs 10x as much as a kc-135 despite being objectively worse. and the -46 program sucked up so much money and attention that the -Y and -Z acquisitions aren't even on the horizon

logistics are the most important part of projecting power, but shipping and airlift and air refueling and having tiny bases everywhere aren't sexy ideas, so it's also the first thing neglected when you have a dipshit high speed low drag guy at any level calling any shot

Some people have misunderstood this.

We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible.

This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

lol at the reply + block combo, love to know a post found its mark

this is an argument from the perspective of someone who thinks the worst thing one can do is make a mean tweet

the office of the chief of naval operations tweeted "Statement on Claims of Food Shortages aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli: Recent reports alleging foot shortages and poor quality aboard our deployed ships are false." pete hegseth quote tweeted this, saying "The @USNavy is correct. More FAKE NEWS from the Pharisee Press. My team confirmed the logistics stats for the Lincoln and Tripoli. Both have 30+ days of Class I supplies (food) on board. NavCent monitors this everyday, for every ship. Our sailors deserve - and receive - the best."
