  • Hardcoding has nothing to do with whether or not the filter can be disabled.

    I like how you “forgot” to include literally the next sentence.

    Hard-coded data typically can be modified only by editing the source code and recompiling the executable, although it can be changed in memory or on disk using a debugger or hex editor.

    Soft-coded data, on the other hand, encodes arbitrary information through user input, text files, INI files, HTTP server responses, configuration files , preprocessor macros, external constants, databases, command-line arguments, and is determined at runtime.

    The block is soft-coded, not hard coded. And don’t try to selectively quote from a source the other person linked to you, it’s probably just gonna make your dishonestly obvious.




  • At this point it was pretty clear the conversation had run its course, so here we are. And for the record, my long-dead grandfather served in an anti-aircraft unit of the Finnish Army during WW2, defending against the attacks of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is enough to qualify as a “Nazi” in Russia these days.

    a little context from Wikipedia:

    Finland was one of Germany’s most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately.

    also, why is this person trying to dox the owner of archive.today? sounds to me like they fucking deserve the DDoS.


  • There’s such a thing as progressing

    Which we don’t fucking get with democrats. At best, we get the status quo. At worst, we get Nazi collaboration, which is what the current democrat party is. Nazi collaborators.

    Shut the fuck up with this lesser of two evils bullshit. The democrats are fascists as well, they just aren’t honest about it like the republicans are.



  • looking at this antheas’ “postmortem”, it seems they are unusually concerned about Bazzite’s marketability as a commercial OS and also with their supposed right to partial ownership of the Bazzite “trademark”. rather weird behavior for an open-source developer. in their own words:

    Bazzite’s fate is sealed as a non-commercial hobbyist-like OS.

    I sincerely hope so. as the current de-facto pack leader in gaming-focused Linux distros, I would really fucking hate to see the OS monetized in any commercial way. they also recommend people stop donating to Bazzite because “a chunk of those funds will no longer go to me”.

    this person not only sounds toxic, but also like they only care about money.
