Wild to think what hexbear would have been like had it existed back then, the news mega I mean.

Collapse of the USSR would probably crash the site, permanently.

Funny how the same people who write this are chronically online on X dot com which as far as I know, didn’t exist back then.

I never found the right phrase (contempt culture) to describe it but it is unfortunately still too prevalent in computing. The reference to CoC backlash is still very common in some projects/spaces right now and it hits me really hard because ive read about queer and trans contributors feeling unsafe or leaving because of it and things like it (Asahi Linux project comes to mind which had *Chan trolls transvestigating the project leaders, fucking yikes).

I think its more prevalent since the passion people have about programming is unfortunately not where any of the money and livelihoods are (thanks to capitalism) and so there’s this need to be loud and project more.

I like the article you shared on contempt culture, really good for self-crit.

My struggle session comment could be better explained as I believe most programming happens when people get together to discuss many different solutions to a problem rather than the act of coding itself.

LLMs feel like the “learn to code” bootcamp grifts that repackage language manuals as slideshows rather than giving actual experience but cranked to 11. Being told that your field is going to die in a couple years hurts no matter who you are.

I’m sorry for being so curt. The bad vibes I got from that article really bled into me.

Web is huge and nodejs was groundbreaking, but I just feel very miffed that the people who were part of the big push to Web as the de-facto development platform whether they intended to or not are now selling themselves as missionaries for silicon valley, this bubbling optimistic enthusiasm feels so off to me.

Creator of nodejs? Fucking dipshit loser who lowered my quality of life. Lemmy does not use nodejs.

Computer programming is one long struggle session among the nerdiest people you ever know, not this pompous Zionist level delusions of self grandeur.

Shitty live action remake to sucker in fans of the original material.

A lot of spies in the global south have ties to their respective diaspora communities. There is no north Korean diaspora community unless you count being a TV freakshow in hell joseon.

The UN declaring that NKs should be kidnapped and trafficked to south Korea where they will be likely imprisoned in poverty and discrimination for the rest of their lives has not done anything to actually flip anyone who matters.

Being a NK “defector” already means being labeled as an enemy of the DPRK, literally no space for infiltration unless, again, you count being a racist zoo spectacle for true crime enjoyers.

The hippies won in Woodstock in the 60s and thats why everyone hates me, the billionaire who openly manipulates society and hoards his wealth!

“I reject my humanity, JOJO!”

Wait till you hear about LoongsonTM.

No its a throwback to this.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Big Oden energy from this flashback so I’m guessing that’s why we are getting a speedrun version of it as it’ll focus on Loki and Hajrudin more.

We see Oda dealing with the theme of bloodlines and culture here. Hajrudin wasn’t accepted by the Elbaph cultural elite and since Harald didn’t want to rock the boat and compromise at home while he was on a diplomatic mission he went along with it. Harald questions why the World Government keeps blocking his diplomatic missions but also himself submits to the cultural stigma of elbaph.

Loki was born with crazy genetics, most likely the peak of genetic ability we’ll see in the series besides Big Mom. But he also was born “cursed” despite meeting Elbaph’s cultural standards of being a warrior and having pure blood. On the topic of Big Mom, I really hope it wasn’t Loki’s eyes that made Lola reject Loki because that would just be brutal.

I do like that the twist of Loki’s eyes is that he’s just ugly af and it’s not some corny observation haki overload.

Rip to Elbaf as Elbaph is dancing on its grave rn, Oda loves trolling us smh.

Happened to me as well with a lenovo yoga that I had, the bottom of the laptop came off basically because it wasn’t glued in correctly.

I have a macbook running GNU/Linux now so I’m chilling, also Thinkpads have been good to me so far.

Which in other words is like obeying line goes up, full death cult society.

We “tankies” should just reclaim the word authoritarianism for ourselves and use it to describe anyone who resists capital.

concluding the implementation of the decisions made at the Eighth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

You mean a democracy made this beach front?

Uncritical support to the WPK in their struggle to liberate occupied Korea.

Nintendo will never port their games outside of their own consoles because their console division would collapse.

Joke fucking company, not even in imperial core capitalism do your treats stay sweet and everyone who bought this shit is a sucker. You could have just gotten a Steam Deck OLED that would outlast even you.

Freedom of speech isn’t a real thing lmao.

The US kidnaps people and imprisons them in cruel conditions if they have soccer tattoos.

The FBI sent letters to MLK Jr. telling him to end his own life.

The US stole indigenous land by writing deals they would break.

China did what? Give free education? Crush a cult (Falun Gong) lift 800 million people out of poverty as defined by the World Bank

When you’re in hexbear you better come heavy with materialist analysis and citations or dont come at all.

Your earlier mention about bias indicators should have come with a link at the very least.

China already sells surveillance equipment to willing buyers in the EU and Asia. Pakistan’s Chinese weaponry has already shown itself.

Governments already seek China’s level of authority, it’s the only way forward.
