Known paedophile Steve Huffman is apparently very scared, as they are now attempting to scrub posts of Kenny Klipp's publishing of Luigi's Mansionfesto

Mario, if you're out there, remember that techbros both enthusiastically support and enable/develop social murder too

and BOY do they; i got kicked with extreme prejudice out of my first software engineering job for asking question about the impact our service (gambling) had on people and ended up on blacklist that required me to move to the other side of the country just to become employable again.

Someone named Mario could do something very funny right now if they wanted to

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

I only know Mario Batali, but it would make Luigi far less problematic by comparison.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

So I've read a much longer "manifesto" than the one posted by Kenny Klipp, and it's a shit ton more coherent, too, and actually reads like a valedictorian/Penn graduate wrote it.

yeah pretty sure this was one of the unconfirmed/fakes from early on, but there was some confusion as MSM were both reporting that the manifesto was "handwritten" and quoted lines from Klipp's reporting, but also stated it was "three pages" allowing longer essays to get flagged as the possible real thing

What if it's real?? Looks more legit than the released one to me. And looking at his writing purely from a political education point of view compared to what he expressed in his (dated) internet posts and reading lists it seems to line up. He was at the capitalism is bad stage and wasn't aware of any valid alternatives.

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

yeah, i'll be real: a lot of people were saying "lmao" to the first fake manifesto, but from a perspective of what we had gathered from the social media info, if that first manifesto were real I would say he was kinda cooking as much as someone with absolutely no coherent ideology could cook. Like, they were the words of someone either starting to realise what was wrong or at least pretending to be such a person.

There's an interesting irony that happens in the tech field that the jobs that often advertise as "valuable" and "moral" to society ultimately are actually some of the most damaging. The typical business model is neoliberalizing, what in a just society, would be public-owned infrastructure. A lot of these developers who think they're "doing good" are often simply building private roads at the expense of the public roads.
