She told me not to mess around
But I done let the deal go down
Move it on over, rock it on over
Move over, nice dog, a big, fat dog is movin' in

how has he not been banned from twitter is the better question

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

He's responsible for like 50% of non-bot traffic is my guess

He is saying on twitter that it was for posting the below email from Jeffrey Epstein to Deepak Chopra:

I haven't checked whether this email is real or if he was trolling, but Chopra does show up in the emails several times

EDIT: It's real.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why would he get banned for that?

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How dare he imply anyone other than Trump and Putin are in the Epstein files, unless you're actively turning this into Russiagate nonsense you're the enemy

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

I'm so mad at the libs (especially journos) for burying this in blueanon nonsense again.

Deepak Chopra getting a fever dream idea for an app that "detects an aura" and going "wow" re: his own idea is peak Deepak Chopra

[–] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

If anything, the Epstein file releases have affirmed to me that capitalism rewards people independently of societal merit.

....

Because what the FUCK are they even talking about here?

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am repeating once again: it's not that merit is not rewarded, it's that what is "meritous" is not what you think

[–] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What I think is meritous is more correct than them.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

shrug-outta-hecks that's just like, your opinion man.

Their opinion pays for Academi mercs and Pinkertons.

I'll be the smugest pinkerton-made corpse ever to hit the ground just you wait 07

What’s with the damn = ?

[–] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It has something to do with the way servers/protocol broke up emails into lines and stored the lines using = as demarcation. Whenever the emails were assembled, the = remained. We had a thread about it yesterday or the day before.

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Do you have a link to that thread?

Because it often appears in place of 'I's and 'E's as if the emails were printed then re-digitalised with OCR(the top and bottom bars on I and E in certain fonts could trigger certain OCRs algos to read it as =)

It also appears to replace characters rather than being appended like you'd expect with a separation flag(chars in unused unicode spaces are also more likely to be used for that function than something commonly used in text like =), I could be wrong though so I'm interested in seeing the discussion

[–] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do not. I just spent about 10 mins trying to find it. It's not in c/technology or c/chapotraphouse, that I can see. Searching "=" or any other relevant key words for posts or comments doesn't bring it up. IDK.

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No worries, thanks for looking(I assume you also checked your browser history)

[–] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it was this I saw (thanks to astronot)

Really easy to confuse hexbear with r/trueanon since everyone just reposts from there all the time.

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.

Yeah it looks like the digital rot version of copier burn.

[–] astronot@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I don't have a link to the thread over here, but this article explains it in depth

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Terrible OCR I believe.
Why emails need OCR is a mystery however

[–] NonWonderDog@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

In short, emails still use an old ASCII protocol from the 80s, and old servers used unix tools that read pipes line-by-line.
To avoid emails with long lines slowing down the servers, they break long lines before sending them.
Because it's ASCII, they use an ASCII control sequence to mark inserted line breaks.
That sequence is =␍␊.
There's some sequence of screwups in the email export that ended up with last word =␍␊first word getting replaced with last word =irst word instead of last word first word.

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the explanation, what's up with = appearing in the middle of words? does the protocol inserts breaks after a set number of chars, rather in the nearest whitespace to a set number of chars?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

Probably not being outraged at Trump enough.

Please tell me you're joking and this is not how I find out one of my favs died.

Edit: Ohthank god. He is 88 though...
