I know zilch about linux but I think there was some discussion in here about suckless. Well look at what I came across on an honest to god nazi's website*:

*yes, I have reported this site to their web hosting provider.

It's that classic tweet: "this is bad for your cause" says a guy who hates your cause and hates you. The slatestarcodex squad didn't believe there was any reason to protest but thought that if people must protest they should have the decency to do it in a way that didn't cause them to be 5 minutes late on their way to lunch.

nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action are just tactics that work in specific circumstances and can achieve specific goals. pretty much every violent movement for change was supported by non-violent movements. and non-violence often appears in a form that is unacceptable to the slatestarcodex contingent. Like Daniel Berrigan destroying Vietnam draft cards, or Catholic Workers attacking US warplanes with hammers, or Black Lives Matter activists blocking a highway or Meredith and Verity Burgmann running onto the pitch during a South African rugby match.

These guys really are just another boring cult. They're Christian Scientists. They're aesthetic realists.

Also more than the president of the US.

It irks me to see people casually use the term "brutalist" when what they really mean is "modern architecture that I don't like". It really irks me to see people apply the term brutalist to something that has nothing to do with architecture! It's a very specific term!

Depends on if your cat writes a review.

Funnily enough, there are a lot of data centres in Ireland. Maybe there will be a missile strike and Ireland's population will shrink back to 19th century numbers

I'm aware of the idea, but it's still very weird for someone to pretend to be Jewish and also be a Nazi!

Close enough, welcome back Rachel Dolezal. Although in fairness to Rachel Dolezal*, she at least went to work for the NAACP, rather than becoming a footsoldier of fascism.

No wonder this guy thought Zohran Mamdani was trying to lie about his racial identity: he lies like he breathes, and assumes others do too

*You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Rachel Dolezal
