HereIGoAgain··on EFF is leaving X
You mostly jest here i think but that seems to be the actual strategy and logic of progressive activist types so often. I mean all side tend to stick with their groups but progressives seemed to have created an argument that demands disassociation and disengagement with people they deem transgressive to the approved opinions and positions on so many issues.

That's circular nonsense. It makes you someone who doesn't want others to have speech. It's not self defeating, it's the entire point of defending universal rights, especially speech.

You throw around terms like "Dehumanization" while referencing people you specifically disagree with using names like "tyrants".. without even hint of irony.

Fallacies, like the paradox of tolerance specifically, is a paradox expressly because it makes the invoker guilty of the very thing they justify their actions on. Even as a flawed and useless concept (in a free society at least) it was only ever meant to be used theoretically as a last ditch emergency response. And certainly not simply as means to control unfavorable or illiberal thought.

Worse yet, it's all predicated on the claims that "they would have totally did it to me if i didn't do it first" Which brings up the other flawed aspect of the concept.. It becomes a race to silence the other side first.. Of course that's assuming it was the intent of both to begin with. Not used merely as a tool of political oppression.

Well if you look at board you see that more than one member served in the Obama admin or directly worked for it at some point.

Yeah, the idea that this is simply, mostly or even partly about engagement/eyes is bunk on it's face. I'd even argue it a bad faith position to defend.
HereIGoAgain··on Show HN: Draw a fish and watch it swim with the others
Cool
HereIGoAgain··on Resigning as Asahi Linux project lead
Don' let the door hit you on the way out i guess. I mean it sounds mean but the scene can do with less toxic types like this, who try to bully people who know better, in order to get their way. Even worse in this case since he actually tried to create a social media shit-storm against those he disagreed with.

He even has defenders calling for yet more CoCs in order to better "deal with" people who "get in the way." It doesn't get much more toxic than that.

HereIGoAgain··on Resigning as Asahi Linux project lead
All the extrajudicial stuff is pure political and ideological wank by a subset of ideological extremists. Pay no attention to any of it. It's an attempt to redefine the term for narrative creation purposes.
HereIGoAgain··on Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin resigns from Linux kernel
The short of his rant is that he wants a "Code Of Standards for maintainers" in addition to a CoC, in order to witch hunt people he feels "gets in the way."

Yikes, this is EXACTLY what Linus was talking about except an order of magnitude worse!

HereIGoAgain··on Zero-click Windows TCP/IP RCE impacts all systems with IPv6 enabled, patch now
For the sake of this issue here, does it matter which is used i wonder, because I have been unable to find any source willing to spell it out. (that is, is simply turning it off on the adapter enough)
HereIGoAgain··on Zero-click Windows TCP/IP RCE impacts all systems with IPv6 enabled, patch now
IPv6 has been disabled at the adapter level on my system for years. Or does it have to be reg edit and all too?
HereIGoAgain··on Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Yup, I've been waiting to see someone point this detail out in response to the rosy adoption numbers.
HereIGoAgain··on Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This
HereIGoAgain··on Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Jokes on them, i've had IPv6 disabled at the adapter level for years.
HereIGoAgain··on How the American war on porn could change the way you use the internet
It's even worse than that. Even if these did work, the goal isn't just to make it harder.. These will act as a chilling effect on viewing, the first time there is a security risk, or it become convenient, the information will be out there. Or at least the risk and fear of such.
HereIGoAgain··on Roku files patent to inject ads via HDMI
Number 02 is one of the major one i was thinking of. This shit is evil. I don't see them surviving long if they ever attempted to push this crap.
HereIGoAgain··on Roku files patent to inject ads via HDMI
And even deeper on my blacklist your company goes!

Who did they think this was a good idea? They are doomed.. Who is going to buy this crap?

HereIGoAgain··on Roku looks into serving you ads on whatever you plug into its TVs
Onto the blacklist you go.. I mean if it wasn't on it already to begin with because of the mere idea of hardware based ads.

I'm not sure how they plan on surviving as a hardware maker. Who is going to buy this crap?

HereIGoAgain··on "If nothing changes, all remaining Nitter instances will go down eventually"
Same.
HereIGoAgain··on "If nothing changes, all remaining Nitter instances will go down eventually"
And with that twitter is once again dead to me.. Not even by choice. The layout/UI is utter crap and my computer hates it. I refuse to use it. For a short time i was able to read things.. guess it's back to nothing again. lol
HereIGoAgain··on An 'AI' fast food drive-thru is mostly just human workers in the Philippines
Wouldn't be surprising.
HereIGoAgain··on NASA says SpaceX’s next Starship flight could test refueling tech
This is pretty cool. We need to be putting a lot more resources into space tech TBH. It should ideally be a single digit percentage of the budget/GDP as a starting point. The future of mankind really rest on it.
HereIGoAgain··on The Transformations of Science
Interesting read.. Brings up some good points.
HereIGoAgain··on China’s new map outrages its neighbors
It's amazing and creepy when people talk about this sort of thing like it was a simple, silly claims, talk.. We are talking about a country that as stolen, militarized and laid exclusive claim to many of the places they make claim to in this map.. In many cases land and ocean unambiguously part of other nations. These aren't blowhards merely talking loudly!
HereIGoAgain··on ISPs should not police online speech no matter how awful it is
This has been a clear danger for a while now. Beyond just mere danger at this point in fact. You guys are late to the party but it is nice to see you guys catching.

This is the literal death of the internet if nothing is done to stop it.

HereIGoAgain··on Germany is debating whether to ban AfD as the party surges to 21% in the polls
What a shortsighted, dangerous and all around undemocratic concept. It's scary that Germany of all places would willingly play such a dangerous and disingenuous game.
HereIGoAgain··on Complaint filed against Hurricane Electric for blocking site
Is this really good satire or a really bad uninformed take?
HereIGoAgain··on Complaint filed against Hurricane Electric for blocking site
All power to them.

This is a dangerous moment in internet history. The line between its destruction, at the VERY LEAST in principle, and continued existence is in the air.. And all most people can think about is how much they don't like what a bunch of people post in their own little corner of the net.

HereIGoAgain··on Complaint filed against Hurricane Electric for blocking site
No, it actually doesn't. The only person who even casually mentions KF, can't even be confirmed dead. Only hearsay through a friend of a friend etc.
HereIGoAgain··on Harica postpones revocation of TLS certificates for Onion site of Kiwifarms
Why are they even threatening? This is pretty scary. They have a specific role, and it isn't judging who is allowed authenticate and who's not! This is an even bigger issue than the network level attempts to censor and much bigger than the DDoS protection dropping. The internet is being fundamentally broken by this sites stalkers and harassers and most of the media and tech is either ignoring it or actively cheering it on!
HereIGoAgain··on How Climate Scenarios Lost Touch with Reality
Pretty good read. They bring up quite a few good points.
