bun_terminator··on Fun facts about SQLite
I have never heard anything else but S-Q-L, in multiple workplaces. What I was new to databases I started with the history lesson, but was quickly corrected to pronounce it S-Q-L.

I don't even know anymore, nor does anyone else I think

> some of the established practice on generating SDFs from masks is incorrect

SDFs are for some reason riddled with false beliefs. Earlier this year it drove me nuts to learn that boolean operations for SDFs are not correct

The little it says about what this even is seems to be wrong. This is not cross-platform at all

yes of course they have, they banned my entire account. Because that's what reddit does. See my points above

I genuinely don't think the word I used is comparable to asshole

Can't you see how extremist this viewpoint is? Raising issues about DEI and diversity hires is not "obviously hostile nonsense".
bun_terminator··on C++ Standards Contributor Expelled for 'The Undefined Behavior Question'
It was clearly not - as it was not the comment referenced in the ban. That - again - is an objective truth.

It word in the other comment was also not a slur, but - surprise surprise - the objective truth, again.

I think it's important context that this huge issue is being silenced on the largest c++ community

> Interesting that you did not choose to voice your opinions using your main accounts on that community then.

I'd love to, but reddit and cpp keep banning/suspending accounts - so I can't! Funny how that works isn't it?

> Nah, that was just the comment I used to get to your profile. I banned you for insulting someone.

That is not true. Here is the message:

> Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/cpp because your comment violates this community's rules. You won't be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.

With the link being to https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1gyiwwc/c_standards_co...

I participated for r/cpp for a very large number of years, including quite a number of high-impact posts - just not with that account.

And would you be so kind to actually link to the comment you banned me for? This is it, for everyone to see and judge:

and r/cpp mods just woke up, banning everyone who question (am I still allowed to use that word?) this lunatic behavior. For context: A week ago, someone out for blood put out a slander article referencing this amongst other things.

edit: After going on a banning spree, foonathan nuked the thread with "I am not going to deal with this on a Sunday". Nice

bun_terminator··on Majority of people believe their devices spy on them to serve up ads
phones listen to conversations. I can't believe there are people trying to deny that. It's as obvious as the sky is blue. It's a running gag at this point
bun_terminator··on Banned from Bluesky Within 30s
The the profiles post was blocked - and likely will be all its future content, so it was literally banned. That's true regardless of you cheer to censor the truth or not

bun_terminator··on Microsoft is basically discontinuing Windows. What will happen, then?
yeah, it's awful. I have a 32gig machine and "only" windows 10. And have to go back to micro-managing memory like in winxp times. Restarting programs from time to time - and rebooting every couple of days. Inb4 "free memory is wasted memory" apologists. Programs just flat out refuse to start or crash when memory is >85%.

I appreciate the effort to leave out the "And now for something completely different" section (on https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130/) after the previous drama.
bun_terminator··on Reddit policy changes make sitewide protests nearly impossible
bots voting is orthogonal to moderating. And illegal content: Maybe, but it'll get downvoted=hidden, so not a problem. "Moderation" is inversely proportional to quality in literally every online community in existence.

Just not having moderators - the end. The site has a voting mechanism that will take care of most spammers and other vermin
