there is no unobjectionable eugenics

tbh i would not call richard hanania “an ex-white nationalist”; he's a white supremacist through and through and never stopped, also, freddie deboer is as far to the left as the late unlamented gregor strasser, and probably much less.

and even with these caveats, it's a pretty damning piece, even if every other careful reader is probably aware that siskind engages in whitewashing scientific racism and white supremacy for fucking decades.

…or just use the qrencode's -t ANSI256 or -t ANSI256UTF8 output format and read your qr code directly from terminal.

and perhaps a little bow to lem's “cyberiad” (automateusz, translated as automatthew, from the story automatthew's friend)

whee, i missed that one completely. it seems that some over-eager hachyderm mod suspended @dgerard@awful.systems 's account. nothing that can be done on our side. (unfortunately i don't have a backchannel to the hachyderm mods).

so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.

and to be clear

  • i didn't think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
  • if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it's perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
  • i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
  • and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master's tools to bring down the master's house.

nah, i'm not going back where i'm clearly not wanted; the mods can take care of this themselves.

bonus: some *chan-pilled gobshite thinks this branch is not cool enough (cw: ableism)

It has no reach. Sorry. I myself go there every few weeks to check last threads, but becoming insular autistic circlejrk circlejerking over other autist made it intellectualy impotent, sorry.


 

from the “i'll drm your arse” and “industrial sabotage r us” department, a true scandal: a polish train manufacturer used firmware to lock out trains at 3rd party service depots in order to disrupt the operations of the trains for the railways who did not choose to service the trains at the manufacturer's; at the same time they blamed the 3rd parties for their inability to properly service the trains.

further reading in polish (but translates via google well): more technical and less technical, but with more political/economical details.
