"Are we the baddies?" ponders Gen-X's Rush Limbaugh copycat after decades of being a mouthpiece for Russian agitprop.

You were also likely taught that the genocide of indigenous Americans was a past event, too.

I have met people who did not realize that indigenous Americans still exist.

Just remember - we'll get out of this the same way we got out of it the last time.

We'll do it just as soon as enough folks realize last time wasn't resolved peacefully.

Translation: "Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO'd billions into making our users hate us."

Wait, why does George takei attract magas?

Its because he's their most prominent gay, non-white opponent. They don't like it when he reminds them he actually experienced American concentration camps before they were moved to El Salvador.

If you think those are virgins, you've not seen that room under black light.

This is the childish actions of a whiny technofascists that's gotten himself banned for cause. Note the open bigotry right in the README. For some odd reason he feels the need to make an anti-DEI statement. Treat it like the far-right dog whistle it is.

Oh look. Yet another post demanding things from a volunteer-based community without actually volunteering their own time to work on solving the problem they're insisting needs solving.

I'm sure these demands will totally make a difference in ways that putting their time into actually writing code wouldn't.

I've played in the Seed closed beta. It's awful. It's not a game that anyone should invest any time in. I would describe it as the kind of thing self-absorbed developers build because they enjoy the process of building it, not because anyone but them will enjoy using it.

It's a lightly-interactive Sims knock-off with all of the soul stripped out, zero story or narrative creation, and instead we've got Baby's First Toy Economy Systems that are so trivially exploitable that it's ruined every play session I've participated in because the entire world's resources become dominated by 3 players within the first two weeks. There's a barely-funcional civics system where players can elect somebody national leader, and there's a toy government of the president's cronies who can pass policies to alter some national economy settings (tax rate, import/export priorites, etc.).

There's almost nothing stringing any of the game's systems together. The developers appear to have a lot of faith that the player will somehow care about the goings on of their bots. But there's not really all that much going on. Bot-to-bot interactions are shallow and purposeless. There's just nothing going on in the game to latch onto.

As the saying goes - Imitation is the strongest form of flattery that mediocrity can give to greatness.

Call your representatives. Demand they invoke the 25th amendment or Article 2 Section 4 of the US Constitution. Demand they remove an obviously demented and incompetent President from office.

Colloidal Silver packets for every agent. Make ICE ice blue again.

Kissinger died in 2023.

Oh good. Next wave counter-culture is starting to name itself. This is a fun period in any movement.

I was present for the early copyleft era that corporate software development exploited then squashed with more "business-friendly" OSS licenses. Now we're seeing the mega-scale tech companies enshittifying their products necessitating a new wave of open-information counter-culture to fight the Big Tech birthed from the post-dot-com OSS movement.

History doesn't repeat itself. It often rhymes.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Sometimes 20 years of experience is really just 2 years of experience repeated 10 times.

Having time in the seat doesn't necessarily mean you've progressed your learning beyond a certain point.

Pedo-in-Chief needs a PR win. Releases bullshit press release testing public opinion to see if this will prevent release of Epstein Files.

Put whatever qualifiers you want on it. A rapist is a rapist. It's a factual statement and, therefore, is not slander or libelous.

Nice. Good for him.

I first met Chris around 2006 or so. Always been a decent person and very dedicated OSS contributor.

Legality is not morality.
