what's the matter with the nyt recently?

RECENTLY?? Did you not see the 2 years of, "Biden incompetent because old, Kamila incompetent because woman" articles? It's blatantly been run by, or at least edited by, conservatives just based on the open front and center messaging. All legacy media is seemly operated by Republicans constantly thrashing the left and empowering the right. Making the left comfortable with openly supporting the fascist right has been their number 1 goal for the last several years.

Bill got no chill

Reply in thread

I don't think I've ever heard a single Democrat say they would defend Bill Clinton in person lol. It's wild how the right is pretending we deeply care about bill. I won't care if he burns over this; I sure hope their cult leader does too. Fuck 'em both. But yeah like they clearly released everything about Clinton and it's not nearly as wretched as Trump raping the 14 year old pregnant girl and then participating in killing her baby.

I have to believe these people used black highlighter so this stuff could come to light. The alternative of them being this stupid is wild to me.

After three years since the original crackdown on third party clients, RIF appears to be inoperable with user account API keys

Reply in thread

You could make a burner reddit account, sign up for a developer key, fork the source from RIF, feed it the developer key and keep making free queries to the API with your dev key. Essentially in the final update for RIF the developer made the application just hoover up old.reddit.com and pass it into the reader.

With your Dev key bypassing the cost to browse old.reddit.com the application worked near flawlessly for about 3 years. As someone who setup this zombie app under "my own development and testing" I can confirm it is now dead.

Fun last things the RIF dev gave us before it went out was methods to near completely block data collection about us, I always got the most generic reddit page ever. No algorithm, just essentially /r/all unfiltered it was great.

RIP, guess I'm here more than before now.

I thought Fetterman was the leftist Candidate. Isn't that why Hassan, Vaush, and the rest of the lefty boys all supported him?

Bonus: Fetterman was important evidence that brain damage results in conservatism.

Edit: Yeah if you just google like Hassan supporting Fetterman it's just littered with clips. He was the lefty candidate. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zr0O0eiIhEE

Liberal Democrat reporting in. Blue no matter who. Hopefully he turns out like AOC and not like Fetterman. So far Leftist candidates are either gold or trash, honestly a lot like Dems. Maybe people are human and humans are flawed.

Blue no matter who. I'm doing my part.

Edit: Yeah agreed, screw Collins tbh.

Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’

Reply in thread

I've definitely used it and helped me learn and accomplish things I wouldn't have otherwise since I am not professionally a programmer. But whipping up something custom that works for our organization with the bare minimum security bolted onto the front. Even if it does take 3 hours to walk through the hallucinations before I learn the concept of what I was trying to do through its attempts and get it setup.

I'm not ready to make a push to a repo yet haha. An important life skill is recognizing what you do not know.

They can't answer this

Yes, immigrants drive down wages is the biggest issue. The second is if you bring in a large enough glut of 1 type of immigrant all at once (like refugees for a real world example) they can establish an insulated community and not actually join "the mixing pot."

There are obviously a lot of positives and neutral points as well, but everything has a give and take. The biggest positive is that children are a pure drain on society but an immigrant doesn't need schooling or rearing. They can simply begin working (for that lowered wage).

Brexit explained in a single toot

The wild part is in sweeping elections Britian just chose the party behind Brexit (Reform). Which is basically the GOP of Britian. Brexit actually caused a massive influx of immigrants and this party ran on getting rid of immigrants. Can't make it up, they're making the same exact mistake America just made 2 years prior.

Now that a based civic take I can stand with. One of the main reasons I see myself as a Democrat and not a Leftie is seeing the sheer purity testing where the left completely screws themselves out of any and all political capital. To be honest, it seems to me most lefties just want to endless critique power while fantasizing about smashing the walmart they're shopping at rather than change anything.
