  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

    Jump

  • All you had to do was say nothing, Timmy.

    You're an asshole, but only PC gamers had a reason to care—because you tried to buy your way into a dominant position by employing anti-consumer, monopolistic practices like paying for distribution exclusivity deals with third-party publishers.

    The best possible choice here, clearly, was to voluntarily align yourself (and by association, Epic Games) with Nazis and pedophiles. I sincerely hope the board forces you to resign, you absolute chode.

  • MAGA demands murder charges for ICE victim's wife

    Jump

  • Of course not. Under their logic, it's like "suicide by cop"—the actions of the cop are irrelevant; he was just a means to an end for the wife's supposed plot.

  • Without getting into current politics can someone describe to me what an authoritarian regime looks like?

    Jump

  • Oh boy. We're already at 13 out of 14 on the checklist.

  • The neat part is that you break both GNOME extensions and PolicyKit policies when removing Javascript files off of your hard drive.

  • Why Fascists Always Come for the Socialists First

    Jump

  • Anti-West fascists cosplaying as communists are still fascists. If there's going to be infighting, interrupting it only helps them.

  • Minn. Officials Say They’re Being Blocked From Investigating Fatal ICE Shooting

    Jump

  • We see because we value facts and evidence, seeking out information to gain an understanding of the situation before making judgements about it.

    The dumbfucks who voted for this and continue to cheer it on don't. They appeal to authority, and when authority says to not believe the evidence of their eyes and ears, they cover them. If the regime says she was a "domestic terrorist" or radical leftist, they double down and blame the victim.

    Her daylight murder will enrage and concern rational and reasonable people, but it won't do jack shit for the instigating bootlickers who voluntarily impede solidarity and justice.

  • "OK, I unplugged the computer. ... No, I still hear air moving. ... What? You mean the footrest? Why would I unplug that?"

  • Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team

    Jump

  • There's a whole lot of entitlement going on in that thread.

    If the maintainers didn't want to merge it because they had bigger issues to worry about, that's that. Whining about it and trying to pressure them with prospects of "becoming obsolete [if you don't merge this]" isn't going to make a convincing argument.

    They should either shut the fuck up and learn to RTFM, or maybe consider putting their money where their mouths are by actually paying to support the projects they seem to so desperately think they have a right to influence the direction of.

  • Trump says he will seek to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes

    Jump

  • Clearly, one family won't be able to fit in a 1-bed, 1-bath shack. With 3 kids, they'll need at least 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Include the grandparents on both sides, and that's 6 bedrooms, 4 baths. And for good measure, add a guest room with its own bathroom.

    It makes perfect sense to reclassify a "single family home" as a 7-bed, 5-bath McMansion. Anything less is just a rental suite, obviously /s

  • SHUT UP CORPORATE AMERICA I DONT CARE

  • With large email providers' spam lists being largely left up to ML these days, it might help solve the right problem. At least, until they bribe the providers to add them to an exemption list.

  • More than 2 million Epstein files still to be released, DOJ says in court filing

  • At least you know the hardware will work and you can install your own distro (I know regular people won't know how to do this)

    That's assuming the hardware vendor didn't use a closed fork of the kernel with their own drivers hacked into it.

  • Is Autism something old or has it been developed recently?

    Jump

  • I feel like maybe the human DNA has degraded too much in 2 or 3 generations.

    Ancient Greeks notwithstanding, being non-heterosexual was considered a disease to be eliminated or cured until people finally accepted that it was a natural part of being an animal. Would you say being gay is a consequence of flawed genetics, or would you like to try phrasing that remark a bit differently?

  • Poilievre celebrates Trump's special military operation

  • Looking on from the outside, Canadian citizens may be screwed either way the wind blows. Saying something as tone-deaf as this is going to convince people to keep strategically voting against him, so either he wins and sells out the country, or he loses and yall end up in the same two-party system that is easily captured by corporations and billionaires.

  • As a developer as well, I agree that they can get fucked. Bloated crap that wastes bandwidth and ruins first-time-to-paint on mobile devices by necessitating downloading and initializing a multi-megabyte bundle of npm packages.

    As a user of the internet, I need websites to work, however. I would have disabled JavaScript entirely by now if it weren't for the fact that doing so renders what feels like half of the entire web unusable.

  • Might be that there's some way of blocking that behavior if you don't like it, though, if I'm not seeing it.

    Not without either breaking most SPAs (Single-Page Applications) or writing userscripts with site-specific logic.

    The classic way of doing this crap was to make a placeholder page navigate to the article page. That leaves the redirect page in the history stack so when the user presses the back button, it just opens the page that navigates them forward again.

    The modern way is to use the history API with history.pushState to add a history entry while listening for the popState event to check if the user pressed the back button. Unfortunately, both of those features have a legitimate use case for enabling navigation within a SPA. Writing an extension to replace them with no-ops would, in the best case, break page history in SPA websites. In the worst case, it would break page routing entirely.

    You might be able to get away with conditionally no-oping their functionality based on heuristics such as "only allow pushState if the user interacted with the page in the last 5 seconds," but it would still end up breaking some websites.
