No. So fair enough 🙂

Even a 20 year should know Napster saga (with all the implications involved) happened in 2001.

There is no “push back” from most developers, not in the direction you’re thinking anyway, which is what the microblogtard is calling “apathy”, as people grew tired of the moral imposters, who happen to (very randomly) align with corpos when it comes to target lists btw (they are “GNU bad” and “Stallman bad” mobs).

Most developers, when they have their developer hat on, are not bothered by the constant hormonal brainless unhinged Find a Nazi under the pillow campaigns of the microblogtard sphere and its echo chambers when they leak outside, and that’s exactly the right positioning.

Some of those developers may even be more “radical” than the microblogtards themselves. But they have the ability to compartmentalize, contextualize, and have the assuredness, mental stability, and impulse control not to feel the need to moral posture and find mob targets 24/7 to feel good about themselves.

What does “isn’t real” mean?

Is anyone selling the false reality that meritocracy perfectly exists, especially at the highest socioeconomic level?

Conversely, what does exist is that retarded notion that developed over the last decade or two that attacks meritocracy itself (Equity vs. Equality, The Post-Meritocracy Manifesto, …etc). A notion that replaces any serious examination of why meritocracy itself doesn’t exist, for some self-serving tokenism, and some demands for high remuneration for bullshit work, in arguments that are ironically, but not surprisingly, not dissimilar to how some management types justify their high pay.

Beliefs and status quo’s are not the same thing.

Me (not communist) and real communists don’t believe in nation states. You seem to not only believe in them, but also consider them an inevitable fundamental reality, which is hilarious even from a historical perspective, but let’s move on.

Do you agree/disagree with the following statements:

• The Basque Country is neither Spanish nor French.
• Ireland (the island) is not British.

Are you a believer in nation states?

Are you a believer in nation states?

What name would you consider impartially and factually reasonable? Note that it will have to be not Chinese, because the region is not Chinese.

I guess it’s good for Radio Free Asia to have competition.

THIS.

All my murderer friends have moved their activities to jurisdictions where murder is allowed or tolerated.

I think CodeBerg should push for giving Vibe Coders the death penalty, to make sure deterrence will work.

Let’s discourage user transparency and AI disclosure

OMG that’s a great move.

The word “acknowledged” seems to have been dropped from the title.

it’s not about robocalls.

Nothing was ever really about “le evil pedophiles” or “protecting children” either. Yet, using that excuse seems to work wonders with the gullible masses, including many people here, I would imagine.
