You already missed the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2.

Isn’t that another “can’t count to three” moment?

I think the skeptics have always remained at a constant level. It’s just that echo chambers and the siloing of communities have skewed people’s perceptions of those levels.

It’s not just a class element. Every fight has classism as its primary purpose.

This unprecedented overreach provoked a significant reaction from Cloudflare and soon after the injunction was withdrawn.

Although, I don’t see the link to the reaction from Cloudflare.

The second reason why I have always advised my teams not to consider “culture-fit” when interviewing prospective employees is that it is a covert way of discriminating against people who have otherwise protected attributes (race, religion, gender, sexuality etc).

There’s a difference between “culture fit” and “hive mindedness”. I’ve seen singular employees turn a good workplace into one with strife because that one employee has vastly different goals about how to run things, and it doesn’t go away until that employee is fired.

Also, it’s not about discriminating against future hires. It’s about not hiring shitty employees who would discriminate against their own co-workers.

And I’ve concluded that we’re well past that point, and approaching the point at which we need to reconsider what, exactly, the internet really is, and that is to say that it should not be considered a source of any sort of authentic experience.

It never was an “authentic experience”. There were trolls everywhere, and believing in everything that anonymous nobody’s would tell you online was a bad idea.

Now? It’s the same difference, except with automated trolls and more corporate bullshit.

Too many imps in the center square. Too easy to just get ganged with fireballs. I found that I needed to hang out in the hallway and get the marines that were coming in.

WTF? Is this Nightmare difficulty? Just how many enemies are crammed in the hallways here.

I get that this is a joke project. But, if you were to reduce the difficulty to some common denominator, it could actually be a viable CAPTCHA. Then again, there’s already good AI bots that could dominate this.

Ditto. On top of that, I could not get into the tiny, tiny width of the “Twitter experience” with their web site. I don’t need mobile width pages on desktops.

Responsive Web Design… use it, implement it, never forget it.

Meh… given the choice between low-effort AI art and low-effort crayon drawing, I think I’ll take the AI art, please.

What was the post?

If Nazi shit is highly upvoted, then the community is already lost.

The voting system works, for the most part. Moderation is just to get rid of the early comment bullshit, or cull the already downvoted to hell posts.

I really don’t understand when moderators burn entire comment trees or lock threads. It defeats the purpose of the whole system, and makes it look like the community can’t do its job.
