  • It’s not really begging for censorship, it’s begging for healthier consumption.

    The issue is entirely one of parenting IMO. I’ve seen what’s on YouTube kids and my kids aren’t allowed to watch anything on YouTube without my supervision.

    Gross sexual stuff, violence, and cruelty is being pushed to your children as fun with flashy colors and silly sounds. Go watch YouTube kids for a while, click on the random kids channels not the corporate ones.

    We’re not talking about sex education and more mature topics, these shoes are promoting sexual violence, violence, bullying, and it’s all being pushed in a fun way.

    It’s a parenting problem, and the parents need to be educated on it. They don’t see the problem, kids have their own phones, and Google doesn’t give a fuck they will push the must engaging most addicting most disturbing content to your kids to keep them watching.



  • You smelled the propaganda, bravo!

    And in North Korea, only one haircut style is allowed! Those weird oppressive governments do the weirdest things, so wacky what they’re concerned about, thank God we have our FREEDOMS!

    You’ll notice there are zero citations to backup any of the claims, they reference one newspaper but if you try to find that article all you’ll find is the guardian claiming it exists. It also references 75 lawmakers from 2021, and the only reference I could find for that is this uncited quote: "According to media reports, 75 MPs, or one quarter of parliamentarians, recently signed a text entitled “Support for the rights of the population in relation to harmful and dangerous animals”.

    This comes from theinsightinternational.com, an English only online publication claiming to deliver “unbiased reporting on events and developments in the Middle East and the Kurdistan Region”. Who needs sources!? 75 MPs said this on social media, trust.

    Don’t get me wrong, Islamic fundamentalism and aversion to dogs is real, Iran’s Islamic laws are suppressive and awful, but before you start worrying about what local laws they may or may not be discussing on social media, do a quick Google maps search for pet store and you try to figure out how many people have dogs as pets in Tehran… Then remember two reporters were shot by rubber bullets last night in LA.



  • It is. It’s just… how do you know you’re actually talking to the fingerprint sensor and not a fake one that’s been plugged in?

    Think of it like a locked mailbox: the fingerprint sensor might securely match the fingerprint and only unlock if it’s correct—but if anyone can swap out the mailbox with their own lookalike, and the OS just blindly accepts the “unlocked” signal, the whole security model breaks. Without an attestation mechanism (like SDCP on Windows or secure enclave-backed verification), the OS can’t prove it’s getting input from trusted hardware. Match-on-chip helps, but it’s not enough unless the result is cryptographically signed by the sensor and validated by the OS through a trusted, authenticated channel.

    That’s the gap in Linux: there’s no widely adopted standard for verifying that trust path end-to-end.

    Sure. And you’re entitled to yours. But words have meaning and this isn’t MY OPINION, it’s objective reality. It follows strict rules for predictable output, it is not nonsensical.

    You’re entitled to think it’s nonsense, and you’d be wrong. You don’t have to like implicit type coercion, but it’s popular and in many languages for good reason…

    Language Implicit Coercion Example
    JavaScript '5' - 1 → 4
    PHP '5' + 1 → 6
    Perl '5' + 1 → 6
    Bash $(( '5' + 1 )) → 6
    Lua "5" + 1 → 6
    R "5" + 1 → 6
    MATLAB '5' + 1 → 54 (ASCII math)
    SQL (MySQL) '5' + 1 → 6
    Visual Basic '5' + 1 → 6
    TypeScript '5' - 1 → 4
    Tcl "5" + 1 → 6
    Awk '5' + 1 → 6
    PowerShell '5' + 1 → 6
    ColdFusion '5' + 1 → 6
    VBScript '5' + 1 → 6
    ActionScript '5' - 1 → 4
    Objective-J '5' - 1 → 4
    Excel Formula "5" + 1 → 6
    PostScript (5) 1 add6

    I think JavaScript is filthy, I’m at home with C#, but I understand and don’t fear ITC.

    It’s not nonsensical, implicit type coercion is a feature of JavaScript, it’s perfectly logical and predictable.

    JavaScript is a filthy beast, it’s not the right tool for every job, but it’s not nonsensical.

    When you follow a string with a +, it concatenates it with the next value (converted to string if needed). This makes sense, and it’s a very standard convention in most languages.

    Applying arithmetic to a string would be nonsensical, which they don’t do.


  • but it’s also not right to expect scholars to lower their standards, simplify their analytic framework.

    A livestreamed genocide where the perpetrators were unapologetically genocidal since day 0 and with the 100 year history of colonizing Palestine, any “genocide scholar” who was held back by their standards was a glorified record keeper, waiting until it’s widely recognized as a genocide before labeling it as such themselves.

    And you’re white-washing their cowardice as scholarly integrity and standards. Bullshit.
