Honestly, the biggest argument for concealed carry isn't crazed gunmen, but rather people who don't put their dogs on a fucking leash.

Seriously, I will fucking murder your dogs if you let them loose. KEEP THEM ON A FUCKING LEASH OR THEIR REMAINS WILL BE GROUND UP INTO A NICE, JUICY BURGER!!!

Confirmation of what many knew, but couldn't prove.

- CISA is “working with federal partners to mature a whole-of-government approach” to curbing alleged misinformation and disinformation.
- CISA considered the creation of an anti-misinformation “rapid response team” capable of physically deploying across the United States.
- CISA moved its censorship operation to a CISA-funded non-profit after CISA and the Biden Administration were sued in federal court, implicitly admitting that its censorship activities are unconstitutional.
- CISA wanted to use the same CISA-funded non-profit as its mouthpiece to “avoid the appearance of government propaganda.”
- Members of CISA’s advisory committee agonized that it was “only a matter of time before someone realizes we exist and starts asking about our work.”

@ArdainianRight @Jim Part of it is Nintendo's fault. They had some excellent ideas for Zelda spin-offs but Nintendo turned them down.

Does it have any relationship with Raddle?

Bruh I can't get over how Jimmy Wales responded to Wuhan Lab Leak as an example of editorial bias on wikipedia by talking about how the Moon isn't made out of cheese for 15 minutes, then never once actually referenced a real life example of anything.

The biases of wikipedia are numerous and constant. It makes sense when you realize wikipedia is really just source laundering for the cathedral. Of course Wuhan Lab Leak is fake until the cathedral changes their tune, then suddenly it's okay. Nothing actually changes, merely the reporting.

The Freedom Convoy wikipedia article is fun because they refuse to call it the Freedom Convoy. The editors have done statistical analysis of how news articles label the Freedom Convoy. It's overwhelmingly called The Freedom Convoy, even among cathedral outlets. Yet, they refuse to call it that. They even had to add a disambiguation note because of the added confusion of not calling it the Freedom Convoy.

@ArdainianRight Finally, they post something that is actually libertarian for once, but still, fuck political parties, regardless of ideology.

@allison I learned a lot from Python even though the language does have a lot of severe flaws. Though I mostly did gamedev stuff with it.

@allison Learning an API like Google Analytics (which you shouldn't use anyway) shouldn't require a fucking book.

@PurpCat @gabriel I guess enough news outlets are claiming that Poast is an off-shoot of KiwiFarms that people think it justifies a Wikipedia article.

Really the only think that KF and Poast have in common is their obsession with dissident-right grifters and the drama that surrounds them. But in reality, Poast is really just more like a cringier version of /pol/, but with IDs.

@PurpCat @gabriel
Poast might be the most likely because they have a fucking Wikipedia article now.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poast

NCD seems to want to stay as small as possible. They even have registers set to manual-approval. Pieville is just a bunch of schizo boomers, and while Linder is a well-known Neo-Nazi, his type of Nazis, have pretty much fell off the radar as far as the media is concerned.

GameLiberty used to have a pedo problem. It got so bad that Poast removed us from their federated timeline and almost defederated from us outright. Otherwise, we are relatively tame compared to instances like Poast or even Baest or FSE.

Liberdon doesn't appear to be as active. A lot of the accounts on there are just bots repeating posts from Twitter. And I bet a lot of the users on there were bullied of the Fedi by the likes of Poast. Seriously just posting anything remotely libertarian will get you dogpiled by them like what happened to one libertarian blogger last month who merely just linked an article critiquing minarchism.

@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @jeffcliff Remember that Mr. Cliff here wants to sterilize as many people as possible. HRT side effects are a positive for him.

@PurpCat @gabriel GameLiberty, Liberdon, Baarag, and Pawoo all use Mastodon and they are not aligned with Eugen.

@PurpCat @gabriel Honestly, we would probably be totally fucked if we end up having a Christchurch situation on the Fedi.

After the 8chan-linked shootings, many hosting providers refused to allow imageboards to be hosted on their servers. And many of the bunker sites were attacked with CP spam and DDoS attacks. I can see something similar happening to the fedi.

The other problem with this mindset is, eventually the logical endgame of it is "only we should be allowed to run a social media site and not you." Which means bye bye fediverse hosting if someone wants to claim you literally are killing people.

@PurpCat@marsey.moe this is what worries me the most about the future of the open web. It won't exist if nobody wants it. The normalization of mass censorship and surveillance has eroded a lot of the foundation needed to foster it. I'm becoming increasingly skeptical that people can creatively out-engineer the apathy (or even hostility) from the public towards the very concept of a free and open web.
