@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @protos @nicole He is (was) a fan of Vim and Suckless thinks that even Vim is bloat. These are people who think that configuring should be done on the source code level.

@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @nicole I'm surprised that he didn't include an antifa flag given that he included one on his blog.

@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @nicole To be fair, the original Vim still has Ukrainian flags on their website too.

@ube @Phobos @nicole @SuperDicq @hj I don't think Drew is doing these things out of moral principles. Most likely, he is just very narcissistic, and is using woke leftism as a cover.

Even before he started his blog and the projects he was known for, he was very infamous on calculator forums for hijacking communities and demanding that they cater to his narrow worldview. On Omnimaga, the forum he was most active on, he demanded that a MLP thread that he didn't have to participate in be locked and threatened to leave if it wasn't. He used the exact same tactic he uses now by pretending that everyone else shares the exact same opinion as him. Eventually, he got promoted to moderator status on the forum, only because of his programming skills and nothing else, and then abused his privilege by shutting down their IRC channel because he couldn't win an argument against someone, and deleting threads about projects he didn't liked.

This was all back in 2011 (pre-culture war). He acted the exact same way he does know, just without the politics (though he did try to push "Enlightened Atheism" down everyone's throat).

@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @protos @nicole Suckless devs have been labeled "fascist" recently. I bet Drew avoids them like the plague.

@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @nicole The people who deserve the KiwiFarms treatment are the ones who do actual harm and cause problems to communities. People Drew DeVault and XKeeper 100% deserve the KF treatment for cancelling people and subverting projects or in XKeeper's case preventing entire IP ranges from viewing a wiki because one user in said range visited a website they didn't like.

Other than that, I do not care about what some e-celeb may have posted 10+ years ago.

@ube@tsundere.love @hj@shigusegubu.club @Phobos@eientei.org @nicole@kiwifarms.cc Sometimes kiwifarms is iseful though. Like when they host material mainstream media doesn't want you to see. Or when they dig up dirt on people who actually deserve it like Drew DeVault.

The technology, called SignalTrace, would turn ALPR cameras from devices focused on tracking cars to ones that can more readily track the location of particular people

I think the thing that frustrates me the most about mathematics in school/university was that, to an autist, it *should* be a dream to work with. Everything has procedures and structures and if you did it right there is no opinion needed, you are either correct or incorrect.

And yet it still all falls apart because god forbid you had one bad year of math, the lack of understanding snowballs into later years if you don't catch up. And god forbid you do any sort of REAL math, you're gonna offload it to a computer anyway (every computer in the last 30 years can do all your algebras and calculuses).

People who got all bitchy about teachers/professors giving "partial credit" to math kids for getting the answer wrong but the process right didn't understand that the end result was never the point because nobody is doing this shit by hand. It's understanding how to get there. I did RSA by fucking hand with small primes in later years. Was it practical? Nope. Was the method interesting? Yep. So why bother rewarding only the right answer when the answer itself is useless and the real takeaway from these classes was the knowledge of HOW and not the end result?

@FaggotTourney I vote for SMetzeler. He brings Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin to shame with his ultra-Zionism.

@beardalaxy
>I think OoT remake is a given
I hope not. Both OOT and SF64 already have 3DS remakes that can easily be ported over (albeit without the 2nd screen or stereoscopic 3D of course).

>perhaps even what is next for Smash Bros.

I think that's way too early, I think Sakurai needs to find a way to move Smash in a different direction since topping Ultimate is out of the question. I think they'll pull a Mario Kart Word and change the gameplay (maybe having the stages be fully 3D planes), but I bet it's still in the planning stages given that Air Riders was only released last year.

@cjd @HLC These Europeans exaggerating US car dependency really gets on my nerves. Sure you can't really get around everywhere here without a car, but I've seen some people claim that you can't go out for walks in America.

@xianc78 haha I noticed this years ago, sample cds stealing samples

So virtually every video game released after the SNES is potentially infringing copyright in some way due to the legal gray area of soundfonts.
