  • Seems a bit silly to care about an anti-cheat from companies that can gain infinitely more money from selling 0s and 1s to kids’ parents than being malicious actors to the kids’ computers itself. Especially when your entire network activity is compromised and read by intelligence agencies, your computer is almost certainly backdoored if you’re using AMD/Intel/Windows/Mac, and marketing companies are not only buying all your digital data but also your REAL LIFE movement data based on network connectivity

    The computing threat modelling of kernel anti-cheats by gamers does not add up at all. Missing the forest for the trees vibe





  • I used to work on the notification system of a big crypto exchange before I got fired for being a shit employee lmao

    Other that a few intensive purposes like Uber, TikTok, Google Maps type apps, companies only create apps and heavily push you to download them so they can shove push notifications to your phone. It’s basically impossible to do 99% of that using a website (fine grained controls of what notifications, collecting analytics, delivery speed, proper scheduling, etc.) cause then you’d have to go through the browser’s notification system


  • The queer POC art + music/party scene in SF is the only place I’ve found that’s consistently cool

    The queer scene in general is super white and sometimes very liberal (racist) and the art/music/party scene in general is pretty corporatized. The white queer artist crowd is cool and not liberal but still has lots of whiteness that a lot of POC people here don’t like

    And a lot of POC events are just networking events for professionals




  • Yeaaa this is why I get pissed off when communists say it’s not that important to argue about China or the USSR as long as they understand Marxist theory

    The Soviets built the world’s 2nd greatest superpower the world has ever seen in a little more than half a century and they still managed to fuck it up because they were the first to ever do it and had no future example

    China has constantly learned a lot from their mistakes and have improved upon them

    How well would a socialist state function if they believed all the propaganda against the USSR and China? They would never be able to even get a single city functional
