Plaintext or hashes?

Criticism: - Non-standard layout - Where's the arrow keys block? Insert/delete/home/end/pgup/pgdown block? - Non-staggered keys makes it hard to type due to mistyping on the wrong row

Questions: - Do you have nkey rollover? - Would you accept "optional" wires? Note: gaming requires fast response times. Hell even programming/writing sucks when there's key lag.

Downvoted because this video promotes the assassination of Brian Thompson.

What interactive visualization software is that - D3.js?

> Vlad was a mean boogeyman

Vlad drove back the pig-fucking turks who were trying to steal Christian land. He was a hero.

> Muh National Socialists

Hitler tried saving Europe from bolshevik communists but was crucified by evil men. Kiss his ass!

> Muh anti-semitism

We're Christian. Anti-Christian is the word that you should fear!

Peter Thiel met with White nationalists? Time to start buying Palantir stocks!

New comment by Executor in "With Proton and Steam Play, many Windows games now work on Linux"

I tried installing Steam on Linux Mint but it fails to load. What's the point of all this work if you can't even get Steam to load on the most popular distro of all time?

New comment by Executor in "Removing Holocaust Denial Content"

Executor — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 02:58:17 +0000

Not an "admirable" move as the previous commenter "ignoramous" states. All historic events can be debates. Nobody ought to have the power of political censorship. It's about time White people realize that the holocaust is used as a mind fuck to demoralize us and beat us down into submission. The last thing to do is to compromise on letting a crappy Silicon Valley company dictate what is/isn't legitimate free speech and/or thought crime (a la 1984).

> In summary, an opportunist's career advice is: ignore OKRs, switch projects well before the consequences of your decisions can be measured, act happy and easy-going, package bad news as appeals for slow systemic adjustments, don't make anyone look bad, perform rituals with enthusiasm, grow headcount faster than baseline, let work invent itself, follow management fashions, avoid acute failures, believe this sincerely.

What is the source of this ridiculous anti-capitalist rant?

> Marx thought that to be fulfilled, humans must feel a connection to the end result of their work

Of course, the author is a marxist!

Is there any proof that automation will destroy jobs? Citation needed.

Executor — Fri, 27 Apr 2018 18:49:22 +0000

False. Stallman's work and vegans/hippies are unassociated. Veganism is an unhealthy lifestyle. Hippies are dropouts/losers. Don't spread around unhealthy advice.

What an anti-social sentiment. It is not the responsibility for the market to find a "place" for you. It is your job to make that happen. What are you... unemployable? Spending too much time playing video games instead of learning multivariate calculus?

Upholding immigration laws and fairness != authoritarianism.

New comment by Executor in "Brendan Eich: WebAssembly is a game-changer"

Executor — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 16:09:51 +0000

I'm conflicted. One one hand I support open data/raw documents. But this prevents native-like, real-time applications. It also forces developers to work on Javascript which is a terrible language.

On the other hand we have lock-in ecosystems, closed silos, that are detrimental to the commons.

The only consolation I have is that if WebAssembly provides a bytecode instead of machine code then we still have the ability to perform reverse engineering.

In the end, we have ALL have to do the hard task to inform every single person why Apple/FB/MS/Google are harmful to us and why we should boycott their programs/services.

Here is a better model of paying artists:

- If artist sells music on a DRM-free downloading service like bandcamp.com, support them

- Otherwise let them starve

Netflix does NOT allow you to download high-quality movies/tv shows. That is why it fails to give me any reason to use it.

This idea is horrible since it is plutocratic and elitist. It encourages the lives of affluent people living in the finance sector/stock traders but empowers nobody else. It punishes those who don't participate in the stock market, fail to correctly predict trends. Remember the damage caused by the finance industry in recent years: the 2007 depression, the bursting of the housing market, as well as the initiation of austerity policies around the world. We should be concerned with eliminating the finance sector's control on society - not increasing it.

If these states supported voluntary instead of FORCED vaccinations I think this topic wouldn't be an issue.
