Most of the anti-LGBTQ+ rethoric in AES countries is cultural and has existed long before socialism, not due to socialism. Can’t speak for other cultures but as a Chinese immigrant in Canada, I’ve never met more LGBTQ+ phobic people than anticommunist Chinese immigrants, namely older ones. That’s literally their biggest complaint about Canadian culture and they compare it to the communism they “escaped” all the time. Word for word what your white boomer uncle says but with some of that toxic “if you dare disagree with your elders you’re the scum of the earth” traditional Chinese mentality sprinkled in.

There’s a reason they tested with chickens first.

I live in Vancouver. We use liking rain as a substitute for personality here.

Pro gamer move.

Yeah.

Yeah that was the goddamn point.

Are we surprised?

It was pretty clear that was their fucking goal to begin with.

More proxy wars against Russia using countries the West can’t care less about. Nothing’s changed. The cold war didn’t end with the USSR. Western hatred for Russia didn’t start with Stalin and certainly didn’t end with Gorbachev.

Fuck Google

Thanks!

How do you get a local model to search stuff on your local computer for you? I’d love this in an IDE to emulate the functionality of Copilot for simple issues!

Your life in plain .md files.

Why not just, you know, actual plain .md files and your directory navigator and text editor of choice (often the ones that that already come with your Linux distro)? Or code editor if you want them together? Don’t forget the terminal if you want to go even simpler. Always worked for me, I don’t even use the formatted view half the time because *this* already conveys the same information as this in my mind. Hell throw a git repo in there and you have better version control than full office suites.

I honestly think the fancy wrappers around Markdown files defeat the elegant minimalism of using Markdown in the first place. I’ve always found my favourite “feature” of Markdown is that you don’t need to install anything.

but it still feels like the a lot of their cultural exports haven’t cracked the “just exotic enough for broad global appeal” that big-brand anime or K-pop have hit.

Because China doesn’t give a shit about what Westerners think of their media. Most Japanese and Korean media, certainly the big name big budget ones, are very intentional and strategic about capturing the Western market because it’s part of their business model and they depend on Western revenue to get a sufficient return. I’m part of the Chinese diaspora and my parents have to VPN into China or rely on pirate reuploads hosted on YouTube or otherwise outside China just to watch their favourite shows because the Western entertainment market is irrelevant to the producing companies.

Same with games actually. Genshin and similar are specifically designed for the Western market and AFAIK isn’t even a drop in the bucket compared to the ecosystem of Chinese domestic games that you’ve never heard of because they don’t get marketed anywhere else. China really doesn’t give nearly as much of a shit about pop culture “influence” beyond its borders as most Western countries do.

Because people who brag about that have historically always defeated the commies. Yep, always.

OpenAI’s vastly inferior LLM sends its regards

West: China is evil and anyone that trades with them is morally bankrupt! We must rid ourselves of reliance on Chinese goods! Doesn’t matter of we’re screwing over our own citizens in the process, they should have put Western pride over their own livelihoods anyway!

China: Cool, we’ll even help you wean yourselves off by restricting exports.

West: That just proves our point of how evil they are! They’re depriving poor us of resources! How dare they!

No, that’s definitely alpha behaviour. Your scheduler is poorly optimised because it’s the first build that managed to compile.

I’d imagine Rust’s strict enforcement of a few specific patterns makes the assembly more predictable than C/++ where you can do literally anything?

Wears fur coat alone is Scumbag Steve worthy.

Interestingly, developers in ecosystems like Go, Rust, and those utilizing native Web APIs—where robust standard libraries drastically reduce reliance on third-party code and strict cryptographic verification is built into the core toolchain

Does NPM really not do cryptographic verification or is this part of the joke? I always assumed the attacks were due to a compromised key or something, but this is implying you can just push whatever you want to an NPM package if you have the author’s login?
