the gamer entitlement is fucking insane. they're yelling at a developer who has spent a decade of his time writing Dolphin and PPSSPP for using Claude to build a prototype. the same people who don't pay for their emulator, certainly don't pay for ROMs are entitled to bully developers now?

maybe it's just my perception but if someone had defended copyright like this 10 years ago, people would have made fun of them. rightfully so.

This is a transistor. It controls current between the collector and the emitter. It's a fancy dimmer switch. There is nothing this device can do that you couldn't already do with a bunch of dimmer switches. No matter how fast they are or how much Bell Labs hypes them, it's just a dimmer switch.

one of the funniest things to me about om*rchy is how stupidly bloated the iso is, it's 5.8 GB, like what the fuck is in there? fedora's isn't even 3 GB, the only distro's iso i've found that is bigger than omarchy's is ubuntu's at 6 GB

damn mod lists are so funny sometimes dev freak!!!!!!
Screenshot of SkyTrace displaying information about a Bluesky moderation list. The list is called "dev/engineer/crypto/llm freaks" and was made by @needleminder.bsky.social on September 7, 2026. The description states "people who display an anti-human level of passion/evangelism for AI, as well as STEM types who denigrate or devalue the social sciences & humanities this list is for personal use only. if you are not me, do not use this list."

sure, no "real" feelings are being hurt when calling an LLM "clanker", "wireback" or "tinskin" or whatever, but if you see no issue at all casually using terms that are so obviously made to look and sound like actual slurs used against actual people, you are probably a pretty unpleasant person

re mullvad's ceo supporting a fascist party in sweden: you'll never guess what profile picture all these commenters have in common
Screenshot of a YouTube comment with 9 likes. It reads: "Remigration is nectary for a nation to exist. Migration is white genocide. However, mass surveillance is not necessary. Millions have been deported in a very short period of time, using technology as old as time."Screenshot of a YouTube comment with 111 likes. It reads: "So the Mullvad VPN Co-founder is for remigration? My trust in my all time favorite VPN has increased even more. Remigration is exactly what Western Europe needs right now.
And this con be done without inducing mass surveillance, in fact, most of the parties for remigration are outspoken against mass surveillance measurements like AI cameras, Chat Control, ... since they see that mass immigration has made ordinary citizens live in more and more of an open prison, they are directly against that and are for freedom of speech."Screenshot of a YouTube comment with 0 likes. It reads: "The VPN I use is against far left's crimes? Donated so much to combat the crime of the far left? I'm making another subscription just to support them!"Screenshot of a YouTube comment with 4 likes. It reads: "I love Örebropartiet. And you are quite wrong about their platform. Swedish politics is not that simple and what Markus (The leader of ÖP) is trying to do is not to create some authoritarian state lol. Rather he is hated by his colleagues in the political chamber because he is trying to force them to publicly show what they are wasting taxpayer money on. Our tax money in places like Örebro are funding radical islamist schools rather that going to the elderly etc.

Thank you Mullvad!"

Hi Hello,
Screenshot of an email in Thunderbird. It has been sent by "NiubiStar Support Team <market@[redacted].com>" to hello@nokyan.net. It has been configured with "Reply to" set to "[redacted]@gmail.com". The mail's subject is "Enterprise outreach idea for resources". The content of the message reads:

"Hi Hello,

I found nokyan/resources while looking through GitHub projects that have already attracted stargazer attention. I noticed it is mainly Rust.

Project note I saw: Keep an eye on system resources

If you are planning a release, launch post, directory push, or enterprise-facing update, NiubiStar can help package the project into a broader developer outreach campaign.

Because the project already has visible traction, the next useful move is usually broader developer-market coverage rather than another narrow metric push.

The package I would recommend is Enterprise Outreach. It is built for teams that want more than a simple GitHub signal boost: targeted developer discovery, launch proof, relevant community placement, and hands-on execution around a specific growth window.

You can review it here:
https://www.niubistar.com/enterprise-outreach?utm_source=market

No GitHub token is required. A public repository link and a target timeline are enough to scope the campaign.

If this is relevant, reply with your launch window and the audience you want to reach. I can suggest a practical outreach plan before you place anything.

Best,
NiubiStar Support Team
https://www.niubistar.com"

There's text above and below the iPhone in typewriter font. The top text reads: "I finally realized it!" while the bottom text reads: "People are prisoners of their phones.
