excited to see speed runs of this game on tiktok, split screen with an 'easy diy hacks' video playing

> Providing information about how to source drugs (and even encouraging people to take them) is not the same as drug trafficking.

And coincidentally posting dox is not the same as SWATing someone.

Anti-KF people will say they're close enough and anti-Keffals people will say the same about the DIY HRT website & marketplaces it lists.

"We don't do X, but we give you all the information to do it"

> So how do you know historical events happened?

I go to the Smithsonian archives and read the source material in Latin

Anyway, back to the point. I whole heartedly believe that exposing someone like Nick Fuentes on a livestream is a net positive that turns more people away from him than gains him followers.

It's a cynical person who thinks platforming bad ideas will make them spread. Sunlight.. disinfectant...

> I'd only read from journo pieces making vague accusations (referencing other journo pieces)

Do I just take journos word for it? Hell no.

The best, recent example I have is Nick Fuentes. I'd only read from journo pieces making vague accusations (referencing other journo pieces) that he's a white nationalist, or seen clips of him trolling CPAC, so I've always been curious what he's actually about.

Seeing a mainstream interview with Louis Theroux and debate livestream with Destiny quickly outs him as a white nationalist with an incoherent worldview.

If the only way to hear his ideas, directly from his mouth, are on his platform in a dark corner of the internet you're only going to get his one-sided propaganda.

the twitter pressure campaign

Having principles can be prickly

I don't get what you're saying. Is there some unique intersection between the software they develop and social/political issues?

ez

1. close terminal

2. remove all the temporary .swp files from the open buffers i just aborted

Yeah an EC2 engineer switched over traffic to a backup network connection that had significantly less bandwidth, triggering cascading failures.

Could be an interesting case. reddit is already doing this for 'real time' conversations (via F5 refresh) in respective subreddits during games, speeches, conferences, etc.

Yeah it's worse. Using a privileged position to discredit opposition under the cover of "lolz."

> Better than someone knocking on your door or calling during supper though right?

Please don't pitch yourself as a lesser of two evils. And I can at least cuss out / slam the door on a solicitor. And they aren't going to wake me up in the middle of the night.

Follow up question: do you respect the 'Do not call' registry?

Here's the rub. I'm from a generation that treats SMS as a more personal medium; it's exclusive to my friends and family.

The last thing I want is random spam from any organization, regardless if you think they are trustworthy. If it's unsolicited, it's spam.

Feature request: add a platform level opt-out.

> Hustle tries its best to only work with organizations that are reaching out to people who actually want to hear from them

But I can still receive unsolicited texts, correct? If organization X discovers my phone number, they can add it to their distribution list without my consent?

Where's your opt-out form?

The last thing I want is a Mailchimp for SMS. Hardly innovative.

The problem is that calling "blaming the victim!" dismisses the list of faults these whistle blowers are bringing to light.

Please don't bring social justice theory into a factual discussion of a company's missteps and negligence that resulted in a serious breach of its systems.

What will really happen? I'm looking forward to the conversations over coffee.

Janette: So Bob, I asked you for coffee because I need to talk to you about something serious.

Me: ... Ok?!

Janette: What browser do you use? Is it Firefox?

Me: Uh, yeah. Why?

Janette: Well, the CEO ... ... ...

Me: Fack off.

IDGAF. Tools are tools.

Should I throw up messages to users on Chrome that Google's CEO feels x or supports y (given any x or y I can find on the first page of search results)?

Or maybe I should warn iOS users about Foxconn's treatment of factory laborers.

I've written code for the benefit of Reddit and seen its use pop up in a white supremacy subreddit. Do I care? Should I censor or ban its use? No.

Congrats okcupid, you've won the prize for worst proselytization attempt.

for those bumping up against their paywall.

That's a resounding Lana-like yuuuuup.

You can bet money that if I want into YC my next startup will have a female founder. I'd be stupid not to.

You're right. I was entirely fooled by the creative language in the article's title. Expectations shattered, I started drinking again after 6 months of sobriety.
