@xssfox #1 requires hiring some smart people and sticking them in a room with plenty of caffeine and waiting #2 requires coordinating design changes between two (or more!) teams.
And having worked for Google, I can tell you that they have plenty of money but organization is not one of strong suits
Day #2: libertarian spies on alt accounts post screenshots of various major libshits celebrating that every problem has been solved since blocking all right-wingers. The site is no longer toxic. No more lies. And libertarian trolls are losing engagement. It's a total victory.
Day #3: with nobody else but themselves to argue with, leftists started accusing each other of not being left-wing enough; of being secret libertarian infiltrators, some of even playing the long game by spending years posing as leftists only to subvert the movement now, after the mass blockings.
They have now started doxing each other. :pepe_feelsweird:
@salvatorelasorella #2 ...Indeed, there never was an "open source movement" -- the point of the term "open source" was to discard the deeper principles of the free software movment and present the issues solely in terms of practical convenience. That's why I do not advocate "open source". If you agree with me, I suggest you support us, by joining the Free Software Foundation at fsf.org.
@rlier23 I was invited to a BA club and even they were surprised when I put Hina in #3 spot for character tier list (Shun #1, and I think Rio was #2 after I updated). "Why is the booby and milf guy putting Hina up there."
I think it's because Hina is very mature... I like mature women, the best often combine body and spirit, but Hina only lacks the body (which as we all know fades with time). Honestly if Hina was more Hasumi/Shun/Rio looking I think she'd take top spot. Also her machinegun is awesome, dakka dakka dakka. Her interactions with sensei in the beginning of the story even though we knew little about Gehenna and Ako was the aggressor, it was still AWESOME.
btw shoutouts to Fuuka. She deserves less stress in her life.

She just sued her fans for saying she's creepy online with 8 lawyers against 1 and lost :kekw:
"TL;DR (Also, I've never had to read legalese in Japanese before so apologies in advance for any errors.)
The court proceedings ended on Oct. 27, 2023, a judgment was passed on Jan. 18.
The anonymous posts were posted on Aug. 15-16, 2022, so the court request may have been filed around then.
She hired eight lawyers for this one request. The defendant, the SoftBank Group (presumably because they provided internet/mobile data to the anonymous poster(s)), had only one.
Translation of one of the two anonymous posts in the report:
You should really stop saying things like, "I'm gonna lick this knife," "I wanna kill 'em" at age 33.
It's just creepy.
Act your age!
(The other only contained a redacted URL, apparently to imgur.)
Her five arguments justifying the disclosure of information were:
1. Breach of privacy
Judgment: Invalid because Rushia's age is discoverable with a single Google search.
2. Infringing her honour
Judgment: It is in fact creepy to say things like "I'm gonna lick this knife," or "I wanna kill 'em," so it wouldn't be considered illegal under Japanese law.
3. Copyright violations
Judgment: The image was hosted on an external site (imgur) so linking it isn't illegal since you can't know if the poster uploaded it. (Also it apparently wasn't copyrightable for some reason...? Something about it being editable.)
4. Copyright requirement to source other people's work with a name
(Apparently the imgur screenshot cropped out her name)
Judgment: The wording was kinda confusing for this one, but I think the final judgment was that the name didn't need to be displayed because the image redacted personally identifiable information...?
5. Disclosure is necessary in order to press charges against the anonymous posters
There was no specific judgment for this argument.
Most people in the replies and quote-retweets seem to be most amused about the judgment for Argument #2, as a judge told her in polite legalese that they agreed with the anonymous poster."
The users on the Overplus hack Discord server were just as furious. (#1) One of the administrators of the hack wrote a schizo post about how they were 'holding back' out of respect and how they'd totally win against VALVe by making MEANER AND MEATIER SUPERhacks. (see #2, #3 is cleaner)
