Why would you believe a word he wrote? He wasn’t even immortal.

Rate limits are independent of the image storage backend. The rate limit for uploading images are probably a bit conservative.

The image uploading service (pictrs) has some deduplication feature. I am assuming it saw that the checksum of your image already exists in the database and just gave you an alias instead of storing the image your uploaded. Uploading a new image with a new checksum bypassed this feature.

Not that they don’t work but it’s a half decent way to bypass denuvo. Recent example: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

What distro do you use for gnome?

I wonder what the lowest point is at which life can be found… Watching documentaries like Blue Planet and seeing the wierd types of life that exists in deep sea in crisp high definition is mind boggling.

No I hadn’t thought of using GNOME. Thanks for the suggestions. I didn’t know those extensions existed.

It’s not packaged by the distro: https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=x86_64&q=cosmic

There is also the option of using lxqt. Its wayland session allows integrating niri, sway etc. I haven’t given it a go yet.

I am not sure what the statue is supposed to symbolise but it looks nice.

“Cancelled Cartoonist Dead” is an excellent headline

It’s not OCR but rather this: https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2026/02/02/whats-up-with-all-those-equals-signs-anyway/

I don’t understand it fully but it smells right to me

I herniated my disc from deadlifting but it never got so bad that I had to scream. In the end I never fully recovered from it but stretching exercises help a ton in retaining lower back mobility. Did something happen to your brother which let to this herniated disc?

This is good for bitcoinAI

Is there new stuff on Chomsky?

The only one I could find

Look at how slowly we are jumping off this cliff

USA is cringe for sure but I cannot imagine looking at what Americans do and thinking that the country is uniquely worse at critical thinking than the rest of world. Sure, their education system and the people coming out of it are abysmal considering its the wealthiest country in the world. But there are tangible reasons for it, like the underfunded public education system. I look at the people around where I live and most of them are not good at critical thinking either. It is not something that is taught in general.

The other sad thing is what made him surface this thought is the rambling of a weird nazi on X, the everything app. That platform is a cesspool of all varieties of fascists who inhale oxygen just so they are able to make atrocious bad faith posts on it. Now Musk even pays them for it. Content creators cannot fathom leaving that website because a big chunk of their self worth and income is tied to their follower count. Don’t use that website that all. Otherwise don’t use it to survey national mentual acuity. Just be normal.

Even words like dumb, stupid, imbecile, moron have always had an ableist subtext. But that subtext has somewhat eroded over time because we don’t call mentally disabled folks those in a clinical sense (except for dumb). I don’t like using these words myself but it’s not a big deal to use these words.

R*tarded meanwhile to this day means mentally disabled as a clinical category. It is always used as an insult and a pejorative. It has the implication that mentally disabled people are subhuman. This makes the term exclusionary and robs disabled people from the chance of being a part of the rest of the society, something that is their right. Even “mentally disabled” is an uncharitable descriptor. Most people labeled as such are just different and can contribute to the society just as much as a so called able people can given that they are accepted and accomodated for. Conditions where there is a full spectrum mental disability are a subset of all the conditions which are labelled as mental disability.

Then there is the issue that most people you are calling r*tarded are in fact not technically r*tarded. They are being asinine for some other reason. But if you call them r*tarded you are insulting, along with them, all the mentally disabled for no good reason. At best you are inconsiderate and at worst you think disabled people are subhuman which makes you an ableist.

We’re building X-Chat to give people a space where privacy, AI assistance, and clarity come first.

Claims about privacy and then in the same breath talks about feeding all your messages to a paedophile large language model named Mecha Hitler.

This is straight up what trasfuture said was going to happen
