Blocking outbound SMTP makes some sense. A few others. Wielding it as a blunt object has just left us shoving everything in the world out as HTTPS and has concretely worsened just about everything

General outbound port blocking is maybe the stupidest Internet "security" practice ever devised

"Kids should spend more time outside, doing social activities, spending time with friends"

Oh so you're going to stop aggressively policing kids everywhere, make safe spaces where kids can congregate without a lot of money, improve walkability and back off on Structured Academics?

"No we're just gonna take away their ability to talk with their friends or do things online so that they're more vulnerable and isolated"

Do you know what's just as bad as [bad thing]? Complaining about [bad thing]! (gargles a whole gallon of piss)

yes, im gay. yes, im also a faggot. yes, we exist

due to budget cuts, the missile no longer knows where it is

not gay as in happy, not queer as in fuck you, but a secret, heavily armed third thing

your ai girlfriend that you're giving yourself psychosis by jacking off to is not the same system analyzing images from JWST you disingenuous fuck

Ever notice how many AI booster dipshits, especially the ones being "skeptical" in a way that somehow continues to insist that the slop bobot is inevitable, love to dishonestly conflate LLMs and shit with general machine learning and HPC techniques, and how they have really punchable faces?

LLMs do not "democratize programming". A 4-year-old can learn to program. LLMs throw up stupid barriers by convincing you that you can't learn to program and you have to rely on whatever shit the bobot spits out. Every asshole that says that AI "democratizes" fucking anything is trying to scam you.

Organizational critique is not a personal attack and people need to get over that

I refuse to use github because I'm not part of anyone's "supply chain". When I post source code to use it's for perverts and weirdos to make stuff with, no for big companies to use in favor of paying anyone

"software supply chain" oh okay so you have a contract and a business relationship... No? You found some shit on github that says "NO WARRANTY" and whose license requires you to affirm that Cirno is the strongest in Gensokyo and you used it without even auditing in production code and now you're mad it broke? Is that what happened? Are you stupid? Yes, yes you are!
