How long until Ohio State University degrees are as worthless as toilet paper?

Keep fighting the good fight! And thanks for all your high-quality content!

How about this, then: It fills a niche, but it is full of bad decisions (and fragmentation), and survives mainly by its existing momentum. It's crap in the same sense that Unix is crap: the founder effect has made its flaws impossible to dislodge or rethink.

A popular solution to a problem is not necessarily a good solution to that problem.

Google says: The serfs must not have knowledge.

Google says: The serfs must not have power.

Google says: The serfs must not have independent thought.

Google says: The serfs must keep the money flowing to us.

There's nothing much to doubt. The evidence is always the same: "our web server logs show scrapers originating from IP addresses owned by someone who didn't pay us."

The Verge article is a little clearer. 100,000 threads pilfered over the past year with scraping! Oh no!

(See also: the actual legal filing. I have to admit the headings sound a little unstable.)

I have updated my page on the shittiness of Meta with this new information.

Those "Don't Drink and Orbit" public-service announcements paid off!

Just you wait—they're way more over-represented they are in subreddit moderators... and in the accelerationist movement.

"Actually" read them? Are there a lot of people running around purporting to have read TSR novels, or to have credentials that require doing so?

These badly-behaved bots, mostly from China, are a scourge on the Internet. I have a self-hosted gitea instance and I had to password-protect it to stop the bots from eating all my bandwidth, even after I banned huge swaths of the IPv4 space.

The Trump regime has hijacked the DOJ and we all know the Trump regime hates poor people. In fact, its Big Beautiful Bill is nothing less than a massive redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich.

Mod parent up!

Please?

There are no real downsides to saying the 2026 version is 26 and the 2126 version is 126. It's just [year - 2000]; you can even imagine this is release 026 rather than 26. Personally I'd worry more about what happens in the year 3000 when they have to release version 1000.

Moreover—these are just version numbers, imitative of dates, rather than actual date fields. It's not like someone is going to be charged for unpaid bills because their iOS version number was accidentally parsed as being in the past. Take your damn pills, grandma!
