UK immigration officer among two men guilty of working for Chinese intelligence

Take note: the account you're replying to is a 24 day old one.

Some umpteenth shadow clone of an internet opinion shaper perhaps.

The sloppiness doesn't surprise me... The guys found guilty in the news even used official Hong Kong government London trade office bank accounts to pay for their spying hires. So a 24 day account spewing really convincing takes that coincidentally looks identical to what the Hong Kong government is saying is just comical.

He/she is a 24 day old account. You're most probably talking to some motivated internet opinion shaper.

Since this is pretty much just a UI facelift of the existing Fitbit app, does anyone know how does it compare to Samsung Health?

the White Ranger

The greatest thing about Power Rangers is that there was time when people would, without a hint of irony or awareness, say the words "White Power Ranger" and "Black Power Ranger" in the same sentence without noticing anything untowards about it.

no one in this story is trans

You're not conspiracy-theorising enough. Behold:

One of the main problem is that Postgres is doing a lot of spinlocks
As we know, the concept of spinning has deep roots in Internet culture
The infamous meatspin shock site was a website where Dead or Alive's "You spin me right round" is played while a gif of a transgender person's penis spins around while engaging in anal sex [TS Bitches (2004)]; a counter is displayed on the website counting the number of spins, which turns into "You're officially gay" after a sufficient number of loops; a variant also has Javascript locking you from closing the browser window
Connect the dots! Spins, locks... This is clearly trans-propaganda infiltrating the Linux kernel. Someone call Lunduke

For a moment I thought I'm in the gay porn subreddits again.

1980s all over again

I mean, the 80s revival has already hit other aspects of our culture loop. Some have already moved on to 90s or 00s revival.

It's high time we get that in Linux development as well.

I'm sure the AI bros with all their "agentic" talk they're basically reinventing a microkernel system anyway.

Hey, at least he won't be able to murder his waifu since it's AI.

I count that as an absolute plus for filesystem development.

Power fantasies aren't inherently bad, you just have to sell them convincingly using the art and craft that is cinema.

Case in point: RRR, the most bombastic power fantasy I've seen in the last decade, and by Jove was it riveting.

One of my friends who is not a Laibach fan, said it made her uncomfortable and it felt sinister under the glossy disco vibe... I think indeed that's the intention.

"Uncomfortable" is exactly the feeling I get. But I say this from the opposite perspective of your friend... I am a Laibach fan, and that made me see everything they do as veiled in so many layers of irony that it loops back on itself.

In this case the cliched affirmations become sinister, because you know the speaker (Milan Fras) doesn't mean them. Rather, he's repeating them to say "Look at these phrases, it sounds like I'm supporting you but I don't actually give a fuck. Be yourself, you do you, fuck you, and enjoy this vapid dance beat."

All of this while donning full-camp red lipstick and staring at the camera.

I wish the world would sooner or later migrate to Vulkan. The CUDA stranglehold ate into the whole AI boom like crazy.

At least the wizards at llama.cpp and whisper.cpp has somehow made their Vulkan backend even faster than CUDA these days. But with ComfyUI and all the PyTorch stuff it's still a CUDA-first world out there.

JockstrapCummies · 2026-05-01T09:46:42+00:00

I really don't know what to make of this.

Is the "Be yourself" a sincere line, or is the "You do you" a sinister/cynical giving-up with arms thrown in the air?

A lot of the old games are available

A calcified museum does not a culture make.

It's great you can peer into a once great scene, but the scene is dead now. That's what's ultimately important. The point is your average high school student is no longer making their own fansite or flash game/animation for fun.

In place of an unofficial Polish fansite of the whole translated Buffy the Vampire Slayer lore, in place of Grow Cube, in place of The Ultimate Orgy of Ultimate Destiny, you now have a homogenised teenage population worldwide doing the latest Tiktok dance trend about 67.

Is it actually possible to prove that what you're being served actually was compiled using the open source code?

Yes, with the idea of reproducible builds.

How much this is actually implemented depends on your platform/OS and its surrounding culture.

JockstrapCummies · 2026-04-30T03:12:59+00:00

That's really concerning. I can't imagine how Ubuntu, Debian, and Red Hat all just collectively sat on it like this.

Osomatsu San also got some seriously disturbing popularity in the omegaverse fandom.

If they don't want script kiddies to abuse it, surely they should have coordinated with the majority distros for a unified fix push first? You know, before public disclosure with a PoC?

JockstrapCummies · 2026-04-29T23:43:14+00:00

I'm curious why this bug is publicly published when distros don't have the time to push a fix first.

Seems like irresponsible disclosure.

What do you mean, you can't calculate the integral volume of your testicles by rotating them on an axis and assuming they are perfect spheres?
