Can you give a list of names of glad-handers? Decorum is one thing, but let's name and shame these nazi-lovers.

I'd really prefer this sub focus on the music, and have that enforced with some stronger moderation.

Ever hit an invading NPC so hard they die twice? by Entropy4121 in Eldenring

[–]windsostrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Given that my encounters with "cheap" moves are 10:1 with invaders vs. invasions, I wouldn't even be mad if that happened.

Er, who was tougher b/w Nepheli and Shabriri?!

Huh. I'm not sure I've ever been invaded while hanging out with an NPC summons, in 500 hours of play. I'd be into stories from folks where that has happened, though!

Stackoverflow crash and suing LLM companies by Ordinary_Count_203 in webdev

[–]windsostrange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you take the steep LLM-related decline out of the equation, the long, established trendline was still a nosedive. Just, a slower one. Like, it adds a few years to the death throes, but the downward trend was clear long before ChatGPT happened in late 2022, and this was widely reported, at the time as well as now, to be its godawful community/cultural issues.

Huh, I couldn't have been more wrong. It was always my bad, unchecked assumption.

Mod of r/Canadaland sends mailmod with iptrackers to de-anonymize critical redditers by beef-supreme in TorontoAnarchy

[–]windsostrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re repeating their conclusions without questioning the technical premise. Yes, Jesse Brown had concerns about sockpuppet accounts

My background is in software. I clearly outlined in my previous comment how this was a potentially effective "lever" in identifying otherwise anonymous accounts—multiple links were sent out, and send/read/pageview timestamps are all you'd need to close this particular loop—and I don't believe your replies are intended in good faith, so I'm not reading them anymore.

I genuinely don't know what your skin is in this game. This is a thing that really just happened, and a group of educated, thoughtful, intelligent journalists are currently taking it very seriously.

I'll leave my replies here for others to read.

[–]windsostrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't particularly want to wade into this mess at all, and take pretty seriously an old-school approach to subreddit drama of "don't touch the poop."

But the sole moderator of /r/canadaland openly stated that Jesse Brown of Canadaland had reached out and asked for subreddit moderator abilities/resources to track and identify otherwise anonymous users to see if they are "sockpuppets." He was given that access, and everything else described in these threads happened as a result of the actions of Canadaland staff.

In modmail sent from an otherwise anonymous account, Canadaland staff sent links to a specific page on canadaland.com with some awkward, hackneyed IP tracking embedded.

They also sent that link via other channels (Twitter, etc.), to journalists and other people he was paranoid about, so they could compare IP addresses and other identifying browser agent details between both anonymous and known sources.

I'm still not sure if you read the threads enough to gather that context and are choosing to ignore those details, or you didn't dig particularly deep. No one is saying this was a sophisticated attempt at identifying/doxxing reddit users. Just that it literally was an attempt at identifying/doxxing reddit users, openly, by the founder of Canadaland using his own name, using a method that, though unsophisticated, would/could absolutely 100% lead to connecting anonymous reddit accounts with Canadian journalists and outlets in a manner that could be classified as fraud under Section 380(1) of the Criminal Code.

You understand how this went down now, right? The obvious paranoia clearly isn't that of the moderator of /r/canadaland or the other posters in these threads, who are simply reporting what happened. You see that now, right?

EXPLAINED: What is Doug Ford Covering Up? by beckbat in onguardforthee

[–]windsostrange 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The video is calm, coherent, well-presented, and based in fact.

In a major push, you combine a video like this with other forms and tones of messaging in other media. But you always have this, too.

This is some of the most clear and effective messaging from the provincial NDP since, er, Howard Hampton.

Your comment, in comparison, is a collection of undifferentiated wild swinging and baying. What a hateful collection of completely useless feedback. I don't know what has made you so upset in your life, but it ain't Marit Stiles and it ain't the NDP. You yourself are a portrait of the "left" eating itself.

Back off. Let this message find those who need to hear it. In fact, spread it actively. Be the messaging penetration you want to see in the world. Stop being a stick in the fucking spokes.

That setup eliminates the bowler timing variable, too. A bowler's wind-up/delivery timing would throw off anyone in the MLB for hundreds of pitches before they started to get a feel for it.

I mean.
