just serve a 403 and be done with it.
A code repo should be mostly static content and almost 0 overhead to serve. Block the bots access to things like search and let them index it. Unless you wrote your code repo stupidly so everything is in a database or something.
 
Genius idea, pollute your own page content among LLMs. They'd be a dangerous people if they ever stopped to think, just serve a 403 and be done with it. I guess that isn't "sticking it to the man" though.
Honestly I could forgive them if they polluted their own page content with as much racist and anti-trannie messages as possible while subtly tinkering with their code to insert backdoors to let anyone own a machine that blindly reproduces their stuff. That, at least, would be creative.
 
I found this site while looking at Drew DeVault related stuff.
People are listed here for multiple reasons. Not only for far-right connections or endorsements, but also for transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, antisemitic, and Islamophobic bigotry; harassment and doxxing; support for abuse platforms such as Kiwi Farms; credible patterns of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse; conspiracy-mongering; and commercial support for deportation and surveillance infrastructure. Do not contact, harass, or engage with these people in any way.
 
If these people wouldn't always go directly to the superlatives and poison the well, there'd actually be a lot of somewhat proper critique that could be levered at places like this. You call everyone a nazi and not only does the word nazi lose all meaning, you open the door for actual nazis to get into proper discourse.

there is a strange correlation between being a retard and being a leftist
 
The bigger issue, for me, is using two monitors with different resolutions. To get a usable font and UI size on a, for example, 4k monitor, you have to scale it up using xrandr. This, however, also scales up the lower resolution monitor, so now its font and UI size is too large. If you try to scale that monitor down you will be very disappointed. This is because X11 treats the "monitor" space as one continuous screen, meaning that scaling the lower resolution monitor down also moves the screen that is supposed to be on the higher resolution monitor into the lower resolution monitor.
If you use a qt based desktop environment then it has per monitor scaling, so you dont have to do this with randr scaling, but the issue you mention at the end sounds like a configuration issue. After you change scaling you may also have to change the coordinates. I've done the thing you mention before, here: https://dec05eba.com/2021/10/11/x11-multiple-monitor-dpi-trick/ it also shows a video demo of what it looks like.

Here is a video that shows that qt per monitor scaling without randr scaling:
 
Call me dense but how does that happen?
My guess is that if someone were to call the kiwi farms a nazi website (heh) then given enough time, genuine neo nazis would sign up expecting to find an actual nazi forum.
Or maybe just the forums users might start wearing the nazi badge as a point of pride whether they believe in any nazi talking points or not.

I do agree with the main sentiment though, it annoys me too. You can't view reddit for more than a few minutes without seeing the word pedophile tossed around. You'd have to wonder how much they've diluted that word, it used to be reserved for people who committed the ugliest acts possible - now it's just thrown out there for any reason. Same with fascist.
 
Call me dense but how does that happen?
Normalization. If public consensus labels opponents as "nazis" (or facists, it really doesn't matter much) the boundary between normal political disagreement and actual extremism vanishes. Then the actual "I think jews should be gassed (but that never happened!)" nazis can blend into mainstream debate under the defense that "haha everyone is a fascist these days. Lefties, amirite?" and yeah that does happen, even on this very forum.

It also causes genuine desensitization to everyone involved.
 
One could argue that the entire Unix philosophy is fascism-coded and bad bad no good
A single program is weak and barely does anything but wrapped together they form a powerful system, remind you of anything???

I'd sooner compare them to an inhuman centipede, considering how pipelines have one program shitting into the mouth of another.
 
I love how the Left and the people who should be killed with hammers are fighting over Omarchy.

Dorsey, Prince and Collison are all great guys who are totally based and totally not real fascists who want to grind liberty into dust for profit and their own way of leftwing politics.
