love how this secular faggot has like, 14 repositories on his git. this is what these idiots kowtow towards
EDIT: Someone pointed out that there's bullshitery going on. Looks like this might be a false flag of sorts?

Though with Adobe and it's greedy subscription model, and others slowly following suit (like CSP on ipads), they might be the lesser of two evils.


The Krita team seems to actively hate its users, but my hate for subscription models Is the only reason I'm cheering for them.

So Microsoft decided to spread some cheap holiday cheer by putting a Santa hat on a cogwheel icon in a recent Visual Studio Code update. Here's a screenshot.

Of course, doing so was pretty much akin to starting a second Holocaust.



What a ridiculous comment! There's no way that anyone would take this seriou-



Now putting the Santa hat in in the first case was kinda dumb, but then rushing to remove it because it's literally KILLING JEWS is even more so. So of course the pendulum must swing back: Santa Hat removal on vscode insiders and bending to one jew is very offensive to me

The reaction votes on the posts are on the side of keeping the Santa hat, by the way.

This is so fucking retarded. And add on the general shitlib butthurt over Neil Gorsuch saying "merry Christmas" on Fox News. Gotta love "atheists" getting mad at the most vaguely culturally Christian shit but "muh oppressed Muslim cinnamon buns. Did I mention I hate religion grrr"

But the best part hands down:

additionally xmas has cost millions of Jews their lives over the centuries

OYYYYY VEEYYYYYYYYYY SIX HUNDRED TRILLION DIED FOR YOU EVIL GOYIM TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

How is a Santa hat a religious symbol anyway?
Santa Claus is like ten steps removed from any actual Christian figure.

To be fair, as someone who has maintained OSS projects myself, the first poster's "how hard could it be?" attitude can be quite grating. People often underestimate the complexity of these things. Granted, "if you're so smart, code it your damn self" is not the most mature attitude to respond with, but I can see where the frustration came from.

Oh, I totally get that, but it's not the first time they had that attitude, trust me. I have posted other examples, but the gist of it is that they are super arrogant, and treat their users with contempt. It's like they love the fact they don't need to treat their users with respect because they are funded by donations.

Still, I only root for them as they are one of the few programs in the way of Adobe, and their competitors, imposing subscriptions to everything.

Whats messed up is a lot of people posting in his repos now seem to be using their real accounts. There is a huge chance that GitHub (MSFT) will again side with him when the post is reported. Please be careful.

EDIT: Now he is threatening visiting his site that he has their IP address.

The issue thread over on Microsoft github was hilarious. Can't say I'm surprised Microsoft did this. Since when has the Santa hat been a symbol of the slaughter of the kikes? Also has the dude's garbage website been ddos yet?

So I played a video with VLC today and wash shocked to see this virulent anti-semitism.

When will the persecution of G*d's chosen people end? How many more children must die?

Why does youtube-dl download MP4s from YouTube maybe nine times out of ten, but then every once in a while it decides to download a WebM instead? Why would anyone but the most assholish Google fanboy ever want to download a WebM when an MP4 is available? Yes, I know about the -f option, but I'm not in the habit of using it since most of the time it gives me the MP4 I actually want. Whatever.

So I'm not expecting any more client work projects for the rest of the year, so I've been tinkering with an idea for a new personal project. It'd be pretty web page centric so I was thinking it'd be a good fit for Drupal, a PHP CMS which I used to use almost exclusively for both personal and client work. I've been tinkering with it and it's changed a lot, but I've been slowly chipping away at learning what's new.

I found myself in one of the issue queues for one of the contributed modules (third-party add-ons) when I noticed something unfortunate.

Pronouns in the bios… Granted, only a small minority of user accounts seem to actually be using this feature, but for a project which has already had problems with perception and focusing on actually important things, it's a fairly visible step in the wrong direction.

I went to edit my profile because I was curious what options they provided. (As I type this, I'm starting to vaguely recall that even back in my day they added a field like this on profiles which had options for "male/female/other" or something like that, but that info just appeared on a user's profile page, not on all of their posts.) They deftly sidestep the issue by making it a text field rather than a list. But right below that field was another forehead-slap-inducing surprise.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE COLLECT DATA ON HOW MUCH OF A VICTIM YOU ARE DESPITE HAVING NO FUCKING RELEVANCE TO OUR SOFTWARE. CLICK THAT LINK TO LEARN ABOUT WHY WE COLLECT THIS DATA. IT WILL TAKE YOU TO A PAGE THAT DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXPLAIN WHY WE COLLECT THIS DATA.

All right, LC. Just ignore it and use the software. Just use the software.

36C3 Staff Brutally Assaulted Me for Political Reasons

On Saturday night (Sunday morning) at around 4:30AM my friend and I were the victim of a brutal assault that was started, escalated, and carried out by the most senior members of the Orga group of the Chaos Communication Congress. If it were not for the evidence we collected, you would think I was crazy. But these abuses are very real. CCC is an organization whose leadership has been infected with people who use their power to exert political will over their victims, and have demonstrated that they are willing to resort to violence to meet some political end and theft to destroy evidence. They carry out that violence at the Congress Center in Leipzig, Germany, where the event is held every year.


Who is Responsible?
Michael Hirdes, known as Dodger in the CCC community, is the chairman to the board of the Chaos Computer Club, the organization that runs Congress. He is the head honcho of CCC and is a minor celebrity despite the rumor that orga members try to maintain a low profile and blend in. Michael approached me last year to basically berate me about my free-speech e-mail host, cock.li. When I was not reciprocating to his demands, he told me I was not to register an assembly for 36C3 unless I had written him a big e-mail about how I have changed as a person and how I have removed all of the unfunny content from my website. When I brought up that lots of orga members themselves use cock.li, and that apparently it is not as offensive to everyone as it is to him, Michael informed me "that is why we are talking to you right now, instead of beating the shit out of you". He denies ever saying it, not sure what use that is now.
An important detail to note here is that I have never registered an assembly at C3, and there has never been a cock.li assembly. Also relevant is the Arbitration Board that was set up specifically to deal with the issue of orga members arbitrarily weilding power. Every orga member, angel, and attendee I have described this to said that the Arbitration Board was specifically set up to deal with situations like this, but as we'll see later, this hardly matters to Michael who sees himself as directly superior to the abuse-preventing processes he implemented.

What Happened?
This year I was approached by Michael shortly after having a suspicious conversation with someone from Sea-Watch, whose activities are described as charity by some, and human trafficking by others. Michael started by giddily cherring a "Hallo!! " and asking where his e-mail was from last year. Since he wasn't listening to responses, he continued by insisting that he had actually told me not to come at all unless I sent this e-mail, which was simply not true, and apparently not even that would have been binding. When I brought up the arbitration board, he told me "I rented this event space, I can control who is and is not allowed to be here". The arbitration board is just for his underlings, he is free to abuse his power as he wishes.
Michael was accompanied the whole time by the short-haired woman you see hit the camera in the video. They were insisting we leave, and while having a point is fun we were about to leave. They said we have 5 minutes. But once she put her hands on me (which you can hear in the recording), I sent the audio and switched over to video. Once they saw my camera was on the woman started grabbing for it. As I was walking toward the door to leave, my friend and I were prevented from leaving by an additional gang of staff members who were ready to follow Michael's instructions. The C3 CREW team forced me to the ground and stole my phone. They then jabbed various body parts directly at my neck, at several points cutting of breathing and at one point even circulation of blood. These obviously untrained women were LARPing as real security guards, and apparently it went straight to their head because there were really focused on cutting my breathing. Who would risk brain damage against someone who was already following instructions? Who would tell someone to leave, and then forcibly prevent them from leaving? Corrupt power.
My friend who took the recovered video was eventually brought to the ground and suffered a similar assault. But he managed to keep his phone underneath his body and ultimately saved the video. The CREW team apparently called the police so they could witness what they would later describe as a "crime against us". The police did their police thing and totally believed everything they were hearing at first, but then seemed to wise up and were more interested in hearing any identifying information we might have regarding the women. This process is ongoing
We were arrested, taken to the station, and afterwards my friend went to the hospital and I went back to the center (with police escort) to retrieve my backpack and tuica. It was interesting watching the police take in the congress around them -- they had been inside the CCL before but never for C3. I might of brought up a couple of the terroristic activities that are encouraged systemically there. We had a good time.

Key Failures at 36C3

1. Dodger has become the ultimate dictator of C3, stripping any guise of independent organization or arbitration. Anyone "in" at C3 can route their violence through him.
2. C3 CREW is not a real security organization, and it behaves as the violent arm of Dodger and his friends. CREW is almost certainly a bargaining token with the CCL so they do not have to hire a real security team. A real security team would not use excessive force and try to destroy evidence. That's what thugs do.
3. The Chaos Computer Club literally stole my phone from me and lied to police about it. It was a travel phone with nothing on it, so I hope someone turns it on :^)
4. These problems are self-perpetuating, and are only going to get worse without serious corrections that will have to come from the community.

Just yesterday I hailed CCC as a "mecca", even given what happened last year. I should have been paying closer attention to the cancer that's been infecting this place for years.

What's Next?
The head prosecutor has already started on the case against the individuals who assaulted me. With legal representation I plan on holding CREW, Dodger, and the Chaos Computer Club e.V. responsible. I bet the Leipziger Messe has no idea things are this bad.
