JohnnyLarue··on You wouldn't steal a font
But... fonts aren't copyrightable. Was this a patented font?
JohnnyLarue··on Minecraft's Uncensored Virtual Library
Again with this??
JohnnyLarue··on A CIA informant stopped Taiwan from developing nuclear weapons
The way they characterize Taiwan as a completely separate entity from China that is yearning to breathe the sweet air of liberty is actually frightening. They do it without even thinking now.
JohnnyLarue··on Google does not want rights to things you do using Chrome (2008)
It's important to remember that no matter what they write in the agreement, they can will still be sued, and they can and may still be found at fault. So the utility of edge case disclaimers are questionable at best, and indicate 'evil' intent at worst.
JohnnyLarue··on A DOGE staffer appears to be posting DOGE work on his public GitHub
The answer is...nothing.
JohnnyLarue··on Petition to Remove the Canadian Government from Twitter
This will not happen until Twitter loses its reach. Getting the word out in an emergency is far, far more important than potentially legitimizing a white supremacist platform.
JohnnyLarue··on Multiple Russia-aligned threat actors actively targeting Signal Messenger
State-aligned, huh? This is the US State Department talking point equivalent of a movie poster that brags, "From the studio that brought you..."
JohnnyLarue··on South Korea bans new DeepSeek AI downloads
South Korea is a US puppet regime, so those friendly relationships only extend as far as the US will allow it. The moment they need something, like say helping them paint China as a devious infectious entity bent on world domination, or that the DPRK is full of backwards nitwits who are dominated by an insane dictator, the South Korean government bends over backwards to comply.
JohnnyLarue··on Google Pay Study Finds It Underpaid Men for Some Jobs (2019)
Let's hope not.
JohnnyLarue··on Google Pay Study Finds It Underpaid Men for Some Jobs (2019)
LOLOLOL and the union dues too, right? Guy is fresh out of Praeger U.
JohnnyLarue··on An Upstate Town Took Back Its Power (2023)
Publicly-owned is socialism. It's the workers owning the means of production.
JohnnyLarue··on Mystery brain disease patients in New Brunswick say they welcome investigation
This has been studied, and multiple times concluded that there is no mystery brain disease. This is all based upon one doctor's very shoddy investigation based almost entirely on supposition, and for the media to keep treating it credulously is absurd clickbaiting.
JohnnyLarue··on Reagan National Airport Black Hawk-CRJ Crash
It's astonishing to me that someone so rational and rigorous will, without breaking stride, declare without evidence that "DEI-based hiring will sadly increase the number of those with lower ability, just as in any other field of endeavor." Just an absolutely wild example of motivated reasoning from someone who almost certainly never forgets to check their blind spots (in the physical world).
JohnnyLarue··on Enshittification isn't caused by venture capital
Counterpoint: It is.
JohnnyLarue··on Ex-OpenAI safety researcher says he's "terrified" by AI development's pace
I'll be terrified when it can actually answer a question without gaslighting me.
JohnnyLarue··on Free Russia Foundation: Empowering Global Pro-Democracy Movements
It wasn't a likely murder. Navalny was never a serious contender against Putin (who is wildly popular because of his reduction in corruption and crime, as well as steps to nationalizing some industries), and he was a CIA asset. Even the head of Ukrainian Intelligence said they didn't believe he was murdered. All of that western media hysteria was a total psyop.
JohnnyLarue··on A Chinese AI model just dropped – but don't ask it about Tiananmen Square
Don't ask western media about it, either, if you want anything resembling facts
JohnnyLarue··on Another undersea cable damaged in Baltic Sea
"experts and politicians accused Russia of orchestrating a hybrid war against the West" spidermen_pointing.jpg
JohnnyLarue··on Two F-14 fighter jets were diverted to USS Midway
War. It's fan-tastic!
JohnnyLarue··on CIA now favors lab leak theory to explain Covid's origins
And there's absolutely no geopolitical reason for the unassailably truthful three-letter terrorist organization to announce this whatsoever.
JohnnyLarue··on Targeting of Taiwan's Undersea Cables Previews Cross-Strait Tensions
Cool propaganda
JohnnyLarue··on Gemini is coming to Google Home
Please... just... stop.
JohnnyLarue··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
Yes, but Ulbricht is a very different case. He's white, you see.
JohnnyLarue··on German TikTokers more approving of China, Russia – survey
Finally, some good news! People starting to see through the damn NATO fog.
JohnnyLarue··on No Trump, didn't make $50B from his memecoin
No, money down!
JohnnyLarue··on Ask HN: Can Hacker News Stay Above Politics?
Life is politics.
JohnnyLarue··on Weaponizing Wikipedia Against Israel
Lol, sounds like a gas!
JohnnyLarue··on DOJ confirms FBI operation that mass-deleted Chinese malware from US computers
"Deleted" "Chinese malware" Uh huh
JohnnyLarue··on Big tech is picking apart European democracy
*capitalism
