It's a mockery of Justice.
boobsbr··on Reddit CEO Triples Down, Insults, Whines
There were ceddit and removeddit, which kept a copy of everything, for viewing deleted comments/posts.

Maybe someone out there still has an automated dump set up.

No no, no content from reddit. It was a very similar clone. Plagued by slow speeds and that 'special' crowd from /b/.

boobsbr··on Show HN: I made a deceptively simple but hard sliding puzzle
This game has been invented before.

Not a dunk on you, people come up with similar or identical ideas all the time without knowing at all about previous instances of the idea.

I first learned about this game from a YouTuber named Cary KH, he named his game Loop Over.

Coincidence, maybe?

It gives off "Snow Crash" vibes.
boobsbr··on EU tells Google to delist Russian state media websites from search
Terrifying.

The fact that a massive lobbying group compromised of millionaires, billionaires, mega corporations, with representatives 'infiltrated' in governments around the world should be a huge warning sign to anything they say/do.

The more I learn about the WEF, the more I dislike it.

I know this trope is tired but:

"Big Brother knows what's best for you."

boobsbr··on EU tells Google to delist Russian state media websites from search
This is awful.

People should be able to search for Russian propaganda, and see what kind of narrative they are weaving.

boobsbr··on FLoC Away from Chrome
Well, when I saw sites that didn't work properly on Chrome because they were tailored to IE/Edge, or went out to of their way to inconvenience me about it, I just stopped browsing them. Or disabled all scripts and blocked cookies, or wrote a filter on uBlock.

I don't think sites want to risk losing users because of the the browser they use. Competition is brutal out there.

boobsbr··on FLoC Away from Chrome
I didn't flip because of features, everything was working just fine for me. I flipped beacuse Chrome, at the time, was incredibly faster and snappier than Firefox. And it remained like that for a long time. I bet a ton of users switched for the same reason.
boobsbr··on Renaming Coq
Seeing 8 GO mobile data plans was really weird the first time.

Then I remembered my telecom classes and we use octets because there's no confusion regarding byte sizes in older differet architectures.

Makes you think that Kernighan and Ritchie chose really well the least problematic name for their language.
boobsbr··on Renaming Coq
Reminds me of people on Twitter being outraged because the color of an item was written on its packaging in multiple languages:

Black Negro Nero Preto

boobsbr··on Renaming Coq
There's a sporting goods brand called Le Coq Sportif.

There are people with the surname Le Coq.

This Anglo-centrism bothers me as well, because we can find words in English that sound dirty in other languages.

Where I am ATM, it's pronounced 'cock'.
