I really wonder about these youtube ads for these (non-existing, AI slop) incel games... it's always the same pattern, a man is exploited and/or rejected by a woman who gets everything for free he has taken from him, is spat on and whatnot, then starts his quest to fight the demoness or whatever. Are there any articles about those and the companies behind them?

> Fascists are, by definition, socialist.

By what definition?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism

"It is characterized by a hatred for liberalism, socialism, democracy, internationalism and the parliamentary system;" / "It opposes communism, socialism, pluralism, individual rights and equality, and democratic government" / "Fascist nationalism is reactionary in that it entails implacable hostility to socialism and feminism" / "Fascism, at any rate the German version, is a form of capitalism that borrows from Socialism just such features as will make it efficient for war purposes... It is a planned system geared to a definite purpose, world-conquest, and not allowing any private interest, either of capitalist or worker, to stand in its way."

Even Mussolini named fascism as something standing against socialism.

So, what definition are you thinking of?

> I'm unaware of serious historians who don't, at least partially, think this way.

So simply cite the serious historians who think that?

Nobody said that, as I just explained to you.

You putting words into the mouth of others is not you speaking, it's you making noises to drown out the speech of others. So fuck this pretense of caring for free speech. You are what you do.

Giving them an opportunity to speak on immigration by handling it so badly.

If I don't put out a fire, you can come along and suggest pouring kerosene on it, and if I handle shit badly enough, people might say hey, why not. But if I put the fire out while you're still a toddler, what can you do? Suggest to start a fire and pour kerosene on it?

> to me this sounds exactly like the type of fascist rhetoric everyone warns about

Well going by what you just did, I would have to guess you would say this about just about anything except fascist rhetoric. To try to twist something to harmless and banally true as the above into some sinister fascist ideology, while shrugging off people calling the Holocaust a "Fliegenschiss", who plan to abolish education about that time, does have a Gschmäckle.

A cheap operation is still infinitely more costly than no operation at all though. And not everything is on a local SSD, even just with a NAS, not to mention FTP, I really wouldn't want there to be no file extensions.

How would webdev look like? At first the HTML goes into "document", the style into "style", and before you know it, you're re-inventing extensions as prefixes or suffixes anyway, and I prefer users.sqlite to users_db. I honestly don't even see a problem to solve, so even the "cheapest" solution seems needlessly costly to me.

But even on system where they aren't needed they're useful IMO, for me as a user. Magic bytes mean you have to seek into each file, and if you care about file types, it means anything that lists files has to do that.

Not sure about passively consuming it, but people with an audience certainly can get very addicted and engage in very self-destructive behaviour. But we can just call it those things without calling it heroin or opium etc. right?

> I know, I try to listen to them. "Our educational system is falling apart"

Are they aware that the AfD wants to introduce homeschooling?

https://www.news4teachers.de/2026/05/afd-will-schulpflicht-f...

Probably not, right? I mean, unless they're criticism is that they totally would love to teach their kid all these things much better than they do in school, but the kid won't accept homeschooling in the afternoon when it already went to school in the morning, but I kinda doubt that's their issue.

Anyways, thanks and kudos for talking to and listening to them. I think our society really fucked up in that regard. I have to think of things as old as "Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe.... ARSCHLOCH!", if you know what I mean... then we rested on being better than the poor conspiracy theorists and "Covidioten" and whatever. Rarely do we try to work with people we find "too disagreeable". And now we have the salad :(

I heard some really weird stuff about Ukrainians from some people, some of them otherwise very much not right-wing, and I can only attribute it to the internet. They certainly wouldn't give me a real source for where they got that from, but kinda just dropped it and moved to something else.

Well, translate it then, because that's the best I could do. How is the question whether someone uses agentic coding relevant in this context? To me it's like asking "so, do never drink Kool-Aid and never attend meetings?" with an air of having caught someone out, and to me the obvious reply would be "sure do, but it's not poisoned Kool-Aid and they're not cult meetings, so why do you ask?"

> it seems it would take some Stuxnet level of planning for a rogue model to do something like this

or maybe it could just.. happen? Posted often but not discussed yet: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Language+models+transmit+behaviour...

> As artificial intelligence systems are increasingly trained on the outputs of one another, they may inherit properties not visible in the data. Safety evaluations may therefore need to examine not just behaviour, but the origins of models and training data and the processes used to create them.

So you neither acknowledge nor disagree with any of that. As if it's nothing. I would if you don't care when it falls to fascism, it's not your home. You gave up your "former" country and you're not being a fellow country person in your new one, either, kinda like you don't really show up to this conversation, but worse. Since what you say has no substance it's as if you didn't say it in the first place. It just took up space and time, for nothing. Does that answer your question?

As in, don't be ungrateful to our lord, because we're not a cult?

> Why do so called anti fascists act fascistically

Because anyone call themselves anti-fascist, doesn't make them so. While most people who are, well, not fascists probably don't wear or care about the label. You basically confirmed the point of the comment you replied to.

> I’m sure there are supremacists “organizations” that are also hard to pin down.

You mean the ones that aren't organizations? Let's say all the people who are racist in the world, are they an organization? Even all the people who really hate the same "race", if that's all they do, does that make them an org? Is everyone making inane arguments be part of a global group of people working in concert trying to diminish the cognitive capacity and level of discourse in society?

If you don't see an issue with the White House constantly posting straight up Nazi memes then that's on you. There's also plenty immigrants in Europe who vote for fascists, so? Turns out you can't just leave your "former" country behind like an old coat, it's still your upbringing and horizon. You are grateful "to the country", but what does that mean while also shrugging off what the people in "the country" are saying? What is left of "the country"? A bunch of papers, rights and money, opportunities for you; let the goons roam and fill their warehouses, keep children, even infants in despicable conditions, because you (think you) have nothing to fear?

A long time ago on the forum I hang out with, I said something like "this is amazing, this is like heroin!" about whatever (not even a substance, probably something silly like a song or a video game). A guy who I knew as nothing but laid back and gracious scolded me in a way I remember to this day... not the exact words, but part of it was that he knew a couple who just handed off their new born baby for adoption to get their next shot. And I could tell there was a lot unsaid, too. Sorry for the tangent, but I guess, fuck heroin etc., and all the power to anyone struggling with it, things like it, or has loved ones or friends that do.

> the idea that strict vegan diets would have stoped climate change is just nonsense

Yeah, where did you get it from? They said "strict vegan diets, ground based mass transit, dense development & re-wilding, energy transition" Would you also have said "the idea that energy transition and ground based mass transit would have stopped climate change is just nonsense", too?

Only to then go on to talk about "the reality of human society", as so often with these top response to the top comment. It's the sophistry two-step.

Might as well say you're a hypocrite for calling these people hypocrites but not others, and unless you criticize all things at the same time, which is impossible, it's all magically invalid.

No, these are really fucked up people, to leap from that to "the species" and from that to "evolution" which humans had no clue about even hundreds of years ago... is just avoiding confronting that and them. It's half of the the reason for why these things happen and get worse, a sort of global bystander effect. We feel okay to in public dismiss this.

If you were one in a group of 4 people, and one of them fed poison to a child to remove a stain from their shoe, or just for a laugh, or for 2 cents, and someone got upset, would you talk about the species or evolution first thing? What habit did we normalise here?

If THEY would use themselves as excuse for the rest, like you do with them, I wouldn't consider them decent people. There are decent people in the US military and police force, there may be even a stray decent ICE agent. I bet you there's decent people getting sent into the meat grinder by Putin, too. But if any of them were adamant about not wanting to hear about all sorts of fuckery of what they are part of or any overarching context, because they are oh so decent, they're not decent, they're just spineless. It's subjective anyway, and bitching about it never ever helps the verdict.

> You can write a thousand lines of commercial-grade spaghetti, and tell the LLM to format and document it.

Yes, you can tell the LLM to format and document it. You can also tell an effigy of Richard Nixon, or write it on a piece of paper and burn it. Of course you can do such things, but the important question is what that gains you.

Yesterday I vibe slop coded something, being very lazy about it, it being a throwaway experiment. Gemini wrote this for me:

      span.onclick = (e) => {
          e.stopPropagation();
          loadFolder(node.fullPath);
      };
      li.appendChild(span);
      if (node.children && node.children.length > 0) {
          node.children.forEach(child => li.appendChild(renderTree(child)));
      }
      ul.appendChild(li);
      return ul;
    }
    async function loadFolder(folderPath) {

Note the function name "loadFolder", and the short distance between the definition and where it gets called... So after a bunch of other changes, one change it made completely broke everything. I didn't check any of the code, but just described the symptoms etc.

first fix attempt:

    // Call your backend loader safely
    if (typeof loadFolderFiles === "function") {
        loadFolderFiles(nodePath);
    } else if (typeof loadFiles === "function") {
        loadFiles(nodePath);
    }

second fix attempt:

    // Call your app's existing folder loader
    if (typeof loadFolderFiles === "function") {
        loadFolderFiles(nodePath);
    } else if (typeof loadFiles === "function") {
        loadFiles(nodePath);
    }

third:

    // Call backend loader
    if (typeof loadFolderFiles === "function") {
        loadFolderFiles(nodePath);
    } else if (typeof loadFiles === "function") {
        loadFiles(nodePath);
    }

and finally:

> Most likely, your original code either passed childNode to a function like selectFolder(node) or sent a specific fetch() request. Here is the updated renderTree function [..]

    if (typeof selectFolder === "function") {
        selectFolder(childNode);
    } else if (typeof onFolderSelect === "function") {
        onFolderSelect(nodePath);
    } else if (typeof loadFolderFiles === "function") {
        loadFolderFiles(nodePath);
    } else if (typeof loadFiles === "function") {
        loadFiles(nodePath);
    } else {
        // Direct API fetch fallback if your backend uses a standard endpoint
        fetch(`/api/files?path=${encodeURIComponent(nodePath)}`)
            .then(res => res.json())
            .then(data => {
                if (typeof renderFileList === "function") renderFileList(data);
            })
            .catch(err => console.error("Error fetching folder files:", err));
    }

I can only imagine what is going on out there right now, but I fully assume most of it is not very good, lots of it horrifying crap that technically, kinda works.

That's not just a rough sentence though, it kinda flies in the face of trying to protect the child. Putting a parent of a 5 year old in jail? For this? To make sure the child has a better childhood?

I would not feel safe walking the street, or being at home, or even being dead or in the afterlife, while such stupid and vindictive adults walk freely. Who knows what they'll get up to next!

To even desire that you have to be so broken and impoverished I would say no, you wouldn't have failed, in the same way a dog farting didn't fail to make perfume. They don't even know what perfume is, don't know about any of the ingredients, equipment and processes. And even if they did, that wouldn't do them any good because they don't have opposable thumbs, so why be cruel and even try to explain it to them? It will either frustrate them because they don't understand, or frustrate them even more in the extremely unlikely case that they do.

But more importantly, companies aren't people, they can't be unhappy or happy. They're like fire, you don't ask what the fire wants, you ask how to make it useful.

What does "the cloud" have to do with anything in this context? That is so utterly orthogonal to how good a UI/UX is.

there's a million stickers, calenders, whatever in German saying this about men :P

It doesn't help with the additional work/chores, at least initially, but someone on HN had a really good idea IMO, just take the code, and close the PR.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474708

I saw the argument that if OS maintainers "really care" about their projects, they would accept valid contributions regardless origin. Well, turn it around: if you really care so much about contributing, if you really just wanna HeLP, you don't need the credit. The warm fuzzy feeling that your contribution ended up being used should be enough.

> A keyboard driven UI shouldn’t have buttons.

You mean because they're basically just in the way, right?

I know it's asking a bit much, but IMO advanced software ideally has

- buttons, pretty colors and icons where they make sense

- keyboard shortcuts for everything

- complete documentation that ships with it (sure "it's online anyway".. so find a way to automate putting what you have on the website into the release in a form that works offline)

- preferences to hide some or all buttons/toolbars, turn off the icons, and change some or all keyboard shortcuts. GUI is cool for that, text files are also cool. In other words, why not have everything? Maybe you could even compile a version that strips out all the stuff that can be turned off, or at least hardcodes some preferences, so the compiler can skip some things that are no longer called etc.

Not a must-have but nice-to-have: tooltips for all things and maybe advanced help, so you don't need the documentation as much, or not at all for simple use cases. But if the docs are complete, I think it's fine to keep the program and development process simpler by not duplicating that in tooltips. Don't go out of your way, unless you want to.

But as I said, that's for "advanced software", by which I mean software you spend a lot of time in. Browser, text editor, email client, file manager, graphics software, and so on. With simpler tools I'm usually just happy they exist.

Why not assume someone does have the best interest of their own project at heart? How do you get to question that out of the gate, while pretending automated grammar and spelling fixes to rack up PR counts are benevolent unless proven otherwise? Simply assume the person who made the thing you didn't make, who was the only person (or persons) on the planet to come up with that exact thing, knows what's best for that person (or persons). Just like you would handle your own stuff.

FWIW I got a bunch of "(-)10.00 native" in the console, "PAGE" never showed up no matter what I tried. Firefox, also a Logitech mouse, no trackpad though.

Thanks to the infinite well of human creativity I am able to read "load-bearing" both as the intended affectation (I won't call it meaning) as as well "being full of shit".
