Not so fast partner, the Supreme Court has upheld as Constitutional, routine and regular administrative requests including documentation to prove age and income. Otherwise, we would have a paper tiger Income Tax.


Bob Newhart was Mr. Rogers for adults. Good show!


IBM to acquire OpenAI is real.


Its almost as if private encrypted chat networks are a thing. Oh, look at that, Mets owner, Steve Cohen paid record fine for insider trading using just that.


I'm not here to shill for Steve Cohen, but I believe that many long/short (fundamental) hedge funds use an "onion strategy" to share insider information from analyst to trader. It's probably defamation to write this, but I do think Steve Cohen has seen plenty of insider information in his trading career provided by analysts that work his fund. That said, he was never found guilty of insider trading. Look it up. He paid a huge fine, but did not admit fault and was not found guilty. Now, there are numerous people around him who were found guilty, but not Teflon Steve!


The USA has a Constitution that allows and historically demands a massive expansion of Representation in the House, Senate and Court. We need 6500 House, 1000 Senate Reps, 99 Justices and 1 alternating Chief, with 25 new states.


Whose hate filled platform? Is there proof mods push general threads or curate content? If the "hate" is legit perspectives from the populous then its important. Reddit is highly curated and far more echoey than 4chan. Never seen pro-Jesus/Islam threads on main page of Reddit. 4chan has them all the time on multiple boards.


I think the general curation by some mods is less pushing some agenda, more just enabling the shitposters they're friends with at the cost of genuine discussion.

Least thats what happened with a scene I'm rather involved in, the threads in recent years became nothing but a cesspool of negativity and most people knew who was behind the constant drama. What people didnt expect was the leak revealed one of the mods was among the group constantly causing it.


> Is there proof mods push general threads or curate content?

how does this relate to what i said? i get the "we're a free platform where everyone can do everything and no one is responsible for anything", just a cheap excuse from my POV considering the unhinged, doxxy culture on there. sure, there are cute boards, nice. i am talking about the inhumane, unhinged slurry of shit.

"Sure my neighbour has a couple of cadavres in his cellar, but have you seen the pretty flowers on his balcony?"

but per usual you can't criticize 4chan in the slightest without its warriors appearing to defend it. i get it. 4chan did and does cool stuff. it also does absolutely disgusting things, surprisingly this always gets dismissed as 'it's only the couple of rogue boards which are crazy'.


To say 4chan isn't a cesspit of racism, mysogony, anti-semitism and disgusting content would be a lie. But the same is true for twitter and people buy their blue checkmarks there all the time.


> the same is true for twitter

i agree :)

> people buy their blue checkmarks there all the time

sadly, yes.


In the 3rd world twitter rage baiting is now a career.


weird how all the despicable awful platforms are simply the ones with the least amount of editorial oversight from on high


Not sure on this one, Reddit is arguably the worst place on the internet and has a lot of oversight, is heavily curated. Part of the reason it is so bad in fact. The pendulum just swings the other way compared to X and 4chan.


> Reddit is arguably the worst place on the internet

as someone who left reddit so long ago that they don't remember it and really does not care about it, please tell me what's worse on reddit than the constant xenophobic, transphobic and general *phobic stuff on 4chan.

phobic does not even do it justice, as it just straight up advocates for whole races or genders to kill themselves (b-b-b-but, i-i-it's just a joke, kawaii).


'Hate!? on 4chan!? That's absurd!' /s


>we dont have a word for it yet

I call it 'Orchestratic Development'.

Edit: Seriously, down voted twice when just commenting on an article? God I hate this arrogant shithole.


Check out image boards like 4chan or more localized boards like Kohlchan for Germany. No votes, no accounts


To prevent nuclear war YouTube has now blocked videos related to faraday cages.


Not surprised, but is there a source? I guess hiding your electronics from The Man is subversive.

And front page today, Jeff discovered that media servers are also verboten: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/self-hosting-your-own...

Is someone keeping a list of all the various censorship triggers on YT?


I think this was a joke related to Jeff’s post xD


wtf?


How many jobs we create is a terrible metric for societal progress. How many jobs we destroy is the absolute best. Man doesn't need labor it needs work and work based on need/subsistence is a necessity for capitalist barons and communist pimps.

What have we been struggling for if not freedom from menial routine production - especially in engineering and farming? Jobs are a way to onboard new markets into capitalist systems and to busy idle hands in socialist ones. We should be wary the proponents of job creation and critics of work nullification in equal measure.


How will this not provoke an investigation from the FBI?
