It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The replies are hilarious michael-laugh, so many blue checks saying "abandon big tech!" while they pay for Twitter from the richest fascist in the world.

Wokeism has really gone too far when when microsoft is pushing the metric system

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 41 points 11 months ago (24 children)

IMO it should mark imperial in red as totally incorrect.

Imagine being one of the wealthiest people on the planet but so desperate to feel oppressed that you do performative outrage over an app's in-built editor giving you conversion notes for commonly used systems of measurement.

[–] envis10n@hexbear.net 28 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I would be willing to bet metric is the most widely used system of measurement lol what a fucking dork

These blue checks saying they want to abandon big tech are in for a rude awakening when they realize people like me are more common in the open source community.

Unless they want to create Parlor OS and expose their data and lack of opsec to trans hackers again. I'm all for that.

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 43 points 11 months ago (7 children)

I would love to see a chud attempt at an OS

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They already did: TempleOS.

Ironically that's Windows

Scheduling processes to balance out their CPU usage sounds too much like communism, so instead the processes using the most resources will be given an even bigger share, so they can use it to create jobs.

Several worms come pre-installed, because the best way to overcome viruses is through herd immunity.

Parent processes will not be able to terminate child processes, because life begins at execution.

There is only HTTP and not HTTPS to make sure you can't visit any un-Christian websites in secret.

Multithreading sounds too much like multiculturalism, so it is not supported.

Only ASCII characters are supported, so the computer can't communicate with China and give them our secrets.

Only available on CISC architectures, to make sure it can't be infected by the trans agenda.

I’m imagining an autocorrect from neutral pronouns to him or her etc. and the havoc it would reap on language.

"My friends are ready, they are headed to the movie theaters." -> "My friends are ready, him are headed to the movie theaters."

Hope they have fun trying to deal with the sometimes ambiguous nature of English. 😆

now scolds you

Scolds? Manbaby overreacting as usual... I don't see Clippy popping up on the screen and telling you you're a moron for not using inclusive language.

But now that I think about it, I wish it did that.

if any comrades happen to work at ms this is your chance to sneak comrade clippy past the goalie

They should honestly be embarrassed when even porky is telling them that they need to brush up on their good manners.

porky-happy: "Well gee Mr., you don't have to be so mean all the time!"

frothingfash: "BUT AH DUHN WANNA BE NICE! IT'S NOT KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWL!"

Are you tired of using gay liberal software products like Microsoft Word? Do you want to stand up and fight for your right to free speech? Try God’s Word now and fight back against the woke agenda, where we are 100% certified to find you the right slurs to use for a Twitter argument

mfer is out here selling electric cars with batteries in kWh and getting people to launch rockets and he's going to complain about the metric system. In before he demands his engineers build rockets in slugs per furlong or some nonsense like that.

Is... Is Elon writing copy for the Cyber Truck himself??

[–] CDommunist@hexbear.net 46 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The dumb, bad writing of "Also, insane stability" makes me think it's him

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

sane stability would be nice

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

I doubt he even wrote this stupid copy. It's probably a final review or whatever.

[–] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 41 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Woah imagine being able to ignore a suggestion

That would be so fucking wild, if it were possible

Normies can't handle a basic, polite disagreement without them screeching that they were reminded that they're assholes. I don't get it, if they revel in being pure evil, and they so much as get told that they're not very nice. Why do they take issue with being reminded of a quality they're proud of?

Sure, I don't expect the average person to be much of a thinker, but still.

We're dangerously close to him saying he uses Linux to avoid big tech's woke grasp on the world.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I don't think Torvalds is actually a communist but I think this article alone is enough for Musk fans to lose their minds before switching to Linux. What if they move to apple? data-laughing

The post that the headline originates from is even funnier, could have chosen a better word rather than using "moron" though che-smile

Does he want to sell outside the US? Better get used to metric.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That cybertruck is basically illegal anywhere but the US.

And he grew up in South Africa, the imperial system should be the one he's not used to.

I'm really glad elon's solution to "big woke tech" seems to be just buying (twitter) or cloning (chatgpt) it, not directing people to open source or whatever because we do NOT need any more fucking chuds in the FOSS world. I feel like the tide has only really started to turn in the past 5 years

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

Imperialists mad at metric chads

[–] the_kid@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago

[–] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Word’s metric conversion does kinda suck though. It should probably say “about 5 tonnes”.

[–] Anamorphosis@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, that's classic false precision. 11,000 pounds has 2 significant figures, so if you convert, you can't pull all that extra precision out of your ass, you have to round to what the original measurement provided. Either 5000kg or 5 tonnes would be an acceptable conversion.

Of course Elmo probably has no idea how any of that works and isn't thinking past "metric = not murican = woke".

Elon Musk, I am BEGGING you to buy Microsoft and teach these WOKE COMMUNIST LIBERALS how to design a suite of office productivity software which unleashes our true potential for freedom and prosperity.

Do you all hate the metric system or do you just hate base 10?

Count to el & reflect on this.
