Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

This shitshow brought all the tankies to the yard in lobste.rs too:

I especially like the dude relitigating the Continuation War from the orthodox Russian historiographical position that the Second World War started on 22 Jun 1941:

Edit I wondered about the curious term "genocide-siege" and lo and behold, reading the Wiki page on the Siege I found this nugget

On 18 March 2024, the Russian foreign ministry issued a statement via TASS to the German foreign ministry saying that the siege of Leningrad was a genocide.

What does it take to cross the line of incendiary geopolitics in this thread?

I actually recently made a little script to preserve the nuggets of ~~wisdom~~shit produced by the esteemed commentariat and then either deleted by them in shame or purged in righteous mod fury.

The deleted comment is this:

There are a lot russians who don’t support Russian aggression. Discrimination based on a trait people are born with, be it skin color or nationality, is racism. Linus is racist.

Can they also ban Israeli settlers from contributing to Linux or is that inconvenient for mossad agents to back door linux?
