  • It’s also worth noting that technically his username is “andy88” (1011000 is 88 in binary) which while that’s likely his birth year, is still something you would hope someone from Switzerland of all places would recognize it as a Nazi dogwhistle and in poor taste for a username.

    He might be able to hide behind not being familiar with US culture, but he cannot hide behind not being familiar with Nazi culture.

    At a certain point, it stops being just coincidences.




  • You do, especially if its a new game.

    I had seen other comments mentioning the same and had considered mentioning that is out of reach for a lot of people but then didn’t.

    Like my PC is running STALKER 2 great on the lowest settings, but if I had to run it through a VM first I would lose a lot of performance and probably dip below 60fps.

    Most games people want to pirate are brand new so telling them to do something like reformat their (probably only) PC to run baremental Linux with a Windows VM for the game is just silly and unreasonable. At that point you may as well just buy the game if you need a whole extra computer to pirate it safely.

    I couldn’t possibly run brand new games in a VM and I only have one computer that can even play modern games. Silly suggestion.

    I’d look at the instance they’re from. It’s a bitcoin cash hype machine and all the accounts were made on the same day and hyping each other in threads for bitcoincash. It’s literally trivial for an admin to just make a bunch of fake accounts, approve them, and then post with them.

    This post is an attempt to legitimize the instance and the bots spewing hype to pump the coin.

    Just check realbitcoin.cash and see for yourself.


  • Well definitely don’t spin up an instance and make a bunch of fake accounts all with the same cakeday hyping bitcoincash in your threads and then trying to appear legitimate by posting in other forums!

    Definitely don’t do that, and hey everyone else, definitely don’t siteban realbitcoin.cash or defederate from them. That wouldn’t be nice.


    Who the fuck am I kidding, defederate from this obvious scam instance asap everyone please.





  • Zitron knocking it out of the park, as usual.

    I’m glad someone is pointing out that this is who Zuckerberg has always been.

    Facebook literally started as a place to rate whether women on campus were “hot or not.”

    He has always been misogynist heteronormative right-wing scum.

    Also, as I noted elsewhere:

    I also did not like something Newton said at the end of a (paywalled) blog about what he learned from the reaction to his piece about AI skeptics. Newton said, and I quote, that he was “taking detailed notes on all bloggers writing ’financial analyses’ suggesting that OpenAI will go bankrupt soon because it’s not profitable yet.”

    Zitron deserves props for speaking Truth to Power, because I doubt this guy is the only one keeping lists. eBay executives were caught mailing dead animals to critics. Monsanto had an entire Department of Homeland Security styled “Fusion Center” for harassing and de-legitimizing anyone who criticized Monsanto or produced science that made them look bad.

    I’d be way more worried about Musk and Zuckerberg themselves, if I were Zitron, we’re entering a Brave New World here. More power to him, he’s doing the right thing in the face of monsters.
