@graf yeah and on top of that he's been in his discord, super fucking paranoid, banning everyone as usual. He's too cracked out to set up Odysee/Rumble (or his brain has never heard of them) since he has a 30 day Twitch ban and a Kick.com ban that's expiring in a few days. Someone's been doing a live odysee stream of his Discord as well.

@jeff So basically either e621 admins do dumb shit again or furry artists have a normal one and put themselves on the e621 DNP list for some reason or another.

The end result is a long ass DNP list that is only missing an embedded autoplay of the Star Wars theme. https://e621.net/help/avoid_posting

@mint Oh I agree, but in this case I'm referring to the internet artist "delete everything" behavior.

But I don't disagree. One of my friends made a good joke that AI is basically "draw art in the style of XYZ before he went crazy".

PurpCat, 1 month ago

@jeff no e621 is known to be a rotting site because so many artists had meltdowns online or wanted to protest e621 jannies by shooting themselves in the foot so a lot of art you could find 5-10 years ago is gone or hosted on obscure sites or buried in some furries HDD under some image hash filename.

@jeff Problem 1 is that you need to scrape an assload of data. Problem 2 is you need to have competent IT skills to do more than just run Windows Update or link computers to AD or hit reset on the servers (which is the most skills most furries have if they're wagies). Problem 3 is you need to keep the damn site open and deal with militant furries leading gayops (this is why the original e621 incarnation which didn't give two shits and a fuck about "artists rights" shut down, it was too high profile and some "drawings have rights" gayopper was making threats and he pussied out and would get a sex change years later).

There's a tor booru but it's missing a lot. There was furry.booru.org which was an e621 rip but it went down because GEE GOLLY WILLICKERS FURRIES CANT KEEP SITES UP. There's the FA archive too and it's popular because furries keep deleting.

@Elliptica James Damore is a good boy who didn't do nothing.

Never forget he was the first to call out LFJ.

PurpCat, 1 month ago

@Elliptica yeah it wasn't in the initial memo but the lawsuit (page 39)
https://www.scribd.com/document/368688363/James-Damore-vs-Google-Class-Action-Lawsuit

PurpCat, 1 month ago

@Elliptica the other person to get involved with LFJ around this time was Josh from KF, after LFJ was being used as a third party to do a different groups bidding by using a google.com email to harass Josh into removing info about a scammy trans suicide hotline that never picked up the phone.

This is the same trick that would lead to the FreeDesktop and Hyprland drama a few weeks ago where Lyude Paul used a redhat email to harass the dev about the code of conduct.

Literally this shit goes all the way back to 2017, but Damore's lawsuit was the first time it was mentioned in the court of law and not a message board.

@Elliptica To add to this, none of the techbros saw what canning people like Brendan would lead to and some of them were way behind on where the wind was blowing inside and out of the bubble. The people who were fine tuned into this shit knew, even Vox Day's SJWs book from the early days of GG (that has aged well in some parts and badly in others IMO, the never apologize part was 100% solid advice) had a section on the aftermath to Mozilla of him being forced out.

Unsurprisingly, Firefox now has fewer people using it than Microsoft Edge especially when you add in mobile numbers, and while there was a decline due to Eich being pushed out, many users were not thrilled with it trying to copy Chrome, the plugin change, the rewrite, the Firefox OS fiasco, and many more things. To add to that, there were a lot of sneaky things Chrome did like being bundled like it was adware with literally fucking everything in the 2010s.

But Firefox now is controlled opposition, funded by Google with a wink and a nod.

@SuperSnekFriend I don't think it's solely SJW shit in this case.

It's also outsourcing, trying to copy apple, chasing money, and many more things. :D

PurpCat, 1 month ago

@SuperSnekFriend On the other hand, the issue with the SJW stuff is it's not always some outsider like Coraline Ada.

It's the people on projects falling for this ideology, in companies, and they just so happen to align with ESG goals. Of course, if they're like LFJ and go too out of line, they'll get sacked. Someone like Lyude Paul worked on freedesktop under the Red Hat payroll before getting a name change. It's harder to can that person than a SRE who can easily be replaced with another, or a readme file editor. That person who might write code that works on Linux might be posting political takes like Richard Stallman's fedi feed, of boomer guardian reposts and Twitter outrage porn of the month.

Which also entirely sidesteps the issue of people like Lennart Poettring shitting up Linux, the laptop bean counters who insist on drilling hinges into plastic and blaming the customer, the state of Windows, among other things.

But if there's one thing you can blame the SJWs and HR for that does directly relate to this IMO, it's keeping the nerds out of tech. It's making the industry for that Andrew Tate tier hustle culture grinder who is only taking the computer courses at college to make a lot of money.

@Elliptica that and the response to CVille was one of the first times many people began to see the tech industry is rotted to it's core with these beliefs.

At least here I sure did and I got to learn how many wannabe techbros (you know, the unemployed types who blindly worship Apple to the point of making their shitty website look like it's an iOS product and dream of making it there and maybe have a few unfinished projects) have these same beliefs too.

PurpCat, 1 month ago

@Elliptica The other thing I learned from this era back when you could still meet interesting people online without having to break past a facade or finding everyone living in a private friends only Discord server was that there were only two opinions in the tech industry. You were either with the left wing stuff, or you were shutting the fuck up and putting up with it to obtain your wagie dollars at your Office Space tier job. There was no in between, period.

What happened to James Damore and many others is a very high profile example of what happened when you spoke out: you'd get sacked and blackballed amongst the Big Tech industry. But if you stayed silent, maybe you'd get a slick job with a fancy title at a no-name company like Honeycomb.io, which pays the bills and maybe you'll even deal with less poz there. Plus, nobody really wants to start their own company.

So there's great pressure to not do what he did. What he did is something most people who aren't autistic like he is would never dare to do. They would just go to the diversity meeting and then go back to grinding away at code. I met a Google employee who on Discord recently was very pissed about his job and the diversity shit he put up with and it's clear it was taking a mental toll on him. But that's part of the point: you either are with them or you're silent. If you're against them, well imagine a techbro trying to work a trade job and put up with the coworkers in that field.

PurpCat, 1 month ago

@Elliptica This is also why you don't see many people pissed about their job going to say James O'Keefe to blow the whistle (some have).

Aside from the fact that anything he does gets memory holed or has media reports saying ITS NAHT TRUUU (if they cover it), with the only sites giving a shit being Infowars and some of the other grifter right wing sites, you're basically sealing your fate as either having to start your own business of some sort (this is what felons have to do because nobody will hire them except the shittiest jobs), or forever having to work low-wage jobs because tech companies won't think they can trust you.

@Tony @RustyCrab @ruin daniel larson is proof that normie internet will allow anything if you don't misgender or say funny racist words.

It's the late stage of Discord tier ironic zoomer sadism, where making a retard do something stupid is the funniest thing ever and the fact they're getting fed visits isn't a shocker because they're finding out, oh this unfunny zoomer coaxed this retard into a bomb threat.

PurpCat, 1 month ago

@Tony @RustyCrab @ruin Put it this way, on the normie internet if you misgender someone: you're gonna get harassed by cabals of LFJ types.

If you absolutely plot to ruin the life of a random low functioning retard who doesn't mean anything he says seriously, yeah who gives a shit. The only reason Chris Chan has no self agency is he flies a certain flag. And of course, mom and dad are absent and they only care if their kids behavior towards retards online affects their grades or if some random retards bully their kid.
