Remember that time when Torvalds joked about Greg Kroah-Hartman being a huge dude and some crazy harpy absolutely flew off the handle with a rude reply screeching about Torvalds making violent threats, and media pushing that exact narrative even though it was obviously false? Yeah, no attempts at character assasination there, no sir.
That harpy is Sarah Sharp. She's on the board of the Feminist organization who was apparently trying to frame Linus.
You think that's bad? ESR apparently has evidence that a Feminist organization is attempting to frame Linus Torvalds and other open source leaders for sexual assault, presumably to force them out of the community / push some form of gender/diversity quota on Kernel Development. (This all occurred around the same time they started pushing to get those god awful totalitarian Codes of Conduct on various groups and websites.)
One would think that would make the front page, but nope. Went into submission limbo.
why would GamerGate harass a convention right after fighting for the right to speak at it?
That's just what happened, though. A rabble of angry, anti-SJW folks who failed reading comprehension couldn't abide the existence of a panel that they perceived as pro-SJW.
Really? I'd love to see your evidence of this. Please feel free to link it.
Yeah man, it's just about ethics in game journalism.
Except if you read about what actually happened... (A hard concept for someone trapped in tribal politics, but hear me out.)
The GamerGaters got permission to have a panel in response to all this talk about them supposedly being some sort of cross between Hitler and the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons. So right there, that wrecks this "GamerGate harassed the panel into oblivion" -- why would GamerGate harass a convention right after fighting for the right to speak at it?
Also, You'll note that's what's always missing in these discussions -- anything from the POV of the "other side." We're just supposed to accept as fact that GamerGate are evil right wing MRAs that are dedicated to harassing innocent women online and keeping gaming "pure."
We're definitely not supposed to ask for evidence of this supposed harassment or actually ask the GamerGaters what their take on all this is or ask any of the dozens of POC or Women in GamerGate for their view on things (or even acknowledge they exist).
Nope, some con artists pretending to be victimized feminists like Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian said GamerGate is bad and by god, our entire critical thinking processes shut down the second that happens -- to the point that they're requesting that the UN force the US to censor the entire internet to prevent people from making fun of them when they say or do something stupid.
Listen and Believe.
In reality we've seen this happen at multiple GamerGate meetups, including the one the Society of Professional Journalists was putting on -- if GamerGate is being allowed to speak, these psychotic faux social justice sociopaths call in bomb threats, harass the venue, try to blackmail people into silencing them, et cetera. The one thing that can get one of these lazy entitled pink haired twits to actually get off of Twitter and Tumblr and DO something is seeing GamerGate possibly be allowed to speak someplace.
So here's the question that you should be asking if you still have your critical reasoning skills: Why?
If GamerGate is some sort of reactionary far right hate mob then why not let them speak and prove that they're some kind of group of monsters? Why call in up to 10 bomb threats at a single venue just to silence them? Is the mere fact that some supposed trollish conservative neckbeard dudebros speaking THAT dangerous to society at large? These Social Justice troll types don't go around threatening the Westboro guys with bomb threats, or try to get the GOP convention shut down for "regressive anti-trans opinions," so it's obviously not about Social Justice.
Could it possibly be that the reason they don't want GamerGate to speak is that the bullshit story they keep feeding people -- that GamerGate is supposedly a group of white male nerds who hate women -- has absolutely nothing to do with reality? That there's an incredible amount of money to be made in being a professional victim (read: con artist) but that relies on you making absolutely certain the boogieman you have helped create remains some sort of amorphous source of dread and is never, ever allowed to defend themselves?
911 procedure is fairly standard. Our callcenter has ~5 entrances and they need to know which one to go do. Plus we have a squad of ~30 people trained in first aid working.
Randy Harper's blacklist, [leagueforgamers.com] an list of white men, gamers, nerds, conservatives, KFC,... and other people Randy Harper and her radical feminist friends consider too "problematic"
How do I get on this wonderful list?
1. Be on Twitter. 2. Disagree with a Radical Third Wave Victim Feminist on any topic. Suggesting that women should get jobs based on their merits and not receive special treatment for having a vagina is an easy way, following a conservative news site's twitter or Totalbiscuit's (an extremely influential Youtube reviewer with a few million subscribers; he made the mistake of mocking Otherkin once) twitter is another. Or just say something that Randi "You made your bed now get fucked in it" Harper doesn't like, for example "I would need to see some evidence of that claim."
So she's a social justice warrior troll doing this for attention? Called it earlier.
Expect her to have a Patreon account up within a few days, as well as a campaign started explaining why Linus is problematic and needs to be removed from Linux development soon, or how Linux needs a safe space special interest group so feminist coders can submit their commits without being threatened by people pointing out their code sucks. Because remember kids, criticism is "Cyber Violence."
(If you're blocked and have never even spoken with her, congratulations, you're a member of Randy Harper's blacklist, an list of white men, gamers, nerds, conservatives, KFC, President Obama, and other people Randy Harper and her radical feminist friends consider too "problematic" to be allowed to communicate with people in the tech industry.)
Third Wave (Professional Victim) Feminist, with posts pushing the lie about the gender gap (there are more women than men getting STEM degrees now), and a post about the "Donglegate" lynch mob, wherein a professional outrage mob was directed by professional victim and gender identity con artist Adria Richards to shame and destroy the lives of two men making a joke about forking and dongles, suggesting that hearing a joke you disagree with is equivalent to being physically attacked.
In short: She might be a gifted programmer, but she's a weak willed human being, and her having a professional freakout about Linus making a joke about being intimidating isn't surprising -- it's a calculated maneuver. Expect something else to come up soon -- as mentioned, Linus will be deemed too problematic to be allowed to remain in Linux, or the Professional Victims will demand special treatment for Women in Linux Development.
Can we get a cleanup on this summary please, from someone who actually passed high school English class?
The short version: someone served up malicious javascript on 8chan by hosting it on imgur as images, revealing that imgur does not actually check to make sure its images are images. Some Flash on 8chan loads the javascript from the localstorage object, breaking same-origin. Once again the DOM is proven to be a horrible house of cards.
Also, the DDoS was at the very least also targeted at 8ch. There was a pretty big teardown of it -- someone registered a similar name to 4ch's image host, the malware SWF specifically mentions the founder of 8ch and something that sounds like it's related to/pol/, the server hosting up the malware was replying to specific referrers and IP addresses, etc etc.
The real welfare queens in our society are employers, and always have been.
"Welfare" refers to receiving government money for no work.
When employers "expect" you to commute to work "for free", that's not "welfare"; it's the contract you negotiated with your employer. If you don't like the conditions or the salary, don't take the contract. You are a legally competent adult, aren't you? And you do think that your work is valuable?
And when society has to pick up the slack in government benefits for the employees of employers cutting costs like this, constantly? What then?
Does anyone who's not a complete ideological nutball really think that if, for the sake of argument, Lesbians of Color Against Bernie Sanders, had somehow created their own slate and organized, Puppy-style, enough bad faith voting that ALL the ballot options were leftish and there were no right wing books to be had, that the reaction by Hugo voters would have been any different whatsoever?
Hugo voters voted the way they did for two reasons. They were aware two third parties with broadly similar, albeit to different extremes, had gamed the selection, and were pissed about it. And they had to choose between a second rate selection of works selected not by merit, but by political ideology.
\
You know, that might make sense, except that the Hugos were already being fixed, before this, by a group of hard left exclusionary TERFs headed up by two TOR employees.
And don't talk to me about "second rate selection" of Scifi when drivel like ""If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love" or "Queers Dig Time Lords" was getting nominated.
Everyone likes to pretend that the Sad Puppies are a bunch of right wing trolls that just showed up and said "nice award, we're gonna fuck it up to spite you overly progressive scifi fans." In reality it was far closer to "nice award, but why are only people in the far left SJW clique being allowed to even be nominated?"
That's the takeaway I hope at least some people get here. The Hugos were being fixed by a whisper campaign for years. The Sad Puppies just brought the whisper campaigns into the open and proved they existed.
"Entertaining" isn't a valid criteria to judge my entertainment on?
According to the demagogues the Sad Puppies and Gamergate are fighting, no. All media, especially entertainment, must have moral and social value beyond just being fun.
Incorrect. Beale (aka Vox Day) isn't in charge of Sad Puppies. Brad R Torgersen is. Vox Day is some bogeyman people keep trotting out to scare little kids and pink haired manchildren on Tumblr.
Here's the thing. The Hugos aren't a "progressive" award -- or rather, they're not supposed to be. They're supposed to be a literary award. That's the entire point of the Sad Puppies and Vox Day's Rabid Puppies -- that a group of people are pushing political litmus tests on this award behind the scenes.
And for all the frothing rage and smug cuntyness that we'll see over the next few days, here's the sad thing: The Sad Puppies were absolutely right.
The Sad Puppies won. Yes, they didn't win a single award -- in fact, some really good works lost to No Award, seemingly just to spite them.
But that was the point.
Their stated goal was to prove that there was a group of people out there voting for political reasons and fixing the Hugos. To fight this, they did the unforgivable sin of nominating some good works (such as one of the Dresden Files novels) for a Hugo.
The CHORF / SJWs fell for it en mass, just as George R R Martin begged them not to (archive version) back in April. They proved the Sad Puppies point -- that the Hugos are fixed by a group of gatekeepers.
The Hugos have been fixed for years, to the point that Steven King outright refused to participate due to how bad it became. The CHORFs proved the Sad Puppies' point more than anything else could. The Hugos have been forever tarnished by this -- not by the Sad Puppies voting in the "wrong way" for the "wrong type of fans", but by the CHORFs decreeing that you have to have the right politics, the right thoughts, the right opinions, to be a "real fan" or a "real hugo winner."
This is also why every time some poor idiot pulls out the "($Unskilled_Profession) wants $15 an hour? I'm ($Skilled_Profession) and I don't even make that!" argument a Walmart heir's nipples tingle. Because the minimum wage being so low doesn't just hurt the working class, it artificially forces all wages down -- in short, your wage is supposed to be much higher too, but it isn't because they're getting away with paying Burger Flippers slave wages.
Depending on if you're checking increased productivity, inflation, or both, the Minimum wage in the US should be either $11 or $15 an hour, if not higher. Since it's still $7.25 that means that money went somewhere other than the workers of America who earned it.
Thus the question isn't "Does a burger flipper deserve as much as me," it's "Does a Walmart Heir deserve the $7 an hour extra they're not paying each of their workers?" (Spoiler alert: No.)
Anecdotal evidence here, mind you, but I've had a few instances of running out of memory with Windows 10 and running a lot of things at the same time. Specifically, modded Minecraft (Pathfinder pack on the Curse Launcher) + Chrome, with the random IM programs I always keep open (Pidgin, Trillian, Hexchat IRC, and Skype).
It seems like a lot but I never had ram issues in Windows 8.1. Take that what you will. I personally plan on tossing another 8 gigs in when I have a chance.
Anyone who uses littlegreenfootballs for anything but mocking or even as a credible source, should be applying the moron label to themselves. Especially after the mass purging for thought-crimes.
You mean when he threw out all the white supremacists like Pamela Geller?
Herald the guy who saved babies from being killed as a hero, while simultaneously saying its no big deal that planned parenthood is trafficking baby parts after they rip them out of its mother's womb.
You're a fucking moron, and so is anyone else stupid enough to believe that hoax.
And no, I can't say that any nicer. Anyone who believes planned parenthood is selling baby parts or that they're "ripping them out" is a fucking idiot who needs to have their brain taken away by social services.
Didn't Brother do one of these printers a good long while ago? I heard about it years back.
In addition, aren't mods for Epson printers to use these systems pretty common? They're called something like Continuous ink mods or somesuch?
(Ninja edit: Yeah, I found the old Cool Tools article talking about it. Apparently a company called Cobra Ink Systems will take a new Epson printer and retrofit it with a Continuous Ink System for you.)
Seems that Epson is just trying to follow the grey market.
I quit my job when I married my husband, and followed him to Boston. I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to pursue a graduate degree or start my own company.
Ms. Wu, right there you already have vastly more privilege than many trans women I know and a lot of guys I know, too. How dare you speak of privilege? How dare you take these things for granted?
Wu and her ilk will NEVER accept class privilege as being real, or at least give it the weight it deserves -- Because the vast majority of these Social Justice Warrior trolls like Wu are coming from extremely entitled backgrounds and have no freaking clue about the realities of what they're spouting off.
She got $200k to start -- and run into the ground -- an Animation studio by her "millionaire entrepreneurs" parents. But she wants you to believe her experiences dealing with evil "cis privilege" or whatever made up identity politics bullshit she's spouting this week is far more important.
Unhinged fools who need to get off of Twitter and Tumblr once in a while, the lot of them.

Learned a bit more about Brianna today, cool (I guess).
Unfortunately, her logic:
(Neutral in the Gamergate argument) == (You Support Rape and Death Threats etc..)
Doesn't sit well for my respect of her and became a bit of a stigma.
There is nothing an extremist hates more than a moderate.
Remember when Brianna Wu did this:
http://i.imgur.com/zlEkMPQ.png
She's only known because of GamerGate, despite what she says.
She's still doing it:
https://archive.is/RHWfR
At least she knows what she's doing. She makes over $3000 a month trolling people on twitter then crying when people point out that she's an idiot.
I quit my job when I married my husband, and followed him to Boston. I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to pursue a graduate degree or start my own company.
