   Maybe putting all the infrastructure of modern society online was a bad idea.

     It’s fine, I’m sure they’ve got things under control. We can trust [checks notes] … Microsoft? Wait what

     Like any serious code review, this one includes a “can we blame DEI” tangent with a weird right wing grifter.

     @thomasfuchs What have things come to, when you can’t get a reliable code review from a weird QAnon anti-vax dude on a decaying social media hellsite run by a Nazi hopped up on ketamine.

     @mcnees There's definitely people without which the world would be a better place.

     @mcnees it's as bad an idea as putting roads outside, where they can get damaged by cars and weather. Why don't people just keep their roads inside where it's safe?

     @mcnees @gvwilson am I wrong to think this is at least in part about the OS, more so than the language? https://x.com/j2bryson/status/1814636656080638373

     @mcnees @gvwilson worth noting that while IMC is obviously a world-famous shitlord, Zach is also a friend of Project Veritas (that is who he delivered his whistleblowing to) and is in the torturous and interminable process of pivoting from “insufferable tech bro” to “alt right grifter” so this interaction wasn’t exactly organic in the first place. Like he is kind of playing the straight man in this skit but it *is* a skit

     @glyph @gvwilson Yes that is exactly right. Besides the Veritas stuff, he was heavily involved in Plandemic and other anti-vax junk.
