Perhaps it’s because they shit awful code, with more bugs than my house this summer? And even when the code doesn’t malfunction in an obvious way, it’s harder to decode it than my drunk ramblings?
Naaaaaaaaah, that’s just prejudice. /s

Europeans being casually xenophobic about immigrants in The Americas and the dishes they bring from home, thus proving this new community’s point.
No shit. Orange chicken was invented by a Chinese-American chef in Hawaii. Chicken alfredo was invented in the US by combining the Italian dish fettuccine al burro with cream and chicken. And breakfast tacos were an adaptation of a Mexican dish tacos de guisados, except Texans used eggs, instead of yesterday’s stewed leftovers. (Also, I’m not sure the OP and community admin even gets the point.)
American is not just a single culture, it’s a melting pot of a bunch of different cultures. Same goes for Canada, just with a different mix of dominant cultures. American food is a reflection of that, sometimes remixing the idea so much that it turns into something else. Cajun food wouldn’t exist without a mixture of French and American influences.
America may be constantly battling racism and xenophobia internally, but we recognize it for what it is: a shit behavior that should should be excised. European and Eastern cultures like Japan are so casually racist and xenophobic that they don’t even recognize it in themselves.
The Axis powers came to be out of a combination of elements, but xenophobia was the biggest one. Germany got their shit together in the end, after brutal period of being forcefully separated themselves, and a period of self-reflection. Italy and Japan? Yeah, not so much.
So, to the OP: I hope your new community isn’t yet another outlet to be racist.

It had Ice Cube, and I can’t, for the life of me, understand why the fuck people keep giving that man work.
Ghost of Mars, that horrible XXX sequel, War of the Worlds, shit… they are remaking Anaconda? That’s going to suck, too.
- Comment on Linux Gaming Developers Join Forces To Form the Open Gaming Collective 2 weeks ago:
They are a billion dollar company because they made decisions like these over the last several decades. They could have gone the easy route and make decisions that fuck over the consumer, and make billions of dollars in more insidious ways, but they didn’t.
Steam Deck and their commitment to Proton are the reason why we can even have a conversation like this, talking about the rise of Linux Gaming in the year of our lord 2026. Without those two components, we would still be talking about how Windows 11 is fucking us over (while still using it), how nobody likes to switch to Linux because they still want to play games, how the whole “Year of the Linux Desktop” is the same tired fucking joke it’s been for the last 30 years.
Instead, we’re in the timeline where we have enough Linux gaming developers to form their own fucking collective! Because of Valve!

I mean, 96.5% of email was spam a decade or two ago, so this is nothing new, AI or not. Hackers and other blackhats are just shifting targets.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 3 weeks ago:
it’s a government agency enforcing immigration law, not goose-stepping brownshirts.
“Enforcing immigration law” = Deporting anybody they think looks too brown
And yes, they are goose-stepping brownshirts, or at least they wish they were.

- Comment on How AI broke the smart home in 2025 1 month ago:
Yeah, Home Assistant is the way to go, but it’s been a slow progression because every company is more interested in proprietary lock-in than trying to push for standards like Z-Wave. It’s cloud-based bullshit everywhere, which is exactly the wrong kind of thing for in-home privacy. There needs to be a better push for standard APIs and internal wireless protocols.
This shit should be fucking easy. HVAC systems are still wired like it’s the 1930s, and all it takes is one company to just swoop in and create an all-in-one solution that uses standards and monitors inside/outdoor/room temps, humidity, occupancy, etc. It could control smart vents to close off rooms that aren’t in use, turn on humidity systems when it’s too low and isn’t too cold outside, hook into other rules from HA.
Doing the right thing could earn them millions, but nobody wants to bother actually doing it.

Oklahoma… can’t imagine a redder state. That place is a lost cause. I don’t envy anybody who lives there, and has to put up with the politics and corruption.

The gameplay mechanic can be a bit trolly at times, purposely trying to trick you very often, but I had a lot of fun with this game. It just has a vibe that works a lot better than the jump scare bullshit horror games you find elsewhere.
- Comment on The Lessons of SOMA Are Timeless 1 month ago:
A while back, I told myself that I wasn’t going to watch any YouTube video over an hour. But sometimes, really good YouTubers that I respected ended up putting out great two-hour material, like Folding Ideas or RLM or Grimbeard, and I just ended up watching these things, anyway. I might watch it for an hour, switch over to something else, and then watch the rest later. I just did that with the RLM Christmas video they just put out a few hours ago. It’s a hell of a lot better than the fleeting TikTok garbage that is geared towards maximum overstimulation and minimum education.
But, I also watch a lot of YouTube. And I still have my limits. I don’t understand these videos that go up to 5-6 hours. That’s just a lack of restraint in the editing department in my opinion.
