IOCCC winner code entry

This IOCCC winner entry (International Obfuscated C Code Contest) made me smile. The code draws the current moon phase to the console.

my main objections are
* closed-source
* anticheat has a history of being exploited for privilege escalation

but I use linux anyway so it's not like i actually experience this. gamers that choose to use windows have already sold their souls so who cares

The intelligent solution is to simply not say anything that's already been said in these situations.

Also I don't consider people who go into replies to copypaste or rephrase the contents of a QRT dunk fully conscious human beings.

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

anyone with experience in privacy/surveillance policy will know that this doesn't really work. all they have to say is "well we can't just tell you because then we're pointing you towards it". Governments have been doing this for years with attacks against privacy in the name of "child safety"

this is part of what pushed me towards more technocratic ideas (rationality, LGBTESCREAL). I still hold mostly progressive positions, but it's really hard to primarily associate with people who hate the work I do as a passion and seemingly have no grasp of what adapting to the future requires.

I get it, but in recent history, "political" (yes i know it makes me roll my eyes too) imprisonments are mainly done by dictators and when the other guys did the holocaust. Realistically we just need the biden-era prosecutions of major figs but actually effective instead of giving up for no reason.

wheres that bot that flags if you have non-default rotation keys, i want the label that says im cooler than other people

tilted my head at this one... why would a plane have a security sticker

"shouldn't people be able to do jobs they love"
no, ideally society's labor is allocated towards what is best for its progression.

I often think of this when people talk about the economic needs of "content creators". Personally, I don't care about whether people can make money as youtubers or tiktokkers or twitch streamers.

something to be said that the top result is a decent provider but the others are sketchy SEO slop (VPN, free VPN) optimized for keyword search

i was watching videos of tea kettles being exploded (don't ask), and i got to this one, and i was mesmerized by whatever the fuck happened here. bro either knocked somebody off a smash bros arena or created a dark fountain using their kettle
