10000 line file with no comments is honestly relatable as someone who took a job and had to wade through code like that

My nightmare source was only a few lines less, and it actually was commented. But in French. Label names were also dereived from French. The original author was dead, and Google translate was not yet a thing.

I've seen code where all the comments were simply URL references to tickets on a now deleted Trello board. Great, real helpful thanks.

Is q-anon Elon Musk? What? I'm just asking questions.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 days ago

You should check out the HBO documentary on Qanon. It's fantastic. Essentially, no. However, I don't doubt for a second that Elon didn't try to co-opt it at some point.

What happened to that shit? I hate how something like that can emerge, take hold, push people into conspiracies and the right, literally destroy families, then go away and nobody cares

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

furthermore, it's reinterpreted as a false flag or something that never really happened - there is never accountability

ContraPoints did an excellent video on conspiracy theories recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teqkK0RLNkI

Apparently Elon Musk is mentioned quite frequently in these leaks, but take this with a sea of salt as there is no way to independently verify: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/search/tripcode/%21SATANZ0Gpo/page/3/

https://www.reddit.com/r/LeaksAndRumors/comments/1jzqr8c/elon_musks_alleged_unverified_4chan_account/ (archive) summarizes these posts

As much as I hate Elmo, I still value truth more. There is 0 evidence he's behind that account. And given that the account claims to own Twitter (= claims to be Elmo), it's far more likely to be a troll than a secret-but-not-secret account by the richest fuckface in the world

Ah, the mysterious hacker known as 4chan.

I never liked 4Chan even when /b was the big thing and not the /pol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh god /pol/ is the hot spot now? I can only imagine the cess pit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

/b/ is just logspammers and porn now.

And the 15 min wait to post anything has noticeably slowed down any sort of discussion. Posts on /b/ can last for up to a week now because of it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

That actually sounds like it might be an improvement..

Maybe they could do the world a favour and delete it - along with the backups.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

backups were always against the spirit of 4chan
