Neighbor probably got a phone call from the Pentagon saying that he was going to get spitroasted by CIA BWCs if he actually tried to pull a coup in a country crawling with US military personnel in 2024.

From The Verge

Reddit is giving its staff a lot more power over the communities on its platform. Starting today, Reddit moderators will not be able to change if their subreddit is public or private without first submitting a request to a Reddit admin. The policy applies to adjusting all community types, meaning moderators will have to request to make a switch from safe for work to not safe for work, too.

By requiring admin approval for the changes, Reddit is taking away a lever many communities used to protest the company's API pricing changes last year. By going private, the community becomes inaccessible to the public, making the platform less usable for the average visitor. And that's part of the reason behind the change.

How can we turn this to our own advantage?

Like I wonder what we can do to make this whole approval system a shit show.

If you can't beat them, then overdose them on what they want.

The promised 24 hour SLA seems like a target. A sort of DDOS attack of requests. But there's no accountability for them if they don't meet it.

I was imagining simple hacks like mods creating a new sub as a mirror for all posts to the original sub, and making the new sub private / NSFW from the start. Gets around the new Reddit rules, but accomplishes the same as a blackout. Requires coordinated mod action, but we've already shown that's possible.

I've worked a lot in trust and safety and half of the fun is gaming out the areas where structures can be abused or gotten around.

"The ability to instantly change Community Type settings has been used to break the platform and violate our rules,"

What rules does it break?

The golden rule: that it only exists to make money and benefit itself

I get the feeling they're going to keep "fixing" the site until *it becomes trash and cause a mass exodus of users like Digg and Tumblr did.

Eat shit, Spez.

It's Go_JasonWaterfalls now.

Every year Reddit turns more and more into a platform solely for moderators to press their various political agendas.

This is, of course, a response to the Blackout protests back in Spring of 2023 due to Reddit deciding to charge for API access and killing off a bunch of Apps

The ongoing and increasingly weird Reddit blackout, explained

Hey you, the person reading this, you can ping engineers or ifls on this thread (if you feel like it)

CliffsNotes:

• Oceangate experimented with a full-carbon hull for their submersible, but the hemisphere endcaps would cave in on the models hence the switch to titanium for the final design

• The carbon fiber was selected as a cost-cutting material in an effort to make the submersible as light as possible. That in turn was done to save cost on the support ship required to deploy the submersible, as this was intended to become a commercial operation at some point, with submersible expeditions being sold as tours for the general public

• Carbon fiber is not on the list of approved materials for the fabrication of human-rated pressure hulls. This is not due to any of its intrinsic properties, but rather due to lack of testing of such vessels.

• It is a well known fact that carbon fiber is capable of supporting tensile stress but does not manage compressive stress as well, hence its unsuitability as a material for submersibles. This fact was parroted here a lot by resident subject matter experts . However, the testifying engineer believes this to not be an issue as the same was said about acrylic plastics, which were initially met with strong skepticism but are now one of the officially approved materials for construction of human-rated pressure vessels. He believes that none of the carbon fiber's downsides are complete deal-breakers and a solution could have been developed that would allow for its eventual implementation. He backs his point by presenting various different composite submersibles, including the chinese Petrel-X that is rated for 10000m depth. He believes that composite materials provide several advantages over traditional ones (like corrosion resistance) and that with enough development and testing carbon fiber could be deployed as a material for pressure vessels, with the issue being that Oceangate did not invest nearly enough in research of this material to justify using it.

• Speaking of acrylic, the acrylic window used on the Oceangate vessel was rated only up to a 1000m dive depth, as compared to the nearly 4000m at which Titanic sits. It is a miracle that it hadn't failed, which we know it likely didn't due to analysis of wreckage (see last post)

• The reason the window wasn't rated to the correct depth is due to the fact that instead of going for a concave inner surface, like the industry standard, Oceangate instead opted for a filled hemisphere-like shape, with a flat inner surface, with the reasoning being that a concave window would cause lensing and make close-up objects appear further away, which they wanted to avoid for the sake of satisfying the potential customers.

• Some information regarding the manufacture process was revealed:

• Oceangate had previously constructed 2 prototype vessels, both of which failed, by layering the carbon-fiber sheets only radially. The final design included perpendicular carbon-fiber sheets, which were aligned both radially and longitudinally. It is also revealed that their consultant, Boeing (lmao ) suggested a carbon-fiber sheet to be layered at 45 degrees to radial, but this wasn't done in the final vessel likely due to the difficulty of manufacturing it.

• It is also noted that during the construction of the hull, they would notice occasional wrinkling of the carbon fiber in certain spots, which would only accumulate with each subsequent passing and result in a non-smooth cylindrical shape by the end. To combat this, they decided to split the entire 5-inch thick hull into 5 1-inch thick concentric cylinders, each of which would be ground and smoothed at the end to remove said wrinkles and provide a smooth surface for the next layer. The layers would be then held together by some sort of surface-roughener and industrial adhesive. One might imagine that grinding at carbon fiber would compromise its strength, and it is interesting that after taking cross-sections of the 5 different layers and counting the amount of wrinkling sites, they didn't observe any reduction of them and in fact each consecutive layer had more wrinkles than the last, the only difference being that they were invisible from the outside now.

• Analysis of the wreckage shows that the hull did fail along the inter-layer seems, though not all layers disjoined in this way, which could either be random chance or an indication that some of the layers were glued together better than others. Similarly there are no signs of carbon-fiber films themselves tearing within each individual layer, which demonstrates that the resin cure which was used between the carbon-fiber sheets held way better than the adhesive which they used to join the bigger layers together

• Similarly by analyzing the recovered hull fragments the researchers noted that the imperfect cylindrical shape of the carbon-fiber layers translated into uneven coatings of interlayer adhesive, where some regions would have a lot of adhesive and others would have practically none. In addition to that they also noticed microscopic longitudinal rub marks in between layers and deposits of crushed, powdered glue that would accumulate in some of the voids between the layers. This indicates motion between the different layers which is very very bad as you want the vessel to act as a single solid structure in order to withstand the outside pressure, instead of having these individual sliding layers.

• Cross-section analysis of the individual layers also revealed small voids and cavities between the carbon-fiber sheets. Whether this is in any way significant to structural integrity of the bulk material is unknown either to me or the video author.

• The frontal metal end-ring which connected the titanium hemisphere to the carbon-fiber hull and was suspected to be the source of initial failure was recovered and analyzed. The suspicions were largely confirmed as inspection of the gluing site which held the ring to the carbon-fiber showed that the glue was peeled right off the metal ring and mostly remained on the carbon-fiber part. (gluing the parts is apparently a industry-standard practice, for more info see last thread). This indicates that the glue-metal interface was likely the source of initial failure. Moreover the video author proposes to narrow it down to the bottom section of the glue-metal interface on the metal end-ring, as that is the segment where the carbon fiber hull was absolutely shredded and no larger pieces remain, as opposed to the upper side where large pieces had stratified into the individual layers discussed above. In his opinion it is the shear motion of the layers around that point which could have destabilized the hull and caused it to be shredded.

The Real-Time Alert System Truth Nuke:

The alert system on the vessel consisted of acoustic sensors mounted around the hull, which would listen for the sounds of shit breaking and record the data for later analysis, and tension sensors, also mounted around the hull, which would measure the tension or compression that the hull underwent and similarly record the data for later. It also seems that not all of the sonic sensors were functioning, but somehow this isn't even the crazy part.

Now, on dive 80, at around 15:30 (shown on graph), during resurfacing the sensors recorder a loud-butt crash. It was so loud that the passengers heard it, it was so loud that potentially the surface crew might have heard it. It was dismissed by Stockton as the carbon hull setting into the metal ring, something unrelated to the structural integrity. But looking at the tension sensor readings at the same time shows a big jump, indicating that the hull had been rapidly deformed.

Looking at the tension sensor readings for subsequent dive 81 (red) and comparing it to previous dive 80 (blue) shows that the vessel behaves differently at the beginning of the dive, indicating that after this bang the hull now has a different deformation mode. And this mode of deformation is localized to the forward-bottom-left area of the carbon fiber, that sits right against the metal end-ring discussed earlier. This behaviour persisted for the following dives as well.

So basically the warning system worked as intended, giving them all the information needed to see that something is going wrong with the vessel, but Stockton chose to ignore it.

The dive 80 happened back in 2022, and since then the submarine was transported, left outside in the weather, fallen off the tow-boat, and dove several more times, all likely worsening its condition, and one engineer even expressed concerns with the matter in which it was lifted by crane, arguing that it wasn't designed for the kind of tension it experiences when being hooked from above and left to dangle.

The TL;DR is that it was literally all willful negligence and they could've stopped and re-evaluated this thing at literally any point right up to the day it sank, but chose not to. What a horrid way to go

It's time for a paradigm shift in gayming.

We've cracked the code for what actual human beings (not yearly FIFA consoomers) really want in video games.

HOT SEXY ANTHRO CHARACTERS

(and nostalgia)

Exhibit 1 : Pseudoregalia

Great platformer, pixelshit aesthetic. 12k reviews on Steam, "Overwhelmingly Positive" with 97% positive reviews.

People love the platforming. Haven't played it yet, but bought it.

Character is a bottomless THIGHS goat, has 1k art on e621

Currently on sale (-20%) at $4.79

Exhibit 2: Atlyss

Action RPG, pixelshit aesthetic, IN EARLY ACCESS!! . 9k reviews already on Steam, "Overwhelmingly Positive" with 97% positive reviews once again.

It plays good. Don't have enough RPG experience to delve deep into it but I like it.

One of the main focus are the multiple races (imp/furry/kobold/bird/rrat) and CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION SLIDERS, including the fabled THIGH, BUTT and most importantly BELLY sliders.

By maxing these (or more with mods) you end up with shortstacks made for human peepee.

Also main overworld characters are sexo

Oh, and did I mention it's MULTIPLAYER? I'm not gay enough to go into one of these lobbies but be warned.

Unfortunately, our jewish overlords made the dev remove the bulge slider, which is a tremendous hit to shortstack femboy lovers worldwide.

Also, already ~600 art on e621

Currently on sale (-40%) at $5.99. Free demo (older build) to try it out here on itch io

Forbidden exhibit : Axyn Adventure

Let's just go full r-slur.

What if Pseudoregalia but with a power bottom femboy slut? And s*x scenes?

As mentioned, the main character bottoms. Some people may love that but I'd prefer the opposite.

You can play naked. He has a bigger butt than Sybil from Pseudoregalia somehow.

Warning - gaysex video : https://files.catbox.moe/ua4krv.webm @AltAccountOkapi

Only the demo is available (get it on itch io here), but it's already making rounds on /v/.

Feel free to add more furry coomer games, I know I missed a lot of them, but these bangers stuck out as "recent random kinda polished game but with hot furries and obvious coombait".

Merry christmas

Copetext:

This game is faithful to its title, it is so Unknown, to the extent that not even the most rent-free G*merGater chuds and KotakuinAutism spergs have cared about it until just a few days ago, it does not even has a fricking Wikipedia page, and as of 19 October 2024, the only 4chan /v/ thread making fun of it that I was able to find was quickly deleted by the Jannisaries for some reason!

Bandai Namco's latest 'sweet baby' game, Unknown 9: Awakening, drops in 5 days and seems like another Concord flop.

There’s almost no online interaction, pre-orders are unclear, and the only Steam comment asks why they're making ugly women. Are you excited? 💀😆 pic.twitter.com/Ezk4E1RBb2

@MARFAN_EATS_DOODOO on this very website summarized it as:

The website is just a bunch of random stills with vague lines about the story and universe and then a section about the actress, whose most notable appearance is from that Witcher TV series. And she visibly looks better irl than in game for some reason.

Edit: Holy shit it has an audiobook, a comic, and 2 novels out already, one of them came out 4 years ago:

https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Book-One-Trilogy/dp/1999229703

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1999229797

https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/unknown9/en/products/comics/torment/

https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/unknown9/en/products/podcasts/out-of-sight/

And all of this was done as "worldbuilding" for this game. Which seems like it's going to flop hard without anybody knowing.

this is the realest greentext in existence. i would bet physical AND digital currency that this story 100% actually happened exactly as described. anyway im back hi

Singer said some typical supportive stuff that included the phrase: "They will never take trans joy away". Joyless seething ensues.

Who the frick cares about "trans joy" or how it's really scary for you heccin vxlid guys right now. We have fricking nobody and nothing. No hate to chapppell personally, I just hate this stupid bullshit that this class of person is circulating. So out of their depth here. And maybe I'm just harping on the easy target because I can't do anything about the real problem, but it's still annoying.

It's designed and screened to satisfy her dipshit audience, which has no relevance to our community's well being as they are insta warriors

I love trans joy it's so fricking valid girlie

I'm so glad I get to be a ! everyone hates me just for existing, I get to lose out on my childhood, end up infertile and hate myself forever. what joy!

couldn't be me. i hate her. she knows she has a huge platform and the safety net of being cis so she just parrots useless optimism. no one is looking out for us, especially not the fricking pop music industry

i do appreciate her for doing the bare minimum. but ngl she gets under my skin anyways. the whole divine feminine schtick and "doing drag but as a cis woman" irks me

More in the comments. Can't imagine why the trains are short on allies.

URGENT @chrispavlovski @ric_rac @PathNetworks is so far behind on bills they are being evicted by @Equinix from multiple locations across the entire planet.

This company has been unethical for a decade and now it's a sinking ship. @rumblevideo is STILL ON IT.
