Seriously just read this comment:

The Boys is such a weirdly horrible show…

…and that's exactly why I can't stop watching it.

The thing that bothers me most about the show though isn't the s*x or hyperviolence, it's the fact that there really are people out there who actually would idolise Homelander, and that's worse than any gore-soaked murder-fest the show will ever depict (and they've shown some seriously twisted stuff already).

Imagine unironically writing that. Other comments include:

Rick And Morty is another good example. Rick Sanchez is not supposed to be a role model, you Joker-loving freakazoids.

watch another cartoon

Butcher and Homelander's characters are horrible in a truly delectable way though, and both are brilliantly inhabited by their actors.

For me that's what takes The Boys from a 7.* to a high 9.

delectable is one of those Redditor words that makes me cringe.

Yesssss! Antony Starr's portrayal of Homelander is streets ahead. June 13th can't come soon enough.

You might think "this is a clearly astroturfed account and this comment will have been downvoted to heck by the astute, intelligent users of Ars Technica". You'd be wrong, it's one of the top comments and the user has had their Ars account for 23 years.

Let's see the most unpopular comment just to balance things out:

super - yawn

The desperate attempt to be different from other series with <whatever others don't dare to do/show> gets boring very quickly. If you don't have a decent story, even extra violence won't help (as 'The Boys' impressively demonstrates - season 3 was already just a collection of confused story fragments pasted together with violence).

Heroes, zombies, detectives with superhuman cognitive abilities, but with social abnormalities, extra violence, time travel stories with maximum arbitrariness, the 1,000th series variation of a once successful film, with ideas that have long since become stale (Star Trek, Star Wars, all superheroe movies & series, ...), ...

How boring! Mental fast food for people who prefer not to deal with anything.

One of the replies to it:

Unless you're in a private group of friends and been given the 'ok' to do so, nobody likes someone who sarcastically shits on things other people like because they're bored, either in public socialization or on social media.

You have to have a functioning, actual specific critique as to why production on the show may have been a waste relative to something else or the critique falls out as being 'that guy', bored and being a shithead for the sake of it.

dramacels in shambles.

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform he helped start. In two posts today, Bluesky thanked Dorsey while confirming his departure and adding that it's searching for a new board member “who shares our commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience.”

The posts come a day after an X user asked Dorsey if he was still on the company's board, and Dorsey responded, without further elaboration, “no.” As TechCrunch points out, Dorsey was on a tear yesterday, unfollowing all but three accounts on X while referring to Elon Musk's platform as “freedom technology.”

Neither Bluesky nor Dorsey himself seem to have said how or why he left the board. For now, two board members remain: CEO, Jay Graeber, and Jabber / XMPP inventor Jeremie Miller. Dorsey originally backed Bluesky in 2019 as a project to develop an open-source social media standard that he wanted Twitter to move to. He later joined its board of directors when it split from Twitter in 2022.

But Dorsey hadn't seemingly been a particularly active participant at the company. In March, when The Verge's Nilay Patel asked Graeber for Decoder about his level of involvement with Bluesky, she said she gets “some feedback occasionally,” but implied he's otherwise “being Jack Dorsey on a cloud,” as Nilay put it. Months before that interview, Dorsey had closed his Bluesky account.

Bluesky did not immediately respond to The Verge's request for comment.

Update May 5th, 2024, 4:37PM ET: Updated with Bluesky's confirmation of Dorsey's departure from its board.

TunnelVision, as the researchers have named their attack, largely negates the entire purpose and selling point of VPNs, which is to encapsulate incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in an encrypted tunnel and to cloak the user's IP address. The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they're connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android. They also said their attack technique may have been possible since 2002 and may already have been discovered and used in the wild since then.

( . . . . )

Interestingly, Android is the only operating system that fully immunizes VPN apps from the attack because it doesn't implement option 121. For all other OSes, there are no complete fixes. When apps run on Linux there's a setting that minimizes the effects, but even then TunnelVision can be used to exploit a side channel that can be used to de-anonymize destination traffic and perform targeted denial-of-service attacks. Network firewalls can also be configured to deny inbound and outbound traffic to and from the physical interface. This remedy is problematic for two reasons: (1) a VPN user connecting to an untrusted network has no ability to control the firewall and (2) it opens the same side channel present with the Linux mitigation.

hi. posting this because a lot of people are questioning me for posting the loli god requiem video after i, admittedly, did attack a creator for liking that kind of stuff 2 years ago.

hi. posting this because a lot of people are questioning me for posting the loli god requiem video after i, admittedly, did attack a creator for liking that kind of stuff 2 years ago.

when i first started vtubing, i did not understand the culture in the slightest. i was mostly a cringe stan twitter user. so, coming into vtubing and anime culture, someone who had zero clue as to what anything was, i didn't understand anything and when i saw loli stuff i immediately assumed it was p-do shit.

(keep this part in mind as you're reading the rest. when i first started streaming, i had a bigger content creator convince me that drama = content so i should “farm that shit”)

so, me, still slowly coming out my woke stan twitter phase and entering the vtubing phase, i saw what a bunch of people were posting about a streamer on twitter and i immediately jumped the hate bandwagon because i wanted to take my friend's advice .. which lead me to call out the girl LIVE on MY stream where her name had NO business being there.

looking back at it, i wasn't even trying to criticize. i was just straight up bullying her and trying to de-platform her when i didn't even know who she truly is as a person. we have so many mutual friends in common and any time her name was brought up in idle chit chat, i started feeling really bad. because everyone had said nothing but nice things about her. and it became more clear and clear to me that she didn't deserve that.

as for apologizing to her, ive reached to a mutual friend of ours back in february (because her dms are closed) in attempt to send my apology to her. said friend told me that she wasn't answering dms because it was clear she was going through something at the time.

after i started gaining experience in streaming over the year, ive learned so many things. you'd actually have to be mentally inept to do what i did over a year ago. it's just rude, unnecessary, and disrespectful. i know that now.

and if somehow this message gets to you, i am very sorry for what i did. i didn't know you and yet i attacked you without even educating myself with who you truly are. my behavior was unacceptable. i will continue to learn how to be a better person. side note, i hope u feel better with what ur dealing with atm. it sounds rough, so pls take all the time u need to heal. u have so many people who love and appreciate u that will be waiting for u with open arms.

and sorry to those who i upset with my previous post. as i've delved deeper into the world of vtubing, i've gained a better understanding of anime culture. i've come to understand that characters with youthful appearances are common across media forms. i've come to appreciate their innocence without any negative implications. ive pretty much adopted an entirely new outlook on this subject.

in conclusion, not the same person who i was two years ago. i hate her too. i hope u can give present me a chance. if not, that's okay too. have nice day.

IDK who this person is, I just know now that the V tuber community strongly stands with Drake!
