Maybe someone posted this already but I didn't search for it.
I'm going to do sneedman style by adding foids intermittently. Today I'll go with Denise Milani.
Tard Squad ELI5 reporting for duty:
By making them private, a user might get a good deal of likes for a publically heinous opinion because the awful people who like it are free from being exposed as supporting that heinous opinion by having their likes be public.
Now imagine politicians, companies, religious leaders, etc... liking any sort of account and you having no idea. Epstien p-do accounts? No problem! Racism, bigotry, support for Putin? All aboard!
Elon can just promote topics he agrees with and demote and outright censor anything he doesn't agree with. Because he's a petty daddy's money wannabe tyrant with a shitty diaper and a mother who doesn't love him even with all his money.
NoStupidQuestions asking Badthinks:
Why are users of Reddit, which has private likes, upset that Twitter/X now has private likes?
People who matter don't use reddit. Being able to see if a public figure is into fascist shit is pretty handy.
/r/Technology geniuses:
$8Chan in its final form. A pseudo NatC bar hiding behind a fig leaf. One man's attempt to control the narrative for his own ends whilst giving plausible deniability to those who wish to sow dissent and stir shiat on a colossal scale
It means they can sell your likes now that they aren't giving them away
for free.
Some White Knight on /r/Twitter wants to fall on his sword and make his votes public again

They've gone full mask-off: 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 trust @OpenAI or its products (ChatGPT etc). There is only one reason for appointing an @NSAGov Director to your board. This is a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth. You have been warned. https://t.co/bzHcOYvtko

YouTube is currently experimenting with server-side ad injection. This means that the ad is being added directly into the video stream.
— SponsorBlock (@[email protected]) (@SponsorBlock) June 12, 2024
This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times.

In response to constant bitching from jannies (unpaid) that new users aren't asking good questions, Stack Overflow have added a new feature called the Staging Ground:
Basically new users aren't even allowed to ask questions directly onto the site anymore and their questions are instead pushed into a separate pipeline where no one can give them answers and their questions are instead disseminated by powerusers. Only if a question passes this multi-stage process does it actually make it onto SO proper. Spoiler: nothing ever passes.
Let's look at what this new user experience looks like...
A new user asks a Python question (now deleted so no link). It's correctly formatted, it explains the question clearly and shows the error. This sounds like a good question, right? WRONG.
They're asked to edit the question (which they do), and then they're told to edit it again. The question is then closed as being "off topic" (it's a Python coding question lol) and to rub salt into the wounds a poweruser asks the Meta (aka poweruser sneed) forum how to punish them further in How should we respond in the Staging Ground when OP ignores feedback, makes a trivial edit and submits for re-evaluation?.
The response? Ask for more changes:
This is exactly what declined re-eval was added for. To elaborate more: we added this feature for this exact scenario, and it is designed to give the reviewer a frictionless way to both tell the author that they still need to address the original feedback (IIRC, banner tells them this). And if the author continues to ignore it, they will be temporarily blocked, with clear explanations why
Of course OP can't actually do this because their question has been closed as off topic.
Congrats Stack Overflow, you're going to die even faster.

TL;DR - carefully watch 
what he does when he says no, and then punish him for it until he loses the ability to ever refuse 
you.
This technique is also effective on human 
moids.

says! Ars Technica users prove once again that they're the smartest people on the Internet

Ars Technica have a zillion articles reporting on Apple's little event yesterday. The most interesting is "Apple's AI promise: “Your data is never stored or made accessible to Apple”. As always I don't give a shit what the article itself says so let's head straight to the comments.
It turns out the tech savvy geniuses who comment on Ars Technica articles would trust Apple with their lives, and anyone doubting Apple's security motives is torn apart.
Top comments:
Too many lies - from you and everyone else.
I'm sorry Apple, but I don't believe anyone that makes these kinds of claims... [downvoted to shit]
I'll be fascinated by your audit results, and am impressed at how quickly you work. [top comment]
no you have to blindly trust Apple
This is a nice change of pace, given recent events from companies like Abode, instead of the standard
<insert accent="" here="" russian=""></insert>
In Capitalist America, corporation monetizes YOU!!
Just a reminder that Ars users believe they're the most intelligent commenters on the Internet, and even Reddit-tier comments like this don't introduce self-doubt.
Do you for a fricking second believe them? Like really? [downvoted to shit]
Yes, because not everything is a conspiracy.
It may turn out that Apple are wrong, but I don't believe they're lying, because that would be incredibly stupid of them. [top comment]
I tend to trust companies to act in their own enlightened self-interest. In Apple's case, that mostly means they have more to lose from a leak indicating their privacy claims are ingenuous than they have to gain from whatever they might do with people's personal data.
Yeh everyone knows that personal data isn't useful to companies 
Very curious how it's at all possible to reliably verify the code running on a remote machine. [downvoted to shit]
Isn't that the entire premise of Open Source? How can you reliably verify the code running anywhere? [top comment]
Suspend disbelief? That's asking a lot. We shall see… [downvoted to shit]
What has Apple done in the last 10 years that requires you to suspend disbelief? I haven't heard of anything that would break my trust in them. [top comment]
TRUST APPLE
"You should totally believe us". [downvoted to shit]
Their architecture documents are public. [top comment]
Everyone knows that architecture documents are legally binding and definitely reflect what's actually running.
These guys are fricking idiots.

tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
