@Hypolite Petovan The details are kind on the wikipedia page - which is pretty soft on the FSM though so uh yeah.
But basically - they would say "The number of pirates has decreased and the temperature of the earth has gone up - so it's pirates that cause global warming". It was... bad.
The whole "I want to wear a colander on my head in my driver's license photo was a direct result of anti-Hijab stuff.
The Church of the Subgenius I am aware of less bad things in (other than inspiring *real* UFO cults)

@Hypolite Petovan I mean - a lot of it is a matter of who was doing. But uh - maybe don't look up Thunderf00t or The Amazing Atheist these days.
But also - people were seriously getting the photo taken with the colander and then mocking the government for it - and that was a lot of the high profile stuff I saw. But also - I was a Canadian university student in a tech university - and so I have a cultural context.

@silverwizard @Hypolite Petovan "These days"? Wasn't Thunderf00t also part of the Gamer Gate harassment campaign?
Your read on 2 is... interesting to me. I'm not sure I agree. I always understood it, like much of their persona, to be deliberately, hyperbolically silly. The movement arose, after all, as a response to Kansas attempting to force "intelligent design" to be taught in schools—my read is that they used "pirates cause global warming" as a way to illustrate the absurdity of conflating correlation and causation.
Of course, when your MO is "claim to believe absurd things with a straight face," that can get into weird places.
Since you seem to have had a much less savory experience with these folks, I'm curious what you saw regarding climate change activism. Did you see Pastafarians actually pushing back on climate change?

@silverwizard @Hypolite Petovan I saw it mostly as an internet joke. Sure, it made some points about atheism that I (as Christian) obviously disagreed with, but I wasn't offended by it.
Of course the point about pirates was wrong, because there's actually a lot of pirates today. See the Somalian pirate scare from a decade ago or so.
You make some good points though. Especially about the anti-hijab stuff. Though I don't object to fighting overly strict ID photo rules.

@Martijn Vos @Hypolite Petovan So that was kinda the thing. The FSM was very much a Motte and Bailey where it's couched in an anti-creationism joke (redo of Russell's Teapot), and then can go "Oh, Christians make stupid claims about natural disasters all the time! So let's say Global Warming isn't real because pirates". And that's one motte where people could say that it's just a correlation joke - but then there's a second motte where people can claim that there's no global warming, with both things being fairly benign and some of the points being good - but the rest of it is real bad.
And then the joke about hijabs and stuff is easy to defend as "religious people get exemptions" and "photo id rules are bad" but quite easily becomes "hijab wearers are bad because they are asking for a special privilege" and even that is easy to couch in anti-religion.
And I have no doubt certain right wing elements did this on purpose.

So I use castget gratuitously to the point of madness. But my biggest problem with it is that sometimes people completely garbage out their RSS feed and it detects as all new.

So we have to do a bunch of security trainings again in August or whatever - and I know I hate all of the security trainings - but I was wondering about fairly seriously suggesting doing an Engineering Wide "Watch the training and mock it" session
The actual goal being to have people discuss the modules and what we think is good and bad about it - and why we think things are bad/irrelevant in a productive way, with an informal feel - in order to get real security awareness training done but without making it feel as bad
How do you feel about that?
Well, I just made this suggestion to my other half in management and see if I can get this to be formal policy

Most linux frontends I use seem to have strongly disabled the "middle click to paste selected text" and also generally "selecting text sends it to the selection buffer", and I presume this is a paranoia thing, but it's also a huge pain because there doesn't seem to be an option to change it. And it has cratered my workflows.

I am running a Cyberpunk game where a corporate has their headquarters outside a city, but few onsite apartments, so the people who are *in power* all do what is known locally as The Commute, a two hour traffic jam.
The world is making it clear that there's off-road public transit available, and there's an economy of people doing bike food deliveries, prostitution, and busking along the track for the four hours a day people are spending in traffic.
All for the right to drive to work in their own car.
And - Cyberpunk hurts me

Here is a must-read post from children's author Maggie Tokuda-Hall on how Scholastic offered to publish her book — all she had to do was remove all mention of racism.
Sure, they're banning books in Tennessee and Texas. But it's not just the books that get published and then banned from the library. It's all the books that don't get published in the first place.
Those banning books know publishers like Scholastic pull this cowardly bullshit. It's their game plan.

The whole "Gex X, Gen Z, millennial" thing is stupid. I've never liked it. I find it to be divisive and not only unnecessary, but I believe it also creates unfair stereotypes.
And the way people treat it like it's some kind of "science" annoys me to no end. These terms were invented by JOURNALISTS. Not any social scientists or historians. REPORTERS who were writing an article and came up with these arbitrary names on arbitrary dates.
I don't use them. It's toxic.

Hey #OpenBSD people - are you getting perl errors after upgrade to 7.3?
I've upgraded 3 servers successfully so far, but bringing up my webserver gives me:
CPAN and CPANm both give me the same kind of errors. perl-migrate-modules gives a similar error. I rolled back the update and pkg_add work, and I ran perl-migrate-modules to try to get XS versions and things correct, and then I ran the upgrade again, with same issue.
My env is pretty empty, and I've tried deleting my perl5 directory, and other site packages (pkg_add explicitly no_libs them but you know).
Anyone else seeing this?
