I wouldn’t have “noticed” it anyway, but hey - bonus cat enjoyment

It was:

I did the math

Followed by a logical conclusion that sold this as trolling to me

Which is an outright fabrication.

Based on using an anime filter once on, I believe, a single Snapchat pic.

Tyler Robinson = groyper.

Every single thing was a groyper meme.

He wore a trump costume. He wore a Pepe costume.

If each casing existed in a vaccum, and there were no other information whatsoever (like his father wearing 3 percenter shirts, the costumes, even the timing of him becoming political) I’d be able to agree with you.

I’m not saying his motives are confirmed, but to say he’s not a groyper would be ignoring the information we do have.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Tyler Robinson shot Kirk. The Colorado school shooter from the same day is a different person.

And those aren’t Lemmy memes - do you know what a groyper is?

I still have mine! And several other models along the way, right up until I finally went DSLR with a rebel.

Now I’ve got a slew of lenses (especially ooold ones) and a crapton of adapters so I can stick em on my Fuji. Really thinking about getting a full frame, but…

Now I kind of want to take a little pocket camera out for fun shots

The casings were engraved with groyper memes, yes.

So… To you, hate towards a group of people, and hate of a person spreading hate for a group of people - thats the same thing to you?

You see absolutely zero difference between “this person did awful things” and “all ‘x’ people are awful by nature of being born as ‘x’”?

And you want me to reflect on my thoughts?

Wow. Those are some wild leaps.

Enjoy your day, I have no interest in anything more with you.

Are you equating:

• People taking a job where you wear a mask to cover up because the shit youre doing has been considered illegal for decades
• People taking a job where you knowingly ruin government programs that millions of people rely on

With:

• People saying “Charlie Kirk was hateful and inspired violence”

?

The trouble is, once the parent company starts merging some departments, shareholders often push to merge more departments.

Especially since they are talking about all the money they will save cutting jobs.

Based on the time frames for this, I’m going to guess by the end of 2026 the engineering team will shrink, followed by a 2027 announcement of merging departments for better management, and RedHat basically be just IBM entirely by 2028.

If I still had any servers on RH for work, I’d be planning my moves right about now (personally I started the shift after the 2023 announcement on source code availability, finalized the last three servers in June actually).

Really quite a shame to see how things have changed.

Anyway, I’d suspect there are at least a couple years left before its a mess.

Whoops! Brain no worky.

Fixed, thanks!

I take this to be “damage done, team isn’t needed anymore, mission accomplished”.

Legal, hr, finance, and accounting is now IBM, and IBM has noted job cuts as part of the cost savings in its profit forecasting.

Engineering, product, sales, and marketing are not making any changes - yet.

I would note that IBM is also now pushing its “enhanced AI” support over speaking with actual people, unless you have an upgraded support tier. Basic support tier can also no longer escalate cases.

I would agree in not needing to rush anywhere, but I would have to say this looks like the start of enshittification for sure.

Lidarr + Picard when needed is about all I do, need for Picard is pretty rare at this point, except when pulling in tracks from burned CDs of esoteric mixes I made quite a long time ago.

Christian fascism has been a thing for a loooooong time.

Casings, not bullets. Also all groyper memes/references.

“Why do you hate oil? Youre a radical leftist communist socialist anarchist antifa!”

I dunno, I feel like you can make anything seem political if you have no morals or values. Just look at how they treat people who are trans.

“Notices bulges OwO what’s this?” is used within the groypers to make fun of furries, as well as when they are (ugh I hate that I’m about to say this word) “transvestigating”, which is when they “investigate” whether someone is trans or not. Also see “If you read this, you are gay LMAO”

Bella ciao is also used ironically within the groypers.

If it was the only thing there… Sure. Its not though, its one of several things, which all have one very specific context - groypers.

Context is always important.

Edit: Forgot to add - with Helldivers 2, the joke is you’ve got fascists dropping bombs while saying they are dropping bombs on fascists. Again, a meme reference for groypers.

I haven’t seen it, if its written somewhere I’d like the link to read it.

That said, I don’t think prepared speeches represent the person, especially in a situation like this - Its generally prepared for a reason.

Edit: Just read it.

Well… Yeah I guess it fits since she married Kirk in the first place. I’m going to guess those kids will be getting the alt-right answers to every question they may have.

Oof.

That is correct, his dad (in pictures on Facebook with him) has 3 percenter shirts.

Also makes me wonder how that would lead to their kid killing someone I would deem as far right.

Kirk wasn’t the “right” version of the right. Take a look at the groyper wars for a very specific connection between being against Kirk. This is part of what makes the (extremely specific) memes and costumes so telling about his attitude towards Kirk.

Based on the difference between the paraphrasing references and the quotes provided on the dinner discussion too, I’d lean towards the family not being fan of Kirk either, but that is pure speculation.
