    My friend, I will give you the benefit of doubt and believe you when you say that this post’s purpose was to make fun of how shitty Twitter’s community notes are, and that is indeed an important topic to shed light on, so people won’t treat community notes as reliable.

    However,

    You can rest assured that a significant portion of the people who saw this post believed it as straight fact.

    It is impossible to overstate how gullible people on the internet are, and how readily they will straight up believe conspiratorial BS, especially surrounding controversial topics like Israel.

    That’s how Poe’s law works, and it is attitudes like yours that don’t take this shit seriously that end up inadvertently contributing to an environment full of libelous antisemitic conspiracies on the internet.

    I beseech you to carefully consider this stuff if you ever plan to post such a thing again.















  • From ChatGPT:

    The origin of “sod” as a slang term comes from British English, where it has been used since the 19th century. It is derived from “sodomy,” which refers to non-procreative sexual acts, and has historically been used in legal contexts with negative connotations. Over time, “sod” became a more generalized term of abuse or insult, detached from its original specific meaning related to sexual acts.

    In the context of “sod off,” the term “sod” is used as a derogatory noun, but it has become somewhat less offensive over time, often considered more cheeky or informal rather than a serious insult. The usage of “sod” has expanded beyond “sod off” to include expressions like “poor sod” (a term of sympathy for someone in an unfortunate situation) and “lucky sod” (someone who is particularly fortunate), showcasing its versatility in British slang.





  • I asked chatGPT what Wayland is since the article contains no explanation

    In this context, “Wayland” refers to a protocol and a display server protocol used in Linux operating systems. It’s an alternative to the more established X Window System (X11). The article highlights that Firefox version 121.0 has integrated support for Wayland by default, indicating that the browser can now utilize Wayland’s capabilities directly on modern Linux desktops without relying on XWayland compatibility layer, thereby enhancing performance and compatibility with the native display server protocol.
