Exactly what I Iearned by working in a scientific institute for 3 years. Before that I put scientists on a pedestal and wanted to be one. Now, not anymore. They are as flawed and morally mediocre as most of the general populace.

All crypto"currencies" are greed-inducing society-eroding pyramid schemes.

Also doesn't deserve Twitter, now known as a letter owned by a Gestapo enthusiast.
I mean, they are misogynistic if they’re pulling shit like this. Regardless of what she has done.
They would've pulled that joke regardless of gender. Matt and Trey aren't misogynistic and I'd bet my life on that. Moreover, and I'll copy-paste my own answer from somewhere else:
Aside from this episode, what often saddens me is the realization that remarkably many men and women are so psychologically damaged to the point that their body dysmorphia leads them to think that this Eraserhead/Chucky-like plastic surgery is more aesthetically pleasing than normal aging. Zoom into this Wikipedia profile picture of Kristi Noem and tell me she doesn't look like a demon.
In general I do not condone ad hominem attacks, but to be fair, considering the Gestapo shit going on in the USA, the carpet does match the drapes.
This "magic" requires a certain dose of privilege to be enjoyed. Fairly certain nearly everyone has the cognitive potential to do so, but unless we tax the rich, not the potential privilege.
I always saw the nice things that Microsoft offered to its users
I'd understand this perspective in 2005, but 2025?

The title is misinformation. It should be "someone made a RAT downloadable on Arch Linux" because the Arch User Repository (AUR) ≠ official repository. From the Arch wiki:
The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a community-driven repository for Arch Linux users. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via pacman. The AUR was created to organize and share new packages from the community and to help expedite popular packages' inclusion into the extra repository. This document explains how users can access and utilize the AUR.
A good number of new packages that enter the official repositories start in the AUR. In the AUR, users are able to contribute their own package builds (PKGBUILD and related files). The AUR community has the ability to vote for packages in the AUR. If a package becomes popular enough — provided it has a compatible license and good packaging technique — it may be entered into the extra repository (directly accessible by pacman or from the Arch build system).
Warning: AUR packages are user-produced content. These PKGBUILDs are completely unofficial and have not been thoroughly vetted. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.
What the hell happened to the ant? My god I dislike cliffhangers.
As I've said before and will many times again, anything that touches crypto"currencies" turns to shit because it means having succumbed to greed.
It's a Crypto Cult Science.
Submitted. Thanks!
