Look what I found
Wrote a custom C++ engine to render raw WAD geometry directly to the DAC.
Pure vector output, 1D occlusion culling, no rasterization tricks.
Running on a MOTU M4.
holy shit you guys are really using this thing!!!
I stole this. #books
tell me the last thing you bought for under $50 that radically improved your life.
This from @gooba42 is a very good question. My own educated guess is that ICE has been compiling a “future harassment” list, rather than already having a “kill list;” the latter makes far more sense in the context of their behavior here and Good’s history.
Regardless of the answer, it is a •very• good question. If Congress had a spine, they’d be marching DHS in front of them to answer it.

Let's not be conspiratorial.
As far as I am aware, ICE uses facial recognition to identify undocumented immigrants.
I do not agree with this use of face ID by law enforcement, but it is far from a kill list.
We don't need to make up fairytales when the established facts are scary enough; support those in need and peacefully protest however you can.
edit: This wasn't clear in the original text, but I am very aware that facial ID has high false positive rates, and how discriminatory and awful it is. Hence why I do not agree with it's use. Just thought I'd clarify.

The 2025 Social Web Trust & Safety Report Is Here
New insights into the people, pressures, and infrastructure shaping decentralised platforms
Published by IFTAS, this report draws on detailed surveys and community feedback from volunteer moderators, administrators, and community managers across the decentralised social web. It offers our most comprehensive picture yet of the trust and safety landscape across projects like Mastodon, GoToSocial, WordPress, PeerTube, and more.
What’s in the Report
New pressures on moderators: The average […]
Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.
The Mathematical Center of the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research was destroyed in the military operation conducted last week. This is unbelievably sad. The IVIC is among the top research centres in the world and has been a major hub for mathematics in Latin America since at least the 1970s.
