Did I spend 15 minutes wrecking my brain about why and how there are memory leaks after some optimization, before realizing it was the fault of console.log? Yes, yes I did.

Who gets mad about the cool art they get on their feed from an awesome artist? Oh no, an artist made choices about what they want to draw; how could they?

Darth Vader was not one person, but really the codename of the mechanical suit that kept people alive and allowed them to channel their hate/pain into the force. Anakin "was" Darth Vader at some point, but not every time Vader is mentioned it refers to the same person.

Half of the newer accounts on here: "Christ is King. Snowflakes still have Trump as their president. I am here to make communists afraid again."

The next couple of T&S meetings will be fire with topics like how to deal with a wave of state backed trolls entering your platform.

I mean yes you should vet whatever list you use for moderation. Idk if there are any helpful list creation/management tools atm, such that for example people you follow will be exempt from blocks.

'Hello yes I am from Brazil and think Mr President Trump is God, we also should start a war with everyone who does not like our glorious leader. No I am no troll, these are my sincere beliefes; also in a month I will be peddling crypto scams'

Me when I am clearly neither a bot nor a troll... The account is less than an hour old btw. I expect that there will be a deluge of new troll accounts over the weekend. But because they are dumb, and blocklists exist on here, there is a good chance that they won't get any traction.

And a lot of them are followed by very newly created accounts. It is a bit obvious for my taste what they want on here, but there is already a blocklist for the department accounts and I would bet that one for their followers will exist within the weekend.

Writing "Hello patriots" on a social media site is probably a humiliation ritual for the new intern, lmao.

Stupidcomputer @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 1d

We had this shit when Vance tired to wiggle his wormy eyeliner face in here, and just like then the best thing you can do now is not engage and just block. They are here for propaganda and trolling, but unlike Twitter this site has good self moderation tools that you can and should use.

Stupidcomputer @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 1d

Pro tip: Put them on a moderation list so you have the option to unblock them in ~3 years if you want to.

So there is a propaganda effort on the social media front comming from the US gov. The fresh bluesky accounts are about as partisan as you can expect, so blocking them and their followers seems to be an easy decision to make.

It is very confident in telling you whatever. I cooked up the name of the "Donald J. Trump Prize for Peace and Prosperity", that you will not find anywhere else on the internet, but google's AI tells me that "The phrase is tied to several efforts and events:" which it is not; I made it up.

Screenshot of Googles AI answering the question:
'Are there plans to create a "Donald J. Trump Prize for Peace and Prosperity"?' A non existing award that the user just came up with.

It says "As of October 2025, there are no publicly announced plans to create a "Donald J. Trump Prize for Peace and Prosperity"
. The term appears to be a rhetorical device used by supporters who want to see Trump receive the Nobel Peace Prize, reflecting both his diplomatic efforts and the name of his 2020 Middle East plan, the "Peace to Prosperity" plan.
The phrase is tied to several efforts and events:

Nobel nomination campaign: Supporters of Donald Trump, including allies in the U.S. and Israel, began a public campaign in 2025 to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Some have framed his push for the Nobel as an attempt to win the "ultimate prize of peace and prosperity," echoing his own words.
"Peace to Prosperity" plan: The name of Trump's 2020 Middle East plan, "Peace to Prosperity," is a direct source for the "Prosperity" part of the phrase. The plan was rejected by Palestinian leaders.
Official statements from Trump: In speeches during a trip to the Middle East, Trump has celebrated a ceasefire deal with Hamas and declared that it is time to seek "the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity" for the region. This rhetoric is likely where the idea for such a prize originated.

Essentially, the "Donald J. Trump Prize for Peace and Prosperity" is not an actual award but a term that encapsulates the public and political effort by his allies to secure him a prestigious peace award. "

Wie lange bis irgendein CDU Politiker von Rang und Namen sich hinstellt und sagt "Die Migranten essen sogar die Tiere im Viktoriapark"? Vance hat es vorgemacht, Farage wiederholt, lang kann es also nicht mehr dauern (wobei wahrscheinlich die AfD damit anfängt und die CDU das dann übernimmt)

I still fail to center a div, but (!) you can now go to stupidcomputer.neocities.org and look at pictures and data within gifs (if the pics are big it may take a bit). It is completly in browser, you could even download the js and html and use it localy. And it was written by an idiot, so have fun!

If you hate your own eyes, come on down to gif town! I might use the next weekend to setup and learn the basics of react so I can implement the frontend better; but until then this living nightmare is all I offer.

A website showing a few horrible colored blocks, text, and pictures of a gif.

Stupidcomputer @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 4d

The site is 100%* hand made, not responsive, and probably illegal in some country. But it does come with two small embedded gifs you can download and use to play around (should make them clickable and then load them directly tbh). The buttons may be unintuitive, but there are not too many of them.

the worst graphical design you have never seen.

"Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" buddy you are building a hallicunation engine, it will take like 3 days until someone marries their chatGPT mistress or harms themselves because they were rejected by the chatbot.
