It's probably full of a lot of trash and impurities, melting it lets it be filtered through waste water systems.

LMAO Trump "named" the legally designated successor in case of emergencies President? Does Trump also "name" the sun as rising every morning?

Thanks @Edie@hexbear.net for letting me know about this!

The .org domain was apparently suspended, but the other ones are fine (.li, .se, .pm, .in). Their Wikipedia page should have an updated list of domains if this happens again.

The Reddit post from the archive team about this is linked, with the full text copied inside this spoiler.

Message from Anna: we're fine

The .org domain apparently has been suspended. Our other domains work fine, and we've added some more. We recommend checking our Wikipedia page for the latest domains.

This unfortunately happens to shadow libraries on a regular basis. We don't believe this has to do with our Spotify backup.

To keep our operations running properly we're always looking for donations. We're doing a fundraiser this month where you get double downloads for the entire duration of your membership.

Thanks for your continued support.

"We're better than this!" shout a people (Americans) who are in fact much worse than this.

Cross-posting my own post from /c/feedback to /c/technology, because it seems like the feedback comm is bugged.


There has been discussion recently about the performance of the emoji picker. I wanted to make a follow-up thread.

To establish context, there are two emoji pickers.

  1. The one that appears when you type ":" followed by a string to filter the results. I will refer to this as the "inline" picker.
  2. The one that appears when you click the "Emoji" button above the text entry area for a comment/post. I will refer to this as the "popup" picker.

Many people have had performance issues with these pickers. Some have proposed reducing the number of emoji, which I am personally strictly opposed to. I think the emoji are a crucial part of this website, including the very rarely used ones. It seems much better to first pursue technical solutions to this problem.

  1. Lazy loading of the images, meaning that only the images matching your search string will be loaded rather than all the images at once.
    • @makotech222@hexbear.net implemented this, which works well. However, it seems to work only for the inline picker and not the popup.
    • Could this be implemented for the popup? I assume the popup uses a 3rd party library, which may complicate this.
    • This should theoretically allow a functionally unlimited number of emoji.
  2. Some of the images (as @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net pointed out) are oversized.
    • Perhaps these could be bulk resized. This was discussed in the previous thread.
    • I would like to also propose very low resolution versions (32x32 or similar) be created to act as thumbnails for the popup picker, if possible. This may not be worth the effort, or do more harm than good.

I have also noticed other problems with the pickers.

  1. The popup picker and inline picker seem to use different filtering algorithms, which do not provide the same list of emoji for the same input. I personally find the popup picker to work better.
  2. The popup picker seems to insert emoji at the end of the comment/post text with a space before and after.
    • This means having to remove one or more spaces when combining emoji.
    • This also means having to cut and paste the inserted text if the desired location was not the end of the post/comment.
    • I propose that it would be better for the emoji text to be inserted at the location of the typing cursor, without spaces before and after. This is only for the popup picker, it makes sense for the inline picker to insert a space after because it functions as autocomplete.

Found a reddit post from Platner describing his unit in Iraq being ordered to stop using mortars in high density urban areas.

He devised a method to use mk19 grenade launchers to evade detection by command. "It wasn't the most accurate system" he says, but he still used it.

Palestinian bodies returned by Israel blindfolded, signs of possible ‘field executions’

Some of the Palestinians’ bodies handed over by Israeli forces on Tuesday were blindfolded and handcuffed, medical sources tell Al Jazeera.

According to these sources, there are signs that several individuals may have been subjected to “field executions”.

Additionally, tank tracks were found on the bodies, suggesting that some may have been run over by Israeli vehicles.

Eurovision Song Contest organiser calls off Israel vote

Eurovision Song Contest organisers will no longer vote on Israel’s participation in the competition following Middle East “developments”, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) says.

Eurovision has faced controversy linked to Israel’s war on Gaza, and several countries pledged to withdraw from the event if Israeli contestants took part.

“The Board agreed to put the issue on the agenda of its ordinary Winter General Assembly, which will be taking place in December,” instead of the extraordinary meeting that had been slated to take place online in November, an EBU statement said.

Whatever fate europeans end up inflicting on themselves, they deserve worse.

The fact that this particular repulsive freak "country" can commit genocide for two years and be openly protected by FIFA while the Russians were expelled the femtosecond they stepped over the Ukrainian border is so unspeakably disgusting that I quite literally cannot find the words to describe it here.

Death to "Israel". Death to FIFA. Death to the European Union.

Tired of interviewees and people who write opinion pieces calling things "globalist", please either use "imperialist" or "homosexual" depending on what you actually mean so that I don't need to invest effort and research into figuring out if I want to launch you into the sun.

Thank you for your attention in this matter! trump-anguish

Mamdani, darling of the "American Left", continues to stake out his pro-war-criminal position. This time clarifying that he believes Maduro and Diaz-Canel are "dictators", just in time for his government to invade Venezuela.

https://hexbear.net/post/6353688

Sorry for contaminating the news mega with this. I just think it's internationally relevant to drive home once again how Americans are not to be trusted, especially because of the build-up to action in Venezuela. I can already see the trajectory of this man's political career as he sells out more and more the closer he gets to national government.

FBI cuts ties with Anti-Defamation League amid conservative backlash

FBI Director Kash Patel announces break with anti-Semitism watchdog amid outrage over description of Charlie Kirk.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/2/fbi-cuts-ties-with-anti-defamation-league-amid-conservative-backlash

LMAO michael-laugh

While Patel did not mention Kirk in his statement, his announcement came just a day after the ADL removed more than 1,000 entries about alleged extremism from its website amid right-wing outrage over references to the late activist.

The ADL said it made the decision as many of the terms were outdated and a number of entries had been “intentionally misrepresented and misused”.

In a since-deleted entry on Kirk and his youth organisation Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the ADL said Kirk promoted “Christian nationalism” and “numerous conspiracy theories about election fraud and Covid-19 and has demonised the transgender community”.

Fascist freaks at the ADL continue to expose their true nature.

This cannot be allowed to happen. If this happens and we stand by, we are all damned for eternity. Our children will hate us, and they'll be right.

This thread is an embarrassment, I can't believe there are people on Hexbear handwringing about violence against settler civilians. Did Native Americans never kill colonizer civilians? Are we going to start condemning the Haitian revolutionaries?

Israelis are constantly pretending they live in fear of being killed by Palestinian "terrorists". Have they considered fucking leaving, which is an option the Palestinians don't even have? No Israeli children would be in a position to be killed in the fighting or held hostage if their colonizer parents hadn't put them there. These children are victims, but they're victims of their colonizer parents and colonizer politicians.

You want to talk about children being held hostage to ensure compliance from adults? How many Palestinian children are there in the open air prison of Gaza, where 2/3 of the population are under 25 years old?
