In the aftermath of Github banning or suspending dozens of popular accounts, the erotic game modding community wonders if they should move to platforms like GitGoon instead.
A cheating controversy rocking the chess world just won’t let up. One conspiracy theory promoted by Elon Musk without evidence is that young chess wiz Hans Niemannn defeated world chess champion Magnus Carlsen in early September with the aid of a vibrating set of anal beads.
It’s an intriguing idea, but is such a thing even possible? Ron Sijm, a software engineer in the Netherlands, wants to find out and has developed software to test the theory. He’s posted the code to open-source coding platform GitHub, and all he needs now is the right sex toy.
With the code built, Sijm started hunting for a butt plug or set of anal beads to test his theory. He’s turned to a community that knows the systems best, the butt plug sex toy control project Buttplug.io. Sijm has been talking with the folks on Buttplug.io Discord server in an effort to find someone who already has a device and is willing to test the software.
Sijm said coding out the basic software took about four hours and that, hypothetically, it would be easy for someone like Niemann or his team to put together. The list of compatible anal vibrating devices is long.
He’s still not sure Niemannn cheated, though. “It is of course suspicious,” he said. “But it could be luck or it could be that Magnus had a bad day… maybe it’s not even possible to do this. That’s why I thought to make this program. Let people try. Maybe if people figure out it doesn’t even work at all, then this whole theory of butt plugs was just a waste of time.”
Hmm. Actually…you probably can actually determine it. Assuming that the device’s radio is talking Bluetooth, which not all do, if anyone had a cell phone near the environment, and made use of Google’s or Apple’s Location Services, said companies probably have a log of it responding to beacons. Those location services work by broadcasting a beacon to Bluetooth and WiFi devices and uploading their MAC address and signal strength of the response to Google and Apple, who then compare it to prior position reports and IDs and strengths to determine a position, so there’ll be a log of devices and their active periods floating around in their databases.
TIL there’s a GitHub repository called
buttplug-jsWeb devs need hardware integration support too.
Won’t someone think of the chess Grand Masters?

Ah.
