Memes According to Garp

I meant that if someone made multiple replies within some time threshold, similar to how ‘this post has been edited’ works, the board could automatically join them into one post, maybe with a little indication that it’s concatenated. You could even make it config option for users.

Why walk when you can ride?

We embedded third party auditors in that crypto exchange so I’m curious exactly how inscrutable tiktok really are.

I mean the accusations are that they’re too beyond oversight and we can’t confidently audit the data, so giving us a button to stop them when we can’t see what they’re doing would be a joke. But I’m skeptical that it’s as difficult to lock down their data as we make it seem.

Tiktok offered us the ability to shut them down? To avoid being shut down. By us. Woe to the vanquished I guess.

That’s what I said. Free licenses are for free software, while copyleft is for “free software.” Copyleft is because corporations like Xerox will act in bad faith, etc. Free licenses are for free software. Copyleft is for Free Software, The Movement. People aren’t cucks for not deigning to make every piece of code they write part of some statement.

Google still serves me ads in the wrong language. Maybe by utilizing the vast powers of AI Google will be able to figure out I speak English.

Permissive licenses are truer to the spirit of free software but copyleft, while kind of a copout, seems more pragmatic due to corporations. I wouldn’t avoid copyleft licensing on principle or anything but it feels incongruous to want to make something freely available to all but then nitpick over how they use it.

This kind of rhetoric is for conservatives / Trump supporters / conspiracy theorists.

The way he implies there’s an agenda behind the hire without actually articulating it, the way he leads you on and then assumes you’ll take the implication for granted, an unearned “this is a very bad thing!”, capped with a cryptic “You’ve been warned!”

It’s very weird to want strong benefits from your employer and not simply as a separate thing. Maybe that’s not what he meant but the way it’s listed is vague.

I would not want to sacrifice my time and energy making a product better just so a corporation can make more money or earn more kudos. And the higher ups definitely don’t want to invest more than they have to. Minecraft is just a product now.

Every disaster humans face has at least one antisocial freaking out and threatening to take everyone down. It’s got to be one of the most depressing cliches.

The Shinzo Abe situations are always weird to me. One or more people decided to do this, in the sense that the buck stops somewhere.

It’s easy to find addresses, workplaces, family members, an itinerary.

It’s like in order to make it to these positions you need to have a defective brain that allows you to hurt lots of other people while ignoring how easy it is for one of them to reach out and touch you. I’d need constant anxiety meds.

There are tracing programs that let you see when a program makes system calls to read and write files, control hardware, etc. It might be easiest to run it and see what it does in a VM sandbox. Process Monitor looks like a strace equivalent on windows.

It’s new to me, I think it’s saying that your system is built up by you declaring what you want in a file, a single source that everything comes from.

It’s atomic because each action the system takes is carefully completed rather than bailing out and requiring you to fix something.

It’s immutable meaning you declare how you want things to be set up and then critical changes stem from those declarations and nothing else. You would obviously generate preferences, save data, etc. but the files that make the system / packages work are carefully locked.

It’s like the concept of flatpaks + structured system defining + modern common sense OS operations?

Consider their law strategy: instead of targeting bad behavior, they target people they don’t like.

He might not be able to understand a word being bad because of the actions ascribed to it. “So if Bernie did those things you’d call him a fascist?” “Uh yes, that’s not a gotcha.”

He’s more likely to think something like “fascism isn’t actually a bad word because it just means conservatives and that’s my team”

If this is local (it’s a Montreal site so probably) and we’re working with -4 UTC then quali is at 1700 on the 8th, right by a peak, and then the race is at 1500, near another peak.

I wish I remembered/knew how much rain fell at other races – hopefully they get to drive.

“Both sides” is not discussion or criticism, it’s a fallacy.

I’m excising the fallacy.

What team do you think I’m on exactly? I don’t think people should shit on Trump by calling him fat. I’m conservative. I don’t think Democrats are as bad as Republicans. I’m liberal. I think geopolitics is a hard game to play. I’m Kissinger.

Or maybe I’m just someone who doesn’t do tribalism to the same degree? Maybe I’m a one man sports team?

Criticism is as valuable as the metrics and thoughtfulness that went into it. “Both sides” is less than low hanging fruit, it’s rotting, inebriating trash fruit. It’s like an intrusive thought that people need to learn is a simian brain glitch.
