MacOS is actually officially “UNIX” though. It has that going for it.

I don’t know, I have a pet programming project of my own I’ve been messing around with on and off for a year, but you know what? I get it. It starts with a single, simple goal. Every project can become a TempleOS if you let it.

I just don’t get it with these proprietary cloud connected devices. Do people just not realize that keeping server infrastructure running for free after a product is sold is not in a company’s best profit-seeking interests (maybe they don’t even think about how things on the Internet actually work, I dunno)? I thought of this almost fifteen years ago when I started seeing smart thermostats. There should always be an option to go local, even if it requires the consumer to acquire a skillset in IT. Maybe we can start working things like that into right to repair legislation if it isn’t already.

Because I don’t want to crawl out of one shit hole only to fall into another hastily constructed one. Let’s get it right. Let’s learn from the past. We know how misinformation and mass propaganda manipulates people against themselves in our current system. We can act to prevent that. We know the people who start amassing more than a certain amount of wealth start becoming unstoppable. We can fix that too. We know how minority rights get trampled now. Let’s put safeguards in for that too.

Like I said, let’s be careful. Or the new system will get taken over by greed, hate, and fear just like any other.

Not skeptically. Carefully. You can’t just say “okay, everyone vote on the laws directly” without thinking it through. You have to guarantee everybody’s rights, not just the ones who managed to overpower everyone else.

Damn no wonder Balmer was so shook in the early 2000s.

Direct democracy needs to have some sort of concept of human rights enshrined in its system somehow, and make it very hard to violate, otherwise, it could get ugly. Mob rule isn’t always good. It could easily lead to torches and pitchfork “justice”.

I did vote. Not for him. So anything done by the US at this point has nothing to do with me. My decision was nullified.

Stop assuming things without complete information. Maybe I also worded it wrong.

I didn’t decide shit, the rest of these asshats I’m surrounded by did it for me. Leave me out of it.

I might be a bit slow…

Wat? It’s the JS source for some website. Whoever made this literally just clicked “view page source” on a random website. It’s OS agnostic.

Bitcoin is open source, released as such by Satoshi themselves. How do you claim IP on that?

Tankies gonna tankie.

It’s limited. They give you a free dose at first and expect you to come back for more later.

Also getting tired of people associating the word “quantum” with futuristic or extremely advanced, thinking somehow they will supercharge AI or something.

All it means is the idea that everything is discrete packets of energy, or “quanta”, existing in various fields. It’s a mathematical model to describe what we see. That’s it.

Wat? Don’t you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.

I wouldn’t buy a $500 device where the manufacturer guarantees certain games to work but then doesn’t help me get them working if I need them.

Or that they don’t have support?

Not specifically the whole Linux/Proton/Game stack. That’s Valve’s bread and butter, not Canonical or Redhat.

Go ahead, call Redhat and tell them you can’t get Skyrim to run, see how far that gets you.
