Seems like a way to foist off the responsibility for shitty communication on the supernaturally-supposed-to-be-recipient, in my opinion.

Bet they'll patent it, just to make sure nobody can have nice things.

It's very human, that's why it happens everywhere in history and also in at least like 4 or 5 different places right now.

We'd like to think we're nice and rational and empathetic, but we're just not as a species.

I think the idea of having instances own communities is fundamentally flawed. Discoverability is one of many ways that fucks things up.

Because what is legal and not does not involve all that much logic.

Absolutely - and not even just terminally ill. We typically recognize when pets are past their meaningful life - once things start getting difficult or painful enough, we let them off. Meanwhile if you have bone cancer and live an eternity of agony every second, "tough shit lol" I guess.

Sometimes you just can't fix things. Then it gets to be about harm reduction. Flogging someone whose continued existence will only bring them and everyone else pain... seems pretty horrific to me.

Fresh and still crispy, sure. It's the sogginess that got me.

French fries sometimes go in kebabs and stuff around here. When they're on the side, that is awesome. When they're just drenched in the sauce so you get a soggy pile of greasy potato, it is disgusting.

Oh, and fruity beers suck: not just "notes of blahblahblah in my hipster IPA" which can be good, but "we literally put fruit juice in this stuff" which... can't. I like beer, I like fruit. They do not, however, need to mix on my account.

Sorta related: coriander (cilantro) is fine in moderation and I'm a sucker for a baguette. Once had a banh mi that had a fucking bushel of the stuff, tasted like being dragged through miles of dense shrubbery after someone yanked you out of the shower mid-shampooing. Also burning.

Because you don't want to reinvent wheels unless you have a good reason. What would be a good reason for a new OS family at this point?

It's extremely common for people to dismiss stuff they don't get. The only way to "get" any goddamn thing is to have experienced or seen it very close up, apparently, for a lot of people.

I like this guy. If you're into retro computing, Ben Eater, who was mentioned in this video, has an awesome channel too: one of his video series involves making a computer from scratch on a breadboard using one of these bad boys (65c02, I think)
