And Offpunk.

Maybe a little JS, as a treat?

It’s fun for hiding little easter eggs.

Ththat’s different… you take it back!!

Thoughts in a contiguous sequence??!!? What utter bloat! Why even have a past or future when a pure consciousness need only experience the horizon of an infinite present.

phpBBB??

We’ve gotten to the point where you aren’t considered a real professional unless you start even the smallest projects with maximum technical debt.

They’re just following the example laid out by the venture capital model, really.

I guess all that’s left is to form a no-utf club.

Hmm, you kind of lost me with these metaphors. No offence, I’m just not sure what is supposed to represent what here.

But if the guy who created the FOSS movement says something gross, then they and everything they stand for should apparently be shunned.

They might mean that, but they didn’t say it. I don’t think they did mean it. I think they just don’t want people to forget the “problematic” aspects of someone before we go all worship mode on him.

It’s like how my partner will interject–he’s canadian!–if I mention some actor. Like she just doesn’t want me to forget that context, but other than that, I can carry on.

Maybe they did mean that, though and I’m missing some context from somewhere else in this thread.

Well it’s very evocative, you should be proud.

Do you have like a blog or something? Good bit of writing, this.

Randomly reminds me of some of the freakier social scifi to come out of Asimov’s typewriter. I remember one Robot story where the audience insert protagonist goes to an outer world colony where the incest taboo is not only missing, but it’s considered a faux pas to avoid sex with your family. One of the characters is in deep consternation because he doesn’t want to have sex with his daughter. Anyway, the protagonist and audience are naturally disgusted, but clearly it stuck in my head.

Academically… I don’t know. Because of my upbringing, I just can’t see it is as anything other than a severe moral crime. But I guess I could imagine a very very different world from our own where it wouldn’t be the weirdest fucking thing imaginable to even talk about it.

But that’s me bending over backwards to get inside the head of someone I think I like, like our buddy Stallman here.

We should make our own RIF

I used to love that app.

You decided on a new home yet? What’s your selection criteria.

I’d be tempted to make a single user instance, given how there’s an ansible playbook you can just run.

Yeah just having a larf, in the style of the op.

And then your prompt is all messed up, and your output is missing \rs for some reason, so output prints like:

$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x  2 lentil lentil Desktop/
                                   drwxrwxr-x  4 lentil lentil doom/
                                                                   drwxr-xr-x 17 lentil lentil Downloads/%

Feather gauntlet. Some beeswax terminals emulate it if you run kill -SIGFET $(pidof <your-gaunt-applet-here>).

I usually head the file, which at worst triggers the feather gauntlet

I could do this with my eyes closed
