  This is hilariously plausible. Someone SCUBA down to Gabe and give him the idea.

    dives to 50 feet, removes tube from mouth to shout to Gabe, and fucking drowns

      FWIW (and I know it’s not the joke…) it’s perfectly fine to remove the mouth piece while scuba diving. In fact it’s part of basic training. You should be able to remove the mouth piece and take another one, your octopus or the one of your buddy, in case there is an incident.

      No… the real question for a good diver is how the heck you’re going to say HDMI 2.1 with hand signs! /s

        You breathe through an octopus? Don’t they need that oxygen themselves?

      I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

      Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

        It’s even more pathetic than that. They aren’t just expressing their will to play the game, they are asking for approval despite it. It’s similar to the “nothing personal” disclaimer which is usually followed by something with significant personal disruption.

        Most honestly expressed, they’d be, “I’m doing/about to do something that impacts you negatively, please don’t retaliate against me because I don’t like it when negative things happen to me.”

      What does this even mean in this context

        I’m pretty sure the saying goes, “don’t hate the player, hate the game.” Which implies that you shouldn’t be blaming the bad actors but the bad system that causes it to be that way.

  Does it have to be companies? Could individual people just have 15k, and join? We just need 81 new members.

    Unfortunately it not only has to be companies, but unless you are a producer of products that are HDMI certified already your membership will be denied. It would take a lot of fuckery to make that many corporations and not have all of their membership applications be denied. Also I’m not sure that it’s even a voting democracy in the traditional sense even if you could.

      Don’t you just need to setup a run of HDMI devices and have 80 companies invest together as a group for manufacturing, then have each company put their own sticker on it.

      While doing that for 80 companies is not feasible I doubt all 80 members are opposed. Valve and AMD could talk to video card, monitor, laptop and handheld makers to pad the membership enough.

      As for the democracy question a quick skim of their bylaws suggests it’s close enough.
