- Comment on Tips for moving from TrueNAS to Debian for a NAS? 21 hours ago:
Again not reading what I wrote FFS! I did not call you uneducated but said you were kneejerking then said you are being anxious, because you were not reading the comment and making it about you instead of the previous commenter. It’s not an insult.

I didn’t even imply that, so I will now call you anxious.
I was defending people who write well and craft long detailed answers. Read it again.

Come on, some of us paid attention in school and actually format things properly while using decent grammar. Bonus if you’re an organized thinker. Definitely a touch grass moment, the internet is wearing on you.

To be fair, sure, fuck the yank dominance of topics.
To be clear, though, this is a shitpost about how you can’t escape authoritarianism no matter your creed or country. Buckle up kids.

- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 6 days ago:
Those are good points but Torino as Turin is complicated, some folks there still call it that in dialect etc. and historically, run by the Lombards and all that.
English is terrible at this, Venice is Venezia, if you can say pizza you can say that.

OK but no-one knows for certain.
- Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated? 2 weeks ago:
I started by swapping floppies for PS 1.0, and used it professionally since.
Cut the umbilical last year. To replace it I need a few programs for different aspects of what PS did for my workflow, and it’s not 100%, but close, it’s waywayway cheaper, and now I can pollute my RAM with all kinds of tools at once without swap loading up hard.
Affinity did a pretty good job with muscle memory for switchers, though I don’t rely on it as much as I expected.

Oh, read some Octavia Butler then! Brilliant and, well, kinda what you just said. The Xenogenesis series.

Sam_Bass’s comments are mainly mildly contemptuous one-liners. Condescending is part of the persona, and when others interpret that manner as right wing, it seems to affirm sam’s misanthropy.

I fully believe that you are antifascist in sentiment. I also see that you are asking people to show some skepticism about media that is obscure in origin and used to evoke strong feelings.
I was a media literacy activist for decades and this was one of the basic points, that framing can reverse the meaning of an image or video or even story. So you are essentially just asking people to show a little media literacy, which is laudable.
Your manner of argument, in a highly charged subject, is tone deaf, which is what seems to have triggered the downvotes. Righteousness is druglike, the veracity of the recorded action is immaterial, and we all need the narrative that punching nazis is normal. Plus, actual nazi propaganda techniques include sowing doubt about their existence, making false equivalencies, minimizing their transgressions, etc., and the tone deaf manner made it look like you were doing that.

You know, the subcontinent has around a billion people on it? Who see it scattered all around, for thousands of years.
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 4 weeks ago:
I guess foggy there means it’s “mildly” xenophobic when you don’t bother to get someone’s name right.
A lot of names got changed during immigration due to wilful xenophobia last century, for example. Xenakis to Johnson, etc.
Structural linguistic problems like not having notation for foreign pronunciation isn’t necessarily xenophobic, but failure to address the problem might be.

Well, for one thing, the supply of googly eyes will run out and you will have to adapt.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 5 weeks ago:
Gold is good as notation for big things, like an excavator and a dozen barrels of diesel. You can’t trade that shit for cucumbers and canned tuna.
You can use gold as an excellent long lasting conductor for electric equipment. You can make it very thin. It would make a comeback in basic dentistry, as you can actually eat it: it’s non-poisonous. Doesn’t tarnish. A smith can do a lot with gold.
Gold is a resource. That said, I don’t have any right now. Just some silver coins, and some packaged goods like knives and flour mills (business leftovers). Given the market insecurities now and gold’s all time high price, wish I did.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 5 weeks ago:
To clarify, when people colloquially refer to “the collapse of society” they don’t mean that all forms of society would cease to exist, but the failure of the nation state, or possibly the international order, and the long supply chains that go with it. Etc.
So society at various scales would still exist, in overlapping ways and jurisdictions. Basic units like neighbourhoods and firefighters and towns and regions would be organizing based on the old rules and adapting. People organize well in the absence of warlords, so that and extinction events are the threats to trade.
The value of trade goods might be indeterminate if a comet wipes nearly all of us out. Otherwise, many people love to dicker and argue about the value of things, so I’m pretty confident about rare raw materials like gold having both utility value and a reasonably inflated exchange value in a prolonged regional or international crisis.

Yes, and that’s exactly what everyone forgets about automating cognitive work. Knowledge needs to be intergenerational or we lose it.
If you have no junior developers, who will turn into senior developers later on?

- Comment on Building the PERFECT Linux PC with Linus Torvalds 1 month ago:
It was off, it’s LTT. It was intertainment with some interview.
Still, L.T. had fascinating things to say, and a refreshing down-to-earth outlook on things like data storage (keeps no files really, just uploads to git and lets others worry about whether it’s worth saving or not), a.i. (important, somewhat inevitable, overblown hype, horrible business practices), and how he geeks out playing with hardware designs for things that are completely out of his expertise so it’s low stress (e.g. guitar effect pedals but he doesn’t play).
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
Idiomatic usage breaks down into ‘familiar’, so, confusing intuition with knowledge, or ‘discoverable’, which is more accurate and describes things like icons and tooltips and menus, where the rules of usage become more or less apparent with exploration and logic.

Consider this: every record I play has a faint recording of the room, every time it has been played, since no turntable or cartridge is perfectly isolated, and, being diamond rubbing against vinyl, will leave some trace of the room sound behind.

It’s the underlying crux of the entire series, and even Foundation too. The Zeroeth law requires a massive war to develop it and still doesn’t solve the problem.

Usually just air quotes right. Well since people caught on to the ‘echo’ dog whistle of 3 brackets some racists moved to quotes too. I was just checking, so nvm, don’t let them try to steal that the way they did with the ok hand gesture.

Ah, OK then someone needs to tell you that the 3 quotes lately has been used by white supremacists as a dog whistle for jewishness, especially referring to economic control.
