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.

I see. I apologize. I guess I lost that context while scrolling. I agree people shouldn’t get complacent by just pointing to some authority that on their own won’t change things.

So you’re just… pointing out facts about international law in the thread about protesters trying to break a siege–what, for fun? I don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish.

Obviously various authorities and people are in disagreement over what is right/legal for the people of Gaza. That’s not something we’re confused about. We just by and large side with the people of Gaza.

Anyway, we all process differently, so I’m not trying to imply that you have ill intent. But that’s why people are reacting negatively to your comment. Obviously ANY authority that sides with the people of Gaza is going to be one we side with, even if US/Canada/Israel/etc does not recognise them.

Do fastfood next.

But no, I’m not getting into that fight with you, because it’s an argument without heart meant only to sap the will of people to oppose a very real and concerted genocide.

What do you propose to stop the genocide instead of morally defensible illegal acts?

I’ve been yelling at that AWS cloud ever since they started becoming the standard for enterprise. Glad to see sanity prevails somewhere anyway

I love alliteration. And puns, especially the multilingual kind 👹

Do you see how these two are not equivalent though? One is an aggressive campaign exterminate a people, that can be stopped if just slightly more political will is mustered.

Already, the tide is turning and you have even mainstream voices yapping at Israel to cease.

What is this, the card says moops?? Oh pardon me, by all means, carry on with the unprecedented genocide!

The UN is often on the right side of these things, so anyone who cares about human life, human rights, states rights, or international fraternity, would naturally align themselves to that consensus.

People of conscience disagree with the morality of this “blockade,” which is a nice weasel word by the way, when really what’s happening is people of Gaza are being exterminated while under total siege.
