mindbleach, to memes in Both beliefs are fine, but please realize the hypocrisy

One is obviously made-up by ancient peoples who knew fuck-all about the world, but insists it’s eternal truth beyond debate. Even the parts that contradict the other parts.

The other is an openly hypothetical idea based on what we expect is just beyond our current capabilities… and it relies on that we’re-just-atoms materialism.

“Oops.”

Machine code tells you what it’s doing. Source code tells you why.

Still wrong.

Incorrect.

mindbleach, to memes in Google “search”

‘We didn’t find many results matching the terms you wrote.’

THAT’S WHY I FUCKING WROTE THEM.

mindbleach, to memes in Google “search”

Open Watcom is a compiler for DOS. Every search engine will try ten ways to politely tell you that you obviously meant Wacom tablets, you illiterate goblin, and then shrug and direct you to the project’s own single-page FAQ.

Asking questions about DOS itself is even worse. Say you want the scan codes for arrow keys. Then say it a hundred more times, with increasing specificity and occasional vulgarity, because you are getting nothing but “how to use a terminal window in Windows.” Or at best, Ralph Brown’s big fat interrupt list, rearranged into the most Geocities-ass jumble of pages, where you can easily look up what any specific hex code does, once you already know which code to look for.

mindbleach, to privacy in [Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites?

Oh, so it’s just some other service knowing you, personally, visited a particular porn site.

And that’s completely immune to leaks or government snooping.

mindbleach, to privacy in [Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites?

But I also feel that any random kid shouldn’t be able to just go to these sites and see porn freely.

At some point, you have to ask - why?

If that’s the alternative to spying on everyone, I’m still opposed to spying on everyone. Unsupervised internet access leading kids to pornography certainly would not be new. It’s not the end of the world.

Just throw your warnings and have a click-through. It’ll be just as effective, much cheaper, and not leave bastard politicians salivating about their social control fetish.

… and that’s different from the service having a record of your photo ID?

mindbleach, to piracy in Amazon and Tolkein Estate force author to destroy all copies of his work. Only pirated copies will survive.

Working toward change, but not making normative statements or highlighting problems in rationale. Obviously a real copyright reformist goes around tutting at those “semantics” while parroting the status quo.

Troll harder.

‘The artist, the artist, the artist! And whoever owns their corpse. Same difference, right? Just semantics.

Every fucking thread with you cultists. Do you listen to yourself?

Suing the creators

JRR Tolkein has been dead for fifty years.

mindbleach, to memes in Never jammed out to an Adobe Pro patcher harder

Hearing those three notes of “Foregone Destruction” for the first time in umpteen years fired off a neuron that’d been hoarding the good chemicals.
