What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

reverendsteveii,

Ryan Reynolds’s only role in film is as Ryan Reynolds. This coming from a fan who is very excited for Jason Lee to play him in the biopic.

reverendsteveii,

you seem to have created a false dichotomy where it’s impossible to fix bad code without being abusive. would you like me to call you “dumb motherfucker” or is this explanation enough?

reverendsteveii, (edited )

I didn’t miss the sin. The sin isn’t relevant to me. You don’t treat people like that. Whatever you hope to accomplish, you can accomplish without treating people like that. If someone else is being abusive, that’s not license for you to be abusive in response. If a cop was abusing their power would you expect the chief of police to publicly berate and insult him, or would you expect the standards to be enforced without resorting to that?

When you abuse someone for being abusive you don’t make it clear that abuse is unacceptable. In fact, you do the opposite. You establish that abuse is a part of your culture. If I was considering contributing to the kernel and saw this exchange, I’d walk away. I don’t need that shit, not from Mauro, not from Linus, not from the Lord hisownself. It damages the organization long-term.

reverendsteveii,

looks like every day is a great day to not work on the linux kernel

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

reverendsteveii,

Please read 1984. That’s where this term comes from. You’re living through a combination of it and Brave New World.

reverendsteveii,

at least we get bumblepuppies and soma (tiktok and marijuana)

The steam deck is how you prevent piracy. If you look at the huge influx of streaming services, you’ll see an example of how you encourage piracy. I recently dropped three of my services in favor of one pirate site that has almost everything. They even offer a subscription tier and I’ve considered it. I’m willing to pay for good content. What I’m not willing to do is pay dozens of middlemen across multiple companies to rip off the people who actually make my favorite shows and then memory hole the shows a few months after they premiere.

reverendsteveii,

what happened to chapelle is the same thing that happens to so many has-beens: they realize that if they start parroting right wing talking points they don’t have to be funny or talented or anything like that and they’ll get instant access to an audience that will buy anything that affirms their worldview.

reverendsteveii,

blue cheese has mold in it

you have shit in you.

reverendsteveii,

Well how else are we supposed to encourage people to be related to people who develop intellectual property? It makes sense from a neponomic standpoint.

reverendsteveii,

SAM-in

reverendsteveii,

you both it!

reverendsteveii,

Piling on to this, part of what makes MAM great is that you get bonus points for seeding even if no one is downloading. Just keep your torrents running indefinitely and it won’t be long before you have free VIP forever, a 10:1 ration and still end up with more points than you could possibly give away

reverendsteveii,

depends, when you’re done “stealing” it does the original owner still have it? you’re making the same mistake that this phrase was meant to address: that infinitely replicable goods aren’t the same as physical, exclusive goods.

reverendsteveii,

Once again: if paying for it isn’t owning it, then not paying for it isn’t stealing it.

reverendsteveii,

this got so out of hand at my local fest that they decided to do time traveller’s weekend as a theme. this year we went, and my costume was a cave man who hit his head on a tree branch while chasing a rabbit, woke up here and is amazed by everything

reverendsteveii,

you mean friend-wolf? friend-wolf not food!

reverendsteveii,

well, there’s confusion, paranoia, agitation and so many others…

reverendsteveii,

our biggest client prefers data as Jason so we swapped half of our database to that

the app I work with currently stores json as the only column in a sql table and it hurts me so very much. like watching someone pick up a screwdriver and try to bash a nail in with the handle.

reverendsteveii,

reverendsteveii,

were part of the “Giza Mass Autism Array”

*will be part of

remember that the Finno-Korean Hyperwar is going to have been the war where we first learn how to manipulate chronodirectionality.

reverendsteveii,

What a fun joke!

So fun!

reverendsteveii,

heaven

lol

reverendsteveii,

I wanna quibble with this just a little bit. People work. Left to their own devices, with their needs met, people will dedicate their energy toward generating value.

What no one wants to do is a job, which is an arrangement by which several of us have to do more in exchange for less so one of us can do nothing all day and then complain that “nobody wants to work anymore”.
