That’s fine. There will always be some niche / industrial software that someone needs Windows for.

Yeah.

I mean I didn’t buy $15 in bitcoin 15 years ago (have never bought any, never will), and I’m not obsessed about it.

Is it really any different for this guy?

I don’t necessarily dislike “AI” but I reserve the right to be derisive about inappropriate use, which seems to be pretty much every use.

Using AI to find pertoglyphs in Peru was cool. Reviewing medical scans is pretty great. Everything else is shit.

If it doesn’t work then quick cheap and easy I’d pointless.

I’ll make you dinner every night for free but one night a week it will make you ill. Maybe a little maybe a lot.

You raise a good point.

I’m much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don’t seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it’s just part of the show.

The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that “some” ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn’t have been aware of otherwise. I’ll take blissful ignorance thanks.

So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.

Yeah this is me. It’s been just perfect for many years now.

There’s just no way I’m ever going to do this.

Honestly, I’d rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.

Naming things is complicated.

It’s not really a case where some organisation has the authority to name something. Rather people just call something a name, and organisations adopt that name.

I’m not sure if displaying a swastika is banned, if it is I wasn’t aware of that.

Most states banned the salute. The federal govt recently banned it too, with mandatory incarceration.

If only there were some way you could kind of refer viewers to the primary documentation for the project.

It’s not that it’s uncommon, but slightly different for each project.

I collated library would be kinda cool.

That said, I don’t know how much utility this project would have.

Settle down mate.

I didn’t say defaced websites are going to take down the government.

My implication was that it would be more effective than ranting on social media.

Yeah. I’ve only spent a few moments skimming through the linked article but if you were part of a legitimate hacktivism group planning a significant operation why would you publish this statement ?

It’s really just spooky hyperbole - as though written by an adolescent that want’s to sound scary and powerful.

I would absolutely love to see hacktivists cause some chaos, and maybe even some real financial harm.

I’m not going to write off hacktivism so quickly.

Even if it’s just a few defaced websites now and then, that’s a whole lot more effective than any other sort of activism I’ve seen to date.

Settle down pet. Of course I know what I meant but I’m concerned that you do not.

That’s not really what I’m saying… at all.

Everyone encounters unsolvable problems, whether or not they favor thought terminating cliches. However, we also encounter problems which only appear to be unsolvable. My point is, if you take the attitude that “it is what it is”, you’ll never know the difference.

You can call me captain solveitall if you wish, but I suspect that won’t make you any less miserable.

I can’t believe I have to say this but “I’m not going to attempt to resolve this” is not the same as “I have not made any attempt to resolve this”.

Honestly though, you’re very welcome to continue spouting dumb phrases like “it is what it is” if you find that helpful.

I didn’t say there was no attempt.

Saying you have nothing else to say or do is “thought terminating” you’re stifling discussion rather than encouraging investigation of potential solutions.

The problem with thought terminating cliches like “it is what is is”, is that it promotes lazy thinking.

You may as well say "I’ve encountered another problem which I’m not going to attempt to resolve. "

Yeah well, it wasn’t intended to be all positive.

I migrated all my stuff (small business) to mxroute because I couldn’t justify the cost for fasmtail.
