Bill Gates

Just a reminder that he's not associated with M$FT dealings in any way anymore.

It's all mask-off for Satya though, he used to at least play a reasonable persona.

From my experience, most software corpo employees are just tired parents with mortgages. Like the vast, vast majority. The higher up the pyramid you look the more cultish the vibes, though.

vaguely libertarian computer programming intern to radicalized full-stack anarchist

I just have to ask, is full-stack here referring to the programmer path, or is it "full-stack anarchist"? If the latter, I need an explainer of which part of anarchism is the back-end and which the front, and also where can I find the job postings.

I'm a backend developer and jesus fucking christ, 500KB? That's around the weight of code in an actual programming language for a mid-sized project, and front-end needs that much just for CSS? And CSS isn't even that verbose.

The whole Rust compiler is like 10MB and that's a huge codebase, including all the documentation and shit.

One more reason front-end work never clicked with me I guess

We span the wide range of people who intimately know what NRx beliefs are and how to define it, to me, who just knows they suck and are the worst and somehow literally every single bad idea in my lifetime can be traced back to them.

I'm not really in on distros and related drama (strong "just fucking use Debian stable" camp), why did Red Hat get told to fuck off from the kernel?

It's hard for me to even imagine a more apt description of a privileged silver-spoon moron than thinking straw is waste and people would pay you to get rid of it.

Human minds are amazing, I can't even hypothesise what thought processes, if any, led him there

The machines are super-humanly good at the things they’re good at. That’s not too surprising; so is a forklift.

Amazing quote, I'm gonna steal it.

Where is my Big Forklift lobby. What's your P(doom) from forklifts lifting us so high we escape the atmosphere and all die. Should there be a ban on forklift development?

Hey, haven't seen a proof of god's non-existence today yet, thanks!

extreme psychic damage trap

Submissives, I want you to start planning your New Year’s Eve now. Make sure you have some time alone, or some time with a partner who fully accepts your wonderful nature. But most of all, I want you wet, or hard, and especially obedient, starting now. And I want you to know how much I enjoy putting you in this state of mind. It starts now, but will get more intense by Thursday night. Expect to be a quivering, throbbing, wet mess by then.

How did that make you feel?

Queasy.

This is quite literally "creep discovers dirty-talking, thinks it's a superpower even though he's terrible at it".

EDIT: From Part 3:

So today I am only talking to the perhaps 20% of you who were turned off by this series.

Bwahahahaha! That's some funny shit mate, I've seen many bollocks number straight from between them buttocks, but this is fuckin' choice.

If you see a train entering a tunnel, think of it as nothing but transportation.

Hey mate, I think... I think that's what most normal people do? I sometimes imagine an action hero standing on top and fighting a villain before the tunnel slams them in the heads but that's just me. What do you think about, Scott? Don't answer that. please
