The dude has had long enough to learn how to mask.

Autistic people go to therapy to stop masking. Masking is wrong and bad.

Their views were in general along the lines that there are poor people and there are rich people. Poor people owe nobody nothing (including respect to property rights, personal space, privacy and so on), and are owed everything. Rich people vice versa, it's them paying with rights for their asocial riches.

Now who's poor is not absolute, it's who owns less than deserved, and what's deserved is big for their friends and similar-minded people. And who's rich is the same, but owning more than deserved, and if they don't like you, you deserve less.

It's the kind of people who love Stalin.

Sorry, backwards culture. I live in Russia, participants of discussions in the Web in any place outside of main social media are mostly male. And when they are not, you can detect women by being more polite and tactful, but caring less about orthography than the rest (that's empirical, can't say why). Partner preference - same reason.

I like wasting my time on lost causes, I think I'm not the only one.

I'm more of an elf than a troll, but there are various readings of mythology

You go first, indie_asps.jpg

Oh, we are being enthusiastic about the state boot again.

I mean, since corps are already using it to their ends, then it'd be probably a good thing to stomp them right back with that boot.

But I'd like a clean humanist solution more.

That'd involve, for example, commissioning a FOSS P2P post-Web system which would replace Google's and Facebook's and others' services. A few dozens of nation states, not poorest on Earth, could do that.

That system would be simpler and cheaper than their missiles and jet planes and drones, while so tremendously useful to kill once and for all this particular threat.

Like those Locutus and ghost keys things, which are not a working thing yet, but very promising.

There is an opinion that this is what allows corporate and other power to exist legally. Otherwise it'd just all go Al Capone again, not vanish nor diminish.

Not in Retroshare or Freenet or I2P. They do have such people, of course.

My free speech absolutism would be in separating community moderation from actual physical instances.

Say, a P2P system where you subscribe to a community (somehow identified) and the "deleted" comments and "banned" users are that because of there being a "delete" record signed by that community.

With distributed storage, but storage a user contributes being used only by communities they subscribe to, so not like Freenet with every user probably storing one or two blocks of CP files.

EDIT: That would allow everyone to verify moderators' honesty and fairness, which would be beneficial to moderators themselves, but at the same time in practice you'd have easy moderation.

OK, please care even less so to not litter my inbox

I was banned a few times for saying something like that if some politician of some country consciously does a thing which costs Armenian lives, or, say, "recognizes territorial integrity of Azerbaijan", they are fair game for Armenians. That technically they make a choice they have right to make, or that their country has some interests, etc are reasons, but not excuses.

I mean, people are responsible for the actions they take. It's not extremism.

french only works as a means of communication because it has internal rules that are objective (as in different people understand the same/very similar thing when hearing/seeing a symbol/word).

No, natural languages are not objective, they have semantics, contexts, all that.

reducing human experience to a blackbox kind of singularity is a highly individualist take.

Bombastic! I'm definitely and individualist and I don't want to have anything in common with collectivists.

You can work on understanding each other without forcing anyone to fit into your definition…

Which is what's individualism all about.

I've had people clueless about tech tell me that:

using Linux and not buying Windows I rob MS's developers,

not doing things the way big corporations want I deprive them of profits and thus rob their workers,

using your own device the way you want it is a crime if you have to bypass what the vendor does,

GPL and BSD licenses are not real sovereign citizen stuff, and if I'm not paying someone for software, I'm robbing the working class,

repairing things yourself in your house is robbing people working in those trades,

reading things in the Web is robbing university professors and book store workers and publishers,

having to learn a particular technology while doing my task at work means I'm a fraud and rob my employer or our clients, because apparently I have to keep all the today's tech in my head before needing any of it,

if I don't know some single thing another person knows, they are obviously better qualified than me (say, that other person can write Windows device drivers, while the job is about systems integration),

...

and I don't remember more stupid shit from those people and I don't want to, but generally being not a dumb ape in today's world is considered suspicious apparently.

After that wonderful experience I might be silent about my views with people usually, but really I'll never stop being anarchist (whatever kind of anarchism that is).

Does "the free world" include Kemalist Turkey, Pinochet's Chile, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Israel?

I'm really not that keen on the subject who's worse, but calling something "the free world" gets me every time.

EDIT: Obviously didn't mention every European colonial power, like UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, of which some have done pretty Nazi shit long after 1945.

If you've ever refused a girl or remained silent where she waited to hear something in this direction from you, it's voluntary.

Unless you mean medical problems, which still don't prevent some sort of interaction which is arguably not celibate. It's not all about dcks and cnts.

im sorry for being this rude, but Fuck of with that bullshit excuse.

No you're not, and no I won't.

I have Asbergers aswell, and have been arround a lot of other Autists.

Well, I hadn't, except for my sister, so, especially back then, I was desperately trying to have social things other have by effort.

Going into offensive in that could look similar to what Musk posted.

and at worst it could be considered a thinly veiled rape theat.

At worst. I first took it as a very awkward attempt to seem magnanimous\friendly, plus Musk's weird ideas about healthy relationships.

Anyway, can he fulfill that threat were it a threat? No? Then it'd be similar to what 4chan inhabitants write. Inappropriate is not the same as evil. Though I guess he and the Internet would both benefit from cutting ties.

As somebody with Aspergers i feel downright insulted that you attempted to blame this on ‘the sperg’.

Well, sorry, but since I wasn't aiming for you, irrelevant.

hes in his 50s for gods sake.

The say older people are more like kids, ha-ha-ha

You are way too fucking serious and judgemental.

There are both much safer (than Chernobyl or Fukushima or whatever) reactor models and fast-neutron reactors that can reduce the amount of spent fuel to be stored.

About reasonable and cost-effective alternatives - with bigger storage expenses and grid losses.

IMHO a good grid has at the same time a few nuclear stations (no, not those which will be inevitably shut down, but those which are being prolonged or replaced as the time passes), a huge amount of renewable sources, storage to alleviate spikes\falls of said renewable sources and backup coal stations.

And German grid is connected to a few others, so that they themselves have gotten rid of nuclear energy doesn't matter much, with unified grids.

And we are shutting down — not building — ... nuclear plants.

Morons. Managed to almost descend to his level. No, that's not sportsmanship.

Google says he has Asperger's, which would make this, eh, kinda normal.

When I was 16, I wouldn't be able to have a mutually consensual romantic conversation without saying something that cringed even myself out remembering it the next day.

Nothing worth feeling bad for will collapse.

People are not willing to get ads into every orifice, just nobody's asking them. Ad blockers are reactive.

Bigger businesses will feel more pain, I can promise you that. Smaller businesses do not benefit from this ecosystem, quite the opposite - it heats up those who pay more for advertising, or those who are partners with those doing advertising.

As of payments again - when you are getting ads into your face with a message that you can pay to use something without them, you naturally feel against it.

I haven't yet read the article, but it may well be a comparison for which Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris can be united under the Unix umbrella as systems with monolithic kernels and similar conventions. Of course FreeBSD is much cooler than Linux and Solaris is much cooler than FreeBSD, but we get what we get.
