Time to call the exorcist.

Why the actual fuck 73 years? (It was exactly 73 years, right? Not like 72 years, 362 days, 7 hours or something, right?) Some power of two or power of ten would make more sense, right?

I suppose it’s possible that 73 years is exactly a power of two nanoseconds or something? (In fact, it looks to be very close to 2^61 nanoseconds. log_base_2(73*365.2425*24*60*60*1000*1000*1000) is 60.998632. The difference from exactly 61 could be because 365.2425 isn’t sufficiently precise for the number of days in a year.)

But then, if there was going to be a single-bit corruption in the time, it’s really weird and coincidental that it would be the specific bit that’s makes it almost exactly an even-number of years. So that seems unlikely as well.

I’m stumped, but curious as fuck.

You’re really asking why people prefer Lemmy to 4chan? To 4chan!? Really?

They “opened an investigation with the allegation of fraud, but no criminal charges were brought.” So, yeah. They at least had some reason to think he was doing this intentionally.

Clearly designed by architects.

(That’s the second time I’ve made that exact joke in a week.)

After giving me the quote, did nothing and then tried to take credit when I did the work myself.

Ah. Accelerationism.

I honestly don’t know what you mean by any of these. What do you mean by “tabs”? What “tags” do usernames have on them? What do you mean by “the downvotes have disappeared?”

Vi.

Honestly, Vim is too heavy for me. I wish I could get a reasonable text editor with:

• No built-in programming languages.
• Vi(m)-style modal editing and keys.
• No GUI. Terminal is good, thanks.
• Not a lot of moving parts.
• Infinite undo. (I’m ambivolent about an undo/redo “tree” feature like Vim has.)
• Visual mode like Vim has.
• Simple syntax highlighting would be a plus, but not a must-have.
• Stable. As in doesn’t crash.

Vim fails on #1, #4, and #7. (It has syntax highlighting, but not simple highlighting.)

I usually just use the vi that is pre-installed on Arch Linux. (I use Arch Linux btw. Bite me. 😈) But it fails on #5, #6, #7, and #8. (It segfaults randomly a lot.) But I guess those issues haven’t been deal breakers enough to make me switch to something else.

I have used nvi in the past. I ended up leaving it for the Arch pre-installed vi. Don’t remember particuarly why now.

Maybe one day I’ll write my own text editor and ascend to full neckbeardhood.

'Bout time.

You’re eating the onion. I could see some government agency deciding that they as an agency would standardize on tabs, though even that would be a stretch. But not the White House.

Anyone else here have to endure IBM AS/400 at their workplace?

Try not to leave the house too much. For four years.

• Yes.
• Yes.
• Basically because influence in the senate isn’t scaled by population? I can get behind that. Any other reasons?
• Why? (Aside from that it’s stuffed with Trump appointees and insurrectionists right now, I mean.)
• Hadn’t heard of this before, but what little I’m seeing about it sounds good.
• Obviously.
• I’m definitely not up on this one.
• Maybe, but only if we introduce something else that’ll have rich people actually paying taxes (for real). Otherwise, reform income tax.

And ones you’ve neglected:

• Abolish corporate personhood
• Wealth tax
• UBI
• Constitutionally-protected reproductive rights
• Abolish 2A
• Abolish private prisons
• Abolish forced labor

And if we’re allowed to include things probably well outside the Overton Window:

• Abolish private property, prison, cops, military, borders, employment, the profit motive, corporations
• To each according to need

That’s just off the top of my head.

Are companies like Google and Conde Nast trying to criminalize ad blocking and apps like NewPipe yet?

Bean, stroganoff, and poop-holding cards when?

Also, Xavier: Renegade Angel. And… are acorns the new thing or am I missing something?

That would blur the line between “intended behavior” and “glitch” so much.

Like, imagine NPCs breaking the fourth wall.

Seeing this comment upvoted so much gives me hope for humanity.
