Damn, there goes Linux as my retro computing target.

Guess I’ll be porting dahdi to netbsd soon lol.

Tbf, I get why Linux is dropping all this stuff. I wouldn’t mind becoming a maintainer of smaller drivers myself, but I doubt I have the skill level.

Why? Would you rather be a starving peasant with less rights that you currently have?

> Trump could say we all should get more exercise and folks would say somehow exercise is bad for you.

No I’d say he’s a fat hypocrite lol.

Nothing more ironic then fat dementia patients trying to lecture you on health. Or junkies, or Turkish pill hucksters.

Hey, erlang is brilliant

Silicon Valley must be destroyed to save America. Gladly more are waking up to this. There’s been a surge on both the right and left in my state of people wanting to reject the place and it’s disgusting “culture”.

> people realized they just do what they're told by authority and they're not the free-thinking individuals they thought they were

Nah, no one who seriously thought this has come around to the truth.

> The AI I dreamed of my whole life is being built, engineer-type strongmen are sort of in charge

Not sure the sort of pedophilic drug addicts running Silicon Valley companies really evoke the idea of an “engineer type strongman”. But I understand that colloquially “strongman” most means “paranoid loudmouth”.

Maybe this was the case when the researchers themselves had a small level of clout/influence, but I’ve seen more product acquisition announcements recently from AI than deep technical improvements.

> Can we move on to more important and substantive topics? Something something files.

Oh no too many of the powerful establishment democrats are friendly with the esteemed bankers, politicians and business leaders in those files.

God I wish. I love retro computing. There’s just so much more variety. Sadly I know I’m not the person for those sort of roles lol.

> A digital platform where, every day, visitors sacrifice themselves at altars of delusion and misery, their minds fully disintegrating on contact.

Zuckerberg already did it.

> It used to be this kind of thing was - maybe not exceptional, but certainly not expected.

What shocks me is how open they’ve become about it.

The people are too fat and impotent to care. Plus the average retard will convince themselves that it’s something only the other guy will do.

Meanwhile, once upon a time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)

These men didn’t let a little threats and intimidation stop them, though tbf they just returned from a war.

And if your karma is high enough, he’ll let you flamebait in the political threads even!

> Perhaps an overhaul of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Corporate Personhood, Limited Liability, Business Judgment Rule, and any other Antitrust Protections, that harm citizens without destroying the fabric of society is in order.

I’d say the likelihood of that is about as likely as the Communists dream of revolution.

There are two societies. The one you exist in, and the one that the people crafting this kind of legislation. It’s harmful to your society, but beneficial to theirs.

> You can now work on things that are more valuable

So can any other idiot. And we only need so many of them.

I certainly feel several degrees dumber than I did as a teenager without that stuff

Isn’t this was social workers are for?

I thought this was partly intentional to discourage DXM tripping. Same reason the only opioid they seem to give anyone now is the shitty hydrocodone/acetaminophen mix.

> Just five years ago, saying that the state of Israel is the problem would have you branded an anti-semite and driven out of polite society and rightly so. As a non-Jew, I find the reawakening of these sentiments horrifying.

Yes, but society is no longer polite. I hope the memes were worth it.

Nah the execs want feudalism, they should get all the things that come with feudalism.

> The only way far left policies are ever enacted is by a top-down insider's club of elites who think they know best for everyone else.

Kinda like the pedowood actors and financiers on the establishment left/right screaming at young men about how they need to die in some stupid war between two rapist dessert tribes.

It’s the same on the right. If all you have to offer is the same corrupt schmucks, people will vote for the more extreme option out of spite

It’s a bunch of arrogant geezers desperate to put one of their own on the throne. They’ll probably try to nominate Hillary again and afterwards they’ll sleep the rest of the day.

Seems to be jobs program. I ended up in defense after a year of being out of work and while all the new grads were desperate and destitute, we were steadily hiring new juniors out of school.

I’ve heard stories from years ago about some of the waste being protected because it we weren’t producing tanks in excess of what we need, some small town in Ohio would lose a ton of jobs and their congressmen his job.

Well now they can do something economically useful, like Walmart greeter.

> it got rid of a lot of empty landscape copiers.

Hey now, HN would have you believe these guys are the pinnacle of art.

The only way to save America at this point is to take a raw power of the US military and focus it to destroy Silicon Valley.

They are the biggest enemies of the people, the nation, and everything else people ever pretended to care about in this country. Leveling it, and beasts running is our only hope.

These people snort a line of adderall, start writing, and call it a ”maifesto”.

> Metrology, mechanical and materials science engineering, manufacturing and tool engineering, precision engineering, and electrical and electronics engineering, combined with being a generalist and having one specialization in physical or hardware engineering along with computation.

Now how does one get that if they aren’t an 18 year old in college with years and gorillions of dollars in government money to blow on an EE/CE program.

> Join the Army. Become a Combat Engineer Sergeant.

I guess the enlistment age has been raised to 42 so this may actually be a realistic option for more people on this site lol.

Of course I was born just in time to be loaded up on psych meds as a child, so the military didn’t want me.
