   @redstarfish Who the hell reads a "Computer Science Journal" anymore? This is 2024. Put your code on Github, your presentation on YouTube, and your pdf on Twitter/wherever.

     @redstarfish Not many legitimate ones that's for sure.
     
     I wouldn't bother completing in a competition about paper presentation in a format that is designed to be poor at presentation.

     @gentoobro It's amazing that you think I won't see you glowing as bright as the sun, as you push that proprietary degeneracy corporate shill.
     
     You should make your code available on a free git host like codeberg or better host a free git host like cgit on your server, your presentation available on peertube and/or as a .webm file on your webserver and your pdf available from whatever freedom-respecting file host or better, available for download from your webserver.

     @gentoobro >wtf are you smoking?
     I'm smoking GNU/Freedom.
     
     >Do you not see the "notabug.org" in my bio?
     You did NOT recommend that - you recommended github.
     
     >The "gentoo" in my name?
     That is a proprietary distribution full of many nonfree installation recipes, although it's possible to use that distro in freedom if you fight for it and I call that Gentoo-libre.
     
     >Can you not mentally substitute whatever specific website or service for the genericized names of big services I used?
     github, youtube and twitter are SPECIFIC proprietary software and SaaSS combinations you recommended and the trademarks have NOT been genericized.
     
     If you didn't mean specific proprietary software, you would have written "git host", "video host" and "file host", but you didn't.
     
     >If someone asks for a Kleenex, do you throw a tard fit about the Kimberly Clark corporation, or do you hand them a tissue?
     I pass them a tissue and tell them to stop shilling for a specific tissue corporation.
     
     >cgit sucks.
     It doesn't surprise me that you have shit taste.

     @Suiseiseki wtf are you smoking? Do you not see the "notabug.org" in my bio? The "gentoo" in my name? Can you not mentally substitute whatever specific website or service for the genericized names of big services I used? If someone asks for a Kleenex, do you throw a tard fit about the Kimberly Clark corporation, or do you hand them a tissue?

     Also, cgit sucks. Might as well just use an nginx directory listing and a clone url, it'd be about as useful.

     @Suiseiseki Since you seem young, let me help you out a bit. Your response was such a soft troll that I'm bored of the direct banter already. Here's some pointers:

     I'm smoking GNU/freedom

     Should have just let that one slide. It was a light introductory personal insult to set the tone for my response. You don't get any troll points for a shitty earnest reply. A better response would have been "The crack that you glowies sell in the ghetto", if you were going to respond at all. It chains off your first insult nicely.

     nonfree installation recipies, etc.

     Nobody cares. Gentoo is widely seen as a FOSS-friendly, non-glowing distro, which is why I used it in my response to your first troll. A better comeback would have been "Gentoo. Nice cover. Luring people in to think that compiling from source somehow makes your NSA backdoors go away."

     ... SPECIFIC ...

     My previous message accused you of being a wordcel and your reply merely reinforced it. Instead, you should have taken the argument that using genericized (in the general, not legal, sense) names for services only serves to reinforce their marketing efforts. I would probably respond that nobody knows what the other services are, and then you could reply "Exactly. Because people like you, who know better, continue to prop up Big Tech." See how that could have bent into your favor?

     Kleenex

     Once again, this was just an insult, a way of mocking you, as is part of the banter game. As this is the closing insult (before the last little jab), you should also close your response with another insult in kind. Maybe something about bootlicking, or perhaps accuse me of being a paid shill since that would open other attack avenues later on. "Does your CIA handler pay you per trademark used like that guy from Idiocracy, or do you just like sucking corpo cock? Maybe you're so used to it that you don't even notice anymore".

     shit taste

     Now there you go! Good job, the only well-crafted jab in your reply. Keep it up. As a reward, I'll actually respond to that one:

     What would you know about taste, poser? I bet you aren't even writing your own git web-server software from scratch in C in your spare time. https://notabug.org/yzziizzy/git_webstack/
