I need that shirt.

@sun
Well, rule thirty-four is about to make this a lot more entertaining.

I mean, looking at that cover it kind of writes itself.

Here I am still making DHTML sites with pseudo-static URIs and hand written PHP in procedural paradigm (fuck objects if you love them so much) with unobtrusive JavaScript and fallbacks for script blocking.

I hated web 2.0 and I hate everything as it exists in "modern" web "development".

It's cancer.

I love how this degenerated so rapidly, but having seen a fair number of animal vaginas in my day (thanks, internet) I have to say that the human vagina is by far the most aesthetically appealing.

Let's just take our victory lap at having the best vulva and not fuck with perfection.

The variety of flowers out there aside, the human vulva and everything encapsulated by the colloquialisms therein, are far and away the most attractive.

@sun
Think a large language model could crack it?

I'd bet someone's already on it.

That makes sense, really.

If fragmentation is sin, then random reads/writes are to be avoided.

The challenge with this OS is that it forces a new paradigm for how things are used: imagine not the internet, but some other way in which computers connect and communicate, why they would need to, and how that would happen without the complex and somewhat pointless ideas of modern internet.

Protocols aren't golden hammers, but they try to be.

@p @i @feld @mint @j @KuteboiCoder
I think there should be a device, open sourced and cheap/easy to construct, maybe fully solderless, that is purpose made to run TempleOS.

Rest in peace Terry, but I think he would have wanted this to be a tool in everybody's kit, a ubiquitous and special purpose toy not much unlike car or gun hobbyists.

Like Doom, I'm sure TempleOS can run on just about anything, modern CPUs can practically hold the whole thing in L3 cache.

I pledge to burn 20 tons of Amazon rain forest this… shit, it's September, ok next year.

@sun
Consider also the lost concept of milestone releases and real versioning.

One of the aspects of the hell of FOSS is the constant micro updates in lieu of discrete updates.

It's like these alleged programmers just figure the nightly channel is stable so they push it to main every day.

@sun
There's a counterpoint to that I believe is valid: a lot of updates break things—I would say it feels like all of them, and make things worse, and so fundamentally the idea of updates has become a contested aspect of being an end user.

Either way, the problem looks like laziness on the part of a programmer.

@sun
So what you're saying could be summarized as an ounce of laziness by a developer causes the pounds of problems for end users?

It's kind of like the reason everything new sucks really is just piss poor quality programmers.

@lain
Yes, but only if you're talking about her feet or armpits, everything else is normie territory.

@j
My machinist experience tells me that the answer to her question is no:

Knife perforation has a single downside which is tool wear.

In plasma cutting we're talking about a single point of plasma cutting many small slits in one line before proceeding to the next row.

She was taught theory, not practical application nor the process of choosing production methods.

A reciprocating knife/punch can be automated with very little power and very high speed for very low cost.

@waltercool
I've always had a “hotdog water” opinion of Musky: he's a decent business and obviously a nerd and a troll, but he's just (((rich))) and that's why people know who he is.

When I first heard of “grimes” it was in the context that she didn't release lyrics because she was “experimenting with voice as an instrument” as if that's not what music is.

So when I say that this legal document sounds like a joke from the something awful forums, read that document in this voice.

@sun
You're definitely not mad enough.

Just imagine how mad you'll need to be when you find out who buys it.

I say this having never used the platform at all, and only experienced it through the curating of its content by viewers like you.

Thank you for sharing, by the way, I had no idea people with brains.

That's the whole thought, I was shocked to discover anyone out there could think.

“I hope you all learned something, bye now.”

He's the Mr. Rogers of tech repair until he comes unhinged.

@sun @jeffcliff
That's a possibility, now that you mention it.

I hadn't considered ineffective vaccines as a vector of transmission, I would have hoped dairy farmers would be careful of what they're giving their cattle.

Come to think of it, raw milk in my state is illegal except under very specific circumstances so I'm confident that the few instances where raw milk is accessible would have better cared for cattle.

I'll have to dig into their dataset when I have time.

@jeffcliff @sun
Let's not conflate the governments with the private entities which decide these things; let's also distinguish between a psy-op and the real intentional inoculation of people with these influenza strains as part of some ill understood clandestine plan.

The best information I have is that the very serious H5N1 influenza strain—all influenza infections being potentially lethal—isn't being transmitted by raw milk.

I welcome more information on this matter, if you would share it.

Let's take a look at this very early research.

Well, as I see it these methods are very flawed.

Allow me to explain my concerns.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12250-020-00230-5

The measurement of 7.33 log10 TCID50/ml is incredibly odd, it's basically at the limits of detection, I have no idea why they'd use the log10 range unless it was to skew results.

It's clear that they isolated the virus from the samples before the mice experiment.

Also, it proves intentional spread.

@jeffcliff @sun
If you have a different interpretation of the data I would love to discuss that with you.

I'll have time to go over these things in more detail Wednesday afternoon, as today I'm rather busy enjoying my day off.

I hope you also have a nice day, and I look forward to your correspondence.
