Someone will (probably _is_) going to take you to task that restricting access to information is child abuse. But I agree. You are deliberately creating a mind poorly equipped to handle external reality, and that is a first step towards controlling their mind.

Sounds fun.
Partial knowledge games are often fun. But casinos hate them because losers ("marks", "clients", "victims" ; terms vary) can legally win by skillful play.
I assume there is a Hollywood assassin who kills scriptwriters who use any game but poker.

He's not dead.
He's taken his tradecraft to the next level.

(I'd say he's following "Ghost Protocol", but the MI franchise have co-opted that one.)

@cstross Translucent card played. Good one.
Now why didn't I see that coming?

@cstross

I need a techbrodude with infinite money. I want to sell him the idea of transparent cards for unarguably-fair cheating-free card games.

Then, after the cheque has cleared, while drinking fresh mango juice, shipwrecked and comatose, I intend to watch him suffer infinite Internet scorn.

It *is* more fun than pulling the wings off flies, and more ethically defensible too.

Does anyone have an estimated date for the Iranian truck-nuke to detonate in downtown (Americaville ; details don't matter).

That's what you get by decapitation - all the independent snakes virtue-signalling amongst themselves.

I'll put my pint-voucher on May Day. Because America's "communist!" reflex will misdirect the retaliation onto one of their (America's) nominal allies.

Quick check : name the 3 nearest defibrillators to your current location.

@ghul @pkal GPL v2 was, IIRC, about 1988?
Which was well into the era of binary blobs on ROMs, game cartridges, etc. The question of "hardware controlled by built-in software" was live long before then, and GPL didn't cover it of choice.
In 1988, I was installing highly propriatory SW updates at work with a screwdriver and 2 ROMs on the 8088 industrial SBC.

How good are *transplanted* livers at regenerating?

Asking for @try2@inconvenient.relative.mortuary.soon

@nex @marmarta @cstross

Oh, that blissful youth. When "I've read the MAN files" could equate - inside your head - with "I understand the application".

Should we disilusion it/them, or let rude experience do the job?
