I understand why we must recognise and applaud the philanthropy of kind, selfless souls like Elon Musk but don’t you think we’re being a little unfair to historic philanthropists by focussing so much of our love and admiration on our current benefactors?
Take Louis XIV, for example. “Louis was sincere about protecting his subjects' souls and throughout his reign encouraged charitable giving.” Brings a tear to my eye, it does… show Louis some love, y’all!

the industry has stagnated to the point that we’re now regressing to inefficient interpreted languages and 80s style flat UIs. there’s no more serious research into distributed systems, new memory models, or human interface design taking place. the handful of people left who still care are struggling to maintain what we had 20 years ago. computers have never been more unpleasant to work with
@loke I don't think that's true. Andrew Lee just recently registered the domain libera.net, which used to belong to a Spanish ISP back from 2000, but went out of business.
irc.libera.net is now a CNAME to chat.freenode.net.
This appears to be a clear attempt at muddying the waters in hopes of getting new IRC users on the Freenode network, rather than Libera.Chat. It looks to me like he's desperate as Freenode is bleeding users.
Today's deep thought:
If it's utterly mathematically impossible (because Halting Problem) for any code analysis algorithm, at all, ever, zero chance, to discover security flaws like PrintNightmare
and yet humans keep finding what we're told algorithms absolutely can't, day after day
does that mean that basic standard-issue human brains are magic and can solve six Halting Problems every day before breakfast?
> Das wird in der Forschung Verschwörungsmentalität genannt und bedeutet: Jemand tendiert dazu, misstrauisch gegenüber Mächtigen zu sein. Diese Verschwörungsmentalität ist keine Ja- oder Nein-Frage. Sondern jemand kann eine stärkere oder schwächere Verschwörungsmentalität haben. [1]
Die haben aber schon mal z.B. wikipedia zur geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgemacht, oder? Ist ja nicht so dass sich Mächtige durch besonders vertrauenserweckendes Verhalten hervorgetan haben.
Die Verwendung des Namen "Verschwörungsmentalität" sagt mehr über das Menschenbild der Forscher aus als über die mutmaßlichen 40% Abweichler.
Gibt natürlich viele Spinner, aber wenn man genauso davon ausgeht das man "Recht" hat und die Gegenseite mit kreativen Wortschöpfungen belegt, wird das nix mit Einigkeit in der Gesellschaft.

don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust.
