@gopiandcode
I would disagree. As a programmer most of your work will not be directly producing pretty shinies on screen, even if you work for "pretty shinies on screen" productions. If you can't get motivated by the simplest of outputs you're not going to have fun programming. One of my never going to happen dream projects is programming tutorials where the only input is argc and the only output is the return code. How much programming can be crammed into 8 bits???

@happymoomoo @VD15 @georgia @lucky you must find a path you enjoy walking, the destination is irrelevant. If you don't enjoy the walk, you wouldn't get far anyway. If you enjoy it, the dead ends simply mean that you get to walk your favorite path again.

@lain_os oh! if only I was white enough to comprehend the truth of the almighty.

@lain_os might is right... except might is not might, right is not right, and is is not is...

@feld Maybe if we stop claiming perfection we wont have reasons to disprove each other either. But naah, we just need to make sure we are undeniably perfect at all times .

@feld You can't force people to forget. You can't force their devices to erase history either, without certain tyrannical measures. You can change their minds however. That is the difference between people and rats, isn't it?

I would say any theory of people you have that does not include yourself, has an obvious counterexample. Do you often have sudden irresistible urges to dig up ancient dirt on people and try to cancel them over it?

@feld I admit there might be several levels of indirection there. Have you ever worked with pointers?

Only to the kind of person who thinks law is the word of god almighty that exists.

@alex What I meant is that it's a workaround that in principle accepts and supports the status quo which is the problem. Coincidentally the job description of every software developer.

@feld

problem: it is normal in this community to harass people over their past mistakes
solution: we must conceal all of the past mistakes

ah yes, the software developer approach...

@ataraxia937@fosstodon.org It's my device and you have no right to put anything on it without my consent. Get yourself your own device and do whatever you want with it. If you want to provide a paid service, provide a paid service, instead of trying to infringe on my right to control what is on my own device. The only way your business model works is if you own all the devices and that's pretty much what they are trying to do.

But it's their digital product they can put whatever they want in it? No, their digital product is not real (and it can't hurt you), only your device is real, and their digital product has no value without your device.
