@lanodan You're free to start communes under anarcho-capitalism if you don't like it.

@icedquinn Jabascript is the BASIC of our time. More power more horror.

@lanodan Imagine seeing :ancap: and not being like "eww, symbol of an horrible dictature" and instead being like "oh, I love this symbol".

@icedquinn Too bad the modern dialects of BASIC are way too verbose for my liking. Just look at these FreeBASIC examples on Wikipedia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBASI

Who the fuck capitalizes statements?

when Djikstra said people who learned BASIC were unsalvageable, what he should have said is people who are webdevs.

BASIC programmers never created these levels of horror.

There's enough unvaxxed nurses to start their own thing. It's anyone building that yet?

Linus Torvalds's original Linux announcement was all like "this isn't a big professional project, it's a smol bean hobby kernel" and look where that got him.

The conclusion is that when you announce your projects you should make grandiose claims about them to avoid the same fate.

Reminder to stop watching those “expert reacts to piece of media” vids that are made every 5 seconds they are all not worth watching. Except maybe that one dude who reacts to guns in shooters and shows the REAL gun thats alright.

90% of adults in Israel are vaccinated, and the delta variant is still blowing up. Herd immunity isn't happening.

Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?
Summary: small poll for my new operating system

Hello everybody out there using minix -

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

@lanodan @seanking Yeah. That's the free market at it's work.

And if you don't like capitalism, you are free to start your own worker co-op or even your own commune in ancapistan as long as it is 100% voluntary.
