Can't people run it locally supposedly?

Awesome, I no longer have to link to leaked emails to convince people he's a phrenologist, he just went and wrote a nice succinct article laying it out.

I didn't think today was gonna be a day where I'd read about sounding then breaking glass rods but here we are.

Fuck lmfao 🤣

That was way back in 2007. Probably close to when I read his stuff... but even then he was clearly still clinging to the Halloween Letters and seemed extremely old school.

Emphasis on used to. He worked fairly hard at becoming a household name, but ultimately his fame was pretty brief. Stallman achieved meme status, love him or hate him. Torvalds actually ships shit people use. There's just no discourse around Raymond these days, good or bad.

Every once in a while someone trips over one of the pitons he's driven into the wall of FOSS to try and climb it, discovers his abysmal takes, amd everyone promptly forgets about him again.

You're being perhaps too generous to consider ESR a famous FOSS personality.

Least insane ESR post

They're gonna ruin cities by further limiting the rights of pedestrians to work around their mediocre programming.

Definitely, there was no coming back from that debate.

fuck the accelerationists for pumping shitheaded propaganda into the fediverse, for the victory lap they’re taking now, and for the general idea that their revolution is worth our deaths

So much this

still, something gets me about completely generated, transient-when-you’re-not-looking, constantly shifting worlds. might have to collect more examples

It's dream logic.

 

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but so far the choice line is:

I like how you just dropped the “Vance is interested in right authoritarianism” like it’s a known fact to base your entire point on. Vance is the clearest demonstration of a libertarian the republicans have in high office. It’s an absurd ad hominem that you try to mask in your wall of text.

 

Utilitarian brainworms or one of the many very real instances of a homicidal parent going after their disabled child? I can't decide, but it's a depressing read.

May end up on SRD, but you read it here first.
