at some point i hope people do start to realize that open source means they get worked on by people, when they feel like it.
that cuts both ways. for some things it’s great, for some things it’s not. the end result can be great, but sometimes it takes a REALLY long time to get there.
i wouldn’t sweat it, they really didn’t build lemmy either. :D
let’s not just reference it and move on.
let’s show them doing it.
and let’s explore what it is they were saying specifically. they believe that Mr. Rogers was a ‘evil, evil, man’, because he told young kids ‘everyone is special’.
that’s what these evil, evil, people took issue with. a person on public television, not motivated by stacks of money, told some young kids they were worth something.
i also want to point out that this is the man they called evil. a man who went before one of the most powerful governments in the world, and talked about what was important to him.
in and of itself that’s not that unusual. people do it all the time. what made this time different is what was important to that person, and more specifically why it should be important to all of us.
you ever notice that Batman’s relationship with Robins is similar to Joker’s relationship with Harleys.
You thought you were the first? You won’t even be the last.
be better all you want. but personally just fucking them up on sight would be ok with me.
let other people be better, but the being better part is what allows these kinds of people to freely march in the first place.
these people thrive on confrontation, and feel that confrontation will make others flock to their side. i think we should give them all the confrontation they want, basically at every opportunity. being better than them is good in the long run. being worse than them will get them off the streets.
this is Nashville, we can do both.
it’s whataboutism, any time someone follows up a story like this with ‘what about the time X did worse?’
it’s literally the definition of whataboutism. if it weren’t whataboutism, then we wouldn’t be talking about the IDF. we’d instead be talking about the dude pretending to be a journalist by day, and a terrorist by night.
the fact that you don’t know this means two things. either you know and are trying to deflect, or you just flat out don’t know that’s what whataboutism is.
a careful cut or edit, could make all the difference.
given that the video is specifically presented as ‘unprovoked’ i’m going to guess it wasn’t.
i mean, is it hardware?
if yes, then it has software that translates physical actions to software. that requires firmware.
You know what the business community thinks of you? They think that a hundred years ago you were living in tents out here in the desert chopping each other’s heads off and that’s where you’ll be in another hundred years, so, yes, on behalf of my firm I accept your money.
just remember, at some point, two dudes had a barroom bet. one of them insisted that ‘anyone can make a movie’. in the course of proving his point, he spent $19,000 and made a film that some consider to be one of the worst movies ever made.
he was right though.
