see c/UGEM for UnderGroundElectronicMusic. :) (I was going to set up something like that when saw someone else had already requested to make it. Good stuff. Populate it.)
Both accounts use long, structured, paragraphs with somewhat of a scholarly tone. Both often use unsolicited hyperlinks for definitions or references in their paragraphs. Both have an interest in Star Trek.
... Up to that point, I started freaking out, thinking I maybe look a bit like one of their alts. lol. yikes.
... Mushrooms and grass are free, growing all around... So... presumably you mean you have to pay to be touched?
Reminds of when I got dumped, and went out with an air rifle and shot a couple birds (would have been 3, but I missed with the last slug I found). Utterly out of character. I wonder (and doubt) if they (at least yet) likewise feel greatest remorse for their weakest moment [of "hurt people hurt people"].
... And reminds of [in Babylon5] when Lennier had a moment of fail, out of character, ran from saving Sheradin, ... and How D'lenn handled it, sympathetic to how we are each susceptible to such moments of fail and we let our worst overtake our better.
Still... another's capacity for such wise sympathy (or empathy), is no excuse for them.
[Edit: ... After being reminded of the specific situation this time though... I strongly doubt that's even their weakest moment of hurting people; strongly doubt that's a mere case of a rare moment of letting their worst get the better of their better... given what was initially done (and in which direction!!!). Wardrobe not big enough for all those skeletons [that I imagine, I hope, merely metaphorically].]
Only utopian nearer to the core of the federation.
Further out, however...
Confluence of stress burnout, and character traits.
Is worthwhile to explore both the psychological and societal precursors to such.
... Probably worthwhile looking into narcissism too. Albeit many perspectives on the topic, there are common themes and distinct insights to catch, that are sometimes difficult to really have sink in, so distinct and alient an umwelt exists behind the contrastingly "normal" facade. Until blow-out.
... Probably worthwhile looking into autism too. Maybe AuDHD specifically (whom are the majority). The absence of the socially normativising stuff, from the different neurophysiology, almost like we're having to do all the work of the cerebelum, the gpu, in the forebrain, the cpu, with the neuronal journeys having more finegrain, less pruning, and fewer main reinforced trunks, and so experience far more of the intricate detail all the way there, and all the way back... it's not just exhausting in itself, the extra brain power required for all the meta-navigation, only having the intricacies of side roads of working-it-out-now, none of the popular motorways of presumption, but also exhausting from the resultant clashes, and the cassandra syndrome, putting up with a majority who dismiss what you see in preference for their shared reality, regardless of how well it can be seen otherwise... no judgement on who's right or wrong there, only a consideration of what it's like, having to live like that. ... I can imagine that adds a whole other dimension of burnout to be experienced. And then when having found something that can accommodate you, avails a space where you're finally allowed the control you need to soothe your fine-grain sensitivities from that different awareness frequency range, gives you that peace, and then that area expands back into the social space, where there's still a different umwelt clash, each modality appearing stupid to the metrics of the other modality. And in the absence of support nor aptitude in that other's stubborn paradigm, for your own stubborn paradigm, whether you try to brashly persist in your integrity, or you try to bend to fit, it exhausts, either way. And then melt-downs and rage-attacks and so on can happen. Especially when got so close to it, and identified with it, this new thing you made that availed you such grace, that could save the world, that's part of you... and then these ungrateful swine come along and threaten it!? Yeah, I can see how such blow-outs could come about.
Especially bad if one has both autism and narcissism. The narcissism would preclude their any will whatsoever to self improvement. They'd have total aversion to accountability. No real introspection, and thus no real regret or apology is possible. Only pretence. If even that. Sometimes the grandiosity slips out of the mask of even the most covert narcissists (and community narcissists, martyr hero narcissists, vulnerable narcissists, etc). Narcissists, especially the true ones, where it has become their personality, and not just a rare incidental moment or rarer trait, in having itpped past the point of introspection, into delusional non-reality in fantasy love of their self image, no longer able to distinguish other people as other people, seeing them only as means to their own ends, and lingering in that, growing more machiavelian, psychopathic, even sadistic and demented. And in a way, a bit of a saving grace for us all, if the autism's louder than the socially manipulative covert machiavellianisms. Better the devil we can see [because they lack the social aptitude to hide], than the devil we cannot see [because they hide among us, pretending to be the paragons of virtue].
As in not just honest ones for robustness against outages, but, sock puppets?
Oh! Is that maybe why my network choked to a mere double figure kb crawl after I posted about it [~ and pasting the diatribe for posterity, and so others wouldnt have needed visit that]?
I just presumed it was the dozen distro ISO I was downloading at the time too, in a distroholic relapse.
... I'm not really paying attention to all this drama.
I happen to be listening to autechre when I saw this.
Disappointed it's a different æ.
Embrace-extend-extinguish is when a large company adopts an existing open standard (encouraging users to use its software due to that compatibility) and then extends that standard with proprietary features, rendering software using the open standard incompatible and extinguishing their ability to compete with the larger platform.
Whoowee! That's some dangerous dry dark comedy there, satirically showing embrace-extend-extinguish being done to the meaning of embrace-extend-extinguish. Dark heavy jokes for dark heavy times. Some people may miss this is a joke, and believe that agnogenic definition, and then go on to share that corporate corrupted/sanctified definition is as far as it goes, and proceed through life oblivious to the ground being stolen from beneath their feet, and everywhere else all around them, things just magically mysteriously disappearing [if even noticed at all], from all the broader application of embrace-extend-extinguish outside that myopic definition undergoing embrace-extend-extinguish. Enough not-even-wrong in the skew, the lie of omission's easy to miss. Wwwwway more than just "open standards" get embraced. Everything, every movement, every idea, you have, that threatens their monopolistic interests, offers any competition, anything you love, you yourself, are ripe for that "embrace". ... Sleep well. ;D [Face the horror.]
[I had that paragraph left unfinished for a while, distracted, only seeing this tab again much later, while listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52eqkJM-Ll4 which oddly syncs up with this. He can put it better than I can. I'm clumsy with words (you may have noticed, lol). Not that Peter Turchin's on about embrace-extend-extinguish, but the broader context in which that happens. ... The placatium of the earlier half of the lost century, having been removed, and the 2 generation lag, the oscilation, the shared wealth fairness/injustice thing, and the implications. ... We won't stay fooled by the fruits of the embrace-extend-extinguish'ing. The results accumulate, the nail gets rustier, the dog eventually does more than just wail, and gets up off it. The lies, the tactics, no longer work. ... E.g. no more "strong man to save us" scams from politicians work. ... Novel solutions abound in the crisis pressure increased under the oppressions and iniquity pump of the kleptarchy. ... Novel solutions like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RBNboYUlVI freenet, but something like that (even on/via/facilitated-by freenet) specific more for democracy and "economics" and "finance"... and so, even as these dire looming possibilities like skynet and all the rest of the dystopian venn diagram(s) so loom, we also are at a vast junction to "STOP FALLING FOR IT", and we even sublimate out of the oscilation, out of bouncing back from catastrophic pressure buildings that threaten all life, so vast are our capabilities now, no longer able to continue that oscilation... so as we stare down the barrel of the first ever lasting totalitarian technarchy tyranny, in the hands of the oligarchs, kakistarchs, the attercoparchs, the kleptarchs, the malarchs, whatever flavour of archy one chooses to include in describing the paradigm, ~ even as we stare down the barrel of the first everlasting authoritarian total control, we have the potential to evoke the everlasting[?] robustness against centralising corruption. Like the freenet[.org] example shows. We can still mend this. ... Or maybe it too is an embrace phase, moving in on the decentralised internet space, seeking to monopolise it, and then they'll be the central dictum of the shape of it, free to re-eliminate whatever liberties they choose. In their demo tech, they already show a convenient recentralised web portal to the tech to try it out. XD. Eternal Vigilance... Beware what's behind every offer of embrace, especially from strangers and corporations and strongman saviors.]]
Everything is intrinsically political. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zruGBWLk9s8
Though some things are more political than others. ;) Free Software's avowedly a piece of political philosophy. Open Source seems more like corporate(/monopoly/fascist) strategy. Namely, Embrace-Extend-Extinguish.
can haz emacs with spacecadet keybinds?
hyper super meta shift alt control, ahoy! :D
... I'... I'm scared to ask...

She wasn't the worst.
... Okay, she was 3rd worst.

Okay why is your distro the best?
Yup. To me, IRIX was the best, until I found GNU+Linux in late 2003 and becoming a windows refugee, not to IRIX, but to, not just GNU+Linux, but all freedom respecting operating systems and their distributions, and the potential of what they could become, as I and many others attempt to learn them, and help contribute to them. Many more itches to scratch yet. The best is yet to come, for each and all. :) Or so the philosophy inspires and aspires.
[PS... Oh I so would love a FOSS IRIX... a free software ["open source"] multi-arch IRIX revival though... beyond just NekoWare and whatever else is scattered around.]
[PPS, oh, and varies computer to computer too... I don't use the same distro everywhere. Sometimes even several distros on the same computer. Quite right to point out the folly of the notion of there being a one-true-way "best".]
kew.
kew to see kew.
i'd forgot about kew.
