Stagnation and minimalism made it to evolve into Plan9/9front adopting traits from other OSes. Namespaces. Acme looking like Overon. Even GNU mainly enhanced Unix from ITS with GNU/Emacs to crazy levels. Does the guy from that atrocious linked site (not tastyfish) use Emacs under ITS instead of GNU on top of Unix? No? Then he might be the greatest hypocrite ever. Because RMS at least tried to bring the ITS hackability to the masses with pragmatical reasons under a libre reinvented Unix called GNU. These purists don't realize that no system nor human has been pure, ever, save for very primitive inbreed humans and technologies. Yeah, go, White Power. What where the WASP guys doing at the Roman times? Living in huts. What did the multi-ethnics spawning olive/white colored Roman and Greek doing in the meanwhile? Shaping up the Western Civilization. On tech, did RMS kept using PDP10's and ITS/Maclisp with Emacs? No, he adapted and it carried on Unix' legacy by writting something technically superior with namespaces (Hurd), empowering the user and Emacs on top providing a great shell (even with Eshell) compared to the previous one. Meanwhile, a pure Unix would leave us with bc/dc and a simple AWK plotting tool with C which is not as portable as you think, even with TCC and C99. Heck, even Unix v10 and Plan9/9front don't look like your typical Unix at all. You have sam, not ed/vi. It shows up that using the mouse it's sometimes fine, it killed the VT, albeit using a keyboard helps with the RSI too. That's why Emacs provides the two interfaces greatly working in parallel. Can you use Emacs under X with just a keyboard? Perfectly well.

  - CaptainFever 2y ago
    They are correct. Note that pedophiles, on average, discover their orientation at 14 years old. They first experienced it when they were just 12, on average. 42% of MAPs (minor attracted persons) had suicidal thoughts at 16 years old. 32% had concrete plans for ending their life, and 13% actually attempted to end their life. The most common age of first suicide attempt for MAPs is 14 years old. Of those who attempted suicide, 36% were minors.

      - CaptainFever 2y ago
        Fair enough, I agree that the word disorder or orientation is not supported by my evidence*. But it does support that, for non-contact minor attraction at least, it should be morally and legally accepted (this was what I was trying to reply to). It is actually a marginalised group. The MAPs (minor attracted people) most vulnerable and prone to suicide are actually children themselves, as supported by the evidence. *For non-contact minor attraction, I believe it is not a disorder because it does not affect functioning in society (it doesn't harm others), nor does it impact functioning in occupational contexts. But you're correct that this was a separate point and shouldn't have been conflated.

So disgusting that you should probably drop `https:// https://` to make it not directly linked. I'm not only talking about "usual" stuffs, but he also overlaps with Terry A. Davis to me in the way that they are technically proficient and have potential to make a great thing but still remain very terrible as a person...
- xyproto 2y ago
  Terry A. Davis had a mental illness, so it is a bit unfair to claim that he was very terrible as a person. If someone breaks a leg, they may be unable to walk, but may walk again when they are cured. It does not make them a non-walker as a person. I think the distinction between illness and identity is important.
  - lifthrasiir 2y ago
    I mean, not exactly his fault but most people would still find it difficult to deal with him anyway. On the other hand, I'm actually less concerned about the identity stuff. I'm much more concerned about how he represents himself and makes multiple conflicting statements without any context in public. I don't want to judge how minor-attracted people should be considered in the society because I honestly have no idea, but the modern society at least in principle requires some tolerance in the value system and I can see absolutely no such evidence from the website. Never good for his identity even if we can accept that.
  - dxuh 2y ago
    How do you know the drummyfish person doesn't have a mental illness either? Arguably most personality "quirks" are caused by either some medical issue or events in childhood, some of which can be addressed as an adult and "sorted out", but some of which cannot. It's entirely possible that drummyfish is a victim of some childhood trauma, which is likely easier to get into control than severe schizophrenia in the case of Terry Davis. To be clear I totally agree with you, but I am arguing that you never quite know where illness ends and identity starts and we should try to attribute less bad behavior to identity for everyone.

He is also the maintainer of a web browser whose specification seems to be ‘to leave as little trace as possible in the event of a police raid’, which is pretty suspicious.
- immibis 2y ago
  Your home can be raided for, say, running a Tor node, and you best believe they'll be looking for anything to charge you with because that's their job. I don't see anything wrong with this one. Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany.
  - Beretta_Vexee 2y ago
    Fun fact: I operated a TOR node for a while (not an exit node). It was in a datacenter and I mostly got yelled at because the IP was flagged as malicious outbound and the reputation of the IP range was degraded. I stopped the node but I still have the IP adress which is still inaccessible to most office workers years after ;-). At no time did I think that I was risking jail time if my computer was seized. I'm lucky enough to live in a democratic country and I have a clean conscience. There are two main types of people who are interested in TOR, the defence of privacy and the development of privacy protection software: - Those who think about the situation of homosexuals and journalists in countries where they risk the death penalty or life imprisonment. Police state, government overreach, woman health, etc... - Those who live in democratic countries but have a lot to hide. The two populations coexist but do not mix.
    - PhilipRoman 2y ago
      Interesting, I thought that only exit nodes carry a reputation risk. I guess there must be some really zealous scrapers who ban middle nodes based on the public list.
      - Beretta_Vexee 2y ago
        Entry nodes also run a big reputational risk. A number of list providers filter them. Many organisations want to prevent their users from accessing TOR to bypass filtering or exfiltrate data.
psychoslave 2y ago
I just skimmed it, but to my mind and judging only by the few sample texts I red, it seems that it’s really someone who suffers extreme loneliness and try to put "pure logic without conscious will to make suffer anyone" to some extreme reaching thus some bizarre conclusion. I mean, when I see people making video of themselves stating "ĉiuj nigraj devas morti, vivu Hitler" ("all nigers must die, viva Hitler" in Esperanto) in some easily accessible Telegram channels, it feels like a far harder case of "Ok, this person is really on a wrong track, how can I help steer them to a saner state of mind?". Also consider this: who is the most dangerous, someone like this person who publish without filter what is in their mind, or some sociopath making political plots through lies all day through promising consensual bullshits and ready to use all forms of violence to achieve their secret egoist goals?

danielEM 2y ago
Looks like that guy got lost a little in his life, I'm asking myself if he can be helped somehow? And if so then how?
- rollcat 2y ago
  On an individual level - no, I don't think so, at least not easily. One can't be helped if they don't want to, or don't see a reason why they would need help. Successful therapy is 99% your own work, a therapist will help you find the door but it's you who must take the step. On social level, we need to call out this sort of viewpoint/behaviour, and make it clear it's beyond unacceptable. Then it's up to the individual to decide if they want to reintegrate with society (which would be predicated on seeking help).
  - daghamm 2y ago
    This is what I have learned after working with some really crazy people: 1. Show them some love, even if they don't deserve it 2. Don't be combative or argumentative. If the guy believes earth is flat, don't try to change his mind. But be open on where you stand and don't try to pretend sharing some of his views just to please him. May not work on everyone and some folks are just evil, but I think many crazy dudes out there are just alone and have really bad social skills.
    - rollcat 2y ago
      I had to think about this for a while. > 1. Show them some love, even if they don't deserve it That's the problem. Everyone deserves love, but it's a bit of a chicken & egg problem when you run into someone who thinks of themselves as so repulsive, that they are convinced they don't deserve being loved. My personal experience in this area has mostly been with people who already have been in therapy, sought help, etc and sometimes even then have problems accepting love, even when offered unconditionally (which might be also super difficult for the offering side). But you're right, even a little bit of love and well-intentioned attention can go a long way. I hope that if drummyfish is reading this entire thread (which might be extremely emotionally demanding), they can see that the appreciation for their work and achievements is well-earned and deserved. The root of the problem and the solution is (and always has been) to love oneself. If one can't accept self-love, how would they be able to accept love from others?

  It's the association. Things vary in value to us depending the brand it portrays. This is why people pay $150 for Nike shoes despite them being made by the same kids in the same sweatshop as the $10 Primark runners. It's also why initiatives like ReiserFS died after its creator turned out to be a murderer. As humans we're always looking for things that align with our values and "tribe". Maybe it shouldn't be that way and we should judge each product purely on its merits but for most of us it's just how we are.
  - graemep 2y ago
    People never seem to apply this to the arts. People still use Eric Gill's fonts (sexually abused his kids), they put on plays by Oscar Wilde (who was definitely a sex tourist and the descriptions in letters makes it fairly clear the boys were underage), several murderers are admired for their works: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170517-can-you-separate-the-artist-from-the-art https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170517-can-you-separat... I would not want to work with this guy, but using his code is not the same. I suspect if ReiserFs had been more successful it would have been forked rather than died after the murder conviction. THis guy also sounds like he has severe mental health problems or is trolling: "I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me. I can't even buy a prostitute no matter how much I would pay."
mbivert 2y ago
He also likes "trolling" and "Flat Earth"; this all might still be second degree, however distasteful. I mean, "I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived", seriously. If so, then people reacting so strongly — even negatively — would play into his hands. Hence the old age saying, "thou shall not feed the troll". He might even get one of those "very generous one time donation" thanks to all that attention.
anthk 2y ago
Race realism died long ago when education mattered far most than genetics, at least on behaviour. - African tribe culture not used to give playtime/talk to kids when they are babies: behavioural problems raise at adulthood. - Western world used to it, no matter the class or money: potentially good adulthood. The problem is that the wealthy class didn't like to have educated citizens in Africa; but a brute workforce, like donkeys, to get nearly free raw goods.

  Would you agree that some populations have darker skin? Sprint faster? Have different kind of hair, or skin (requiring different products)? Do you agree with the non-controversial opinion that indigenous Australians have superior vision to white people? Everyone believes in race realism. It's only when it's about a few specific traits of a few specific groups that people deny it. And it's only about one specific organ of the human body (the most complex one), that somehow is completely identical for everyone.

His website also lists "child nudity" as one of his passions, so let's not pretend that we're just talking about some unconventional political beliefs.

So disgusting that you should probably drop `https:// https://` to make it not directly linked. I'm not only talking about "usual" stuffs, but he also overlaps with Terry A. Davis to me in the way that they are technically proficient and have potential to make a great thing but still remain very terrible as a person...

xyproto 2y ago
Terry A. Davis had a mental illness, so it is a bit unfair to claim that he was very terrible as a person. If someone breaks a leg, they may be unable to walk, but may walk again when they are cured. It does not make them a non-walker as a person. I think the distinction between illness and identity is important.
- lifthrasiir 2y ago
  I mean, not exactly his fault but most people would still find it difficult to deal with him anyway. On the other hand, I'm actually less concerned about the identity stuff. I'm much more concerned about how he represents himself and makes multiple conflicting statements without any context in public. I don't want to judge how minor-attracted people should be considered in the society because I honestly have no idea, but the modern society at least in principle requires some tolerance in the value system and I can see absolutely no such evidence from the website. Never good for his identity even if we can accept that.

  How do you know the drummyfish person doesn't have a mental illness either? Arguably most personality "quirks" are caused by either some medical issue or events in childhood, some of which can be addressed as an adult and "sorted out", but some of which cannot. It's entirely possible that drummyfish is a victim of some childhood trauma, which is likely easier to get into control than severe schizophrenia in the case of Terry Davis. To be clear I totally agree with you, but I am arguing that you never quite know where illness ends and identity starts and we should try to attribute less bad behavior to identity for everyone.

He is also the maintainer of a web browser whose specification seems to be ‘to leave as little trace as possible in the event of a police raid’, which is pretty suspicious.

immibis 2y ago
Your home can be raided for, say, running a Tor node, and you best believe they'll be looking for anything to charge you with because that's their job. I don't see anything wrong with this one. Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany.
- Beretta_Vexee 2y ago
  Fun fact: I operated a TOR node for a while (not an exit node). It was in a datacenter and I mostly got yelled at because the IP was flagged as malicious outbound and the reputation of the IP range was degraded. I stopped the node but I still have the IP adress which is still inaccessible to most office workers years after ;-). At no time did I think that I was risking jail time if my computer was seized. I'm lucky enough to live in a democratic country and I have a clean conscience. There are two main types of people who are interested in TOR, the defence of privacy and the development of privacy protection software: - Those who think about the situation of homosexuals and journalists in countries where they risk the death penalty or life imprisonment. Police state, government overreach, woman health, etc... - Those who live in democratic countries but have a lot to hide. The two populations coexist but do not mix.
  - PhilipRoman 2y ago
    Interesting, I thought that only exit nodes carry a reputation risk. I guess there must be some really zealous scrapers who ban middle nodes based on the public list.
    - Beretta_Vexee 2y ago
      Entry nodes also run a big reputational risk. A number of list providers filter them. Many organisations want to prevent their users from accessing TOR to bypass filtering or exfiltrate data.

I just skimmed it, but to my mind and judging only by the few sample texts I red, it seems that it’s really someone who suffers extreme loneliness and try to put "pure logic without conscious will to make suffer anyone" to some extreme reaching thus some bizarre conclusion. I mean, when I see people making video of themselves stating "ĉiuj nigraj devas morti, vivu Hitler" ("all nigers must die, viva Hitler" in Esperanto) in some easily accessible Telegram channels, it feels like a far harder case of "Ok, this person is really on a wrong track, how can I help steer them to a saner state of mind?". Also consider this: who is the most dangerous, someone like this person who publish without filter what is in their mind, or some sociopath making political plots through lies all day through promising consensual bullshits and ready to use all forms of violence to achieve their secret egoist goals?

danielEM 2y ago

Looks like that guy got lost a little in his life, I'm asking myself if he can be helped somehow? And if so then how?

rollcat 2y ago
On an individual level - no, I don't think so, at least not easily. One can't be helped if they don't want to, or don't see a reason why they would need help. Successful therapy is 99% your own work, a therapist will help you find the door but it's you who must take the step. On social level, we need to call out this sort of viewpoint/behaviour, and make it clear it's beyond unacceptable. Then it's up to the individual to decide if they want to reintegrate with society (which would be predicated on seeking help).

  This is what I have learned after working with some really crazy people: 1. Show them some love, even if they don't deserve it 2. Don't be combative or argumentative. If the guy believes earth is flat, don't try to change his mind. But be open on where you stand and don't try to pretend sharing some of his views just to please him. May not work on everyone and some folks are just evil, but I think many crazy dudes out there are just alone and have really bad social skills.
  - rollcat 2y ago
    I had to think about this for a while. > 1. Show them some love, even if they don't deserve it That's the problem. Everyone deserves love, but it's a bit of a chicken & egg problem when you run into someone who thinks of themselves as so repulsive, that they are convinced they don't deserve being loved. My personal experience in this area has mostly been with people who already have been in therapy, sought help, etc and sometimes even then have problems accepting love, even when offered unconditionally (which might be also super difficult for the offering side). But you're right, even a little bit of love and well-intentioned attention can go a long way. I hope that if drummyfish is reading this entire thread (which might be extremely emotionally demanding), they can see that the appreciation for their work and achievements is well-earned and deserved. The root of the problem and the solution is (and always has been) to love oneself. If one can't accept self-love, how would they be able to accept love from others?

> but important to note. Not sure why. Terry Davis made incredible software and his disability made it more exceptional. Being a weirdo doesn't make code better or worse. I wouldn't want my kids going to a school run by this person, but who cares about who writes interesting code.

It's the association. Things vary in value to us depending the brand it portrays. This is why people pay $150 for Nike shoes despite them being made by the same kids in the same sweatshop as the $10 Primark runners. It's also why initiatives like ReiserFS died after its creator turned out to be a murderer. As humans we're always looking for things that align with our values and "tribe". Maybe it shouldn't be that way and we should judge each product purely on its merits but for most of us it's just how we are.
- graemep 2y ago
  People never seem to apply this to the arts. People still use Eric Gill's fonts (sexually abused his kids), they put on plays by Oscar Wilde (who was definitely a sex tourist and the descriptions in letters makes it fairly clear the boys were underage), several murderers are admired for their works: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170517-can-you-separate-the-artist-from-the-art https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170517-can-you-separat... I would not want to work with this guy, but using his code is not the same. I suspect if ReiserFs had been more successful it would have been forked rather than died after the murder conviction. THis guy also sounds like he has severe mental health problems or is trolling: "I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me. I can't even buy a prostitute no matter how much I would pay."

mbivert 2y ago

He also likes "trolling" and "Flat Earth"; this all might still be second degree, however distasteful. I mean, "I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived", seriously. If so, then people reacting so strongly — even negatively — would play into his hands. Hence the old age saying, "thou shall not feed the troll". He might even get one of those "very generous one time donation" thanks to all that attention.

Race realism died long ago when education mattered far most than genetics, at least on behaviour. - African tribe culture not used to give playtime/talk to kids when they are babies: behavioural problems raise at adulthood. - Western world used to it, no matter the class or money: potentially good adulthood. The problem is that the wealthy class didn't like to have educated citizens in Africa; but a brute workforce, like donkeys, to get nearly free raw goods.

realracist 2y ago
Would you agree that some populations have darker skin? Sprint faster? Have different kind of hair, or skin (requiring different products)? Do you agree with the non-controversial opinion that indigenous Australians have superior vision to white people? Everyone believes in race realism. It's only when it's about a few specific traits of a few specific groups that people deny it. And it's only about one specific organ of the human body (the most complex one), that somehow is completely identical for everyone.

I’ve seen quite a few instances of excellent art produced by people whom I would classify as extremely abominable, so I think we should eat the fish, throw out the bones here. He’s quite the specimen, though. Wow. I remember reading stuff by crazy people on the old internet some years ago, he sure would fit right in.

"- I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me. I can't even buy a prostitute no matter how much I would pay. - I have a condition which makes me physically unable to bear seeing or hearing just 1 second of ads. - I am immune to propaganda and see the world in undistorted way, resulting in previous point. - My favorite algorithm is most likely Hough transform. - It physically hurts me when someone says "the reason ... is because" or "just because ... doesn't mean". - I immediately turn off any documentary where a woman starts talking as a "scientist"." Ah, I miss personal webpages. Reminds me of an article which said that positive side of autism is that autists are impossible to brainwash, and that they are the only ones to speak up in a nazi society -- because they ignore the social cues.
