I specifically and purposefully ignore anything Microsoft. I'm interested in open computing, which Windows and Microsoft exist to spite. I assume Microsoft does everything in bad faith, and that any technology they deploy is ultimately

If it's productive and you like it, then that's great! I stopped using Windows about 7 years ago; I've slowly radicalized myself to the point where I just genuinely hate Windows as a product and often wish toenail cancer upon

Stability is an important thing. The fact that 30 year old scripts still work, and still can be run, is a testament to the staying power of the underlying technology. That staying power generally means some reduction in cognitive load: I ca

Honestly, if you're going to modify Windows, why not just go Linux? Monkeypatching Windows into a good (useable?) OS seems like more effort for less return than just picking up a distro. The only advantage I've heard people claim

This seems more like a perspectivism, egoism, or absurdism than nihilism. Ultimately, nihilism is the position that even any meaning you create is likewise inherently meaningless. To create your own meaning, and maintain that it is meaningf

I have a bookmarks folder for small search engines I like. I don't think there's a need for it to be a default.

For context, this isn't from a player; I steadfastly refuse to run google services on any of my devices, so I'm incapable of downloading your game from the Google Play store. I'll keep an eye out for it, should you ever decid

Another really good point that I just failed to take into account. I've always been amazed at how well Emacs Just Works between its TUI and GUI.

Yeah, fair; I'd read that Clojure runs on the JVM, I just hadn't really put 2 and 2 together on that.

Unfortunately, I was born into a world without FOSS phones yet where phones are mandatory. I've therefore unhappily furnished Google with more money than I'd ever have liked to, did my best to scrub the hardware of their taint, an

I absolutely respect the technical challenge of the Metaverse, but also: I'm not really interested in it. I live a fairly tech-minimal lifestyle already. I have my computer, which is largely a tty machine, and my phone. All of my media

I wouldn't use a non-FOSS platform or experience for non-corporate reasons. My employer wants me to use a particular hardware? Fine, but I'm not using my money for it, I won't like it, and I'll break it every chance I ge

Then much of science is irrational; what about those times where it's understood that a belief is false, but it also holds the most explanative power of all other considered beliefs? And, again, the notion that something is 'clear

That's not irrational in the sense of there lacking inherent reasoning or rationalization, it's just a poor deduction. If you mean that rational agents are incapable of flawed reasoning, then I agree that humans are somewhat irrat

Irrational in what sense? I can, indeed, claim that NFTs have value to even a purely rational actor, if I'm allowed to ascribe self-determination to that actor. Particularly, I think it's important to delineate whether 'ratio

Economics is not a philosophically-laden exercise. Economics defines value as that which a rational agent is willing to make a sacrifice for, and the degree to which something is valued by that actor is exactly measured by what they're

Tons of modern systems built from and on top of legacy. Modern != !legacy. I can also access a lot of legacy systems through modern browsers.

Absolutely! Are you likewise a fan?

I highly recommend reading it as a comedy, in the vein of inherently absurd shitposts. Stirner's bragadocio really underscores the absurdity of self-interest vis-a-vis the individual's standing with reality. I very much agree with

Keep in mind, rationalism is about "this, therefore that;" the root of rationalism is ratio, as in the multiplicity of proportions which lie between integers. Rationalist thought is "I have these guarantees, what does that me

Have you read Max Stirner? This is one of the most compelling motivations of egoism I've seen, and the phraseology converges almost directly with Stirner's "The Ego And Its Own."

I recommend "Tuesdays With Morrie" for a good why book. Either you value collaboration and the opinions of others, or you don't; there's not much that you can do to reason yourself into or out of it, since it's not

I'm an outsider myself. I'm currently taking the tact of studying Domain Theory concurrent to my introduction to Category Theory, while reading up on recursion.
