For example, imagine if someone were to use the C preprocessor to create an elaborate object orientation system for C, calling it GObject, and then create an entire graphics stack up to and including a desktop environment, called, say, GNOME.

I think that's the kind of person who should no longer be allowed to use the C preprocessor.

I think the most important lesson to learn from free software is that after people have enough money to put food on the table they're willing to put time into something with no monetary benefit

You: Intel architecture
Me: Actually, Intel is the manufacturer. You're thinking of Intel's monster.

people didn't really understand Idiocracy. the real message of that film was *turning the pages of a Red Bull-stained notebook* I'm smart because I watched Idiocracy, whereas other people are stupid

Actually reading the RFC spec in full for the first time ever. Some weird stuff in here.

> Because of IRC's Scandinavian origin, the characters {}|^ are considered to be the lower case equivalents of the characters []\~, respectively. This is a critical issue when determining the equivalence of two nicknames or channel names.

> Channels names are strings (beginning with a '&', '#', '+' or '!' character) of length up to fifty (50) characters.

I've never seen a non- #hashchannel

Commercial: A clammy looking boy with a center part reaches into a dusty bowl of Turkish delight. “I do love my sweets,” he whispers in the most mucousy voice you’ve ever heard.

My uncle (111 M) gifted me (33 M) a ring before leaving to go travelling. A close family friend (2019 M) told me to destroy the ring due to problematic associations with the jeweller who made it, but the ring is precious to me and I would feel guilty throwing it away. AITA?
