  • No, come on now, don’t do that. Don’t sit here and claim you were just “asking for clarification”. We can all see the thread, we can all see how much snark you injected into that comment and the follow up replies. You weren’t just asking for clarification, you were belittling someone you thought did something “wrong”.

    Please let me give you a bit of advice, if I may. Try and remember that pretty much everyone is suffering right now, and that a kind word goes a long way. Lead by example where possible, rather than trying to force people down a certain path. And try not to get too riled up if people don’t follow your lead, because not everyone will.











  • C’mon man, this is just a textbook fallacious slippery slope argument. Rust isn’t some brand new language whose stable release was less than a year ago, it’s over a decade old now. Scheme and Lisp are interpreted languages for God’s sake, it’s borderline* impossible to use them for kernel programming.

    Also I’m pretty sure the whole point of the Rust project that all this drama is centered around is to keep Rust code separate from the kernel. From what I understand the whole point is to maintain Rust bindings to the kernel API as a separate project, so that if developers want to write a driver in Rust, they can without having to rewrite those bindings themselves. But the kernel code itself will still be all C code. Now I’m not a kernel developer, and the last time I wrote a driver was for my operating systems class in university over a decade ago, so take that with a grain of salt.

    * I say borderline because anything is possible with code if you’re creative enough, but anyone trying to submit Scheme or Lisp code to the Linux kernel is gonna get laughed off the Internet




  • Dude yeah I was thinking about that recently, like comparing Roiland’s one-noted-ness to someone like H. Jon Benjamin’s one-noted-ness, and how different they are. Like, you hear Roiland’s Lemongrab, or Rick, or Morty, or the alien from Solar Opposites, and you’re just like huh, the same guy voices all of those characters. They don’t sound identical, but I can tell it’s the same VA. But then you listen to Bob from Bob’s Burgers and Archer from Archer, and Coach McGuirk from Home Videos and you almost don’t realize at first that those three characters are voiced by the same guy, even though their voices are almost identical. Idk, I just think it’s kinda wild





  • Nah, I’m just saying you’re being too picky. Right now, I don’t really think there’s anything wrong with rallying around a message of “Not Trump, Not Fascism”. You know, considering those are the things that are currently dismantling our democracy.

    Calling people turncoats when they should be considered allies does nothing to fight the real, current threat in office. All this infighting just sets us back and puts us further down the road to fascism. This quest for the perfect liberal party is a waste of effort because it’s so pie-in-the-sky and borderline impossible to actually achieve in any meaningful length of time.

    It sucks, but that’s reality. Our democracy is fucked, and trying to find even more idealist liberals to replace the likes of Bernie and AOC isn’t gonna fix it.
