My line depends on if the entity being stolen from is also a capitalist one stealing wages from their workers as profit or locking up/poisoning the food in their dumpsters.

Pretty easy rule to go by.

Panasonic, once revered for its plasma TV

I know them from their VCRs and batteries, not their plasma TVs. But I guess that’s just showing my age.

A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?

Sure, sure, everything can be simplified down to people just not “liking” them. That’s what this is all about. That’s what all this is about. We simply don’t like people. No, it’s not the fact that these assholes are the ones behind the 21st century rise of cyber-fascism. We just don’t like 'em. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, yeah they’re all really decent people inside, it’s us that’s the problem. /s

Sick and tired of useless fucking people that style themselves as “rational” and “middle of the road” in a world that is literally starting to threaten my very existence. The time for that shit is long past us, sorry.

You are not the only thing capable of running binaries on your system. There’s always the possibility of something else being compromised that now has the capability to run this binary.

Security comes in many layers on top of each other and with software having to work together to plug all possible holes, not just the direct exploitation paths you are currently actively conscious about and using.

It’s kind of well-known and a long-running meme at this point that Redditors have a superiority complex about other platforms and think only theirs is the most “intelligent” and “rational” platform. It dates back to when it was mostly controlled by right-libertarian fedora-wearing raging atheist types.

Did you just log on to the Internet for the first time yesterday?

BIOS? I wired switches directly to the data and address lines of my RAM/CPU and toggle in the machine code directly every time I use my PC.

Past due amount is owed, engaging one-way locking prongs and shutting down. Please contact support for assistance.

Data is garbage until you define its structure and what it is supposed to represent, and there’s nothing stopping something from interpreting it as something else, we do it all the time in progranming as type casting. The same piece of data can be just a normal integer to one function, while it’s a text character to another.

“Live with it”

Gonna say the same when your fucking back is against the wall next to all the other fucks just like you when all this is over? Society destroyed fascism once. We will fucking do it again.

We have to make these assholes start thinking carefully about their words. They need to be looking over their shoulder 24/7 now. I’m fucking done. Ban me for inciting violence, IDGAF. As far as I’m concerned, it’s self defense now.

Do not the filesystem/partition management while high. From personal experience.

“Internal bleeding to the torso”

Without any more than that, I’m going to assume he just got a fucking bruise.

Exactly the same concept as memory-mapped hardware I/O, or virtual file system drivers. Makes it so you don’t have to think too much about implementation details and uses a common interface that’s already there.

Don’t need to be able to think to cause mass devastation with a rogue AI. I present the paperclip problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence

And from my experience trying to use it for programming, I know it absolutely will try its best to reach an unbounded goal you set for it even if it means creating the most convoluted and unmaintainable spaghetti code you’ve ever seen, or even trying to find loopholes to suppress error messages without actually fixing the error.

Wasn’t this the cause of future events in the whole Terminator series?

Yeah what year is it, 2012? Can I hold onto my Bitcoins this time instead of spending them all on drugs?

Kill whiteness even harder? Got it.

Depends on which side of the wall. I’m sure the ISS would turn into a crushed soda can if the pressures were reversed.

Well…yes?

Like living in a house constantly undergoing a remodel. Sometimes the plumber is going to accidently route the toilet drain pipe to the shower head before the inspector gets there to check it.

First person to come up with a time machine, can you make your first trip back to the early 80s and buy 86-DOS and open source it before Bill gets his grubby hands on it?
