Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros

You know, currency you can actually buy things with.
Oh, BTC.

some idiot that poisoned the internet from the very beginning is an asshole.
This jackass wrote js in 2 weeks at netscape and now nulls aren't equal to other nulls.
We could have had Scheme in the browser instead, but the control freaks won and we got saddled with an inferior language instead, misleadingly named after Java because it was so long ago that some people still thought Java was cool.

Oh, that was not my intention, there are far better drugs than K, even some, which don’t destroy your body.
But when I compare friends who use coke vs K, well, there is a big difference. Coke using people tend to get on my nerves (even if they are not on coke right now) and get dumber in some ways, while with people using K, I don't have that.
Coke using people tend to get on my nerves
Coke use increases aggression and paranoia. My baseline behavioral profile is laid-back and slightly goofy. On coke, I'm a raging, sarcastic, borderline-violent dickhead. Luckily, I had enough self-awareness and self-discipline to walk away from it.
My own experience with K users is much less positive than yours. I won't even let them in my house, and it saddens me to see how wilted and lifeless they become after habitual use. It might possibly have some value in a controlled clinical setting, but as a recreational drug, it's shite.

What the fuck is it with the "Tech Friendly" companies going to shit?
They grew up getting their heads shoved into toilets, and are now eager to shove somebody else's head into the toilet. I'm in my mid-30s, and I absolutely remember the teachers turning a blind eye to a bunch of kids ganging up on me with sticks in middle school, only to get detention for hitting them back with the book of arthurian legends I was trying to read.
We basically got taught that bullying is a good thing the strong do to the weak, and it fucked up multiple generations.

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...
Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.
Somehow, I knew it was Eich man.

You're right and it's so fucking annoying. I really want someone to jump into the niche and provide support for those of us who get to remember how to sysadmin again.
I don't want/need "plug and play" but I also don't really have time to relearn everything I knew "in a prior life."
Suggestions? At this point I'd love to have a backend for my email that isn't Microsoft.

What is a "real coin"? Like a dime?
Yes (Chad face)

"Glowies"? As in "glow in the dark CIA n-words"? Bro turned into Tarry Davis.

Urban dictionary says it's a term that refers to when an undercover government agent fails to blend in with whoever they're trying to blend in with.

very good to hear that you managed to get away from coke 🫶
Yea, maybe it more manageable to consume K responsible than coke but on heavy use it goes in a similar direction
But nonetheless, everyone reading this, stay away from K, coke, Xanax, benzodiazepines, meth, opiates and all the other that I forgot, those are all very dangerous.

I dont go on 4chan though, the only exposure I have to it is occasionally reading greentext vids/stories on other sites.
I was just on a random rabbit hole that Briefly involved templeOS and somehow ended up on the "hit CIA with your car they arent humans" video

Pretty sure there's at least one quote of Davis himself using the n-word to refer to federal agents before describing how bright they glow..

Oh, it's almost as if brave has always sucked.

That's the thing. They always were shit, just with Trump's War on Woke, they now feel like the money they've always spent on good will of the public, DEI programs, keeping a muzzle on the racist/misogynistic/bigoted person running the company isn't really needed. Now all that "wasted" money can go where it belongs...into shareholder profits.
I like to say it has become fashionable not to hide it. Lol.

Eich should have been banned from any technical enterprise after inflicting Javascript on us all. His shitty views just reinforce that position further.
Agreed, his garbage attempt at Self has caused long term ramifications for software development. We could have been using a real language for years now.

I run a small thinclient (HP Mini G400, but those small Lenovos thinkcentres and others also work) in my home. Cost me ~100€ plus a few Euro for a RAM update and a bigger hard drive and now I'm running Proxmox with the help of the Community Scripts:
https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
It's quite awesome, to be honest.
I just did a similar setup with a custom built NUC and I even got PCI Passthrough working. I want to get as many years out of this as possible. Proxmox is great.

Is this dude schizophrenic or something? What the fuck does he mean "Irish only apply"?
The irony that he is mad about woke when irish people were also shit fury on.

Would that apply to James Bond? I've always wondered how everyone in those movies didn't instantly know who he was. Kinda like Archer. Archer is definitely a glowie.

I see what you did there

Yeah, that works too
