Hi, @neauoire I'm writing an essay where I analyze the various kind of data and software among them.

I argue that every single software out there is in fact a virtual machine that execute programs.

Take a jpeg viewer: it executes JPEG files to draw pixel on a raster screen.

That's something that derives from #Dijkstra definition of computers (see EWD898) and universal turing machines.

What if Uxn was in fact the building block of a new agevof computing?

Imagine composing little indipendent machines that communicate over a simple protocol...

Also what was wrong with simplicity on lobsters, now?

@wolf480pl

Well, that's a good question.

I cannot think of anything like that.

We have harse debate, "polemica" which is a totally destructive mode of arguing is developed to artistic levels and so are invectives ("invettiva") where you attack someone you hate (or pretend to) with all the argument you can think of.

But the point is that you always have at least one message to convey, to the other side and/or to the bystenders.

Shitposting does not.

Thats why it's not done with malice (except when done as a form of marketing that, I would say, is specific of the fediverse): it's like leaving your waste in a park because you don't care or you find it funny.

I can't think of anything like that in Italian literature.

I guess we have shitposter here now, but they are mostly fictional shitposter.
Because you know, after decades of USA influence, Italians follow american fashion and all.

We ARE a US colony, right now.

And yet shitposting still sound like a pointless waste of people time, cpu cycles and bandwidth.

That's why I felt @izaya was right about you being unable to understand shitposting because you are European.

@cowanon

Colonialism has never been a cospiration: it has always been done in plain sight.

Also it could not be a successful cospiracy if it had to coordinate millions of people.

No, it's not a cospiracy.

It's just people influences by US synthetic culture over the world being clever by doing... US things.

OR maybe I'm too european to understand the deep meaning of shitposting, after all. 😇

@wolf480pl @izaya

@wolf480pl

No.

I'm arguing they are mindlessy polluting the global noosphere because they can (slow language barrier). And they can do so mindlessy because they are an imperialist nation.

@izaya

@wolf480pl

That's how colonialism work, indeed. 😉

@izaya

@izaya

In fact I think shitposting is a US colonial tool.

It's not joking, it's not sarcasm or irony... it's not even meant to attract attention or to produce a feedback.

It's shitting into the global noosphere, just like many company pollute the biosphere.

A very US thing, indeed.

@vagrantc

Very good news!

But isn't branch prediction the root of all evil?

@wolf480pl

Rational reasons... or rationalizations?

Confondete liberisti e liberali.

Ai liberisti non frega niente della privacy, ma solo del profitto.

Ai liberali non frega niente del profitto, ma solo della libertà (e dunque della privacy).

Confondendoli elogiate i primi ed insultate i secondi.

Ed il fatto che i secondi siano ormai estinti non è una buona scusa.
