Got a chance to talk to Miles Alan about his amazing projects:
* (Early days of) #Sxmo
* framebufferphone: new UI
* Mepo: new map app for Sxmo, fbp, Phosh, possibly PlaMo & more
* Why he likes #zig and #oilshell

@aral Indeed. As much as I wish copyleft wasn't necessary (it can be needlessly cumbersome), situations like these show how invaluable it can be.
@penny I'm really annoyed that most languages don't have a single word for that, best I could find is "mudita".
@chiasm Quite impressive that the acronyms both work.
@victor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowsay, although I'm not sure whether this is what you were asking about.
@victor Someone let you install linux without cowsay installed? Clearly their fault.
Realistically speaking, utopias would probably look a bit grubby and lived-in, especially if we're talking about low-key, actually achievable utopias as opposed to chrome and food pills.
That's the side-effect of making an actually liveable society, people are gonna live in it, and leave stains, scuffmarks, wear, tear and grafitti behind.
@chjara@mk.absturztau.be That's called "the lizardman constant", a couple percent of answers to any poll are complete garbage. https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/04/12/noisy-poll-results-and-reptilian-muslim-climatologists-from-mars/
@urusan This question bothered me, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out why.
If I set up a company it would be a cooperative from the start, and it would stay that way. So it wouldn't even be my decision, because no single person should be taking decisions that significantly change other people's lives without their input.
In practice this means I'll probably never start a company. <<"
@CyReVolt Huh, I wanted this to be a playful complaint, apparently I failed at the first part, sorry about that. The popcorn comment made me expect some amusing takedown there, which made it unpleasant to read.
Also thanks for the source, as the latter part of my previous post implies I actually learned something so it was useful, even if unpleasant.
Programmer and researcher,. Ended up working with all the current buzzwords: #ai #aisafety #ml #deeplearning #cryptocurrency
Other interests include #sewing, being #lesswrong, reading #hardsf, playing #boardgames and omitting stuff on lists.
Oh, and trans rights, duh.
