Oh no, what if some of my favourite CONTENT CREATORS weren't able to CREATE CONTENT as a profession for the lack of advertising revenue. We might regress back to the barbaric days of 2009!

solely this allows many websites you probably like to use, to exist in the first place.

I'm used to loss. Bring it on.

The market can remain irrational for longer than you and I can remain ~~solvent~~ sane.

Heading towards a very enjoyable and economically sustainable future where the advertising industry is somehow bigger than the goods and services industries that supposedly need its services. But before I get into that, speaking of goods and services, this comment is sponsored by OpeRaid Shadow VPN, the only energy drink/razor blade delivery service for Pro Gamers…

Sites you visit can ask Chrome for your interests to show you ads.

Nifty. Let's ask what my browser has to offer instead (Firefox + uBlock Origin).

Sites can not show you ads.

Hmm that's a tough choice hmm.

I think Sneer Club understands the Less Wrong worldview well enough. They just happen to reject it.

Wow, someone gets it.

I love the idea of my genome encoding someone else's athletic performance.

A lot of things in programming are in fact evidence of natural selection rather than intelligent design.

Literal cringe. This non-figuratively annoys me to the point I involuntarily wince in displeasure.

Oversimplified edgelord's guide to building an actual DnD litch/KKK style death cult for the ultimate nefarious purpose of… what? Getting to feel cool for once in your life or whatever? There are less embarrassing ways to boost your self esteem you know?

I like hooded cloaks, wavy ceremonial daggers and pretend wizard shit as much as the next person but I've come to despise all kinds of sincere SEKRIT KLUB type shit from student fraternities to even more nazi possibly student fraternities. It always feels like egomaniacal autofellatio for everyone involved.

At least wait until you're old enough to have a midlife crisis, maybe at that point joining masons/shriners/rotaries/lions seems more age-appropriate.

my mental netcode

That not only sounds like robot LARP but a gamer attempting to talk like a programmer. I haven't heard the word "netcode" used outside of video games context and even taking it as a metaphor for an aspect of human decision making, it shouldn't be responsible for determining the agency of someone's behavior.

It's a good documentary, though slightly sensationalized at times and pretty light on detail of TempleOS itself. An accessible introduction for those previously unfamiliar with Davis and TempleOS.

Much is made of the admittedly impressive achievement of Terry creating an OS from scratch in the first place, which unfortunately tends to distract from the interesting features of TempleOS itself. Feel free to discuss the HolyC compiler and its integration to the system, the pervasive hypertext allowing embedded media even in HolyC source code, the editor providing modal views of said hypertext in rich and plain form, the online documentation system including a surprisingly helpful (if somewhat incomplete) tutorial and the dry humor popping up in some places such as having a category of "unfun games" included with the distribution.
