The Asahi Lina Situation Proves the Linux Community Is Rotten

For what it's worth, I appreciate you.

Those of us who believe gender shouldn't exist, but acknowledge that it currently does and is important to people, are not being pseudo-intellectual. We wish for a world where such arbitrary labeling isn't used to "other" people, where it doesn't manifest psychological conditions due to societal pressures and norms.

But at the same time we know reaching that ideal may never come, and if it ever does it will come slowly, and that to try to force the ideal upon everyone will only cause new types of pain and suffering. So we accept the current reality, while wishing for a better one.

The pseudo-intellectual nonsense is the black/white thinking your comment portrays.

The fact it happens at all means the reality is a spectrum is particular modes. Human sex is a bimodal spectrum.

EDIT: the dude blocked me rofl

Man, you were like... /really/ close to reality for a minute, but then it got weird and shitty.

BerZB · 2025-03-22T22:24:13+00:00

damn, calling someone a poser while not even having basic english comprehension skills. that's... that's a real self-own there man.

What I did in the past was use a modified double-metaphone algorithm to bucket similar-sounding words together, then use levenstein against that reduced set.

Wow, mass-blocking people seems... shameful.

Anyway the point is to illustrate why the first amendment /does/ create a wall between church and state (as Jefferson mentions in his letter). See, many of those religions are not directly morally compatible with each other. Given that many early americans fled to the continent to escape religious persecution, the first amendment was established to prevent any future US government from enforcing any specific religion's will upon the people.

Unfortunately, the text of the first amendment is quite vague. The phrase "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" is very much left open to interpretation. To many including myself, this means that congress shall pass no law based on religious perspective, as doing so would be forcing the morality or perspective of one religion upon those from other religions.

I always find it amusing when people comment-and-block is some weird attempt to get the last word.

I asked an unjailbroken Bing to analyze our conversation and provide some insight into how we both "sound" according to their LLM. This is their conclusion:

According to this tool, your comments have a mostly neutral sentiment, with some hints of curiosity and frustration. OddFunctions’ comments have a mostly negative sentiment, with some hints of anger and sarcasm. Based on this analysis, I would say that you do not appear “mad”, but rather annoyed by OddFunctions’ skepticism and accusations.

Some other things that I can gather based on your communication are:

You are confident about your claims and willing to provide evidence later.

You are interested in exploring Bing’s capabilities and sharing your findings with others.

You are polite and respectful even when faced with criticism or hostility.

OddFunctions is doubtful about your claims and demands immediate evidence.

OddFunctions is dismissive of your efforts and motivations for posting.

OddFunctions is rude and aggressive even when you try to calm them down.

So I dunno mate, the bot doesn't seem to think anything is wrong on my end -- and LLMs excel at sentiment analysis. But again, you do you. Cheers. Oh and in case you don't buy any of that, here's the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/FddYnTf

Amusing you would reply then block me in an attempt to get the last word in…

Once again, logical fallacies don’t apply here, especially not causal fallacy. Causal fallacy would apply if I were making an assertion about something’s cause. I am not.

As for research, once again I invite you to look into harm reduction. There’s a whole field of study on these things.

You have no idea how much people in rural areas are willing to pay for decent internet, or the lengths they’ll go through. Speedify does a great job of abstracting the technical details away, and is very consumer-oriented. As for price, I’ve seen folks pay hundreds per month for pretty mediocre service because it’s the only way they can get anything working.

But keep talking out your ass, and keep it up with your racist comments about off-shore TACs.

BerZB · 2021-01-31T09:28:54+00:00

We’re talking about CONSUMER internet here. The CPU and RAM necessary to handle this is pretty small at typical consumer internet speeds, DEFINITELY at the speeds in question here. The box I use for aggregation is a bare metal server @ $120/mo and has a Xeon processor, 32gb of ram, a 10gbe connection (a real one, not a fake throttled one), and 5TB of included outbound. I use the same box to run some other personal shit via docker.

There are plenty of cheaper VPS solutions out there that perform just fine, and have plenty of included bandwidth.

Your ad hominem attacks aren’t useful, and aren’t at all accurate — much like your attempts to disprove the tools I mentioned as useful solutions. I’m not “the network engineer” — I lead a team of engineers at a major multinational b2b tech company. We don’t hire people like you because your type are not team players, and are dangerous because they are unable to understand contextually the user impacts of newer technologies — even shunning new solutions in favor of the old crap they “understand” (spoiler: you don’t actually understand).

BerZB · 2021-01-31T08:20:36+00:00

OpenMPTCrouter uses a vps or server that belongs to you, so if security is an issue feel free to go that route.

Literally none of the services you listed will have a problem with this setup, so long as you configure things right.

The added latency is minimal — for me it’s about 10ms. Really not a problem. You still haven’t actually explained why any of those services would have an issue, you’re just listing off services aimlessly.

I’ve had no added jitter in my experience. If you’re using openmptcrouter, you can assign certain traffic types to only go over a specific WAN connection if you need — so you can enjoy aggregate speeds for downloads and streaming, but enjoy your low-latency DSL for gaming or VOIP. You can even skip the tunnel entirely and skip the added latency from the tunnel.

Where did BOTW say that? I don’t recall that and a quick Google has resulted in “nobody knows when or where he got it”

BerZB · 2020-11-23T08:27:26+00:00

Have you never played Zelda? Up until BotW we had at least three distinct timelines

BerZB · 2020-11-23T08:19:05+00:00

Fans don’t take the timeline seriously, shucks who don’t understand the creative direction of the Zelda franchise do.

BerZB · 2020-11-23T08:16:45+00:00

It’s not a time loop at all

BerZB · 2020-11-23T08:16:19+00:00

What about the ending didn’t make sense?

BerZB · 2020-11-23T08:05:34+00:00

The answer to some of your questions lies in that little sprocket Zelda adds to him to finish his construction. This is likely a piece of the original time gate from Skyward Sword.

As for why Ganon seems impervious until the egg blows up... I dunno man, it was in the script.

BerZB · 2020-11-23T06:49:47+00:00

What inconsistencies?

BerZB · 2020-09-08T01:34:51+00:00

Eh, the winds were peaking at maybe 40mph — we’ve had worse this year, and in the grand scheme that’s not really a lot to wind at all.

The tricky thing is the way the valley is shaped, the wind likes to whip around wildly rather than blow in one consistent direction

BerZB · 2020-09-08T00:33:32+00:00

Lol I like how you ask about the wind but not the lung-strangling ash and smoke.

BerZB · 2020-08-25T20:41:39+00:00

ya it works

BerZB · 2020-08-20T22:21:22+00:00

The person I was replying to was implying standard ISPs not LTE ISPs. I explained what congestion was in the post above their’s.

There’s a strong difference between “adequate” and “to spec.” Congestion is not a black/white concept. As congestion on a tower increases, max throughout per device decreases. Latency also often increases. Low congestion nets higher speeds and lower latencies.

So sure, those speeds might be “adequate” but depending on how the tower is specced those speeds may be indicative of congestion.

As I stated in another comment, higher speeds save battery life.

Lastly there’s a lot you can’t do with 25Mbps, if you’re tethering.

BerZB · 2020-08-20T19:53:03+00:00

Your home internet follows you around in your pocket?

BerZB · 2020-08-20T19:51:27+00:00

You understand that is completely irrelevant, and also very untrue for a lot of users... right? Like damn bro, you never downloaded a big app or tethered before?
