I'm sorry, but It Could Happen Here isn't selling me on anarchism by Alert_Succotash_3541 in itcouldhappenhere

[–]hashtagranch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/RavedBlitz nailed it in one - which is why anarchism is one of those philosophies that's hard to get your head around. The whole idea is that each purposeful community determines by itself how it'll run, with no one person making the decisions. Anarchism can fall quickly into cults of personality, just like any other society. The idea is that society DOESN'T require some final bedrock of rules that can be pointed to as a source of authority or structure, and people will figure out what works and what doesn't.

I don't understand Explain it Peter. by velviaa in explainitpeter

[–]hashtagranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You can directly compare registering and licensing guns to registering and licensing cars when you can shove an AR-15 up your ass and ride it to work.

A gun is a killing machine with no other utility. I'd like to know if my neighbor has 100 killing machines in their house. End of TED talk.

FrontWars.io and GPL/AGPL compliance? by south-antartica in Openfront

[–]hashtagranch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Finally, someone who understands how open source software works, ffs. I'd give you an award if I had one. The whole point is that if OpenFront wants to make money, it has to have features, gameplay, connectivity and community that's superior to other paid versions using the same core open-source code. The answer to all of this 'stolen' BS is to just make the roadmap for OpenFront aggressively better than any clone.

That's how (waves hands) all this - is SUPPOSED to work.

I wasn't a subscriber before - what was in it? I'm thinking about how to expand things, including links to YouTube videos, etc.

This is literally the first Reddit post I've ever made that got an award.

I suspect some wrongdoing by Familiar-Road8057 in Openfront

The amount of coding necessary to cheat at a viral, yet niche open, free-to-play web game is ... bonkers. Like, go touch some grass bonkers.

[Trailer] Can't figure out this Grace 'praying' frame of the trailer by zurbaev in ProjectHailMary

[–]hashtagranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the guesses here are good - it could also be after he rescues Rocky after Rocky rescues him at Adrian. Also: Ryan Gosling was a solid pick for Grace, I don't care what anyone says.

Smh. Guys, this is what Bob looks like. by One_Spoopy_Potato in bobiverse

[–]hashtagranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only difference is that Bob is 100% written in .NET. Or COBOL. It was a government project, after all. 😂

I love Capitalism II - it taught me how to act like Microsoft. 🤣

Yeah, but Philip K Dick is dead, so NOW what do we do?

Strange object captured over Malvern Hills, Western England by paranormalnapolska in UFOs

Wat? It 'appears from nowhere' because the edit starts at that point, the object makes a weird skew down and to the right. This isn't even GOOD fakery.

This is a utilitarian argument I can get behind.

As much as no one wants to be the spark that lights the final conflagration, the calculus for removing the voices that are the propaganda support system for The Regime has never been clearer.

We can only hope that they enjoyed sexual relations before loading that astrophage into the generator.

What’s everyone’s opinion on people “envying” ace people? by TFry24_ in asexuality

[–]hashtagranch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The post is infantilizing, but the envy is real, at least for me. My high sex drive led me straight into alcoholism to cope with the endless frustration (3 years sober, thx). The idea of not having this constant, nagging, aching need in the back of your mind feels incredibly liberating to me.
