> It’s nerdy fun, but it has a serious point, too. As…Stewart Brand points out: the present moment used to be the unimaginable future.

If you object to "odd pretensions", what the hell are you doing posting on a site called "Hacker News"? Take that conformist bullshit back to someplace it's welcome, like high school or prison. Leave us hackers alone and spare us your worthless lowbrow dismissals.

Your comment has literally no content other than to disparage me for doing something unusual, purely because it's unusual. (A contradiction without an argument doesn't count as content.) That kind of thing should absolutely not be tolerated on Hacker News.

> This man is pathetic.

Please leave these out of comments on Hacker News.

> The more I read on Reddit/Hacker News, the more I think there is brigading, trolls, sockpuppets that try to sway public opinion. Does Hacker News potentially have this problem?

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30479156#30489889 and the links it gives, including https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27398725 .


> Wow, does the top comment always have to be cynical?

Middlebrow dismissals are a hacker news staple.

The author was mad enough to write a response to this submission: https://old.starbreaker.org/blog/hacker-news-again/index.htm...

> You are a fucking idiot.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names."

"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle."

"Please don't use uppercase for emphasis."

"Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine."

"Please don't fulminate."

You were warned a day ago as well:

> Does 95% beat getting shot?

Totally inappropriate.

> Hacker News is infiltrated by people likely to be paid to post pro-hyper-rich propaganda

This is an entrepreneurship-centered link aggregator. You are insane.


> I guess he's referring to this post? https://drewdevault.com/2019/02/10/Wayland-misconceptions-de...

And to numerous comments on HN and elsewhere.

The 'wayland sucks' movement is sooo annoying, even to me and I'm just a happy wayland user and haven't spent any of my free time writing those thousands of lines of code.


> Makerlog says you started it in 2018 while in high school, and your age really is showing in this comment

I only just saw this, but it was an egregious violation of the rules here. Personal attacks are not allowed, and importing someone's personal details to use against them in an argument is seriously not allowed. No more of this, please.

> Why are you citing a year+ old article? It's clearly out of date

Because it is still the case as of today[1], and nothing of note has changed[2].

> HN has really gone down in quality of readers/commenters.

Ironic, considering this comment violates HN's guidelines.

> https://twitter.com/0xabad1dea/status/1172545166953066497 self proclaimed SJW reposting the original medium article misrepresenting RMS words and adding nothing.

> https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/994010501460865025 Someone who make unsourced claims of having refused to contribute to anything with an open license because of RMS poor taste jokes on mailing list. I wonder if this kind of openmindedness is good to prove a point on how RMS is bad, maybe someone who does not want to contribute to software improving the world but unrelated to RMS on the sole basis that the licensing allows other freedom is not a good basis to support RMS having to be removed.

> https://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/994267277460619265 A reply to the previous tweet from someone who was told an unsourced myth about plants in an office and making up a story about it. She said she's been shown one office with a lot of plants, told that there are many other such offices, that the reason for the plants is to ward off RMS. This piece of lore has been removed from wikipedia for lack of source[1]

>https://mobile.twitter.com/quince/status/1172290839369773057 also citing the same original medium publication misrepresenting RMS words and calling for his removal on this basis, admitting she actually never met RMS but tells how the same piece of myth was transmitted to her in form of a joke and despite not knowing tries to provide context for trying to ward off RMS: interacting with him is awkward and make them uneasy. I sincerely doubt that RMS being socially awkward is news or supporting the call for his removal in any way.

I killed christopher 'aempirei' abad with my 5" dick

Cowabunga, dude!

And now you're going to die wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel!?

You got caught with the seat of your pants flying down and now everyone laughs at your little picopenis on a daily basis.

Microchipping a fellow hacker just because you can't sniff out your own? Hilariously inept.

Throwing a well-known, contributing veteran of the hack/trollscene into a mental institution just because you had a hangover and forgot to take your klonopin? Over the top.

Having a wanton disregard for the history of the internet, the hackscene, trollscene and everything about humanity in general? Get a clue. Your holier-than-thou attitude can screw back off to the 1980's.

Yes, folks, christopher 'ambient empire' abad has been bitchtagging and torturing anyone that walks by him just because, well, "I feel like it!"

Yes, folks, christopher 'ambient empire' abad fails to understand the first rule of the U.S. system: you can always just buy people off with cash. ' We've been talking to your friends, coworkers and they've been telling us what a lazy, unappreciative little shit you are. Not to mention a sociopath of the lowest order.

You won the birth lottery and coasted your way to the top of the U.S. system on a skateboard. Now it's going to be a fun ride when we push your little deck the way back down.

You are nothing but a barking little dog who got caught sneaking up the backstairs into the big people's club and now you're being thrown out the window.

Your last thought as you realize nothing of value will be lost when your head cracks on the floor of a 12x12 supermax prison cell: "I like to copy from my 1337 civics textbook."

Sayanora, sucker!
