Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be proven wrong and see it succeed, but it takes a LOT more than welding together a steel soda can with engines to get there.

And that's the thing. It's great for casual users who do simple computing tasks, and it's great for the programmers, hackers, and IT professionals. But there's no middle ground for power users who know a bit more than the average users but can't be bothered to learn shell scripting.

I feel if you're still making fun of furries at this point and not just ignoring them and moving on with your life, you need to pull yo ass out of 2005 and get new jokes. That Vanity Fair article was like almost 20-fucking years ago.

Edit: I take that back after looking it up, it was OVER 20 fucking years ago.

Cryo boiloff for long duration missions hasn't been solved, for one. Have you seen how much it vents just sitting on the pad?

That's what Starship is for. A giant, cheap, stainless steel space truck built by blue collar welders that will vomit out hundreds of them before returning to Earth intact to pick up some more.

The whole Mars thing is just for PR. He has a different use for it. That thing ain't ever making it to Mars.

Actually, failing to address any of my points and just hammering on the "Musk bad" seems childish to me.

I've heard "speak American" coming out of one's mouth once.

I think it's the other way around...you WANT everything he touches to be a scam.

I don't like the guy either, but Starlink is a real, actual product that tons of people are using just fine right now. Also, his rockets are allowing the US to continue to send personnel to the space station without relying on Russia. That is not a scam either.

C and C++ are awesome and I hope they survive for another 50 years. Sorry Python folks. I just can't get past the strange syntax. Gimme my curly braces, away with this function block spacing crap.

The people who are into this were always there amongst the nerds. They just never spoke up out of fear and social ostracism.

Furrys are not a new "Internet" thing, the fandom has been active since like, the 70s when it branched off other fantasy fandoms. It was all started by a small group of people going to scifi cons.

Mac: $2495

IBM PC: $1565

For some reason they had all the school markets captured though. All throughout the 80s and up to the mid-90s, when I was growing up, it was all nothing but Apple IIs and Macs everywhere. The few DOS/Win 3.0 machines I saw were Novell Netware workstations for the teachers to use.

Now I guess they're all chromebooks.

You may be more interested in the Steam Deck, a ready-to-go Linux gaming system that doesn't require terminal proficiency. Just turn it on and play like a Nintendo Switch.

You ready to raise taxes on higher income brackets to make it happen, cap'n? ESPECIALLY motherfuckers like the Waltons, Musk, and Bezos.

I have a feeling you won't agree to that.

My TI-84 Plus is my holy oracle, I will go with whatever it says.

And then get distracted and play some Doom.

Missed opportunity to bake Doom into the kernel as an Easter Egg.

Yeah we solved this problem in the 50s by including a clock signal in some form with the data. Most modern digital communications use it.

Or I can just NOT waste my life and my sanity trying to remember all that BS and just use a mouse and a GUI editor. I have no need to feel like a hackerman.

But at least they're not a drummer.
