It's an interesting article about tech. I don't care about the author's crazy political views but enjoyed the article.
Please don't ban something because of an unrelated aspect of the author.
- ahofmann 4y agoYes, please! Politics, technical inventions and the things people do in their free time are different things! Please stop mixing all of those together. This is a ad hominem attack and I can't stand it.
- Akronymus 4y agoReminds me of this quote from a game dev: “If Stalin had a good writeup on programming, would linking that be dangerous, because some people might read it, start liking HIM, thus start liking communism and the ineviteble mass murder that follows it? Is this how little we trust other individuals when it comes to access to information? I personally trust my readers to have the ability to create their own opinions instead of blindly following whatever says the person they like.” I have many people I dislike on a personal level, but still praise for their technical abilities.
- robertlagrant 4y ago"So you think snow is white? Did you know Joseph Stalin thinks snow is white?"
- Akronymus 4y agoI am not sure I get what you want to communicate with that.
- robertlagrant 4y agoIt's a (probably mis-)quote from a passage that demonstrates what you're saying.
- Akronymus 4y agoOoooh, gotcha. Basically the hitler liked dogs so people who like dogs are nazis example?
- robertlagrant 4y agoYup :)
