- aliqot 4y agoIt's weird how some things were intentionally made different just to be that way, like the binary true/false is reversed. Yarvin said he did it to be different and because it was funny.
- actionfromafar 4y agoAll cults operate in a similar way. It's important to have a very distinct in-group with codes only fully understood internally.
- aliqot 4y agoshaved-head earthtones guy with the cult eyes in their youtube videos does them no favors. First thing I said when watching one of their conference talks "oh shit did i just wander into a cult" edit: this guy https://youtu.be/g1qroWiZF90 https://youtu.be/g1qroWiZF90

- masklinn 4y ago> shaved-head earthtones guy with the cult eyes in their youtube videos does them no favors. Doesn’t it? It’s the same as scams, selecting against people who recognise cults is a feature, it means you don’t have to weed those out. Means your recruitment process is that much more efficient.
- Lammy 4y agoThere are plenty of things worth criticizing in Urbit, IMO mostly related to the recreation of real-world scarcity as a digital namespace. Nobody seems to mind this very much in POSIX: [Lammy#~] true && echo $? 0
- gonehome 4y agoYeah, I’ve always found this complaint weird. It’s like that in Unix and 0 being true (or default) while 1 is error also feels more intuitive to me.
