@paulg @McCormickProf Not sure about Clinton. Havel gained posthumous popularity like Jesus. He was the better alternative to the hated commies and did not live long enough for his darker sides to draw too much attention. Nowadays we project everything good onto him like onto an icon.

@esrtweet "The politicians did what they wanted anyway."
Politics in Britain is so disconnected from the will of majority that people really start noticing more than just two parties. Why not USA? What is the difference?

@KarelPatak1 Myslite, ze proti vzostupu NSDAP a AfD a podobnych zafunguje apelovat na detailne znalosti historie sirokych mas obyvatelstva? Alebo by mozno radsej stalo za pokus obcas nieco "nedojebat"? Ceska republika pevne voli prvu moznost.

@KarelPatak1 "Všechno skutečně důležitý dojebali"
-- Karel Patak

... potom smutili, ze uz nie su zvoleni. Potom kricali "extremisti", pritom ti volici boli uplne normalni. Volici iba chceli, aby konecne raz niekto nieco nedojebal, ale nedostali lepsiu moznost na vyber.

@OmegaNekoSimp @esrtweet PS: That was the main point of the system, not a byproduct. People could not build anything significant that was not directly controlled by the state - in order to achieve the beautiful equality of being all equally poor, and to preserve total power of the state.

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@OmegaNekoSimp @esrtweet [...] People were free to program as many variants of pong and tetris on PMD-85 (if they were able to steal those rare PMDs) but building something significant like today's Kubernetes would mean police raids, confiscations, prison, ban on education for perpetrators' children etc.

@michalblaha [...] Tlupa opic sa krikom snazi presvedcit samu seba, ze je vacsia a mocnejsia nez druha tlupa opic. Druha tlupa opic robi to iste.

Media 20. storocia trpia prepadom dovery a relevancie. Pomeriavanie poctu Muskovych followerov to nezvrati. Konstruktivnejsie riesenie sa nenajde?

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@michalblaha Tento druh hadky o pomeriavani pindikov je trapny a nedostojny.
"Tvoj pindik urcite nemoze byt vacsi nez moj pindik pretoze ty tu vytahujes argument za velkost tvojho pindika a ten argument neplati pretoze si falsoval meranie." [...]

@esrtweet @zoidz00 No, he's right. It is an awesome case study. With a negative result, of course, since the vast majority of open source is produced in capitalist countries. Surprisingly quite a lot in post-communist countries. Negligible amount in actual socialist/communist countries.

@DenethorHurin @esrtweet @wendelltalks Yes, exactly my point. If he insisted that a local mayor's horse must dance waltz so his patients do not die of fewer, he would not be opposed. He would be ignored. Rarely ridiculed, at best. He was forcefully opposed exactly because his ideas and results were plausible.

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@DenethorHurin @esrtweet @wendelltalks Indeed. And today, people are being put to jail for observing that a morbidly obese politician is indeed obese. "Forcefully denied" does not contradict "plausible and widely known". If the intelligence of a raging crowd or insulted celebrity is your guiding light, ok, your choice

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@DenethorHurin @esrtweet @wendelltalks Decide for yourself. You can not rule out pink teapotism. Can not rule out if Atum created Shu and Tefnut, or whether I am a god and you sending me a million dollars ensures your eternal life. Which of those you try to confirm experimentally, spending a million?

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@DenethorHurin @esrtweet @wendelltalks Dirt causing bad healing of wounds is known since bronze age (probably much longer). Reason enough to imagine a similar process and run experiments.
A different kind of silly than not knowing if a pink teapot improves healing, or having no conceivable experiments at all.

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@DenethorHurin @esrtweet @wendelltalks To call yourself an 'ateapotist' or a 'can-not-rule-out-teapotism-agnostic' is both silly. Both entertains silliness as serious. 'Atheism' as a word deserves to exist only as a tribal flag because of the sheer number and impact of the theists that can not be ignored.

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@DenethorHurin @esrtweet @wendelltalks You aren't in a position to rule out a pink teapot. Anyway, 'teapotism' or 'ateapotism' is not even a serious question. Ideas must earn the privilege to be rejected by being plausible at first. You can not rule out teapotism but you know a teapotist is a moron. [1/2]

@esrtweet OS: kernel + drivers + container runtime. Everything else containerized, flatpaks, whatever is the popular flavor of containers. OS itself snapshotted by ostree or zfs or .... That makes rollback a non-issue. You can go wild and yet stay safe. Fedora Silverblue maybe? Gentoo?

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@KelseyTuoc @lymanstoneky Costly dangerous virtue signaling without any actual virtue runs rampant and the other people are fed up. Especially people who are not selfish predatory individualists but who truly want to cooperate and create shared values tend to be deeply disgusted these days.

@esrtweet @IterIntellectus Second order effects are usually modelled using complicated payoff functions.

[Frantisek Kluknavsky @rudohor]

@esrtweet @IterIntellectus Game theory uses a stronger notion of "responds to incentives" as well - "maximizes payoff". Whether Nash equilibria make sense without common knowledge of rationality - topic too big for a tweet but it exists within game theory, often with even stronger definition of rationality
