@aral Of course there's a pretty good reason why screenshots on macOS aren't taken using the Print Screen key...

@aramloosman @dualhammers @alcinnz @riveck Gets tricky with old computer hardware too, once you factor in energy consumption, where you get your electricity from, plus heat output and how that affects your HVAC bills.

Sure, you can repair a PDP-11 and run Unix on it, but at 2kW or more plus cooling costs how long would it take before the emissions impact exceeded that of a new Raspberry Pi running on 6W or less?

@xerz @rysiek Taking out a flash loan, buying votes, using them to transfer cash, and returning the loan all in a few seconds using software *is the hack*.

@rysiek @RyunoKi As someone on Twitter just pointed out to me, this was really a leveraged hostile takeover followed by asset stripping — all of which is standard capitalism and perfectly legal when corporations do it.

@rysiek @RyunoKi To me this is classic hacker work: making use of unintended consequences of a software system.

I also don't really see it as a scam — the entire system worked exactly as it was designed to, and nobody was lied to.

This is great: "stable" coin project relies on community governance, so a hacker borrows $1b, uses it to get a 67% voting stake, votes that the project should wire them $182m, then pays back the huge loan and exits -- all in the space of 13 seconds. The "stable" coin immediately crashes.

@ajroach42 Primer

Made on a budget of $7k, which is just insane.

Pi, budget of $60k crowdsourced

Imagine a world where we had 100 movies like Pi or Primer instead of one of the next half dozen Spider Man movies.

Yes, there are tractor-pull combine harvesters, which just reinforces the fact that self-powered combine harvesters are not tractors. Damn coastal elites.

Can't log in to a web site because a combine harvester is not a tractor and I refuse to tell Google otherwise.

@ajroach42 The way Intel and Microsoft set out to destroy the OLPC is one of their evils which doesn't get remembered enough.
