If the beam is powerful enough, you’d just aim beforehand and let the satellite slide into it. Not like the fucker can dodge.

Honestly the control electronics are not why this super doesn’t work.

mindbleach ,

Could do it by hand, if you’re patient enough. Again: not like the satellite has much say in the matter. It’s gonna be at a specific point, at a specific time. You don’t even need to cover the mirrors, since the sun won’t be at the right angle for all of them to converge until that intended moment.

Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer pulled the same sneering bullshit in 2020.

Anyone who parrots this sincerely can be blocked without hesitation or regret. No, the guy at war with Ukraine because he’s mad at NATO does not actually want the guy funding Ukraine instead of the guy undermining NATO.

I can’t even comprehend the people somehow awed by this trivial child-move. It is the most obvious stupid lie he could tell, and it doesn’t even prevent him from later saying the exact opposite, because the people who buy it don’t really care about words.

Well one’s a democratically elected and broadly reasonable ally, and the other’s a dictator-for-life who’s practically had The Idiot kiss his feet on television. I will not spend one instant humoring any dingus who goes ‘hurr hurr which is which.’

If you can’t figure out whether anyone can trust Vladimir god damn Putin, you have my sincere pity.

Multiple registered foreign agents ran The Idiot’s campaign. At least one of them went to prison.

For starters.

You can stop fucking this chicken.

edit: And he invited Russian spooks into the Oval Office, which we only know about because of Russian photographers.

edit: And his campaign met Russian agents in his big dumb building specifically to negotiate quid-pro-quo sanction relief for dirt on Hillary.

Aaand blocked.

Oh, an alpha version, not some revival of SPARC. I know RISC-V laptops are almost a thing, and MIPS is trying to make a comeback. It’s not beyond the realm of what’s possible.

Certainly it’s better than my initial read of System76 doing anything with COSMAC.

mindbleach ,

Maybe start !CobraChicken or what have you.

When Jesus put a thousand demons into a bunch of pigs, they had to be alive enough to immediately run off a cliff.

This pissed off the entire town and got his ass chased out.

Matthew 8:28-34.

mindbleach ,

Pay him or get bent.

mindbleach ,

But if you make a suggestion about him - just one guy! - that’s beyond the line.

mindbleach ,

Dunno if that’s an actionable threat. I do have access to a ballot.

Maybe suggest “deporting” him, to any country of his choosing, except the ones on Earth. Peacefully! It’s fine if we specifically “peacefully.” Bastards like him always talk about kindly, gently, legally putting people on a boat and shoving it into the dark and roiling sea.

mindbleach ,

I can’t look at without giggling. Aww, it’s so stupid! Like they fumbled some CAD layers and flew the bounding box.

mindbleach ,

When Rob Fournier brought actual P90s to a meeting, one of the producers thought he was presenting a neat prop.

Especially with a short barrel - they look more like automotive parts than firearms. Only in-context does the design click. No other gun had those ergonomics.

mindbleach ,

Sure, assuming once is enough.

mindbleach ,

It looks like someone was handed a bipod and told to look menacing.

It looks like you insert and rotate it to unlock a secret level.

It looks like a staple gun hot-glued to a tape dispenser.

It looks like a medium-range Dymo labeler.

Now we’ll see if Nvidia drops CUDA immediately, or waits until next quarter.

mindbleach ,

… Gir?

mindbleach ,

They made a VR headset… and put a holographic lightfield display… on the outside.

Real fucking brain trust over at Cupertino.

mindbleach ,

You know how Microsoft solved this problem?

With glass.

mindbleach ,

Google had Glass. Windows Mixed Reality used glass. The material. Like a window.

mindbleach ,

More dots won’t make this tech catch on. I assume some PiMax product still has more dots than this. Closer or wider, I dunno, but those guys charge Apple prices for PC rates.

VR has slumped because the right price point for mere stereo is a lot lower than it has been. Even for subsidized gizmos like Quest HMDs. (And not being glued to Facebook would help.) It needs to be too cheap not to own, or fancy enough to beat Virtual Boy plus color and head-tracking.

mindbleach ,

But C is worse than C++, because what if you have a pointer to a pointer?

mindbleach ,

You don’t say.

mindbleach ,

Because it’s invaders demanding unprotected targets. It’s the dumbest propaganda imaginable. What is it doing in your mouth?

“We want the Stop Russia Invading Shit Alliance to be further away from Russia! To prove we’re serious, Russia will invade countries that aren’t yet part of the alliance.”

mindbleach ,

Yes. Creating co-dependencies and peacetime ties, in hopes of keeping relations normal and peaceful.

mindbleach ,

Oh cool, then neither is aggressor. Since they were both doing business with each other. Because apparently that’s how it works.

mindbleach ,

You can just leave.

mindbleach ,

Belligerently existing near the border, how dare they. Did you see what they were wearing?

mindbleach ,

Functionally illiterate troll does not understand “your argument is self-defeating nonsense” unless it’s spelled out.

And I’m putting a lot of faith in the implication you understand it even now.

mindbleach ,

I’m sorry I misplaced that faith.

I am using your argument… to point out… your argument makes no god-damn sense. I don’t believe your argument. I am highlighting how, if you believed your argument, you’d find it fucks up your conclusion. But you don’t care.

You’re just making mouth noises to justify a conclusion you picked well before any argument-shaped sentences.

mindbleach ,

Word salad.

mindbleach ,

I meant Russia.

Nobody’s keeping them there but them. Blame whatever boogieman you like - it’s their soldiers in someone else’s borders.

mindbleach ,

You don’t know what blame is.

Or who controls Russia’s army, apparently.

mindbleach ,

What you’re doing is blame whether you call it that or not.

There is nothing to negotiate. Russia invaded and can fuck off at any time. It is entirely up to them.

And nobody told Ukraine not to negotiate. Russia asked America. America is saying: ask Ukraine.

mindbleach ,

More countries joined NATO, Russia’s slaughtering a generation of Russians, their money is gone, their equipment is gone, and their big scary mercenary force openly tried to overthrow the government. Wow. What victorious progress.

At this rate NATO’s gonna disband because there won’t be a Russia.

mindbleach ,

Pounding the table doesn’t make nonsense worthwhile.

Russia alone can end this war. The US cannot continue it, if they just leave. Nobody forced them to be there. Nobody is keeping them there. It is their war of aggression, for territory. Negotiating for anything besides “fuck off already” is pointless.

Stop blaming anyone else.

Stop pretending ‘you didn’t do diplomacy about our invasion, so the invasion marches on’ is anything but blame.

mindbleach ,

Again, slapping the table with ‘fact!’ ‘deal with it!’ ‘period!’ sounds childish and adds nothing.

Especially when you’re still blaming America for Russia invading Ukraine.

Like it’s our fault they’re still there. They can leave. We can’t keep them.

And if we did what you’re suggesting, and just let them have Ukraine, they would invade someone else. We know this - because Ukraine’s not the first country they’ve done this to. NATO only exists because they keep fucking doing this. All of their neighbors joined a defensive pact because of it.

But oh no no no no, if we don’t politely talk to them about it, that’s us causing this war to go on. Fuck off.

mindbleach ,

Your excuses work the other way around, fool.

Can’t really help you if your comprehension can’t keep up.

mindbleach ,

‘Where am I doing what happens in the next sentence?’

Shoo.

mindbleach ,

America has not stopped Ukraine negotiating with Russia.

Repeatedly insisting that America is - by any means - deviously prolonging the invasion, is blaming America for the continuing invasion of Ukraine. You flat-out shrugged and treated the continued war as a given, when you blamed America for not negotiating.

Negotiating for fucking what, by the way? There is only one term that matters: leave. It is 100.0% up to Russia to do that.

America baited Russia into a quagmire and sprung a trap on them

… “bUt HoW aM i bLaMiNg AmEriCa fOr ThE iNvAsIon?!”

Get blocked, useless fucking troll.

mindbleach ,

It’s your nonsense.

You said Russia can’t be the aggressor, because Europe did business with them.

If we pretend that’s relevant: it’d mean Europe can’t be the aggressor either, because Russia did business with them. So I guess nobody invaded anybody?

Meanwhile in reality, Russia invaded Ukraine. Which is pretty goddamn aggressive. And exactly what Europe expected could happen. And in fact, part of what doing business with Russia was intended to prevent. Didn’t work. Doesn’t mean Europe was somehow at fault for the country that keeps invading its neighbors, invading its neighbors. A country that does so with such regularity, most of Europe is in the Stop Russia Invading Its Neighbors club (which borders with Russia, how dare they!), and Russia still invades its neighbors who aren’t in the club. Whilst telling them: this is the stop-us-invading-you club’s fault. Which is fucking nonsense.

Anyway your hot take on all this has been shuffling cards in search of relevant excuses, so I think we’re done forever.

mindbleach ,

either that or you know, they werent.

Lie better.

mindbleach ,

… and a gun beside it in case it makes unexpected noises.

mindbleach ,

Stop using this bigot’s picture to smug up a lukewarm take.

mindbleach ,

He’s a right-wing podcaster and meatspace video troll.

His sole piece of merchandise reads “Socialism is for F*gs.” Verbatim.

He claims it says “figs.”

mindbleach ,

Eight fucking years of fascists’ jeering faces every god-damn day is more than enough, thanks very much.
