Narendra Modi.

What do I win?

@roka Give up the booze. Or have more.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus

Pretty much agreed. Book burning has little history of success.

@augustus

They certainly did a lot of censorship, as well as destruction of media and deletion of information where they could. So, not that different from many hard leftists - barring the choice of kindling.

@augustus As I observed elsewhere: the difference between the hard left and hard right in terms of information, historically, has mostly been their choice of books to burn.

It's been the classical liberals and their followers that said that book burning was stupid.

@augustus I suspect that their concern is that bad speech will spread bad thoughts, and that ... their counterarguments aren't strong enough?

I dunno. It's like they simultaneously believe and disbelieve their own line.

@augustus What they're really doing is displaying their own opinions. They might be serious, but only incidentally.

@augustus

It's not that hard. But nobody gives enough of a damn.

I worked out the key elements ages ago, and offered them publically. Uptake? None.

@augustus In theory, automation.

In practice, conspicuous geekery.

@moonman Considering everything else about Windows, that's a pretty damning assessment of the licensing aspect.

@Verus Hey, been a while. Here's a development to amuse you: Some lackwits figured that because I reckon the first amendment kind of applies to everyone, that I'm obviously a fascist.

And they're blocking me, because I made them sad or something.

Retoot:
RFC Classification of tolerance:

Complete tolerance/Voltairean: You may be a bigot, but you can do your thing and I'll do mine.

Intransitive intolerance/Popperian: I do not tolerate bigotry, but I will tolerate voltaireans.

Intransitive intolerance/Bubbler: I do not tolerate bigotry, nor voltaireans, but I will tolerate popperians.

Transitive intolerance/Purist: I do not tolerate bigotry, nor voltaireans, nor popperians. Bubblers are on notice.
Let comments flow.

@augustus That does sound like pro wrestling style rhetoric.

@monerica It popped back up again because the government reached a settlement with the ghostgunner guys. In reality, the government lawyers saw the writing on the wall and knew that they would lose, and lose badly.

Now lots of people are running around talking about how there should be a law - and determinedly ignoring the first amendment problems with banning talking about guns and providing gun plans.

@hardbass2k8 If I wanted a makeshift gun, I'd make it a single-shot shotgun. Shotshells are easy to reload, and low pressure. Buckshot is highly effective at reasonably near ranges, and rifling is unimportant.

@unascribed Just call it what it is: timesharing on clusters of commodity hardware pretending to be mainframes.

@moonman I quite agree with that one.

@6gain

It's akin to classism.

@ink_slinger Ham stations are quickly and easily located and identified. Doing things that annoy bureaucrats from them is less safe.
