| schestowitz | what people who dont like numbers dont get is that the computer does the number parts for you. i suck at math, though i can tell it to subtract from or add to the horizontal or vertical position. “go up!” (how much?) on a lower level its even more numeric, though most people who write code write higher-level (easier) code than that. in the 50s, maybe not. since the 70s, its a lot easier than that if you want it to be. thank grace | Oct 31 04:22 |

| schestowitz | there is one major difference between devuan and this story, in that at the top of devuan is dyne.org, and i still have a great deal of faith in dyne. i have practically none in devuan-- none. it is very simply not what it claims to be. there are no signs it ever will be. but i still think the people at the top are doing their best-- the thing they started has gotten away from them, and theyre too proud to admit it. devuan needs to end-- | Oct 31 05:43 |

| schestowitz | "The concept of fashion and IP is interesting because fashion houses must necessarily react to what is in fashion, normally whatever the young have started to do when creating their own space, and then develop, package and sell it as needed. It therefore relies on the exchange/stealing/copying of ideas for maximum 'efficiency', which IP seeks to inhibit by placing ownership boundaries on things. The true originoters of fashion will rarely | Oct 31 06:48 |
