That’s what this site is. You’ve been talking to a machine all this time. Do you really think a person would have this much time to argue day in and day out over systemd? That that many people care wherever or not Go has generics and which other languages does them best? That rust somehow is the cure for everything from game engines to the common cold? Think about all the times a “person” stated something was Turing Complete and how it made zero sense to you. It’s been machines all this time.

Yeah, but at some point those machines would have had to have original training data, so at some point people probably did have time to engage in techno religious wars. Unless of course, all of this is made up, to keep us occupied to not discover the matrix or alike ..

Obligatory irrelevant typo correction: it's "Roboter"

Point taken and indeed it is obligatory and relevant. That ‘n’ didn’t sit well with me at all.

Who could argue for hours and praise and upvote someone getting Doom running on all their household appliances?

Ok that’s it then it’s time to run doom on my toaster, rendering onto bread… input will be tough though

Have you considered a touch screen toaster?

That's a really interesting idea. I think it would be fun to see how well it would work in practice.

Rats, top comments will be impossible to beat. I can probably piggy-back off a top comment, though, those comment threads aren't long yet...
