@thelastpsion @chainq yes, I know it is up to the community to an extent, but that's no excuse to not have a tutorial for your own language... The community as a whole should be more involved in promoting the language, since otherwise we'll suffer the same fate as many other languages. Even Fortran managed to revive and have a modern website, so that's what I am setting up.

@thelastpsion @chainq I know the PHP docs, I absolutely love them. I should look into how they do their git stuff, now that you mention it, since that would be really useful in my case.I like AsciiDoc too, and thanks to you mentioning that I just discovered Hugo can read .adoc files too (and .org, for that matter, which is really convenient). I wouldn't mind converting to .md, but using adoc directly would be nice.

@thelastpsion @chainq I also recommend that tutorial, although it would be great if I didn't have to go to a game engine to learn about the language. It is a nicely made tutorial, Michalis put a lot of thought into it (this intro used to be separate). There is a notable lack of an updated tutorial for beginners (this assumes you already know a programming language and it states it upfront).

@thelastpsion @chainq as a member of the community, yes, outreach is minimal, sadly. few people even consider Pascal (mostly because they learn it at school), and they either hear it's dead, it's old or they get to interact with the documentation and they give up. A fresh coat of paint can do wonders, see https://fortran-lang.org/ and even the PHP docs. Even Forth got the memo somewhat: https://forth-standard.org/

@Radical_EgoCom are you sure you don't also have a fellow anarchist with a rifle in the picture?

@Radical_EgoCom I was making sure, because some people (tankies, notably) don't have the same opinion and I forgot where you stand on the left wing spectrum

@Radical_EgoCom I don't believe in a transitional state because that would imply the leaders are willing to give up power (no, they won't). How are we persuading them into giving up power, after we've gone full throttle with centralizing it and making sure everything's as bureaucratic as possible? The power dilemma has to be solved in the incipient phase of the revolution, not after some corrupt leaders (that's what hierarchies ultimately create, one way or another) are in power.

@Radical_EgoCom as an anarchist, I will never accept left unity, because of several reasons. A big one of them is the historical precedent of authoritarian leftists hurting (to put it lightly) us (just read about Makhno). Even if I am somehow naïve enough to believe a Stalinist won't hurt me and there is value in uniting with them, our goals can't be reconciled or smashed together in any way once you take more than a cursory glance.1/

@Radical_EgoCom Marxists in general don't oppose all hierarchy, because they believe that the state is the engine of class oppression, so no classes = no state. An anarchist sees the state as the government, that hierarchy which issues laws and commands other smaller hierarchies, so the "head" of society. I and all other anarchists are fundamentally disagreeing with this hierarchy, which means we oppose government of any kind, including the one all Marxists want.2/4

@Radical_EgoCom We have different methods not because we disagree on the goal, which is what people advocating for left unity focus on, but precisely because we have different and fundamentally incompatible views of what the state is and what it entails. If Marxists wanted to abolish all hierarchy (the goal is to reach communism, right?), then it would be nonsensical, since they'll have to abolish their electoralism, the hierarchical parties etc., which they'll never do.3/4

@Radical_EgoCom You can't eliminate hierarchy with hierarchy. Marxists only want to move from a bourgeoisie-lead hierarchy to a Marxist-lead hierarchy, nothing has changed fundamentally. Thus, anarchists and Marxists have fundamentally incompatible goals, because the achievement of our goals leads us to oppose them and viceversa. Allying with them is like allying with capitalists or fascists, it is completely counterproductive and ridiculous. 4/4

@Radical_EgoCom @nlupo murder is illegal, but certainly not irrelevant, something being irrelevant and/or obsolete is orthogonal (or parallel, rather) to its legality

@Radical_EgoCom @nlupo how exactly are you planning to make an economic system illegal, exactly? are we doing thought police? literal 1984, as the chuds like to say?

@Radical_EgoCom @nlupo but if you're doing a revolution (hypothetically speaking), then wouldn't you win by the fact you're now in government (ideally there wouldn't be one, but I'll entertain that idea)? I still don't get why you should make it "illegal" to be a capitalist, strictly speaking. in a communist system, it's obviously more advantageous to be a communist, you're implicitly ostracized from being a capitalist. so to speak, it loses in the marketplace of ideas (vaguely speaking).

@Radical_EgoCom @nlupo that's phasing out capitalism and making it, err, "irrelevant and obsolete", not making it illegal. at most, you're heavily discouraging being a capitalist (which would happen without those policies as well because of the ideology around them), but you can't put a ban on ideology (unless you want to kill all capitalists, in which case... yeah, good luck).

@Radical_EgoCom @nlupo which would be a sign of a weak state/community, it should be ready to defend itself. what if the revolution was carried by anarchists instead in a Stalinist state? you can use that argument to suppress anything that's not the state ideology (which is what pretty much all authoritarian states have done, historically).

@Radical_EgoCom @nlupo who would stop you from considering revisionists (and anarchists) as reactionaries? are we stooping down to the "removing the undesirables" level?

@aral considering people have done machine learning and computer vision on the Pi for a long time (that's why it has a camera slot in the first place), it isn't surprising that someone made an AI hat.But Hailo... that can go fuck itself. :blobfoxangry:

@domi @izaya that *feels* like it should be possible, it would be better for the ISP anyway
