and i don't even know how you got that out of what i posted, i said nothing about not liking it because it's popular. i love tons of popular dumb poo poo, but i have literally never seen a single picture or read a single word about homestuck that didn't look absolutely loving terrible so unless you disagree with that i have no idea what you're so cranky about

how did you get "not liking it because it's popular" out of what I posted? I'm saying you're an idiot nerd on a comedy computermans forum full of idiot nerds and pretending you have never heard of a homestuck makes you sound dumb as gently caress. especially when you go on to talk about all the bits and pieces of it you've seen and can make quality judgements about. for the third time I am not defending homestuck I'm saying I don't believe there's any way in the past 10 years homestuck has been running you've never googled it and saw it was a webcomic and if you truly haven't maybe it says more about you than about me

because luke kenneth casson leighton, the guy who's been pushing various incarnations of eoma-68 for years, literally suffers from brain problems. some of them cause him to fervently believe that tablet/laptop computers built to accept his pcmcia arm cards are a thing the whole world will love (and are also the solution to e-waste, repair, obsolescence, etc etc)

i've been following this trainwreck since it first started getting hyped on slashdot ages ago and it just keeps failing harder. lkcl suffers from heavy doses of narcissism and paranoia, so he's super convinced his pet idea is a work of genius and whenever something bad happens it's a nefarious plot against him.

i'm really not kidding about legit mental issues. as tempting as it is to point and laugh, if you really search on this guy you will find out that he got his start in public breakdowns on the samba project. there are mailing list archives out there with examples of him literally and seriously citing cia operations as the reason he got booted from samba, because his plan to clone and generalize windows style rpc in an open sores project was too dangerous to capitalism/microsoft so the man had to shut him down

(the truth, so far as i could tell from the same list archives, is that he was incredibly egotistical, couldn't code worth a drat, kept checking in broken poo poo, and did not take the resulting criticism well at all)

eoma-68 is his attempt to rise to the superstardom he was denied in his samba days. this time he owns the project so nobody can boot him out, but at the same time he's never going to cooperate long term with anyone who can show him up by being competent at anything

here's someone who tried to partner with him to build computers that would accept eoma-68 cards, it didn't end well: http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/pipermail/arm-netbook/2014-June/009873.html

This is amazing and I want to know more.

there's certain people who legit benefit from having something to do with their hands when they need to think. my grades went up after I started knitting during class in college.

right now I have a 50 pack of colored pencils and one of those coloring books for grownups and a plastic tub of thumbtacks and a wrist rest that I stab with the thumbtacks and various sizes of binder clips to clip and unclip onto random other objects on my desk, my co-workers must think I'm like literally 6

when i was in school one of the other students was the son of some wealthy car dealer and when it came time for his thesis project, he built a solidworks model of the whole thing, sent the plans to a fabricator to have the pieces cut, took those parts to a welder to have them professionally assembled, and dropped it off at the powder-coater and went skiing for a week, while the rest of us were in the shops 18 hours a day. i think he spent like $4000 on it while most people's models probably cost a tenth of that, and the fit and finish was amazing. (the design itself was still just mediocre, ofc).
did he pass?
