When I did some work with a police agency, it was explained to me that there’s a pattern of escalation with people

You have been mildly brainwashed.

It would be best if that episode lead you to study a bit of psychology but instead you chose to believe.

Like any belief it's a combo of control and dopamine. The feeling of belonging to a group and being righteous within that group hits so hard that it takes hard explicit effort to screen your perception of its effects.

You are a victim because you failed to accept reality.

By my own admission I wrote ~100K loc in zig-head. Having a background in linux kernel development of all things I can tell you that Zig is so much better than C or Rust, that I think linux kernel rush to rust is misguided.

This is so for A500, but the definitive Amiga is A1200 with 68EC020, AGA and only limited by 24 bit address bus (=16 MB ram). From that on people just installed 030 with MMU and later PPCs if they wanted.

Cut by multiple bend, strip by teeth, curl enough to catch, insert, pull, twist.

Do you feel you need a write-up on how to piss in the woods too?

C7 is great advice.

But also pack a short length of cat5 twisted pair just in case. When all else fails, it allows to rig up most anything.

There isn't an exact quote from Douglas Adams, you have to read it all, but he put the point marvelously: reality is scary, unlimited and lovecraftesque, and we have filters to avoid that. Only when you master those filters you can consider yourself conscious.

As hard as ever. US and USSR and EU has this tech, China, India and others still don't. When USSR tech was sold left and right in 1990s, China could not replicate it, although they surely got the documentation back then. Even now they can't build a reliable gas generator from 70s and are stuck at 1960s level with R-25 MiG-21-style engine replicas. They still try and fail to build AL-31 analogs (1978, Su-27 engine).

Many people here to explain that they were holding it wrong. Meanwhile mindshare expands, tokens are sold and no one mentions that the only way to hold it 'right' is to not hold it at all.

I do not believe in being non-antagonistic in pursuit of truth. They could have admitted they never had any control over what's uploaded. Instead even when "antagonistically asked a question" they chose to not answer it. This is an answer in itself and to our great sadness extracting that required some amount of "antagonism".
