The thing about that kind of writing is that the thing is a uniquely characterizable thing that is distinguishable from other things that are not the thing, thereby enabling the realization of the thing to be a thing, rather than not a thing.


Today I learned that I know what the thing is, not because I know what the thing is, but because I was informed that I know what the thing is, and that to know what the thing is merely requires to be informed that I know by any person willing to allege such possession of knowledge, thereby eliminating any effort on my part to know the thing and appropriating such effort imposed on other persons whom are able and willing to indicate to me that I know the thing.


Does `usbhid-dump` show anything when pressing the buttons?


It appears a little buggy handling fixed width improperly, noticeably when using a mouse to write out a word, with uneven drawing, the fixed width spacing does not consistently properly match the cursor movement for some lines.


Could you please share the brush that you used?

Some characters squize/expand line because of the font. E.g. emojis.

Thank you giving it a try and for the feedback!


You can actually see this bug with the default brush (Firefox 143.0.4 Windows)

yep, I was surprised nobody mentioned Bram Cohen's name yet. It was the first thing I thought of. Also see https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/BitTorrent_Live


I was sharing this story and responding to various comments (here) in my conversations elsewhere on the Internet, and as part of my statements I questioned about quoting/paraphrasing the "word gets around" to determine if this is best way to reference the point, and thought I may as well share it here too. https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_c0378709-b716-48af-8996-a0e4...


Thanks, interesting point and it hadn’t occurred to me that it would read like a direct quote.

I can’t edit it now, so will leave this here to say that it’s not a direct quote.

I agree! I am a nobody and forever will be a proud nobody!
