Someday, I May Be Important Enough To Demand Fair Reply

Posted by [email protected] on Comments comments (0)

…but until that day, Damion Schubert is tanking the Mark Kern aggro, and doing so very adeptly.

First off, let me say, without irony: welcome to the discourse, Mark. You have your own megaphone. No one is shutting you down, no one is shouting you down. I linked to your reply to Damion in the first line of this post. Your position in this foofrah is on the record and public knowledge. This is how it is supposed to work. You say things, other people say things in response, readers enjoy the interplay of ideas, *it’s all good*.

Welcome to blogging, circa 2002.

oh-youre-finished-oh-well-allow-me-to-retort

Let me start by saying, I don’t have a problem with people blocking other people on Twitter, or using a service like a block-bot to do so. If, for some reason, you came to this conclusion I’d like to apologize.

Well, thank you, Mark. In an ideal world, this would have been your entire post. And I’m glad that you recognize that most people do not particularly want to see what weird anime porn 8chan saw that week on their Twitter feed and act accordingly. The best way to solve every problem is to give people the tools and power to solve it themselves. That is the libertarian philosophy, the anarchist perogative. We rule our own roosts, we have our own castles. This is the ideal. I’m glad you recognized this fact. And in a perfect world, this blog post would have stopped… here.

It’s not over.

Another brief factual point, which Mark is correct on:

Also, Damion’s article refers largely to Randi Harper’s gg autoblocker. In my public tweets with Randi, I’ve made it quite clear that I’m not talking about her list, but rather the Atheism + list, called “theblockbot,” which is operated out of the UK and predates the gg Autoblocker. So this part of the article is factually in error and fails to address my concerns with the theblockbot.com.

And regular readers of this blog will note that this is in fact what we discussed. The issues with the UK Atheist blockbot (which are minor, but still problematic) have nothing to do with Randi Harper’s ggautoblocker, who, in case you missed it at any point, I 100% support and recommend. Randi is doing the Lord’s work, and being harassed for her pains, because, well, Internet. Do I need to continue? No.

But, of course, Mark does, because MarkKernMarkKern.

My simple question to the readers of @ZenOfDesign is this: Why is it necessary for these blockbots to label its lists as lists of horrible people who are bigots, harassers, or otherwise “bad people?”

Gosh Mark

I can’t

imagine

why

with such polite discourse being brutally suppressed by bots acting in self defense. (And trust me – it took some doing to find things that weren’t in and of themselves an assault. I died for your sins.)

And that’s really the point here. We’re not talking about an alternative political viewpoint that is being suppressed. We’re talking about a pack of obscene idiots who use the open nature of the Internet as a weapon to attack people they don’t like. And those self-same pack of obscene idiots then complain, with no visible irony whatsoever, because they are being censored because a good many site hosts do not particularly want to host blathering obscenity.

At the end of the day, that is why people install blockbots. Not because they want to live in an echo chamber of people they agree with (or “hugboxes”, in the entirely too illustrative vernacular of Gamergate where hugs are apparently awful things to avoid at all costs), but because they would like to read Twitter with 80% less sewage. That is, for everyone I’ve talked to about this, literally, LITERALLY the only consideration. No one has any problem with the sea-lioning “actually, it’s about X in X” justifications. It’s what comes after. It’s the flood. It’s the sewage. It’s about self-defense.

And the fact that Mark Kern denies that flood of sewage exists is obvious, and incredibly illustrative, and demolishes any credibility he may have as a “neutral commentator” that he pretends to hold.

(But he’s still fun to make fun of. Though I’ll try to only do so in moderation.)

(PPS, and I didn’t notice this but someone else did, so I will just point that out because it made me laugh for about four minutes)

My first exhibit

Posted by [email protected] on Comments comments (0)

At the end of July I participated in first person at my first photographic exhibition, during ItLUG Lecco 2018 organized by Marco Chiappa in collaboration with ItLUG

If you do not have time to read everything, I’ll give you a summary:

one of the most engaging experiences I’ve done.

If you want to know why, I’m afraid you’ll have to read.

THE PREPARATION

Obviously the first thing to think about is which photos to take and my critical side had selected very few.
Fortunately I was guided by the opinions of my family to get a list of 24 photographs.

In addition to photographic exposure, I wanted to bring something to engage the visitors, so it occurred to me that I could bring small photo setups to show people how easy it is to enter the world of legography.

SETUP

I wanted to do two setups in contrast: in one there would have been a beautiful green lawn and in the other an arid desert.
I chose a synthetic grass tile, with a background representing the blue sky, a simple setup that could apply to any type of minifigure.

The second was a saucer that I filled with fine sand and pebbles and a rocky desert in the background, which could be used with star wars, cowboys, aliens and anything that could come to mind to children.

Once finished, I put some sample minifigures, to allow people to take pictures even if they did not have their favorite minifigures with them.

The installation took just over an hour, after which I was ready and excited for the two days that awaited me.

This poor fools doesn’t even know what to expect

THE EXHIBIT

At the opening I was nervous, watching suspiciously the first people coming, trying to enter their mind as they roamed the hall, luring them with my psychic powers.

It was a failure from which I learned I had no psychic power.

The queue of critics of my photographs

The more visitors came, the more my nervousness left room for curiosity and the desire to share how I managed to get the shots.
For this purpose I had some backstage photos printed to show how easy it was sometimes to get decent results.
Their expressions were priceless when I unveiled the setups. They all left with a smile, leaving me with some nice compliment, always good to receive.

Other satisfactions came from the people who passed in front of the panels looking with indifference, only to be hooked up after a few steps.

But the best were the children. The expression of amusement and amazement were truly exceptional.

One of the funniest conversations I’ve had, was with a child about the darth vader photo:

Kid: “How did you make the grapes fly?”
Me:”I took a picture of the balloons leaning against a box and one without balloons. Then I put the photos in the computer and I deleted the box, so it seems that they really fly”
Kid: perplexed expression
Me: “Aren’t you convinced?”
Kid: “No. Is this really fake?”
Me:”Just joking! I inflated them one by one!”
Kid: satisfied expression

The setups has attracted so many children and many adults, intrigued by something so out of the box. 

Here you can see a typical child, Luigi (@priovit70) using the setups

Needless to say that the main attraction was the sand, for the children it was enough to dip their fingers in order to leave with a smile.

My daughter is a professional tester

WHAT I LEARNED

This experience has taught me that there are still people willing to be surprised, that seeing the amazement and fun on the faces of children repays the efforts extensively, that LEGO bricks are, and must remain, an instrument through which to express creativity in different forms.

But above all taught me that it’s nice to share your photos online, but to exchange opinions live is definitely better!

Marco (The APhOL)

Have you ever done a photo exhibition? What feelings did you have? What did you learn? I’m curious!!!
