I find it amazingly stupid that y'all spent a month of arguing at great length about this recently and yet here it is again. Is it a hackerspace or a hippie crashpad, people?

In all seriousness, this is so much horseshit. Seriously, if you could
get this kind of compression ratio on actual data you'd be a
gazillionaire.

You are in essence saying here "although I'm not too busy hacking to
be irritated by people who will not comport with my idea of the rules,
I am too busy to show empathy or concern for a fellow human being, and
so will instead hide behind those rules in order to criticize these
People Doing Things I Dislike. Furthermore, I will dismiss out of hand
a concern that some have brought up as relevant without first showing
that it is irrelevant or at least ignorable in the broader scheme of
things."

Theres a few more embedded assumptions and values there, but I dont
have time to type them all up, frankly. I'm hacking my food at the
moment.

Cheers!
