Significant evidence suggests that anti-Tesla protests that encourage physical violence are being driven by bad actors aiming to accelerate violence and martial law. The public should engage in economic boycott and anti-Tesla information operations, but AVOID physical engagement.

Again, this appears to be a setup. Media covering this are welcome to reach out for a briefing at davetroy.69 on Signal. Thanks.

@davetroy @ahermitforhire There may well be bad actors and false flags, but wringing your hands about “violence” is quisling behavior. The real, pervasive, and escalating violence that Musk et al are inflicting on society -on *you*- vastly exceeds any small scale property damages. To torch a Tesla is self defense. The line about “it’s going to accelerate martial law” is actual bad-actor behavior, doing the police state’s work for them.

@Moss @davetroy @ahermitforhire personally i prefer marksmanship over mob power but hey that's style

Started shooting as a kid about ‘58. 20,000 rounds later, hearing aids. I decided that memories were better than dreams in ‘96. Took PS2 games into real life, Grand Turismo led to racing driving schools in ‘99 & kart track mgr. KillZone3 led to competition shooting in ‘11 & a range officer. Novice level participation in many activities increases my understanding. Currently learning guitar.

@stevewfolds @Moss @davetroy @ahermitforhire when i was 8 years old i got a computer and was happy for the first time. i extended my computering, which quickly expanded to more computering, followed by even more computering, and now, 36 years later, everything's computer

My first computer exposure was TTYs in the math department’s basement running Basic in ‘67. Hobby kit radios & amplifier electronics set me up for a desktop kit in ‘80 age 32. Last job was on computers in the basement of another math department in ‘03.

@stevewfolds it's been a while then! been playing with an Amiga 500 first; then a 286, with GW-BASIC on it. then came Doom (modding), for which i got a 386. My household had an Atari ST with Cubase on it and a Korg M1 that i noodled with. then came Quake (modding), for which i got a 486. I started tracking music on PC. then found the demoscene. got a Pentium. learned Pascal, C/C++, Python; in '03 first job as a coder. '13 my wife and I started our own indie game project and it's still going

@stevewfolds now i'm building compilers. i'm wading knee deep through turing tarpits.

Worked part time ‘91-‘13 typesetting mathematics papers at UofU. Shoulder surfed the director of Scientific Computing who would reformat vast bibliographic data files with a few lines of awk & sed. I fixed his bookshelves w/carpentry skills & had lunch w/him a few times.

@stevewfolds@mastodon.world @lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place I learned sed/awk/yacc in college in the compiler design course sequence that was the lead-in to the operating systems design sequence.
