What if there was an OS built around a scripting language.
The main OS would be an interpreter for this scripting language along with librarys for low level access(like HD and the display) all written in asm so it wouldn't be slowasfuck. Then the OS runs a script which would be what the user sees, calling the librarys for display, mouse, keyboard, etc.
What's the advantage of this? You would be able to modify the OS completely to your liking at runtime. No compiling, no rebooting, just right then and there.

I think there are exactly to kinds of meaningful ways to conversate on the Internet: true anonymity and forcing everyone to use their IRL identity. Using `screen names' or nicks combines the worst of the two worlds: your online persona is not really you, so you can act like an asshole without any responsibility, but you still have kind of an identity to tie your ego to.

What limits you have when you don't have a fixed name which gains its reputation from its posts?
Its seems very little, as /b/ illustrates.

You're still here, so that proves that fixed names don't deter shitposters either.

If you can use filters on "FrozenVoid" it doesn't mean it filters all my posts.
There is no "Algorithm", "Mind-Filter" or "moderation" which removes singular person from the forum.

I believe your >>96 friends thought that making me anonymous would be somehow 'painful' to me.
It was like...a week ago. They also miserably failed with this "prediction".

I show you the other side of the problem, which you briefly touch in your post.
I don't reply to you personally, but to your idea that "Anonymous" is 'one true way' of posting.

Stop ignoring the facts.
1. You claim fixed names deter shitposters.
2. You are still here, name or not.
3. Ergo, your wrong.

I'm not a "Shit-poster", But some of your friends post easily fit the description.
Did people who post in the LISP thread get banned?
Did you get banned?
Take a hint.

(obviously forcing everyone to use IRL names is bad idea)

Your definition of `obvious' differs from mine. I think that forcing people (usually by convention) to use IRL names in online discussions is a good idea, and has worked great for several decades.
