2026-05-23 18:11:06 +0000 <davean> The amount my life would be better if the ACM hadn't existed in the 90s is immense
2026-05-23 18:10:46 +0000humasect(~humasect@dyn-192-249-132-90.nexicom.net) humasect
2026-05-23 18:10:25 +0000 <[exa]> yeah that was abysmal, "become a university library pls"
2026-05-23 18:10:10 +0000 <davean> They were DEEPLY evil in the 90s
2026-05-23 18:10:01 +0000 <davean> The 90s really
2026-05-23 18:09:47 +0000 <davean> You could actually get the papers 10 years ago and they wouldn't kick out out like they were some sort of occult priesthood you had to do initation rights to talk to
2026-05-23 18:09:43 +0000 <[exa]> as in, compared to 20 years ago?
2026-05-23 18:09:12 +0000nitrix(~nitrix@user/meow/nitrix) nitrix
2026-05-23 18:09:07 +0000 <davean> 10 years ago was SO MUCH BETTER
2026-05-23 18:08:58 +0000 <davean> 10 years ago it was GREAT
2026-05-23 18:08:26 +0000 <[exa]> anyway yeah 10 years ago the paper availability was not great
2026-05-23 18:07:31 +0000 <davean> The ACM did a lot of active damage ot my life
2026-05-23 18:07:26 +0000 <[exa]> like, at least compared to the amount of horsepoop originating from certain unnamed other publishers that I have to interact with, ACM is just great

2026-05-23 18:06:40 +0000 <davean> but maybe I can stop refusing to be involved in anything they touch
2026-05-23 18:06:27 +0000 <davean> And I'll probably never forgive them gatekeeping that knowleg
2026-05-23 18:06:11 +0000 <davean> When I was in elementry school, destitute, and actually trying to learn they were all like "Only profesionals get to learn stuff! Keep everyone out!"
2026-05-23 18:05:41 +0000 <monochrom> Yes you should hate ACM less. :)
2026-05-23 18:05:30 +0000 <davean> [exa]: Not when it would have made a life-changing difference for me they didn't!
