Also, was Davis that hateful? Haven't followed him, and what I know from him is mostly anecdotal, but apart from some slurs he mostly did long weird God and CIA unhinged posts, but not active hate edgelord stuff like what I see from this guy.

Take a look at some of his HN accounts (like https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=losethos ) and judge yourself if it's hateful or not. Some would say the hateful language came only because of his disease, others the disease only added to existing behavior. Hard to know from the outside without really knowing him I'd say.

Ah well, not great. I didn't know his HN accounts, I think I mostly read his site for TempleOS and something else (can't remember, it was long time ago so this was mostly a gut feeling).

It's true it feels like it comes from a different place, but yep, not great.

Also worth nothing that this person is an open pedophilia advocate and "race realist" as can be seen on their homepage https://www.tastyfish.cz/ Can't speak for the quality of the software but important to note.

Nazism and pedophilia are controversial???

It's the association. Things vary in value to us depending the brand it portrays. This is why people pay $150 for Nike shoes despite them being made by the same kids in the same sweatshop as the $10 Primark runners.

It's also why initiatives like ReiserFS died after its creator turned out to be a murderer.

As humans we're always looking for things that align with our values and "tribe". Maybe it shouldn't be that way and we should judge each product purely on its merits but for most of us it's just how we are.

Your home can be raided for, say, running a Tor node, and you best believe they'll be looking for anything to charge you with because that's their job. I don't see anything wrong with this one. Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany.

Fun fact: I operated a TOR node for a while (not an exit node). It was in a datacenter and I mostly got yelled at because the IP was flagged as malicious outbound and the reputation of the IP range was degraded. I stopped the node but I still have the IP adress which is still inaccessible to most office workers years after ;-). At no time did I think that I was risking jail time if my computer was seized. I'm lucky e…

Interesting, I thought that only exit nodes carry a reputation risk. I guess there must be some really zealous scrapers who ban middle nodes based on the public list.

The other repos from this person are also worth checking: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish E.g.: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/Anarch

He also likes "trolling" and "Flat Earth"; this all might still be second degree, however distasteful. I mean, "I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived", seriously.

If so, then people reacting so strongly — even negatively — would play into his hands. Hence the old age saying, "thou shall not feed the troll". He might even get one of those "very generous one time donation" thanks to all that attention.

I implore you all to read the coder's website, http://www.tastyfish.cz This is one of the craziest rabbit holes I've been through. That being said, the guy sure can code, but judging by the website and its content, he can't AT ALL function in a normal society. His "wiki" is a cesspool of cognitive dissonance. I don't even think flat earthers or other anti-system people have that much cognitive dissonance going on. In short - this guy is as if someone took the worst opinions from a left-wing person and the worst opinions from a right-wing person. I hope he can get treated for whatever condition he has and live normally. I feel sorry for him.

Looks like that guy got lost a little in his life, I'm asking myself if he can be helped somehow? And if so then how?

On an individual level - no, I don't think so, at least not easily. One can't be helped if they don't want to, or don't see a reason why they would need help. Successful therapy is 99% your own work, a therapist will help you find the door but it's you who must take the step. On social level, we need to call out this sort of viewpoint/behaviour, and make it clear it's beyond unacceptable. Then it's up to the individu…

> One can't be helped if they don't want to, or don't see a reason why they would need help.

It appears to me he does see a reason why he'd need help. Some statements from his site:

> I am quite lonely

> I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me.

> I am impossible to be loved romantically

> I am largely scared of falling in love.

He appears to have significant social and self-esteem issues. He recognizes that.

I assume the lonelyness he has to deal with is the core reason for why he developed such extreme views.

Since he recognizes these issues it appears to be quite realistic for him to learn to normally engage with society again. I think he can be helped.

Now, as to how someone who's cut off from society and doesn't posess basic social skills can learn to socialize again, I don't know. Therapy perhaps, but that's a difficult step to take.
