@cmdrmoto Well in the context of the show and who said it, exactly the same as IRL.
Joe McMillan is an utter gremlin.
The thing can be different things, it's why I also tend to be very clear that you can't separate your politics from the tech you build.
Origins matter. Our Organisations are Libertarian. So what's your thing?
@onepict i am absolutely fascinated by how lee pace portrays such compelling morally ambiguous characters.
that kind of charisma is a hell of a thing, good or evil notwithstanding
@cmdrmoto He's so good. Even though In the later series, they mess with Joe's characterisation Lee Pace sells it.
It's rare to have someone with such a melodic voice, such a tall commanding figure. He's good at playing wounded men.
I also appreciate an actor that can chew scenery.
We respect the Pace in my house.
@cmdrmoto But in terms of something better.
I like the idea of CASA, Computing as a Social Activity.
@onepict most unfortunate that the most consequential thing they got us to was technofascism
