@IrreleventIdiot i got inspired by the plane that actually caught the virus

@Alice "putting pink candy in your mouth" while watchin 4k pr0n... sounds a bit zweideutig 🤣
-
@AlexDeLarge @Alice I'm giggling here like a crazy person at a train station 😅

@linuxxx Mother of God one can install ardour through the default repo's 😐😵
-
@Alice @AlexDeLarge @linuxxx we should make that movie. What i had in mind was a mixture of this plot, the comedy of the movie "airplane!" ("Die unglaublich verrückte reise in einem unglaublich verrückten flugzeug" for germans) and all the funny yet infuriating things that are wrong with the it industry today.
Another idea i had was an app pitch via videochat where every passenger chants "blockchain" until they are promised $500.000. Sadly the connection gets interrupted by me doing an npm install.
Also alice could have an "pink aura", like blackwhite castle (der wixxer) but in pink.
So many ideas, and one team:
Alice: ms. pink
AlexDeLarge: mr. 1.60m
Linux: <dependency resolution error while trying to compile his info>
Linu-xxx: mr. 18+
Me: mr PIlothole (or the guy in the background doing stupid things) -
@YouAreAPIRate Sounds like a good plan!
Linu-xxx 🤣 -
@AlexDeLarge i didn't find a good nickname for you, so i just said "hey, he has 'large' in his name, wouldn't it be funny to make him small?"
Feel free to add a nickname for you for this mindblowing, mind-crushing, mind-numbing movie idea. -
@AlexDeLarge @Alice Now I feel tiny with my 178CM 😥
-
@AlexDeLarge how about "hugh rant"? It's a mixture of a celebrity name and your ability to rant.

Ok, who the hell came up with the trope that planes just fall out of the sky when the fuel runs out?
That's just fucking stupid.
They'll lose the engines, but they'll still keep gliding for quite a while. If they're not flying way too low, they can attempt an emergency landing at a nearby airport (or empty field, if there is no better option) with relative ease. -
@endor 100%
-
@Alice @AlexDeLarge thank you for the joy. 😂
-
@endor but he said at the begining that plane refuses manual control
-
@neriald which makes no sense, since planes are engineered so that they have a backup direct mechanical control system - which is there to give the pilots control precisely in the extreme event that the electronic system goes down/is fubar
Movie idea: a plane in mid air catches the wannacrypt virus and refuses manual control. The plane flies straight forward but they only have 2h until they're out of fuel and crash. The only way to pay the ransom is to get enough bitcoins but a recent price-fluctuation made the amount of bitcoins to pay way too high. The only way to resolve this is to create a tumoil on social media causing the bitcoin price to go down.
Visit your local cinema this summer to see 200 passengers and a group of devrant-guest-starrings use nothing but their brains, geniuety and arsenal of devices. Will they find the guy that blocks the wifi by watching 4k porn? Will alice and alexdelarge have to resort to building a fuel-powered mining-rig? Or will linux and linuxxx compile an open-source cockpit program before they run out of time? If so, will they even be able to decide on a linux distro to install on the cockpit?
