Only if it’s a pot Scooby snack.
Dude looks like shaggy cosplaying serial experiments lain
Oh no, it’s the installation wizard
wróćmy do tajemniczego vana Scooba!
This is how you know tech was good in the 90s.
These overly nerdy and grim looking setups were actually just a good time since the tech was worth their salt.
It’s also funny how there isn’t the same allure to having lots of modern tech the same way the 90s tech had the cyberpunk allure.
Judging by the age of those laptops, it may be a few dial up modems instead. “Local network? Nah, we’ll just have a bank of us robotics 56k modems. “
While the image is “Gottfrid Svartholm, one of the co-founders of The Pirate Bay in his work station”, he sure looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
I can’t really tell why but he also looks extremely Scandinavian to me
He looks like he is about to murder a rival band member and burn some churches
I’m gonna choose to take that as an insult to all Scandinavians
Why? That guy looks awesome!
I mean he’s right but I still feel attacked
I’m sorry
Zoinks!
Afaik it’s not him but some rando.
That is most definitely Gottfrid.
Mind telling me why Gottfrid Svartholm, a Swede, would be reading a Polish physiology book?
The pic has been around forever, that’s not proof by itself.
I have books in languages I don’t or barely understand, some in topics I know fuck all about. Does that disbar me from being the nationality that I am?
Is this an American comment that I’m too European to understand?
Like… wtf, people can’t own books in other languages now?
Who’s to say he doesn’t know Polish? Who’s to say it’s even his and not a family member’s?
This is such an arbitrary and meaningless detail to pick up on in an attempt to disprove the legitimacy of a photograph of a guy who looks very likely to be Gottfrid, that it reeks of anti intellectualism.
You pulled plenty out of your ass there, so indeed I imagine it does reek around you now.
Where have you seen him reading it? Definitely not in that photo.
Oh, so the room that is carefully made to his image as you imagine it, somehow by pure chance includes a thousand-page A4 tome on physiology in Polish? Because Swedish hackers are known for their love for Polish university textbooks as decoration, of course.
How do you know it is his room?
You’re doing an awful lot of speculation to get your point valid.
Your trolling is too fat. Try trolling more subtly.
The title of the photo is:
Gottfrid Svartholm, one of the co-founders of The Pirate Bay in his work station
So it follows that it’s his room?
Cyberpunk Shaggy.
Man, I haven’t seen this image in a decade and I can still spot it.
Spot what? I’m sure I’ve seen this image, but dunno if there’s a deeper meme connected to it
Dildo behind him
Lmao incredible
it
The book or the actual entity?
There’s a sort of white rectangular bag behind him. To the right of it is a large penile object on a string. I suspect this is it.
“Can’t stop the signal, Mal.”
That man is a hero 😔
A while ago my girlfriend ran into Peter Sunde at a conference, and she asked if he was still in contact with Gottfrid these days, and Peter replied “No, he’s a full on nazi now.”
And Peter is a socialist, I think. Makes sense.
FIZJOLOGIA
What is this book doing in this cave?!
It appears to be bracing a shelf. It would probably be holding a window open if there were any.
He’s probably more of a Linux guy than fan of windows
I was thinking Plan 9.
That level is definitely Hurd.
This I know, but how a book with clearly polish title happened to be on this photo?
