Stoned and drawing Mathesar. This is about my 10th go, just trying to do him justice.

Never Give Up, Never Surrender.

I do quite enjoy describing Venn diagrams like this as "an off-center Oreo"

I wonder what the overlap is between developers who think there's nothing wrong with C/C++ because "if you're good" you can write memory-safe code at scale, and developers who believe you can make generative code safe and secure with the "right guardrails."

my neighbor is over retirement age, keeps threatening to actually do it, but he's a commercial electrician and still in high demand.

He's down to part time now but there's so much work and too good money to pass up

I've set up a lot of equipment in a lot of places and i've never pulled my own power or plumbed my own AC before. Trades are pretty hard to beat, employability-wise. Claude could replace me, but not my electrical contractor

It's fun to dream about though

Telling a machine that can’t perceive that it can’t perceive won’t make it perceive that it can’t perceive. It can’t make you be the best version of yourself because it doesn’t know what that means, nor does it know what it means to aspire. Just because some are given a human name and users are taught to address it collegially doesn’t make it real. You cannot force a machine to become human. You’re stuck, for better or worse, with your fellow humans for perceiving your aspirations. Perhaps the problem is that you don’t like how humans perceive you.

[object Object] @zzt@mas.to unix systems will have some crap named /bin/stink and the man page is “send jobs to the Stinkwriter” and all the arguments are indecipherable and the only times it’s been touched were in 1993 when gnu cloned it from unix v6 for whatever reason and last week when it grew a CLAUDE.md and .cursor and whoever took over maintenance started flooding it with broken slop features nobody asked for

Honestly open source is under attack from so many angles these days it's hard to keep track of them all

This is just trolling you got paid for. Nice work, I guess

How are we still talking about a Hotchkiss School rich kid cosplaying as working class with a Nazi chest piece that he covered up with a medium white supremacy Norse symbol five minutes ago? How is there anyone who isn't a Nazi still defending this guy?

Man planted a flag and called himself Team Terf. Fuck him

One of the most significant but largely immeasurable consequences of the last decade of fascism in America is that it is a form of civil, moral, and spiritual rot that debases all of us. We are all made that much cruder, insecure, and therefore crueler despite our best aspirations and efforts.

But they were all of them deceived, for another Non Blonde was made.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Liberals will tell you that shaming fascists somehow prevents the authentic dialogue that would make them change. Meanwhile, fascists themselves say that one of the things that most discourages them from carrying on as fascists is feeling the utter contempt and revulsion of everyday people.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.

Just. Tax. Them.

A reminder from me to y'all

Rest is not earned.

Rest is a right.

Rest is punk af.

It's a rebellion against capitalism.

You gotta rest. Your body and soul need it.

Hyperproductivity can get in a bin and be shot into the sun.

Stay punk, fam.

my redesign of the Amazon logo against a plain white background. The curving yellow arrow is rotated to resemble a pee stream that is going into a soda bottle (rendered as a simple black outline), while the "amazon" text is oriented vertically inside the bottle

apropos, I am bringing back my Amazon logo redesign
