Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

If you had told me a year ago—even a few weeks ago—that Trump would be praising Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office and MTG would be leaving Congress because of Trump, I would have asked you to pass the ayahuasca.

Trump: "I would feel very, very comfortable being in New York. And I think much more so after the meeting."

All those midterm Republican attack ads with Trump calling NYC a hellhole about to be taken over by a radical communist lunatic are now on the cutting room floor 🤣

@raskin.house.gov on whistleblower revelations that Ghislaine Maxwell has been receiving "concierge-style" treatment after her transfer to a minimum security prison camp

Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell plans to seek commutation from Trump, whistleblower says The whistleblower came forward with the information to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.

Why is the Trump Administration giving Maxwell "'concierge-style' treatment at the minimum security prison camp ... including customized meals, permission to go to the exercise area after hours, and time to play with a puppy ... among other things"? This is abhorrent and an insult to the survivors.

archive.today/cScTO The exemption carve-outs since the original article have continued and increased. The Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative’s office can grant tariff exemptions themselves now after the September order to also align with any new trade pacts (China, Japan, etc.)

More of this everywhere please. More line dancing, more Whitney Houston, more cosplay and animal costumes as we mock their characterizations of American cities as war zones on fire

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl
