  And Offpunk.

  Maybe a little JS, as a treat?

  It’s fun for hiding little easter eggs.

  Ththat’s different… you take it back!!

  Thoughts in a contiguous sequence??!!? What utter bloat! Why even have a past or future when a pure consciousness need only experience the horizon of an infinite present.

  We’ve gotten to the point where you aren’t considered a real professional unless you start even the smallest projects with maximum technical debt.

  They’re just following the model laid out by the venture capital model, really.

  I guess all that’s left is to form a no-utf club.

  Hmm, you kind of lost me with these metaphors. No offence, I’m just not sure what is supposed to represent what here.

  But if the guy who created the FOSS movement says something gross, then they and everything they stand for should apparently be shunned.

  They might mean that, but they didn’t say it. I don’t think they did mean it. I think they just don’t want people to forget the “problematic” aspects of someone before we go all worship mode on him.

  It’s like how my partner will interject–he’s canadian!–if I mention some actor. Like she just doesn’t want me to forget that context, but other than that, I can carry on.

  Maybe they did mean that, though and I’m missing some context from somewhere else in this thread.

  Well it’s very evocative, you should be proud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have like a blog or something? Good bit of writing, this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Randomly reminds me of some of the freakier social scifi to come out of Asimov’s typewriter. I remember one Robot story where the audience insert protagonist goes to an outer world colony where the incest taboo is not only missing, but it’s considered a faux pas to avoid sex with your family. One of the characters is in deep consternation because he doesn’t want to have sex with his daughter. Anyway, the protagonist and audience are naturally disgusted, but clearly it stuck in my head.

  Academically… I don’t know. Because of my upbringing, I just can’t see it is as anything other than a severe moral crime. But I guess I could imagine a very very different world from our own where it wouldn’t be the weirdest fucking thing imaginable to even talk about it.

  But that’s me bending over backwards to get inside the head of someone I think I like, like our buddy Stallman here.

  Why are dream bathrooms so ffucked up, like seriously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a good couple of years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We should make our own RIF

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a good couple of years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to love that app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a good couple of years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You decided on a new home yet? What’s your selection criteria.

  I’d be tempted to make a single user instance, given how there’s an ansible playbook you can just run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if they’re utilities, we shouldn’t let a board decide what should rightfully be in the hands of taxpayers. Really they should welcome a stable (OK maybe not so stable in the US atm, but generally…) owner as the government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ghost 6.0 releases next month with ActivityPub support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a really popular alternative to substack, for one. That’s mostly how I know about it — many writers of conscience migrated over when ss went rotten.

  Not a solution, but this is a great reminder to add descriptions/alt text to your images.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slrpnk.net outage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Might it also be possible/feasible to send an “email blast” to everyone with a slrpnk.net account? It would probably be quite complicated to send that many emails at once without getting blocked by the major email providers, but hypothetically we’ve all registered with emails…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slrpnk.net outage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had the opposite–personal trip and work server problems.
