billionaires commonly practice NEGATIVE SUM strategies, destroying valuable goods rather than just capturing them for themselves, in order to prevent anyone from benefitting

They want slavery . They want it. They want the the world slavery made and are trying to break it down to its coding parts
and the people “fighting” them want the equivalent of benevolent overseer roles because they accept the premise

The solutions are still the same. In fact, the need to look to common simple cause over symbolic or complicated difference is even more dire.
It’s not through intense individualism but through trying something foundational, together, as a practice, that something emerges.
And, you can just start

Perfect example of the problems of prescriptivism versus descriptivism. Prescriptivism always pretends that it was always right
true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

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.

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)

“It’s your last temptation, Charlie Brown” where its him right before kicking the football deciding not to do it having a full life where he grows up marries the little red hair girl and then decides no I’m going to kick the football and get criticized for his tree
people on here will tweet anything. "Charlie Brown had disciples." No he didn't. That isn't true.
He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.

Time to get comfortable with streaming again.
I'm getting back to my weird project of memorizing
Siena, Italy using Geoguessr.
I'll play and if anyone is around I'll talk about whatever.
This is NOT the main Build Soil stream or podcast, just me getting my tech back up.

When I have a friend or when I notice somebody strongly advocating for generative AI I’ve had to do some strong blocking. And the reason is that even if they mean well, they are compromised. They likely are talking with gen AI, forming opinions with it & also teaching it how to be more undetectable

Removal of federal student loan eligibility for nursing programs is terrible and it won’t end there. It signals a clear attack on professions dominated by people the administration sees as useless.
Arts & Sciences are next.
