the thing about advertising is that it perpetually normalizes people mixing noise into signal.
I'm unsure, but I think the world in which adblockers widely proliferated would have been more sane wrt memetic hygiene. (yes, it also would have less free content. I now wager the trade-off was worth it)

quite the shame a single software package is already a "library"
a package manager should be a library, packages should just be books or bindings

I don't think code editors are the place to talk to LLMs. I'd rather do that in a separate window and just let the LLM generate git patch files.

After a week of using Flutter I found it adequate in bridging dart and native code.
But you must know how to write native code: Flutter plugins are opinionated and will work against you if you don't follow their intended use-case.

There are two types of package managers.
- Those that care about terms of use.
- Those that have no functionality for listing or summarizing terms of use of project dependencies.
I now expect ~all closed-source violates terms of use until proven innocent.

I played diplomacy for the first time and vowed to never lie.
And, this might be the lowest hanging fruit in the history of this game.
I might be motivated reasoning, but it might do real good to our broader culture if the diplomacy fanbase figured that lying is as self-defeating as I think it is.

I'm finding Victoria III more enjoyable than Europa Universalis IV.
The bigger focus on industry and supply chains and less on twitchy military tactics really appeals to me.

I had Gemini make me a scuffed task sorting PWA.
If you use Todoist and Gmail, you can use www.mousetrap.blog/mail-sorter/... to manually binary sort your emails into your task list.
It's client-only so I have no access to any of your data if you do use this.

completely illiterate societies must have had interesting spoken languages.
there's no firm baseline pronunciation to gravitate towards, so speech was so much more diverse, I wager.
