Fuck unity. You don't get to pull all this shit for a *decade* and then just say "we should all work together". Hell naw. Get outta here with that abusive-ass shit.
Make amends, do better, show real change and progress.
Then...

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.
And now we have this.

Yeah, Kennedy was fuckin wrong
Absolutely ask what your country can do for you. The whole god damn point of a country is to provide security and stability for its citizens.

Ok pretty sure it wasn't AyncLocalStorage, but rather a failure-to-free scenario when using `fetch` against `https:` URLs when running in containers... the *exact* setup we use 😅

Regardless of party, the goal isn't to govern. It's not to help the American people.
It's to win elections.
Dems won the recent election, now there's no incentive to hold out.
Again: politicians have lost their fear of the people.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Never stepping foot in a Target again. Best Buy pulled something like this too, and it's why I don't go there anymore either.
I don't want every fucking employee getting all up in my space and talking to me when I don't wanna be bothered.
Knock that shit off.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Copyright Law, Trademarks, and Intellectual Property protections are all anti free market.
I'm not saying they're bad, but they go against the idea of purely unregulated free market.
And to be clear I *am* saying an unregulated free market is bad.

The Milky Way is probably full of dead civilizations
If there are other intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way, they are probably much closer than we are to the galactic center, and fairly young.

Apple Silicon is really changing the game here, holy shit. An M5 Mini is gonna be *insanely* hard to beat from a price/perf ratio. Probably impossible.

LLMs are now widely used in social science as stand-ins for humans—assuming they can produce realistic, human-like text
But... can they? We don’t actually know.
In our new study, we develop a Computational Turing Test.
And our findings are striking:
LLMs may be far less human-like than we think.🧵

Tesla shareholders are absolute fucking idiots.

No accomplishment by any individual justifies receiving the same compensation as 3M people working full-time.”
