saw an artist knock out that frieren angle meme like it was nothing bc they were so used to drawing it in nsfw fanart, proving that once again, obsessively drawing nsfw of your favorite ships will make you improve leaps and bounds as an artist 😂

I wish we, like, regulated shit nowadays. Between car bloat, blinding headlines, and neighbourhoods packed with rental suites but no on-property parking, driving is an absolute nightmare now.

Software utilities, I think, must be treated the same way: regulated (including price) and operated under oversight. Otherwise, they're just a robber-baron monopoly with a stranglehold on the economy.

When half the internet doesn't work because of a failure of a single vendor, that vendor is a utility, in the same way that power, water, and, back in the day, the phone companies, are/were utilities.

The latest Cloudflare and Amazon outages have got me thinking about utilities. We can't build modern software without dependencies. The days of running entirely on the client are over, which I see as a good thing. The cost is that we rely on infrastructure.

people need to get used to the idea that a lot of transactional and short term cooperation can happen with people you don’t have long term trust obligations to. that is how the economy works
