after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

I worry sometimes about not writing enough, that I waste too much time. Then I think about the lines “The limits of art cannot be delivered. There is no artist whose talent is fulfilled.”
