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.

to me
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)

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Sitting in a restaurant at table #16 and I instantly think “Charles Leclerc”. There’s Alonso (14) and Stroll (18) 2 tables down on either side. And Albon (23) is not too far.

My decade-long quest for a pocket-sized high quality camera has gone through offerings from Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm to finally end at Ricoh. The GR iii is it.

Life’s first: I had a cybersecurity nightmare. A literal nightmare. I.e. the one in which you have a bad dream while asleep.

So… I downloaded ghostty. It’s spartan. It’s fast. It doesn’t seem to be able to scroll through command history correctly. I get out of order / missing commands in the scroll back (up key on the prompt).
