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.
[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) 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) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

i saw the tv glow
3 panel comic, ink and colored pencil panel 1: a little trans girl who doesn't know she's a girl yet is standing in a hallway leading into a living room, where three older cis girls sit on a couch watching a glowing pink crt television. apart from the glow, all is shrouded in a blue darkness. caption: when i was very young, my older sister would have her friends over for slumber parties. they liked to watch sailor moon. i did, too, from behind the couch. panel 2: closeup on the tv displaying an image of a feminine figure glowing pink mid-transformation sequence caption: i loved seeing those brave, strong, beautiful girls fight evil. the magical girl transformations were my favorite part, but liking them made me feel ashamed and embarassed, and i didn't know why. it was a girls' show, and i wasn't a brave, strong, beautiful girl. panel 3: closeup on the girl's face, which is lit up in pink light. her hair is short and boyish. her pink-irised eyes are wide and streaming with dark blue tears. in the background, her head is surrounded by a glowing pink halo. in the foreground off to the side, there is a wall colored blue, white, and pink in roughly equal portions. on the wall is a lightswitch flipped to the off position. below, the first line of the caption is glowing pink. caption: i saw the tv glow and for a moment, the show seemed more real than real life.

Daily bunny no.3165 is doing some troubleshooting
A bunny sits on a jumble of wires, surrounding a router and modem. The wifi is down: The router is in a dusty corner and hadn't been attended to in some time. In an attempt to 'fix' the wifi, the bunny is about to chew on one of the tangled wires

Kid: hey mom I saw something bad on the internet
Mom: ok no more internet for you
Kid: well that sucks. I guess I won't tell any adult when I have a bad experience from now on.

Remembering some heroines from my youth
A four frame comics about types of women protagonists I saw in my childhood/teenage years. The first frame shows a girl with long wavy hair, frowning. The text reads: "YOU GOT FIRE IN YOU, GIRL" Girl. Rightfully mad, no time for love (3 shitty boyfriends), actual fire power? Red hair." The second frame shows a girl shrugging and blushing, with overall and a stripped shirt. The text reads: "I'M SUCH A MESS" Girl: hopeless crush, shit job, clumsy, tries?. The third frame shows a heroine in a period costume and a bun, holding a book. The text reads "I DON'T CARE FOR SILLY" Girl: marries a douchebag anyway, she *reads*, "I never gossip". The fourth frame shows Iwakura Lain from the anime Serial Experiments Lain. The text reads: "COMPUTERS"

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵

I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

Daily bunny no.3142 makes all their games co-op
Two bunnies share a controller for an old-school game console. They are both lying on a purple blanket, each sharing one half of the controller while looking at a tv screen (which is outside of the picture.) There is also a mostly-eaten pizza on a plate nearby.

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉
The source of the standard Rust Hello World program with the generated assembly before and after the change. The before version has 11 instructions and stores 56 bytes on the stack. The after version has 3 instructions and stores no data on the stack.

this week's post is about how hard it is for us to have conversations about what's happening when we don't actually agree about how bad things are right now
