Hi, I have the political instincts of a newborn tamagotchi and I'm here to tell you that candidates helping people is actually bad. Saying I'm wrong is harassment btw.

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)

I do appreciate how each new Mr Beast thing becomes more dreamlike, as if it’s a profane parable whispered into your subconscious by a demon
In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

yes, buying someone's project on bandcamp will benefit them more than you streaming it casually throughout the remainder of your life can. yes, artist payouts are really that bad. yes, that's why concert ticket and merch prices have ballooned so much these past 15 years

"buying music is expensive but i wanna support artists and spotify is the only option for that" i have a tip for you:
pirate all the music you want. all of it. no matter how much. set aside each month a spotify subscription's worth of money and use that to buy something off of bandcamp or itunes.

It's breeding a kind of idle laziness that infuritates me and is phsycologically tormenting the vulnerable (just like its creators are).
So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other.
Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾

I was aiming for a major upgrade to my main/work computer based on a project, with like 256gb, and now have neither :/
ah well, got through the gpu shortage somehow before (which is also about to happen again), but feels like they just don't want consumers to have computers anymore

It's rare to see the moment in which a spoiled rich kid realizes his success was a largely fabricated endeavor and not a result of his own personal skill, but the 10 second mark here captures it well.

All the prosecution has managed to do is to convince me that he didn't do it, which is funny because I did originally believe that he did it.

YES! this is what techbros who have let their creative selves wither call "procrastination" or "inefficiency" and try to technologise away, not understanding that it is the source of creativity and imagination and everything good
When I sit down to write I'm not consciously pulling from my notes, I'm drawing on the 6 months I spent reading biographies, watching hours of interviews, etc. There is a volume of research, of effort & time that is required to create something meaningful to draw from.

Breakdown of where the money you pay for a game on Steam goes:
- 30% goes to Valve, right off the top.
- The remaining 70% goes to the publisher, and is split with the developer based on their contract. Usually the publisher will want to recoup their investment before paying the devs.

If you didn't know, between Steam's cut, taxes, and company profit splits, I get maybe 25 cents per unit sold of Eldritch at this price. And that's fine, it's a game I made in another lifetime, I'm just happy if anyone is still enjoying it in the year of our Lord 2025. But yeah. Games is hard.
