and yea...

a brief summary of the discussion points because I can't help myself, 1/?

I can't stop thinking about that time we sat across from two gym dudes on the train who we witnessed, for the entire hour+ duration of the trip, intensely discussing whether to get a fanny pack in "Black" or "Eukalyptus" and what the fashion implications of it were and whether it would help him get noticed by girls in a depth that I could not adequately convey within any character limit

@haskal I think both types of opensource projects should exist.

If I just write some neat one-off script to do a thing, I don't think I should have to support it beyond what I need from it. I'll just open source it to give others who want similar things an easier starting point.

If I build an app or a library that I actually want other people to use, it is my responsibility to make sure it's as accessible as it can be

on bad necrocomputing takes 

Sometimes I see takes like "computers used to be able to do the same job using way less resources, software is shit nowadays"

And I can only wonder whether they've ever developed software back when real-time compositing was unaffordably expensive, and so was proper process isolation, and a million other 'modern conveniences' that make software, y'know, not suck

Another week, another hip "twice as fast as React" library where the fine print is that it doesn't handle edgecases

Remote Coke Execution (RCE)

This week really needs another reminder that ‘respect for the dead’ is demanded by the oppressor, but not given in return. To not speak ill is another form of ‘being nice’, of decorum imposed by a white supremacist society.

Celebrating the death of evil men is a form of punching up, a final form of accountability that they eluded in life, and a speaking out against which their privileged position can no longer protect them.

Rejoice in their passing. The blood on their hands demands it.
