Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

@baldur (I've had the displeasure of interacting with a bunch of SEO types in the past and I can't say that it was an enjoyable experience)

electric cars are basically the 'we can just recycle the plastic!' solution to urban transportation
it doesn't remotely confront the problem
@baldur I imagine that that is precisely *why* those things were kept secret...

Ik snap niet hoevaak we nog tegen voorbeelden van "de zorg is geen markt" aan kunnen lopen voor dat het een keer doordringt?
Medicijntekorten raakt mensen meteen, zoals ikzelf letterlijk vorige maand nog heb meegemaakt.
Hot take: if a company builds a product to be dependent on a service they run, then they should be on the hook for running that service for as long as people want to use the product, actually, even when it gets really old and expensive.
If you don't want to be stuck running an old service, then don't make your products dependent on it. If you choose to do so anyway, then that is *your* business risk, don't make it the problem of your customers.
I don't expect that this rewrite is going to be accepted as a PR upstream, given how significant the changes are, but in the worst case I just publish it as a fork :)
Despite the complete internal rewrite, and the move to async iterators instead of streams and promises instead of callbacks, it actually doesn't break any of the existing API; it's fully backwards compatible (and still passes all the original tests aside from some internals tests).
The new features probably won't all be supported with the old API, but internals improvements will.
Project status: nearly done with my LevelGraph refactoring, now I have a version that uses async iterators and promises and that should be much easier to extend with support for statement-level annotations and other neat features (without breaking stuff)
@sofia I feel like a big part of "playing roughly evenly matched opponents" is that it yields unpredictable outcomes; the game can easily take unexpected turns, and result in a different outcome than you thought. Whereas with uneven matching you already pretty much know the outcome before you start playing.

Weirdos who had unrestricted access online growing up in the 1990s/2000s: "The children need to have their internet snooped and logged! Evil pedos on every corner! Shock sites! It's an outrage!"
Me when my parents watched my every move online: "If I look one thing up they don't approve of they'll lock me out of my only way of talking to social peers in this rural area. I'm not even allowed to have a screensaver with a password. A flash drive they didn't know about was near treason."
Me whenever I didn't have that spy shit: "Oh wow, this explains a lot to challenge what I was told by them. This explains the concepts of sex better than the books. This tells me the history of the world my family didn't know or didn't want me to know. No wonder they only wanted approved media, it fed me lies they wanted to use."
Also me: ha ha funny pony show they didn't like :3
I deeply cannot express enough that if your family (or any hierarchy for that matter) wants to lock down what you can see, say, or do, disobey them.
You *might* fuck up, but it's better to be free and learn mistakes than repressed or held back and socially outcast from your peers.
Your parents aren't cops. Your boss isn't a cop. The cops are fuckin dipshits. Fuck em all.

Still somehow relevant
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space (I honestly feel like this is the biggest difference between Disneyland and the Efteling; not the exact themeing or stylistic approach, but that one is an exploitative megacorp while the other is a passion project that got out of hand - with all the operational differences that that entails)

@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space I would 100% believe it, given the general way they run their parks, although "treating their staff so poorly that operations suffer from it" is a credible second explanation

Vegan tip: sinds een aantal weken geleden zijn vegan producten een standaard onderdeel geworden van de wekelijkse themaproducten bij de Lidl, dus er liggen nu constant nieuwe dingen :)

The new OpenAI “safety and security” committee is staffed by the CEO, 3 directors and 4 “heads of”, as well as its chief scientist. Even though the CEO is not the chair of the committee everyone reports to the CEO. This is true for everyone in a company eventually, but a lot more for the people in this committee, and a lot more directly.
So eh. Yeah. You can’t even call this smoke-and-mirrors or cloak-and-dagger drama. No 3D chess here either. They’re not even trying. That’s how little they care. And of course all the media outlets proudly stating how good this all is.
