bash is so fucking funny. the fact that [ is a command and if [ $a -eq $b ] is actually calling the command [ with args $a -eq $b ] and checking its exit code is so fucking hilarious
like literally run which [ and you get /usr/bin/[

This is the best and funniest piece of performance art this year. A whole-ass court case brought by a man who doesn't seem to understand the piece of art he is complaining about.
The main purpose of Twitter for me now, is to look for someone's account on there and see if they're willing to do or say fascist shit when the environment encourages it

sometimes a fanfic is a love letter to the canon, sometimes it's a polite rejection, and sometimes it's the 95 things that canon did absolutely wrong nailed to the wall with crossbow bolts

Hey, time to check if your backups:
Actually are being made
Are restorable
For me, my backup machine had a funny issue where the backup disks didn't mount - so the backups filled up a small root partition instead due to a configuration issue... Oops.
But this is fixed now ^-^

@RussSharek @joepie91 what about neuromami ?

silly response
Potential issue: poll lacks neurosour, neurosalty, neurosweet, and neurosavory options.

We kunnen beter. De tijden vereisen het.
Actieverslag demonstratie Geef Haat Geen Macht, 17 maart
https://peterstormt.nl/2024/03/18/we-kunnen-beter-de-tijden-vereisen-het/
Dat was een tamelijk trieste vertoning, gisterenmiddag 17 maart 2024 in Den Haag: de demonstratie Geef Haat Geen Macht. De omvang was miniem. De aanpak precies verkeerd, de bepaald ook vrij treurig. Aan de aanwezige demonstranten lag het niet, die deden hun best en lieten zich horen. Maar wie denkt dat we met de aanpak van degenen die deze demonstratie op touw hebben gezet, echt een sterke antifascistische beweging opbouwen die gewicht in de schaal legt tegen de dreiging van een fascistenkabinet, mag daar nog eens heel goed over nadenken.
(...)
Nieuwe acties komen er intussen aan! Pegida wil op 23 maart in Arnhem weer een Koran-verbranding proberen. Daar hoort actief verhinderd te worden. En transhaters gaan op 26 maar weer hun giftige ding doen op in Utrecht. Dat hoort minstens luidruchtig overschreeuwd te worden.
(...)
Nieuwe initiatieven tegen de fascistendreiging op regeringsniveau, zijn echter ook nodig. Graag betere dan de vertoning van gisteren. Graag zonder lange sprekerslijst en uitzichtloze demonstratieroutes. We kunnen echt beter, en de tijden vereisen het.
I feel like we might be having a bit of a sample size problem on one half of the poll here

when you are blocked from working on something else because your adhd brain wants to work on something that has is being blocked by external factors.

“Since Covid” is an incomplete phrase. Since Covid what? Began? Somebody said it ended and you weren’t observant enough to contest that notion? You were infected the first time?

"this was an audience at one of the nation’s most prominent and influential tech conferences. For the buzziest tech of the moment to get shouted down at *SXSW* speaks volumes about the scale and nature of the animosity generative AI has amassed. The tech is seen, here, as exploitative by tastemakers and *by technologists*."

you know those foggy woods sections of video games where if you wander too far off the intended path the fog envelops you and you get teleported back to the start? that's my sleep schedule rn
software, capitalism
I used to rule out my involvement in projects that are themselves commercial, because it always ends up being labour exploitation and shady business tactics.
With every passing day, and every 'big tent' software project experience, I am more and more seriously considering only ever getting involved in projects that explicitly commit to being anti-capitalist.
So often they just end up becoming the same thing as commercial projects, just with a layer of indirection...
