    I cannot imagine approving action by action ever again. Its emotionally draining, probably like a customer service rep feels it. Just call for your attention in rapid succession ag…

    Maybe no garbage collection is the back pressure missing from the voracious consumption machine.

    How do you make sure the thing you are hoping saves everyone has an inclination (or ability) to do so? How do you make sure it is only afflicted with the human parts you like and n…

    It bothers my brain when a longtime followed podcast changes their cover image. You conditioned my brain for years to a certain image and pattern and now you change it? How dare yo…

    I own everything I've learned. I also own some hardware on which I sometimes deposit this information for later retrieval. I own all of it, keys to nuts.

    Seeing the little DRM note kills my joy entirely. I have used steam, but the runtime anti-tamper malware has no place on my system. I don't use the word malware lightly. I trust it…

    Like labelling bacon nitrate free while also including celery seed something-or-another that is... Just nitrates.

    Aren't the giants closer to the mob than a police force? I suppose those things are not terribly different in practice, but Google, Facebook, et al make money from leaving the scam…

    How does a centralized power structure knowing every action millions of people take bring about "peace and safety and the ensuing prosperity"? I guess you didn't mean for most of u…

    I have no idea, but that would be weird considering Fable refuses to do anything within 10 miles of security.

    This seems like a useless definition of political.

    First time I've heard somebody call recognizing the evils of ad tech cynicism.

    You sign up once and login an arbitrary number of times. Not sure how signing up is ever the more frequent path. I've signed up for things I use maybe at most twice throughout a li…

    I've come to view the goal of things being cheap as an anti goal. The biggest contribution to us speed running killing our ecosystems. Maybe all of us going without more often woul…

    Maybe try and build something and see for yourself? Saying elixir is not fit for real world use shows how little experience with it you have.

    OpenCode Zen gives api rate access to lots of different models. You can get a lot done with Deepseek v4 for pennies.

    Only if you operate under the misguided assumption that the law cannot be wrong. I care less for legalese than morals. Its plainly not theft, regardless of the hand wringing of bur…
