I’m definitely 100% addicted. I would probably go through some sort of mental crisis if I were shut out. But I also hate it. I want to unplug, but I’m unable.

I used to not get why someone would buy a physical DVD/Bluray/CD/whatever. Well, now I get it. I’d much rather own it than “own” it.

I feel like the people who pay for Twitter are probably dumb enough to pay whatever price the muskrat wants, so why not make it $200 a month?

This project technically started in 2009, as part of another project called Dandelion (which then was renamed to Pines), then around 2014 I pulled it out into its own project, Nymph. I worked on it on and off, until 2021, when I rewrote it for Node.js as Nymph.js.

It now runs my email service, https://port87.com/

Here’s the oldest code I can find on GitHub from July 7, 2009:

And here’s the first version as its own project from Sep 8, 2014:

Do yourself a favor and download MusicBrainz Picard.

Miraculous Ladybug. Such a dumb show, but I like it. It’s definitely a villain of the week show with a magic fix everything button.

I guess you can’t see if your eyes are closed.

Believe the mass graves and filled ERs.

Fox News tells you not to believe your eyes, and conservatives trust Fox News more than their own eyes.

This is good. We need more GUI tools to keep the noobs out of the terminal. Not only because that gives a better impression, but it also protects them from doing a command wrong and really hurting something.

Enshittification is a consequence of private equity investments, so no. Companies who don’t take money from private equity will actually innovate. Whether they can survive the monopolies that do take private equity investments is another question.

The real problem is the need for constant revenue growth. If a company doesn’t care about constantly growing their revenue, they can put their funds toward long term projects that may not pay out until many years down the road. Those are the companies that truly innovate.

Plus there’s always room for new companies to come in and innovate, even with private equity money. Just don’t expect that from the already established companies.

Once one person has all the power, they de facto have all the wealth. Slaves don’t own anything.

Is Puppet getting forked hard?

That’s required in Texas.

I wish we had this in the US.

Don’t. What the fuck? Did they do this on purpose? Then do not associate with them again, they’re a psychopath. If it was an accident, and their apology is half assed, then they’re not really sorry. Not a sociopath, but a jerk.

Something along the lines of “don’t ever go to bed angry at each other.” Like, yeah, you should try to work it out, but if you fucked up real bad, don’t push it. Sleep on the couch.

Almost definitely not at all. There’s just too much latency, due to the speed of light. Local storage will always be faster than cloud, by a huge margin, unless you’re using an incredibly slow medium.

Then kids bop.

Hmm. You remember how congress used to round up suspected communists?
