A crummy day mentally.

The literal and figurative dismantling of the world is bumming me out. Kansas City's CC is voting on an ordinance to let a Texas developer demolish a 100 year-old building in my neighborhood to build more shitty apartments. (And raise the height limit and fuck up the neighborhood more.)

It feels inevitable. I keep my mental health intact by expecting the worst in humanity, but it's all overwhelming.

If you make these kinds of choices based on "what someone says", you're doing it wrong. No one is suggesting that.

I am (slowly) moving from Debian to Devuan for all the obvious and well-documented problems with systemd. No need to recite that stuff in detail.

Observing that Ubuntu is going all-in on autoslop, and being able to connect the dots and project into the future, moving from Ubuntu to literally anything else (that isn't on the same problematic path) is also pretty darn obvious.

But throwing up a nihilist hypothetical strawman to try to convince others it's not worth trying to fix problems? That is GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE territory. Plonk.

One of the most intensely #nihilist memories of one of my workplaces is the fact that trashcans were lined with discarded prints, often of scientific articles.

Not much for the fact that discarded paper was used in an useful way (which can be considered good) but that the latest advances in science, most of the time behind a paywall, ended up at the bottom of trashcans. I still think about it and don't know how to process it
Keir Starmer was advised to ditch net zero. He needs to re-embrace it

After byelection defeat and with right-leaning advisers gone, will PM return to his instincts and embrace Labour ‘DNA’ on climate?
