when i update software. i never notice anything changing in a good way. ever! like ive never seen software update and been like "thanks, thats a great new feature!" the exception of maybe twice, this has never happened? i don't think i've even noticed a bug fix either. i only ever see bad new updates to everything. annoying things they (re)moved. breaking changes. stuff no longer works. customizations i spent ages on no longer have any effect. settings get ignored. stuff breaks. updates are bad
@jk I feel the same way most of the time. Would be great if we could just grow our own computers out back in the yard instead. Write software for them by taking naps. No need to update anything ever, just remember to water it every now and then. Leave the damp computer sludge out on the windowsill to dry in the afternoon sun. Take a walk and maybe contemplate the vastness of forests while your waiting. That's also computation. Even that rock is computing it's weight and position in the universe.
@t36s I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky
@jk This made me smile. Thank you. Just lovely that was.
@t36s (brautigan, 1967 btw!)
@jk Very nice.
