As a human who uses emdash, I gotta say it's peak AI to use emdash but put spaces around it.

JavaScript terminal applications that try to be all fancy with lines and colors and constant redrawing are such garbage.

I want to call it Unaccountable Linux and actually prevent you from creating user accounts.

It seems to me an alternative way to protest the Age Verification laws, at least in California and Colorado, is to stop creating user accounts at all. If there's no account setup, nor any account holder, these laws don't clearly apply.

Why does your OS need to know anything about you at all? You might want a PIN or passphrase to keep your computer locked, and you might log into some accounts from the web browser, but there's almost no value in an OS storing any personal details about you.

At Amazon in the old days Kerberos would tell you it was about time you went home by expiring your ticket. I liked that.

Now I've got Claude Code compactions increasing as the day progresses. It's less deterministic, and way more annoying, but it's still a reminder that I've been at it a while.

This is good parenting advice too.

It's so weird that The Jetsons were right that the future involves going to work to press a button over and over again.
