I’m a writer, but don’t expect deep, personal shit. I’m a sysadmin who doesn’t like nerds, they’re every bit as willing to be the most vicious and petty of bullies as the people they claim they’re so very different from.

But as individuals, they’re all right.

If I say “free software” I ONLY am speaking of the price.

The amount of pandering Trump is doing to get Miami Cubans to forget about him deporting them is wild.

literally took a break from hauling manure to make this video about how the fertilizer crisis is

um

not real

This is where fertilizer prices are at. Lower than they were for most of 2025.

@timbray @evan @timbray @evan yes, and if only one person was using LLMs for 30 minutes here and there, the usage wouldn’t be a problem. But that’s not the scale, it’s tens of millions 24x7.

And even if no one used them, the datacenters consume that power and water constantly. The servers don’t sleep sans queries. They are always running. They require massive amounts of energy and water simply to exist.

@ctp I mean, I agree completely, but Apple barely tolerates user-created automation as it is. They’ve been clear that they only want you to use canned shortcuts created by devs.

Which is a shame, but then Apple hasn’t had a coherent OS-wide automation framework since Mac OS 9, and while I’d like to be wrong, I think they’ll ship unicorns before they embrace true user automation.

@flargh something about raid bosses burn crosses

Just found out FFXIV got Tom Morello to do the music for a raid.

That is now the coolest MMO.
