biased opinions on subjects that scarcely matter
whatever happened with the 'auteur' wave of #horror that's been surfing for a while? films like 'the witch', 'hereditary', 'get out', 'midsommar'? I haven't heard of anything like this recently (in the last coupla years actually)
The #slopocalypse is the result of the gamification of the OSS development. It just feels good to land a PR, especially on a popular repo. Combine that with the ughm less experienced devs' proneness to overestimate their achievements, and the ease to half-bake something that looks plausible enough, and you get the explosion of low-quality slop. Something similar happened to, say, youtube or facebook, but there there was at least some financial incentive
Simone SSteve Wozniak interviewed for CBS:
"I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups [...] I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out."

Cat HicksGaslight of the century that we made programming totally inaccessible to huge portions of the population and now we're told that the reason is programming can only emerge from the innate genius of the brilliant few

Weird... spent some time debugging my #emacs suddenly errored on `package-refresh-contents`, even with a clean config. Turns out, somehow a slash "/" was inserted into `~/.emacs.d/url/cookies`. This file is evaluated inside `url-retrieve-synchronously`, and the slash tripped the eval.
The only question is, how tf did the slash end up in this file at all? 🤔
