I've got everything hung up in preparation for painting and it feels like I'm trying to ward off evil bike spirits from entering my home

Sure. Its definitely not a bubble.

"Why bother writing free software if nobody's going to use it" why bother producing art or documenting the life cycle of an extinct insect or sharing anything that you find interesting or fun - if people find something I've done useful then wonderful, but even if they don't I want to be able to share it with them

I have no idea whether Mamdani will make a good mayor, which is a significant improvement over his rivals.

Getting pushed to use "AI" tools at work. I'm trying a CLI coding assistant tool. It's not allowed to modify my files, and I told it to be a little sarcastic.

It offered to help me look for job postings where I wouldn't have to deal with poorly documented Linux kernel network subsystems, and in another instance recommended alcohol as a solution to my problems.

Also

Gets TX timestamps. Maybe. If the kernel feels like it. And the NIC is in a good mood. And Mercury isn't in retrograde.

and

At least you got an error message, that's something.

Okay, let's ruin your day.
