Thom, exceedingly pure May 5, 2024

I'm still not entirely sure how not voting for Biden and letting Trump get elected is going to lead to fewer dead Palestinians.

The raw deal is that not voting for Biden means you're going to be complicit in killing more Palestinians. Oh and also all your LGBTQ+ friends you keep random generating about are also going to get royally fucked. Oh and all the Ukrainians and Baltic people Putin will genocide under Trump.

Sucks to be an American, life is hard, your system sucks, etc. etc., we know. Now just go out and vote for the slightly less bad royal asshole for the good of the rest of the world, you privileged ass.

@unusual_whales Tell you what, everybody I work with from India isn't worth the money, if you ask me. Then you have problems with time zones. I think people are going to regret this.

@NatalieDavis And it'll be a courts martial instead of being a regular defendant. Different rules of evidence, all kinds of bad things. Levenworth.. Bet fellow inmates won't like traitors

@kevlin To me what is hard is defining the problem in complex systems. Not "I want to do X" but do X while saving Y for use in Z in such a way that it doesn't break B. Maybe not a real good analogy but being able to define all the parameters in a complex system is what makes me a good dev. I have never been able to lay out a complete problem, up front, in a way I could feel it into AI. And the side problems is where the debugging is

@kd2pyk @rstein @pluralistic @scalzi Oh yeah that one was great. Enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to, and Wheaton was perfect for it

Anytime a software/hardware vendor has to (substantially?) change their terms of service, if you don't agree with the changes they have to buy their hardware/software back..

@rstein @pluralistic I love Will Wheaton's audiobooks. Walkaway was great, but really almost anything he did is good. Scalzi's the interdependency series is hilarious
