When you talk about people you make them important. I want to think more about who I choose to make important.

Even if you are criticizing someone, burying their bad ideas with logic and all the knives of science you're still making them and their ideas important.

You can expect me to talk about Iain M. Banks more and the questions I have about his work.

It's why it's probably is a good idea to do a critical review of Newitz and their "Terraformers" which I also have questions about.

The reason I joined the Android team in 2010, and that since 2008 I’ve carried Android not iOS devices, was that I could just download software. And other people could download mine.

This new process is a massive breaking of faith with the community.

To be fair, every year or two Apple ratchets up the difficulty of downloading Mac apps.

The doors on every open platform are swinging closed, fast or slow. Capitalism is broken. Another reason we need to protect the Web.

Feaugh.

Maybe I'm just seeing things, but it seems like a lot of rust hate has subsided, coincidentally ever since claude code became usable? Was it really driven that much by salt and bruised egos?

I remember the days when a dumb terminal needed to connect to the network to function, whilst a smart computer could do everything locally.

Nowadays a smart fridge needs an internet connection and a dumb fridge can do everything locally.
