In 2019 I met a young Meta engineer who was really fired up about wanting to change the company ‘from the inside’. She asked me why I hated her company. I said I’d just come from a place where I saw it accelerate genocide (Myanmar) and suppress democracy. She said oh at least they won’t do it here.

I wonder where she is now. Probably laid off.

@amoroso beyond all expectations, I installed #Interlisp from source on #FreeBSD today.

I was doing a quick test of how much pain it would be to create a port package for #freebsd

Maiko built on the first try.
I got the runtime via git.
I got the prebuilt loadups.

After unpacking, I ran the (obsolete) startup script and…it just worked. Medley running under Wayland.

Was it. Supposed. To work?

Best path forward for Canada would be for NDP and Liberals to announce a temporary merger, with the sole goal of installing a #RankedBallot system to end #FPTP.

That done, the parties could separate and we could avoid both hells – sliding into a two-party system and a fascist conservative majority.

Even the conservatives themselves would likely split into sane vs MAGA-wannabe groups and we'd eventually have a tapestry of representation instead of perpetual polarization.
