ugh, I just had a dream conflating 2 lost loves with 2 of the worst things that have ever happened to me, in a scenario where I misunderstood, misspoke, and then cried and cried as I tried to explain that i had made a mistake, but not the one everyone thought. sitting in an airport trying to tell her I’ve loved her since we met, but was too afraid and broken to say so. We kissed, and her entire family actually wanted to kill me because they had cemented a lie.

People who are suicidal due to mental illness don’t want to die. They’re looking for an escape from the pain they’re enduring internally, and in their minds, their death seems to be the only way to achieve it. Sadly, part of this is because of how we as a society handle those who are struggling mentally.

dhs are nazis too

so I don't see

how "only"

funding them

is a "win"

in any way.

Also, this regime

is blurring the lines

between all these different

"agencies"

(including "normal" cops).

They're all fucking nazis

& none of it should be funded.

also! while i'm here! the article says that vibe coding is okay when you're making "tools where you’re the only user, where the stakes are 'my task list doesn’t sync properly' rather than 'customer data got leaked.'" and i think it sucks to downplay the stakes of personal software like this! having a synced task list can be *extremely important* in specific circumstances. and settling for a mode of software dev (ie agentic ai) in which you shrug and say "sometimes it doesn't work" really sucks

i can still teach someone how to write html and css and use sftp to upload a website in an afternoon (and honestly css makes this learning process MORE accessible, not less!). but that process is pretty divorced from the main thing people want to use the web for today (make money and run scams)

If your stated goal is to make computing into a “utility” (aka subscription) you can only obtain from Big Tech and if your entire industry is comprised of rentiers, it makes perfect sense to also make actually owning a general computing device as expensive as possible.

As far as Big Tech is concerned, this is a feature, not a bug.

It’s capitalists acquiring capital and pricing it out of the reach of those they want to make dependent on them.
