maybe it doesn't count for anything, but everyone who protested for Gaza was 100% correct. Everything the movement warned about came to pass.
Even if you think some of us went too far (cough liberal cough), you should acknowledge the goal was to stop slaughter

hi, I really enjoyed reading your blog post.
Thank you for making the font picker, that made it a lot easier to read for me.
I tried to run the command for the bad apple thing, but I'm only seeing a bunch of \035 in the traceroute instead of the actual characters, do you have an idea what could cause this?
@lanodan missed this msg, sorry >,<
it’s heavily compressed to fit in as little TXT records as I could XD in hindsight i could have made it a bit higher bitrate

I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.
I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.
I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.

I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like
"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

From @EmmettMacfarlane
"Wasting billions on income tax cuts in this context isn’t just a bad idea, it is ruinous. It’s also the opposite of fiscal responsibility. You don’t starve government coffers at a time when generational investments are needed."
"Moreover, it’s a wasted political opportunity. #Canadians are pissed. They are also scared. They should be."

Trump and Vance are confused why everyone else isn't behaving like sycophants because they run the US.
Ok, let's sum this up. The thing that gets to me about the Signal chats is the Vice President of the US talking about bailing out Europe. There was a comment about how only the US could drone a building, which is wild, I feel like I could probably throw a bomb at a building using the contents of most kitchens. Sure - maybe the US's bombs and drones are fancier - but I think we need to zoom in on that.
The US administration thinks that it's getting value for its money on defense. There's a theory that the US military budget is being spent on getting stuff rather than mostly just a slush fund for defense contractors. But this leads them to believe that they're the most powerful people in the world and that they're as much stronger than any other country by the amount more they spend on weapons.
And because of that they think that Europe couldn't stop terrorists. There's a belief that people aren't shooting drones at civilians because they *can't*, and they're mad that people are relying on them to fire drones at civilians. They believe that everyone else is just ungrateful for their droning of civilians. They can't envision a world where blowing up innocents in an apartment building is considered a bad move.

@Hypolite Petovan To be fair, this is partly me thinking about your own thoughts (I read your post yesterday). But tthis line definitely was most formed with yelling at Zelenskyy for not saying thank you. But it's all fucked, but it's such background noise in all the warcrimes vomit.
I think the fact that they killed 50ish innocent people who no theory they were involved in anything is also wildly important to this stry!

What struck me about the Atlantic editor being included in a Signal group chat about a bombing mission in Yemen isn’t the less-than-tight OPSEC, but rather the self-reinforcing propaganda even among top officials when Europe briefly catch a couple strays during the conversation. How is bombing rebels in Yemen “bailing Europe out”?
I keep naively thinking fascist grifters are above their own con, but not even.

I reckon the 'bailing Europe out' is because of how much of Europe's maritime trade passes through the area being bombarded by terrorists.
Also, upholding UNCLOS is a public good.
Be awesome if the Europeans continue their support of the fight against Iran's terrorists who threaten UNCLOS.

No need to apologise - neither do I have enough data to have an informed opinion on that issue.
Well, to be fair, US foreign policy re the Mid-east has noticeably improved since Trump 1.0. Look at the Abraham Accords, the I2U2 grouping and work on the IMEEC. Plenty more still to do, but there has been some good stuff.

I don't understand people's economic choices.
One of the worst parts of modern life is innovaton. One of the most annoying things that could happen in my economic life is if Kijiji Innovated. If Kijiji improved/changed it could only annoy me.
I see people being mad about "Dead Games", and I also see people mad about Live Service Games. My entire goal in gaming is for my games to never change. I don't want changes, I want to play, see the story, finish, or mess with systems.
I don't get the search for innovation in corporations, and I don't get why someone would want them to. I don't get why people get annoyed by a product not updating.

I really don't understand people's existential horror at Star Trek transporters.
If you're a materialist - why do you care if your body is preserved alongside your mind. Why is it a problem that you get stored in a pattern buffer?
If you're not a materialist - why do you care about the body and not the soul? Why do you think your soul would become untethered because of changes in your body? I don't get it!
@Malin Interesting - so you think that it's about the ability to copy. Thomas Riker is the real prior art here - but also kinda the counter example. Mirroring the pattern was supposed to be impossible - the idea of copying something with the transporter is impossible properly.
Maybe it's true - the idea of digital information is what's causing the issue - computers can only properly copy - but as envisioned in the 60s there's this idea that you can be transformed into a "matter stream" and stored in a buffer and it's fine. But now people don't materially engage with that...

Riker's twin makes a great example, along with that guy with the fear of transporters.
I think the fear comes from really thinking about what the real process is, but you're probably right that people understand it more now from working with files.

@Hypolite Petovan If your game has the coolest magic sword in the world, and the PC who swings a sword isn't getting it, it's a wasted detail. That sword should be in the hands of the villain or the hero, or else fuck it.
Maybe some games will have players who all hate swords and it doesn't come up, but the expectation is that the cool parts of the game are used in the game!

@Hypolite Petovan If I'm playing A Game Of Magic Swords my sword can be cool because it's on fire instead of +1, and if I'm playing Grim Gritty No Magic my sword can be cool because the hilt is obsidian or because it helped fight off the Huns.
But don't say "Grim Gritty No Magic has the sword called Magic Sword and it exists but the GM shouldn't let a player have it because it's rare!

A hacker is someone who studies and explores systems. Generally because they find it fun. Many posit this attitude is innate as opposed to learned. I think that that's complicated but I am willing to believe there are innate hackers.
My son is an innate hacker.
He has figured out that if I'm leaving for something, he can always get more time with me by asking for another hug. If he's had 3-5 hugs I'll eventually give up. Meaning he offers me a hug, which always works. If I'm in my office because I'm "at work" he can offer to make me a cup of coffee and then he gets to see me (even if briefly).
The problem is that cutting off these behaviours make him sad and I can't do that.
This means I have a hacker child figuring out how to exploit me. This is really fun but also really weird.

i understand the connection to roko's basilisk, and i agree with your assessment there, but what is the connection to effective altruism?
i only just now looked it up on wikipedia; the pitch seems harmless enough, but it seems the people involved in it twisted it into something else. i found this paragraph which is perhaps the connection you allude to?
I'd agree the premise has been twisted, if it didn't come from a source that obviously created it as a cover for their fascist BS
The people who deported innocent men to a torture prison in El Salvador didn't get hired yesterday. The people rounding up parents and kids who have been in the US for decades didn't get hired yesterday. The people who have seized multiple European tourists and put them through hell didn't get hired yesterday.
The Musk-Trump administration hasn't had the time to entirely turn over the ranks of yankee law enforcement, they didn't fire all the good cops and replace then with klansmen. The people doing this were by and large already there, they are the same people. They were always ready and willing, even enthusiastic, to do this.
The next time there is a social movement dedicated to taking power back for communities from law enforcement, remember this. Remember this is always who they were, this is always what these institutions were. When we entrust the power and safety of our communities to an elevated warrior class, that class of people becomes separate from our communities and develops a taste for power.
