This works. I married ɚ.

Was telling the youngest about physical phone books.

About the businesses called A. Aaaaaaardvark Whatever who’d all struggle to be on the first page of the alphabetical lists.

I’m pretty sure I just reinforced his belief that I was lucky to survive, what with all the dinosaurs.

NetBSD - a nuanced discussion about what to do with upstream slop, about not having the resources to fork the world & yet not wanting to ship unpatched bugs.

OpenBSD - a slop generated dick pic with LOLZ written across it in MS Paint.

FreeBSD - a Netflix ad.

#openbsd #netbsd #freebsd #runbsd #run

PHP weenies complaining about people dissing their sad & pathetic language when it does sad & pathetic things. Aww diddums.

Another big month for square brackets, Objective C now at no. 5.

I’m becoming obsessed with watching it rocket up this list.

Back when the Microslop guy was talking about using bots to rewrite all of their C++ in Rust I started thinking about this, but DHH’s sealed the deal for me.

For a language with as much of a dependency addiction as Rust to have any substantial part of those dependencies be slop…

Avoid. Avoid.

Flicked through DHH’s ethnic cleansing con keynote. Just get agents to write it in rust don’t bother with ruby. Hahaha.

That’s the second language that guy’s convinced me not to use now. So he kind of has his uses.

#ruby #rails #rust #dhh – whatever else is useful to filter this stuff

Foot traffic has declined, complain the shops on a street that goes from nowhere to nowhere & really only has a few overpriced pubs & an office works on it now. Oh, & has been surrounded by a bewildering maze of road closures for years.

Nobody can work out why.

Obligatory #canberra toot.

Blergh, pro ICE crap on Gemini.

“Calling the BSD Cafe a "Nazi Bar" from the outside simply because we do not automatically censor people who have an opinion different from yours is offensive towards the hundreds of people who are part of this community.”

Riiiight. Bye.

Open source licenses, GPL, MIT, whatever, imagine that in the battle between one person writing code in their spare time & a trillion dollar corporation that wants their work for free, it’s the one person with the code who has all the power & needs to be kept in check.

It was a stupid idea from the start.

Non commercial, ethical use licenses are the future.

Ethical use would prohibit AI, though that needs to be spelled out for the slop huggers who aren’t all that bright.

Remember, children

Lasting political crisis, for you.

Opportunities in the guillotine market for me.

Potato pohtahto.

Has the FreeBSD project decided what it thinks about ai slop yet?

Last I heard they were still thinking hard, but probably going with it’s not good enough for code, just for froufrou like testing & docs, but has there been any movement?

#freebsd #bsd #runbsd

What’s left of my human DNA’s struggling with the shape shifting alien/lizard person DNA I got from the gumment.

(Yet another cold. It’s been quite the winter.)

After the AI bubble pops & Oracle gets broken up for scrap, who would be the funniest buyer for Java?

#java #jvm

The lurgy has caught up with me.

Enlurgyfied.

I don’t even.

Haha, more than 3 people went there. 502 error.
